"How Great Thou Art" (Live, April 1972)

"Elvis On Tour" unreleased footage + a little something about Elvis' Blue Nail jumpsuit.

April 9 1972. Elvis Presley performing at the Hampton Roads Coliseum, Hampton Roads, VA (8:30pm), wearing the Blue Nail jumpsuit with White Fireworks suit belt.

I LOVE IT! I love it, I love it, I love it!

But I have a one thing going on my mind on why they kept this performance out of the final film. This is a different song but the vibe (even the scene) is very similar to the religious song that was performed by the Stamps Quartet on the same concert, a Gospel song that actually made it to the final cut, "Sweet, Sweet Spirit". The similarity between both performances (in scene and energy) is what makes me believe they had to choose between one of them. Elvis shows his appreciation for Gospel music in both performances - with that characteristic reverential shiny look on his face. We do have a better glimpse of the depth of E's love for God with both songs performed live so I believe the decision for one of the songs was based on little details on Elvis' behavior. For example, with "Sweet, Sweet Spirit" we see him gently shushing a fan that threatened to keep screaming during the Stamps performance... that little detail adds another layer to the scene, unarguably. We can connect better with E's feelings when we watch him just listening to the song instead of performing it himself, IMHO. Besides, the film already had Elvis singing gospels during rehearsal scenes. Those are just my thoughts... I have no info on what went on inside the editing room but knowing Martin Scorsese was there - and the actor he is - I believe he was sensitive enough to guide the movie's editing decisions based on such assertive and thoughtful consideration between those two great performances of religious music.

What are your thoughts?

JSYK: ELVIS ON TOUR: THE BLUE NAIL SUIT WORN WITH TWO DIFFERENT BELTS.

For two concerts filmed for the Elvis On Tour documentary, Elvis wears the Blue Nail jumpsuit but with different belts. Those concerts were on April 9 and 16, 1972. For the April 9 concert Elvis wore the Blue Nail suit with the White Fireworks belt, which originally belongs to the White Fireworks suit - first worn by El in 1971. Picture 1 above is from the April 9, 1972 concert (screenshot from the film) while the picture 2 is a cropped image that shows the Elvis wearing the White Fireworks belt on it's original costume. For April 16, 1972 concert Elvis wears the Blue Nail suit again but this time with its original belt, performing at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Jacksonville, Florida (8:30 pm). The footage from April 9, 1972 was the one mainly used on Elvis On Tour, concerning the Blue Nail suit, to show Elvis' performance onstage itself, while the footage from April 16, 1972 was used in specific scenes with no singing involved. The first time the April 16th performance appears onscreen (as far as I noticed) is by the mid section of the film, with Elvis doing karate moves onstage while fans talk about their feelings for him. By the end of the movie, when we see EP wearing the Blue Nail suit again, the performance is, once more, from the April 9th concert. Below there's a screenshot from the film (3) and a picture taken of Elvis on stage (4), both images from the April 16th 1972 concert: The Blue Nail jumpsuit with the original belt.

The final scene of EOT (Elvis leaving the venue) is composed by a combination of images from the concerts on April 9th ​​and 16th. When he runs off the stage and goes backstage it is footage from April 16th (original belt, photo 5 - screenshot from the film); when EP is running down the hallway, rushing to get into the car waiting for him outside, it's footage from April 9th ​​(White Fireworks belt, photos 6-7).

That all leave us wondering... There definitely is more footage of Elvis On Tour, in good-enough quality and great performances, yet to be released... So why is taking so long? *~*

On this day... - September 9th

+ 1970 : Boston Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, USA

“By 8:30, equipment men were still fiddling while Zep tuned up backstage. They burst on at 9 with an adrenaline rush. It had the women in a twitter and the men beating out the drum signature on their knee in frank imitation of John Bonham. […] Scaling down from adrenaline rock, Page, Plant and John Paul Jones sat down to do a couple of acoustic numbers featuring bassist Jones on mandolin playing “That’s the Way”. The acoustic section established that they are sensitive musicians as well as pop stars. […] After the acoustic section, Zep got heavy again as the fans mobbed the front of the stage.” – ‘Led Zeppelin in return bout’ by C. Guiliano (Herald)

+ 1971 : Hampton Roads Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia, USA

Neil Young & the International Harvesters - "Interstate" (Hampton Roads Coliseum, Hampton, Virginia, September 12, 1985)

We checked in on Neil last week, getting the details on his 1973 encounter with Gram Parsons. By the mid-1980s, Gram was long gone — but Neil was still out on the interstate, bringing country rock to the masses. And as the photo above shows, it was going great!

Actually, 1985 is an interesting transitional zone for Shakey (though maybe every Shakey zone is interestingly transitional when it comes down to it) — he was touring with the very down-home International Harvesters, but was writing and recording synth-pop tunes that would end up on Landing On Water.

However! Neil seems to have still had a country-ish LP running through the backroads of his mind; his new material included the awesome "Grey Riders" (officially unreleased until A Treasure) and the even more awesome "Interstate" — the latter of which Jimmy McDonough called "one of the loneliest songs Young's ever written." Which is saying something!

Anyway, "Interstate" is a magnificent deep cut. The ghostly Ragged Glory rendition is now more readily available on the recent Official Release Series set, but the OG International Harvesters version remains generally under the radar. Neil and co. played it nine times in 1985; this Hampton, VA, performance is particularly windswept and forlorn — though I'll have to admit I wish Neil was playing electric here. It could be contender for the "Cortez" throne with Old Black in the mix.

Will a 1985 "Interstate" be on Archives, vol. 3?! Time will tell. But in the meantime, Neil has been revealing some enticing specifics about that ginormous set, now due in the summer of '24 ... read it and weep!
