Thank you Steve! This was a great interview! It’s always a pleasure to be able to hear from the people that were there when it happened. It’s getting harder, I’m sure, as everyone is getting older. Thanks again!
Ohhh Steve, what a phenomenal interview. Learned a lot about Elvis. Good for him sticking to his guns in Vegas that night. As far as why he didn’t go to the studio, who knows. It was 7 months before his death & perhaps he wasn’t feeling well. He hadn’t recorded for yrs in a studio and may have felt he couldn’t complete it. Thank goodness this man loved Elvis because someone else might have not gone to all that trouble with the tapes etc. What a good man and bless him for that. Love the story of the guy in Colorado protecting Elvis’s name. All around fabulous interview. Thanks so very much to the both of you. You’re right, it’s great to learn something new everyday and you work hard for Elvis fans to get the truth and the very best people to tell it. Thanks so much. 😊❤❤🎸🕺🏻🎤👍🏻🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
I agree, Steve does a fabulous job of keeping us informed on Elvis details. Thank you for your devotion to Elvis, Steve, and sharing it with other devoted fans.❤
Wow….who would have known what he went through to make those two songs……he is a genius indeed. Steve, you never cease to amaze me with the people you come up with to interview. Thanks for another great interview!
Very interesting discussion. There seems to be no bitterness in Brent Maher's recollection, which is somehow soothing. Him saying that "there's no reason for [him] to speculate" about why Elvis didn't make it to the studio just goes to show that as well as being a great artist and craftsman, he's also a great person. Thank you Steve!
Maybe Elvis wasn't feeling very well and had problems to leave his room. We must remember that his health problems weren't the best to deal with out and about. Enjoyed listening to this Steve, thanks!
Intetesting interview love hearing all the storys about elvis in recording i love the way down album and pledging my love great engineer glad he did it great interview
Great interview!!! Where's the tape of the opening show 69....we were lucky to see 2 shows Aug.16th DS and the 18th MS...wildest shows ever and never forgotten from the 30 shows i saw until 76!!!!.......keep up the great work!!! 🇨🇦🥰
I've been an Elvis fan since '57. There a saying " Idols with clay feet". No matter how much they are admired they too have their faults. Elvis was no exception. Those who deny this are blinded by the stars in their eyes. What Elvis did was rude and unforgivable. I'm reading a book "Elvis And The Memphis Mafia. It's the most definitive book I've read about Elvis. The boys don't diss Elvis, but give a realistic view of Elvis the human. My view so far is Elvis was very demanding. This is understandable as he was an only child who was doted on by his mother. It must be remembered that he was young when he found fame and had very little life experience. Elvis knew how to play people. These are not really faults. They are part of being human. This book has not changed my admiration of Elvis. If anything it's made him more human. I highly recommend this book. But read it with an open mind.
Really enjoyed listening to the interview Steve its always a pleasure to hear from people who were around at the time of events involving Elvis thankyou for your hard work TCB x

