Elvis - The 1977 February Tour

Out Now, new DVD The February 1977 Tour.

Cine8 returns after their very well received release "A Medley Of Costumes" with their second DVD featuring unreleased 8mm footage. While Elvis his first tour of 1977 was a step down in comparison to the great december '76 tour, Elvis still seemed to have the spirit to put on some great shows, while he looked far from his best during the first show, things improved as the tour went on and he started to look much better. This tour often has been overlooked when it comes to footage and so ''The February 1977 Tour'' DVD fills that gap!

On this DVD we've opted to create a watchable DVD consisting of various performances from 7 different shows on this tour, matched with soundboard sound you'll find complete performances of ''Fairytale'' as performed in Charlotte, NC on February 20th, the only version of ''Big Boss Man'', the two versions of ''Blueberry Hill'' Elvis performed on this tour along with the rare ''Where No One Stands Alone'', a rousing version of ''Polk Salad Annie'' and ''It's Now Or Never'' performed on February 16th among other performances, the DVD is rounded out by a few unedited clips, including a rare ''Funny How Time Slips Away'' and a blistering version of ''Hurt'' performed during the very first show of this tour. Sit back, relax and enjoy this release!

Kommentar von lucio im FECC:

"Negativ: Die Videoqualität ist nur mittelmäßig und nicht besser als die Versionen, die wir in der Vergangenheit von Larry Patrick und ähnlichen Quellen erhalten haben. Nichts verbessert oder neu.

Positiv: Der Schnitt ist großartig, wobei das Material aus verschiedenen Shows gemischt wurde, um einen aus mehreren Winkeln zusammengesetzten Film zu erstellen. Da das meiste Material etwas überbelichtet ist, verschmelzen die verschiedenen Anzüge miteinander, so dass fast der Gesamteindruck eines einzigen Konzerts mit vielen verschiedenen Blickwinkeln entsteht.

Leider zeigt die Tatsache, dass man diese Art von zusammengesetzten Konzerten erstellen kann, wie ähnlich die Shows in den letzten Jahren waren, bis hin zu der Art, wie er die Lieder sang und in welche Richtung er seinen Kopf drehte oder seine Beine beim Singen bewegte.

Zu einem vernünftigen Preis ist es wert, sie zu haben. Ein Kompliment an den Video-Editor. Er/sie sollte seine/ihre Talente bei Filmen von besserer Qualität einsetzen können."
