DCC COMPACT CLASSICS
Talked with the DCC company yesterday. Said Volume 2 has been moved from January 2001 to "sometime during 2001". Although they didn't say, my guess is it would arrive sometime before the August Madness in Memphis. They said no track listing was available at this time.

Has anyone heard any more news regarding FTD #6 ?
'Also Sprach Zarathustra' and 'See See Rider' was not taped. They've included a version of 'See See Rider' from Odessa 05/30, matinee show and 'Love Letters' from the same date,but this time from the evening show. Some edits have been done as well in order to fit the show into one cd. The cover is not finished, but the photo seen on worldwideelvis.com appears to be the one they' ve chosen for the cover.

FTD # 6, TUCSON '76; Recorded in Tucson, Arizona, 1st June 1976

Ernst Jorgensen just gave me the definitive confirmation that the 6th FTD release will be a soundboard recording of Elvis' concert in Tucson, Arizona on June 1st, 1976. This concert was chosen because Elvis is in very good voice, he's in a good mood, and the concert has some very nice surprises. Jorgensen played the concert for me, and I agree wholeheartedly. This concert will surprise many of you. Many of the usual songs from that period are there, but there's also a great rockin' BURNING LOVE (with a long finale), followed by the first surprise of the evening, an excellent version of HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT. After that Elvis asks: "what do you wanna hear?", and people shout all kinds of songtitles. Somebody even asks for THE LAST FAREWELL, and Elvis acknowledged that it's on his latest album, but that they can't play it. He then says that they could do something else from that album, and DANNY BOY is suggested. And then Elvis himself starts doing this song (no this is not a typo, it's Elvis himself, not Sherrill Nielsen!!!). At first both Elvis and the band seem a little unsure, but they get more and more into the song, and it reaches a beautiful full climax. DANNY BOY is a complete performance of 2,5 or 3 minutes (roughly) and in my opinion it's much better than the studio version. Elvis sings it with great feeling and determination - no fluffed lines or anything. I had goosebumps all over while listening to this version, it's an amazing performance.
The FTD Tuscon 76 concert release will be out on October 1st, 2000.
The current FTD, LONG LONELY HIGHWAY, is out now and can be ordered through