We do appreciate you Steve! Your knowledge is amazing , and there's always something new to learn isn't there?❤❤ I never get tired of learning new things concerning Elvis!❤❤ Thanks for all you do for us Steve!
@@Elvisultimatefanchannel thank you for the mention of a half dozen songs he might've recorded. on another channel, the guy who wrote "way down" explained how that happened. i loved the mention sly stone in association with elvis. i'm a big fan of his also.
Is there a youtube link for those songs? Cause there used to be something that showed songs he wanted to do and it showed versions done by other singers before he was going to.
It would have been Amazing Graceful ly and fulfilling recording session and Moody Blue album could of had All brand new song s of 10to 15 songs in my opinion and 2 brand new album s = 3 brand new album s in 1977
If Elvis Presley was in the studio in 1977 at Creative Workshop he probably would have recorded a 7 handfulls of Olivia Newton John's song besides Let me be there cuz that's my opinion
Great interview but only thing I don't belive is elvis going to threatened to leave on opening night because of the union thing and mix yes I know elvis love Bill porter wanted him and nobody changlege elvis and sure he went through parker so I don't belive elvis did that😊
Great interview, but Brent did not see Sly Stallone at opening night in 1969 as this was many many years before Sly Stallone was famous with Rocky in 1976. So he misremembers.
Ok ... very serious ment questions: 1) Who is Sly Stone? 1969? (You or who else can´t mean Sylvester Stallone ...?) 2) You are telling "us" here: Way Down and Pledging My Love was7is spliced?????????????? Elvis did many songs as Way Down and as Pledging My Love in several Graceland-Jungle Room-session ... all these songs are made in takes .... and we have these takes ... and what are you telling "us" here? The interview-partner mixed these two songs with several parts to 2 cut songs????????????? Mhm ...... please tell this in understandable words here as a comment. Thankyouthankyouverymuch! ♥ ELVIS PRESLEY - THE MASTER OF THE UNVIVERSE! (And the 1969 (same as the following seasons - twice a year ) were 2times per day - 2 shows per day --- FULLY SOLD OUT! NOBODY COULD JOIN IN AND OUT DURING CASINO-GAMBLING-SESSIONS!
I think he's talking about Sly Stone from the group Sly and the family Stone who were red hot between 68-73. ......it's definitely not Sylvester Stallone that he's talking about during Elvis' Vegas Comeback .
The sessions were aborted because of Elvis’ relationship with Gingerbread. And Elvis recorded Way Down and Pledging My Love all the way thru. Not sure why Brent would mention “editing” of the 2 tracks, but it’s inaccurate.
@@FrankieLovesElvis i can't dislike a guy who has the cover of "elvis' golden records" as his you tube channel icon but ginger was the king's girlfriend, the king's fiance-not yours or mine. if she stepped on YOUR blue suede shoes or did YOU wrong in some way...have at her. i haven't seen anything from her in nearly 46 years that slanders elvis aron presley.

Great interview Steve very informative !❤
Loved listening to this interview he spoke so highly of E , wish Elvis had recorded Lean On Me,it would have been amazing ❤️🤩
I like be there in 1977 for hear the songs recorded!😊
That was awesome. There will come a time when there are no people left who worked with Elvis/hung out with Elvis so this was good to listen to.

Great interview Steve. Can you write out the songs he would have attempted to record please?
That's what you do to me

Rainy night in Georgia

Let me on
Yes I do

LEAN ON ME
NOT LET ME ON
@@HelloooThere the bill withers song? holy cow!
Is there a youtube link for those songs? Cause there used to be something that showed songs he wanted to do and it showed versions done by other singers before he was going to.
Loved the intetview,so way down and pledging my love were not actually completed in the jungle room recording sessions?did i hear that right?
Yep...you did...we learned something didn't we?
@@Elvisultimatefanchannel what an amazing job that was done on those two great songs
It would have been Amazing Graceful ly and fulfilling recording session and Moody Blue album could of had All brand new song s of 10to 15 songs in my opinion and 2 brand new album s = 3 brand new album s in 1977
Btent is a genius! I love those tracks!
I heard Bowie was going to produce Elvis. They should have just done rhythm tracks instead of nothing for two days.
Aah, was hoping you would ask if Bill Porter actually recorded the opening show in '69.
I'll ask
@@Elvisultimatefanchannel Good man!
Great question!
Brent says Bill did record the opening show 31st July 1969
Thanks for the update. I wonder if Porter's family still have the tape/s.
Ginger said it was a sore throat that didn't get better cause they had just come back from Palm Springs where the air is drier than in Nashville.
😎👍🏻

Well,Brent was there,we weren't 🙂
Are you of Irish descent Mr Maher ?
😊😊
Did you do a Sly search? Hint :
Funk music. ...
Really wish this would have happened..?
Great interview, but Brent did not see Sly Stallone at opening night in 1969 as this was many many years before Sly Stallone was famous with Rocky in 1976. So he misremembers.
Sly stone not stallone.
@@haro82 Sly Stallone is Sylvester Stallone. Sly is his nickname.
@@haro82 Sorry, you are correct 👍 My fault!
Sly and the family Stone.

That link takes you to a Paul McCartney video
There are no veiled considerations Annie
And as for posing as a fan,you obviously don't know me very well and you have assumed incorrectly
Elvis was busy trying to find out what he would do for a Klondike bar(s)
