Fair play, my friend... assuming certain well known "Search Engines " weren't involved !!

The re-mastered DVD is out currently, with Bonus stuff and interviews with some of the performers... I bet tckets for that show were a hot item at the time !!

The TCB Band were Elvis Presley's Touring Band from 1969-1977, and formed the basis of Emmylou Harris's " Hot-Band " as well. Presley knew James Burton from his playing on Ricky Nelson's early hits " Hello Mary-Lou ", " Travellin' Man " etc, Glenn Hardin had played with " The Crickets " after Buddy Holly's death, Ronnie Tutt wowed Elvis at an audition, & Jerry Scheff, then into Jazz & R&B, only went to play at the Rehearsals at Burton's begging...
" I told my wife " I'm not going to do it, I just want to see what Elvis is like ".. within 40 minutes of rehearsing, he rang his wife " Get down here, Vivienne, you gotta see this guy.." He recalled later " Elvis blew me away with his talent, blew us both away !! "

No I know it well, have it on blue ray believe it or not - even though it's in black and white.

Due to having Elvis obsessed parents I can't even begin to count how many times I've met the TCB band. I think James Burton recognising me and remembering my name is my biggest claim to fame haha.

Hi there, nice to be with you, happy you could stick around.
Like to introduce "Legs" Larry Smith, drums,

And Vernon Dudley Bohay-Nowell, bass guitar,
And Neil Innes, piano,
Come in Rodney Slater on the saxophone,

Hi, Vivian Stanshall, trumpet.

Big hello to big John Wayne, xylophone,

With Garner "Ted" Armstrong on vocals,
Lord Snooty and his pals, tap dancing,
In the groove with Harold Wilson, violin,
And Franklin McCormack on harmonica.

Over there, Eric Clapton, ukulele.... Hi Eric!
On my left Sir Kenneth Clark, bass sax.... A great honour, sir.
And specially flown in for us, a session's gorilla on vox humana.
Nice to see Incredible Shrinking Man on euphonium,
Drop out with Peter Scott on duck call,
Hearing from you later Casanova, on horn,
Yeah! Digging General de Gaulle on accordion....
Really wild, General! Thank you, sir.
Roy Rogers on Trigger.

Tune in Wild Man of Borneo on bongos.
Count Basie Orchestra on triangle.... Thank you.
Great to hear the Rawlinsons on trombone,
Back from his recent operation, Dan Druff, harp.
And representing the flower people, Quasimodo on bells.

Wonderful to hear Brainiac on banjo,
We welcome Val Doonican as himself (Hullo there)
Very appealing, Max Jaffa.... Mmm, that's nice, Max!
What a team, Zebra Kid and Horace Batchelor on percussion,
And a great favourite, and a wonderful performer, of all of us here, J. Arthur Rank on gong....

In reality it just goes to show that idealism doesn't work, even though it's being promoted as possible in football, it assumes 'MAXXING EVERYTHING' is what makes up a recipe of ingredients.

In that sense, it's an interesting game to play as it exposes the myth of a particular notion of perfection.
