Just awesome....is all i can say about this. Very pricey...and some of the pictures could have been put together much better ( some very small....some duplicated and some annoyingly put spread across pages ).
It does contain some fabulous shots and the CD is great cool.gif

One of my favorite from the FTD series. Th booklet is nie but as Chris said quite a mess. But the tracks on the cd is worth every dime imo.
Elvis at his very best pure and sinple. wink.gif

This is also a MUST HAVE FTD Book incl. CD.
The greatest surprise is this one:
Ghost Riders In The Sky (15.07.70)
With Elvis in very good mood and Quality.
Not off mike like the Boot Version king.gif

This is the best of the three, I think, but like the other FTD releases, extrememly over priced, I have the cdr's of these releases, unless they lower the price, I stick with those! I've have seen the books though, the sound is great on the cd's and I always love those alternate takes, I'm also parital to TTWII, Al

The Way It Was is a fine FTD release, but I just don't like the way they made the book... they could have done a better job with it. Like Chris said, some of the pictures are very small (screen captures) and some of them are put spread across pages... I think there's even a couple of photos twice and a few reversed ones....

But the CD definitely makes up for those "mistakes". Elvis rockin' on the rehearsals and live on stage. It's DYNAMITE!

ghost riders in the sky is a doctored version; the off-mike version is stripped and the vocal is recorded over the off mike version to improve the sound.

Always felt the CD could have been much better...maybe a full show!?.

Pictures in the book were very small and not many new ones to these ole eyes!.

Although I really would have loved another complete show at the time, I thinkn the cd is good as it is, representing the time period chronologically. We hear Elvis rehearsing (and progressing along the way) and then live on stage.

BTW, I love that version of Blue Suede Shoes .. that one really rocks !
