^ great song I'd never heard. Some speculation that Bowie used it as a jumping-off symbol for his last work.

I found the weirdest Facebook group recently.

The weird part being not so much the website itself, but that there are so many altered photos of EP that someone felt obliged to start a Snopes-like site to combat them all.

Because, believe me, I really wanted to submit this one of Madonna getting an autograph to the Photos taken of famous people together that you would never have expected to be together but make you happy all the same. thread.

Just yesterday I found a good one of an early performance of “Burning Love” in which he is still reading off the lyric sheet. Will re-search and post in a bit

One of the weirder connections of 70s rock is that drummer Ronnie Tutt was in the TCB! band backing up the King and then would also do gigs in the Jerry Garcia Band.

Tutt was Neil Diamond’s drummer forever. (Might still be.)
― grawlix (unperson), Friday, 12 January 2018 03:38 (six years ago) link
Isn't there some story of the Memphis Boys initially being mumped up when Elvis came to American to record because Neil Diamond had been bumped?

The 1976 Birmingham concert is well worth checking out. He was so fired up and in good spirits.

good stuff guys, thanks!
interesting to see him in such a playful mood, laughing with that sly smile... I'm glad the musicians are also laughing and smiling, and it doesn't look like it's from anxiety
and then he's switching from playfulness to full on passion out of nowhere, really something special
sounds grrreat!

Yall see this on Deep Cuts?
Just yesterday I was talking about Elvis's amazing cover of Bob Dylan's "Tomorrow is a Long Time," which was not only not a single, but was stuck on Side Two of the soundtrack to Spinout.http://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=0VLpgttfEM0

Weird, it worked a few minutes ago--now it's "Can't Help Falling In Love With You." Also good.

From the doc I just learned that Elvis decided to cover “Tomorrow is a Long Time” after hearing the Odetta version.
― Made in the Shadow Blaster (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 16 April 2018 01:33 (six years ago) link
Internet says it was played for Elvis by Charlie McCoy during How Great Thou Art sessions, which is when Elvis’s version was recorded, only to be released later in the context you mentioned.
― Made in the Shadow Blaster (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 16 April 2018 01:45 (six years ago) link
Famous quote from the '69 Rolling Stone interview: "I liked Elvis Presley. Elvis Presley recorded a song of mine. That's the one recording I treasure the most...it was called 'Tomorrow Is a Long Time.'"
― clemenza, Monday, 16 April 2018 01:48 (six years ago) link
Yes. I believe I first read that quote in my long ago crumbled to dust copy of The Book of Rock and Roll Lists
― Made in the Shadow Blaster (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 16 April 2018 01:52 (six years ago) link
I was listening the other day to Suspicious Minds and thinking to myself how it's actually pretty much a piece of shit as far as a song, and it's only Elvis's performance that makes it great, yet great it is

I just finished reading the Guralnick book last week. I'd be interested in seeing this.
― well bissogled trotters (Michael B), Monday, 16 April 2018 08:24 (six years ago) link
I haven't seen the whole thing yet but it is without question excellent, probably the best Elvis doc. It's structured like Last Train to Memphis/Careless Love.
They do a phenomenal job talking about the impact of Sun Records and Sam Phillips. That's the crux of Part 1.
― kornrulez6969, Monday, 16 April 2018 13:41 (six years ago) link
Best toilet book of all time.
― Sam Weller, Monday, 16 April 2018 15:12 (six years ago) link
It's well worth watching. It does a good job of showing the attachment Elvis actually had to the music and what a fan he was.
― Milking the Soft Power Dividend (dandydonweiner), Monday, 16 April 2018 15:33 (six years ago) link
xpost kornrules, yeah pt 1 definitelyfelt like an “aerial view” of Last Train to Memphis book in a lot of ways. And I enjoy the inclusion of an occasional Tom Petty chuckle here and there <3
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 16 April 2018 20:39 (six years ago) link
But Guralnick’s not involved I don’t think? Watched pt 1 last night and didn’t notice him. Seems like an odd omission.
I thought Petty was great
