I had the Viva Las Vegas 2 disc set in my hands last night at Wal-mart, along with the 2 dvd set of tie and ttwii. I debated for about a half hour on what to buy. Finally I said to hell with it and put them all back, lol. Now I am on the hunt for a mint original copy The American Way Vol. 4. I did notice that the new version of the Mood Blue album has the last two albums Elvis did on one disc. I was quite surprised at that. Why would they do that? It makes no sense to me really except for the simple fact that they did it so everyone would go out and buy it.

Moody Blue (Remastered) has been out since 2000 which features the albums Moody Blue (minus Let Me Be There from Memphis 74) and From Elvis Presley Blvd, Memphis Tennessee. That came out along with Aloha From Hawaii (Remastered), An Afternoon in the Garden, Blue Hawaii (Remastered), and several others. Promised Land (Remasterd) features also two albums. Of course, Promised Land and the other is Good Times. The Moody Blue album you are talking about has this. A photo of Elvis wearing the silver phoenix suit. On the back it shows the red phoenix and shows a small photo of the EPBMT cover. On the back of the booklet is the original cover of Moody Blue. |

Yep, that's it Kellie! I guess it would be ok to have as long as there is no loss in the quality. I really wouldn't like having it though considering both complete albums aren't on it

It is missing Let Me Be There from Memphis 74. I guess they wanted the album just contain songs from 1976 and 1977. |

I have bin really disapointed with many of bmg/sony releases over the past 3 years, it seems that the marketing department has no clue what good ideas were lost with the camp of 2000. --------------------  |

If you really didn't buy the 2 CD set from Viva Las Vegas than you should hurry to do it now. Imo it's the best sounding '69 concert that's around and I really doubt that it can get any better than this - one of the highlights is the best version of 'What'd I Say' that you'll ever hear from EP.

i must agree that the 69 concert is great sounding , but the show itself is not as great as previous efforts - and i believe they could have included some previously unreleased material from feb/70 engaement [many boots have surfaced with some great material from this period], again for me this release left alot to be desired.
