I’d love to own a copy of this - when it came out and it wasn’t cheap then, I couldn’t convince myself that I wanted to spend the money on something that covered the poorer aspects of his career, but now I wish I had and more-so for the book - FTD appear to be heading toward much of the music and I picked up a book/cd/dvd combo set that covers Elvis in Concert, but unfortunately, the book is about the size of a paperback. I’m now hoping that FTD do a Pal/David English book that covers the last tours.NinaFromCanadaEh wrote: October 3rd, 2025, 12:41 pm
The Final Curtain comprises of a 400 page jam packed book with 6 CD’S and 6 DVD’s with hours of unreleased footage and new complete soundboards all housed in a large and heavy beautiful box set.
The book is packed with more than a thousand pictures plus reviews, full text featuring all the tours and rare facts etc to create a 1977 book finally worthy of release. Printed on beautiful silk paper this hard-back edition is a must for any fan.
The 6 CD collection includes 3 new shows featuring the lost recorded performance of Orlando on February 15th, Saginaw’s May 3rd and Madison’s June 24th. Also included on the CD’s are highlighted show recordings from 1977 and has a new version of Elvis’ last show in Indianapolis, all of the audio materials contained in the box are taken from 1st generation copies of original Soundboard/RCA tapes.
EIN's Piers Beagley spent a few days indulging in this mammoth box-set and writing this in-depth review:

I wasn’t that impressed with this release and thankfully I didn’t buy it—only borrowed it. I also wish the producers
had added stereo sound to the original ’77 special video, as others have done with later releases.

From memory, it came out around 15 years ago so probably did not have the technology to produce a stereo version of the video.KingElvis wrote: October 4th, 2025, 6:56 am I wasn’t that impressed with this release and thankfully I didn’t buy it—only borrowed it. I also wish the producers

I’m pretty sure they did. I got a DVD around 20 years ago with the original TTWII movie (concert fottage) in stereo sound,FanFrom'61 wrote: October 4th, 2025, 7:36 amFrom memory, it came out around 15 years ago so probably did not have the technology to produce a stereo version of the video.KingElvis wrote: October 4th, 2025, 6:56 am I wasn’t that impressed with this release and thankfully I didn’t buy it—only borrowed it.

I was impressed with this and seeing 1977 was not just a steady decline for Elvis
it was expensive, but not as much as the complete masters 35 disc box set

TFC was released in early 2011 and I consider it to be the biggest, most badass bootleg out there. Audio highlights include the "lost" Orlando soundboard of February 15 and a complete soundboard recording of the June 24 show at Madison, WI. This release continues to stay relevant, as we (most likely) won't be seeing any of the audio on official releases.
John Michael Heath and Jamie Kelley of the EAP Society did a neat little unboxing a couple of years ago, and it's well worth watching:

I skipped this one and have not regretted. There are very few shows that hold my attention from 1977.
