Elvis on MTV Unplugged 1991 Complete Video With All Outtakes

[docinwestchester]

Weird show. His voice is shot. He's in "the beard" phase so he looks strange. There's very little banter with the audience. The set list is obscure and off-putting to the MTV-watching masses. Yet somehow this works, I'm not sure why. Maybe for all the reasons I just listed. But it might be the performance of Couldn't Call It Unexpected No. 4 where he sits down at the piano (aka "joanna") and pretty much bares his soul that makes this a very good show.

At some point soon, I'll be putting this up on Demonoid as a DVD with menu/chapters. I can't use Dime since three tracks — "Deep Dark Truthful Mirror", "The Other Side Of Summer", and "Hurry Down Doomsday (The Bugs Are Taking Over)" — are officially released on Mighty Like A Rose (Rhino reissue) (2002).

Though you can't upload this on Dime, and you put it up on Zombtracker, Traders Den, Yeeshkul, Mindwarppavillion, or Hunger City? I can't access Demonoid.

Thanks again Doc, you have brightened up a really dark evening in my life, Bravo !

I have the same source (I think). But maybe yours is a lower generation copy. Bring it to our next meeting, ok?

No official material allowed on Traders Den, I think. Hunger City is having server issues, once again. Don't know about the others. Why can't you access Demonoid? Do you need an invite code?

I would need an invite code

I have no code also, but I follow the here provided link. I avoid so the page where you need to log in and can download the torrent.

Thanks for this Doc by the way that I Want You Candy was awesome and home would have been good for once if his guitar wasn't out of tune

Never mind. It has been awhile since I've been to Demonoid. I see that it is now open for new members.

Thanks. I've really been getting into the Rude 5 lately. Listening to the boots from that era now, I find the shows better than I recall. They really did great performances of Spike material. I wish EC played more Spike still, including This Town and Let Him Dangle

[brilliantmistake]

I agree. I've always been a fan of the Rude 5. One of the more under appreciated EC backing bands. I have a few bootlegs from the 89 and the 91 Rude 5. I prefer the more moody 91 Rude 5 over the 89. The shows from that tour seem to have some bitterness too them that I really liked. Glad to have a DVD copy of the unplugged (I had a horrible CDROM version of it). This is really a nice transfer. Great work! The versions of the MLAR tunes are awesome.

I've watched Deep Dark Truthful Mirror - amazing, it sent shivers up and down my spine! His voice is shot but he can still reach the big notes, and the gravel actually adds to the performance, I think!

I've always thought this song could've become a classic if it weren't for the weird hallucinatory lyrics - the first line is so beautiful that you expect a rapturous love song of some sort, and if he'd gone that route this song could've been a standard love song now. But crazy lines like 'a stripping puppet on a liquid stick - gets into it, pretty thick' and 'did you ever see a stare like a Persian cat?' take it to a different, weirder, less accessible place for the masses.

Still, great performance! (Although I know Verbal doesn't like this song!)

Excellent upload, many thanks for this
