Elvis In Concert August 16th 1997 Original program Mid-South Coliseum Memphis


In the mid-1990s, Elvis Presley Enterprises started experimenting with recordings of Elvis' live concerts and discovered that through the use of sound mixing they were able to eliminate virtually all of the ambient noise from the multitrack recordings, thus leaving only Elvis' voice. After some work, they conceived a special concert, to be held on August 16, 1997, the twentieth Anniversary of Elvis' death. The show featured Elvis' original 1970s back-up band (TCB Band), his back-up singers (The Stamps Quartet, The Imperials, The Sweet Inspirations and Millie Kirkham) and was performed at Memphis, Tennessee's Mid-South Coliseum. During the show, Priscilla Presley introduced a video that Lisa Marie Presley made. The video was of Lisa Marie performing a duet with her father Elvis on the song "Don't Cry Daddy". It was so successful that the video was shown again.

The show was a huge success, gaining worldwide press. The massive success of the show prompted EPE to draw up plans for a special version of the show to take on the road.

This is an original concert program from that important night.

Me n Elvis by Charlie Hodge - A Must have Elvis book

Image
Charlie was with Elvis continuously from their Army days together, and they had met even before then when Charlie was singing professionally with a gospel group. Charlie was the only professional musician and singer in the Memphis Mafia. While usually introduced as only the water and scarf guy, he functioned as Elvis' stage manager, sang harmony and back-up, and played acoustic guitar on stage. He lived on the grounds of Graceland for many years. He also was one of the few who screened and recommended new material. Elvis even recorded a duet with Charlie soon after their Army days ("I Will Be Home Again"). Considering all that, it's surprising we never heard more about Elvis from Charlie Hodge. Charlie was one of the few who never turned against Elvis in later years - he was unbelievably loyal. Charlie was willing to take the fall, which could have involved a long prison sentence, for a very unfortunate incident that took place during Elvis' lowest period. Fortun...
