Elvis Forever - Tribute to Elvis in London's Hyde Park Announced 7/27/2010 BBC Radio 2 Presents "Elvis Forever" A Celebration of the Music of Elvis Presley Hosted by Chris Evans and Priscilla Presley The 75th birthday of Elvis Presley will be celebrated this summer as part of BBC Radio 2’s commitment to offering a scorching summer of stellar live music performances. In the year that the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll would have turned 75, Radio 2 will bring together some of the biggest names in pop and rock music to perform his best loved and most popular songs as part of Elvis Forever, a concert to be held in London’s Hyde Park on Sunday 12 September 2010, hosted by Radio 2 breakfast show presenter Chris Evans. Radio 2 Breakfast Show host Chris Evans says: “As the Radio 2 audience knows, I am a huge Elvis fan and it’s an honour to host such a celebration of the enduring appeal of his music.” The proceedings will be led by Chris plus other guest presenters who are all great fans of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, culminating in a spectacular firework finale. The line-up of stars performing at Elvis Forever will be announced shortly. This thrilling exclusive concert will be broadcast live on Radio 2, and in the following week listeners will also be able to hear highlights across the station’s daytime shows. The BBC Radio 2 Website will feature exclusive backstage footage and interviews from the event. Lewis Carnie, Head of Programming for Radio 2, says: “Elvis’s music has an enduring appeal to Radio 2 listeners of all ages, so I’m thrilled that our friends at Graceland in Memphis are working with us on this event. What better way to pay tribute to the Elvis’ incredible legacy than to bring together the stars of today to perform his greatest and best loved hits. " Radio 2’s Elvis Forever concert follows the smash success of last year’s event, Thank You for the Music... A Celebration of the Music of Abba which featured Kylie Minogue, Jamie Cullum, Lulu, Chaka Khan and The Feeling, and a host of other stars performing their own take on some of Abba’s biggest hits, alongside original members Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. Further highlights of Radio 2's summer of live music will include Paolo Nutini playing live in his hometown of Paisley in August and Scissor Sisters performing live from London for Radio 2 in Concert later this year.

ELVIS PRESLEY - On Stage: Legacy Edition 2CD (RCA/Legacy)
Our 75th birthday celebration continues with this 2CD set celebrating Elvis' platinum-selling 1970 live album On Stage. Home to the hit single "The Wonder of You," On Stage has now been upgraded with new liner notes by Presley biographer Ken Sharp and rare photos from the peak of the artist's latter-day career. The original album's 10-song tracklist is now expanded with three rarely performed songs from the same Las Vegas engagement that produced the album: "Don't Cry Daddy", "Kentucky Rain" and "Long Tall Sally." The disc's final addition is a unique glimpse of Elvis working on his repertoire, as he runs through "The Wonder Of You" at an afternoon rehearsal, only hours before the original album recordings were done later that night.
The second disc in the On Stage: Legacy Edition package is a newly-remastered version of Elvis' first live album, In Person (originally released as one half of the From Memphis To Vegas - From Vegas to Memphis double album in November 1969). Six bonus tracks from the same August 1969 engagement during which the original album was recorded, are included. Like its partner On Stage, the album In Person has also been certified platinum by the RIAA.
This 2-CD set is a potent reminder that Elvis was enjoying one of many career peaks during these engagements in Las Vegas. During the August 1969 shows that yielded In Person, the artist prowled the stage like a panther and shocked audiences with his full-throttle intensity. Conceived similarly to his '68 Comeback Special, these tracks capture Elvis doing what he did best, but now with a full stage band and an hour-long setlist.
By the 1970 gigs that comprise On Stage, the artist now included songs of contemporary writers like John Fogerty ("Proud Mary"), Dion ("Runaway"), Joe South ("Walk a Mile In My Shoes"), Tony Joe White ("Polk Salad Annie") and even The Beatles ("Yesterday"). His choice in covers, alongside his own new material, signalled that Elvis no longer had to rely on his past, and that he was now as much a part of the contempary scene as anybody.

The British TV Channel BBC2 will start 2010 and the celebration of Elvis' 75th birthday in a great way. On January 2 and 3, the whole evening is filled with Elvis concerts and documentaries. The largest part of the broadcasts is already known by the die-hard fans, but it is great to see that the British national TV will spend two whole evenings on airing Elvis specials. On Sunday January 2 at 8pm, there will be a brand new docu that is produced by the BBC, called 'Elvis In Vegas'. The documentary is trying to find out how Elvis made it to Vegas.
