Description

Part 2 of our review of the 1972 documentary "Elvis On Tour" includes discussion on various releases of EOT, its audio-visual components, and pondering whether it has been overshadowed by Aloha From Hawaii. We also debate whether a potential Special Edition would be any more insightful or artistically merited for the mainstream given the known material, or if fan voraciousness is the only thing left driving demand. Then, for Song of the Week, Bec tackles 1967's "Mine", reminding us a bit more about the lives and work of songwriters Sid Tepper and Roy Bennett. Gurdip, being a "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" himself, spotlights the Million Dollar Quartet jams of Chuck Berry's ode to men of color, and finally Justin rounds the show out with Elvis's sweet and vulnerable but once-neglected Sun Records recording, "Tomorrow Night" and learning the tragic story of how it was one of the last melodies written by its composer, Wilhelm Grosz. Elvis On Tour is available on DVD, Blu-Ray and a version that restores "Johnny B. Goode" is available on many digital services.

"Elvis is history," Carl Perkins once said, "and anytime anyone or anything becomes history, whether it be Pearl Harbor or Elvis, it will never go away. The world will never tire of his songs." TCBCast is an unofficial fan podcast featuring co-hosts Gurdip Ladhar and Justin Gausman, along with regular guest co-hosts Ryan Droste and Bec Wyles, plus an array of Elvis fans and experts setting out to better understand that history, and those songs. Tackling topics from throughout Elvis's lifetime and beyond, TCBCast seeks to offer thoughtful, intelligent, heartfelt and honest discourse on Presley's career, his influences, the people who made his work possible, and the cultural phenomenon surrounding his iconography.
