A great program for collectors new and old. I see a lot of videos were people show Elvis records but don't go into much detail about them like Robert has and will do. I also enjoyed the video clips of the shows he organized for over thirty years. They were always exciting and fun to attend. Also a lot of hard work went into them. Thanks for all the wonderful memories of the good old days!
Hi Robert I just found your video. I'm a huge Elvis fan too. I can remember going to the drive in as a kid in the backseat with my brother and sister and watch a Elvis movie. I'm 56 and still collect Elvis today. Your video is so awesome. A person can never learn enough about the King of Rock and Roll.
A really nice show for the collector. Nice, no nonsense and positive. I've only been collecting Elvis vinyl records for 2 years and can learn a lot from this show. Keep up the good work!
Hello Bob and Carol, miss you both ,become friends for years, Great program for Elvis collectors please keep it up. Never forget the year you introduced me to Jerry Osborn and got to tour Memphis with him.Could write many Great memories You,Carol,and I have had. Miss your shows and You and Carol be safe. Also tell John Hello for me.Dennis
Hi Robert , wow , what a great channel you got here , thank you so much , im a huge Elvis fan and a collector, i truly love elvis , not just the great music, but the wonderful Human being he was, i LOVE vinyls records, collecting them since 1987, when it was the 10th ANNIV of his passing away.....When i saw on that video the footage of the records and memorabilia fair you did, i just wanted to jump inside the picture and buy so many things.....would be great to be in an ONLY ELVIS fair, its like a dream to me, as im living in Israel, we dont have things like that here , please keep doin those videos, :)
Enjoyed the Vid Bob , keep them coming . There were some great Shows over the years and I have the Artifacts to prove it LOL .... We probably never get those days back .Ian
Robert. love your video Collecting the king show start was 7 year old got 40 great hit come big elvis after now 58 year love elvis so much big elvis fan long live elvis presley forever.
Ohhh thats great 👍💖😊thank you for this video, im a huge Elvis fan and collector , wanna come to those great Elvis fairs and buy lots of items , by the way im from Israel, so hello to all Elvis fans 😊
Don't know if you remember, but you also wrote a Collecting the King column MANY years ago for our The King's Collectors Club newsletter. Good to see your first show.
I know what You mean about that SPECIAL Sentimental Elvis Item . Mine would have to be the 78 of THATS ALRIGHT MAMA , that I inherrited from from Parents in 1960. For Christmas in 1956 My Dad bought My Mom 6 Elvis 78s , one by one they ALL got broken except THATS ALL RIGHT MAMA which I still have .
@@collectingtheking I thought that too . It is very Special to Me even though I have Found a Better Condition Copy I Keep them Together and will never Part with it.
Looking forward to more videos from Robert Alaniz! I would love a show on Sun records. The different 45 and 78 rpm variations, how to know where they were pressed, how to see the difference between originals and later pressing and so on. Also love to hear you talk about "no dog", army label, Living Stereo 45s, Compact 33 singles, promo records and just about every rare Elvis vinyl record there is. What about getting Sean Shaver on the show? (Is he still around). I`ve heard talks about collectors (norwegians, as myself ) visiting a crazy big collector in USA, that has some of the most amazing Elvis 8 mm footage , and lots of it. I will not mention any name here, but I guess you know most of the big shots in USA. I would be very happy to see them on your show. What about Paul Dowling? Is he a guy you could get to your show? Keep up the good work!
Thank you Bob, you nailed it. Look forward to more of your video's...You really hit a home run when you said there are fans and there are collectors and there is a big difference. Thanks for mentioning Howard Dvorin...
OBSERVATIONS: hi its great to know yoou became a fan with the movie ROUSTABOUT this movie was very popular in the uk it was a no1 l.p too. Its claim to fame was mainly due to the WALL OF DEATH scenes which were very popular with the rockers of the time also of course elvis attire in the movie. It was the mods and rockers era.
Are you sure that Elvis wore the white "Dude" suit at the afternoon show of June 17, 1972? I know Joe Tunzi says that in his book, but piecing together eye-witness accounts from more than one person in attendance, plus an article written by Gary Hiland from Strictly Elvis #53, dated September 1972, clearly says the show with the white suit and paisley shirt was the evening show of June 17, 1972. The Powder Blue On Tour suit was worn for the afternoon show. To quote the article with 6 photos of the White Dude suit, "In this, the last of the three Chicago concerts, Elvis seemed to say, " You want rock? I'll show you how it's done!" And that he did."
Unless old age has completely kicked in and I'm losing my mind, it was at the matinee show that he wore the "White Dude" suit. I was told by friends of mine that went to the evening performance that he wore the powder blue suit that night. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)
@@collectingtheking I brought up this question on Francesc Lopez's Facebook Elvis In Concert group last year due to my friend who attended all 7 Chicago Stadium shows telling me the Tunzi book has it wrong about June 17th. I just wanted to get to the bottom of it. One of the comments was from a gentleman that only was able to get a ticket for the afternoon show, and he saw Elvis in the Powder Blue On Tour suit. This guy even confirmed that it was still daylight when he left the Stadium that day. So those 2 attendees recollections and the article from Strictly Elvis #53 by Gary Hiland saying the White Dude Suit was the evening show...that's all the evidence I have. Not trying to challenge anyone, but just want the record to be accurate for history's sake!
@@stamps77 - I understand wanting to get it right. So again, I gaurantee you that I attended the matinee show and he was wearing the white jacket, shirt and pants. Check out the picture at www.elvispresleymusic.com.au/pictures/1972-june-17.html.
Hi Jack. You are correct. I saw Elvis' matinee performance in 1972 at the Chicago Stadium. He wore a white jacket, shirt, and white pants. He wore a jumpsuit for the evening performance. The picture on the back of the reissue of "On Stage" may not be the exact same outfit, but it's close. A better picture of what he wore appears in Joe Tunzi's book "Elvis: Encore Performance IV - Back in the Windy City". When I was trying to think of an example of what he wore when I saw him, that photo from "On Stage" came to mind. Glad you liked the show.
@@collectingtheking Or you could have shown the back cover of the Moody Blue LP, it has a photo of him in the exact same outfit he wore in the Chicago 72 afternoon show.
Hello, Carol & Robert. Very nice video. Congratulations. By the way, I am from Brasil and I've been colleting Elvis items since my 9th anniversary back in the 70's. As soon as possible I'll be moving to Europe and I'll have to sell the biggest part of my collection. Can you please provide me some contacts (people who you think might be interested in it) and Mrs. Angie Marchese direct e-mail? Thanks a lot and cheers.
@@collectingtheking If you need any help, let me know. I have a sizable collection, almost all of the reference works, and am friends with one of the old time bootleggers. I'm always looking to increase my knowledge about Elvis bootlegs.
Good job on the show. It was amazing. Keep collecting Elvis records.
I enjoyed this and anything Elvis

My first Elvis album was the UK pressing of 'I got lucky' so that record will always be special for me.
Great show and a big fan of your channel.

Are you going to do any shows about bootlegs?
Yes. Some time in the fututre. Because there are so many, it may be limited, but we will discuss what we know about.
