  • To die would be an awfully big adventure.
I can not believe my eyes. What is this?  :shock: I got a screenshot just incase it gets deleted. It's on 02's events page now. It doesn't say a tribute or an impersonator.

Is that their official site?  I just checked it and it's still there.  You would think they would word it differently if it was an impersonator or something else...wonder what's up with that.

Elvis Presley In Concert is an astounding production that reunites former Elvis band mates live on stage with a state of the art video-projected Elvis. In 2010, the concert returned for a tour through Europe.

In his lifetime, Elvis' only concerts outside the United States were five shows in three Canadian cities in 1957. A world tour was an unrequited dream for Elvis and his fans. Elvis fans, new audiences and even the most cynical of critics have been thoroughly wowed since 1998. Tours have included many American dates, highlighted by a three-show smash at New York's Radio City Music Hall. Outside the US, there have been several tours of Europe with sell-outs at London's famed Wembley Arena, and tours to Australia and Japan. In 1998, Elvis-The Concert was designated a Guiness World Record as the first live tour headlined by a performer who is no longer living.

The show's concept is to present an authentic as possible Elvis Presley concert. The producers edited together a collection of Elvis' finest concert performances that exist on film and video and removed virtually all sound from the footage except for Elvis' vocal. The Elvis footage is projected on a large video screen. On stage a 16-piece orchestra and some of Elvis' original bandmates from the concert era of his career and other cast members perform live with the Elvis video. All music heard in the concert production is performed live except for Elvis' voice. On either side of the Elvis performance screen are screens that carry live action from the stage. From the first song it's magic. You're at a real Elvis concert.
Today, people are accustomed to seeing giant video screens used in live concerts to bring the star closer to the audience. Elvis' recorded voice and his on-screen presence are so powerful, the interaction with the live musicians and singers so seamless, the audience reaction so intense that, a few songs into the show, one can almost forget that Elvis isn't really there in person. Everything in terms of staging, set design, lighting, sound, and overall production is as if Elvis were alive and back out on the road. The audience response to this concept has been overwhelming. Long-time Elvis fans who attended actual Elvis concerts say they feel that same original excitement and electricity. The fans who never got to see him perform, many of whom were born after Elvis' death, say it is a dream-come-true experience they thought had been lost to them forever. The production is so authentic and so well done that there are moments in the show when even Elvis' own bandmates and members of the production team almost think Elvis is really back in the building!

Elvis concert footage for the show comes primarily from material shot for the MGM concert films "Elvis, That's The Way It Is" (1970) and "Elvis on Tour" (1972) and from the historic 1973 global television special "Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii, via Satellite." This footage contains some of Elvis' finest performances from the big concert era of his career, the era that is celebrated by the Elvis Presley In Concert production. The other main criterion for selecting from these films is that they were originally recorded in multi-track. Thus, the producers are able to drop all sound from the footage, then return to the footage the isolated track that recorded only from Elvis' microphone in these exact concert performances. The 1970-1973 footage shows Elvis at the pinnacle of his superstardom, at the height of his powers as a concert performer, and in top form physically.

On August 16, 1997, marking the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the passing of Elvis Presley, Elvis Presley Enterprises presented Elvis in Concert '97 to a sell-out crowd at the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis, Tennessee. It featured a great gathering of many of the outstanding instrumentalists and vocalists who had worked on stage and in the recording studio with Elvis over the years. The late Elvis Presley, via video, starred in the show. His former band members and The Memphis Symphony Orchestra performed live. This production more or less became the prototype for Elvis-The Concert, a smaller-scaled production that has toured extensively since early 1998 and in 2006 was re-titled Elvis Presley In Concert. A major reunion concert on the scale of the 1997 show was called Elvis-The 25th Anniversary Concert, a sold-out smash at The Pyramid arena in Memphis on August 16, 2002. A similar major reunion production, Elvis: The 30th Anniversary Concert, was presented in Memphis on August 16, 2007.

Elvis Presley in Concert is a production of SEG Events, in association with Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. (EPE). It is produced by Stig Edgren of SEG Events.

Thank you for the info lilwendy. Still it is interesting they're doing it in 2012. So they're going to use some kind of hologram? It's interesting. Michael's hologram was going to be used somewhere else. I don't remember where but I remember something like that.

I think it was supposed to be for the CDS Shows

You don't see The Beatles in "Love," but Michael Jackson might be part of his own tribute show when Cirque du Soleil brings it to the Strip in late 2012.

Cirque officials say holograms or 3-D effects might have you ducking when the late superstar goes into that moonwalk or lets his gloved hand fly in the joint production announced Tuesday by Cirque and Jackson's estate.

"Technology is evolving at a very rapid pace. We hope that between now and 2012, when we open the show, technology will be even more sophisticated, that people will have the feeling Michael is onstage," said Cirque President Daniel Lamarre.

"We've been talking a lot ... about the fact that Michael Jackson was always ahead of his time. It's important with this show that we're going to be ahead of our time," Lamarre said. "We are talking to a lot of people that can bring new technologies to the table."

Because Jackson performed on an epic scale, "the expectations of the fans are so huge we will have no choice but to deliver. As much as a show like 'Ka' created a big wow, we would need in terms of technology to be able to deliver at that (level of) technological experience they're used to seeing with Michael Jackson."

A Jackson tribute had long been rumored as Cirque's next in Las Vegas. Lamarre said he and Jackson estate co-executor John Branca had a handshake deal in December.

But Tuesday's announcement did come with two surprises: It did not say which casino will host the new production, and it outlined plans for two separate products.

A touring arena show will pave the way for the permanent installation.

The tour will have its U.S. debut in Las Vegas in the late fall of 2011, perhaps after a shakedown run in Canada, and will be "more like a simulation of a Michael Jackson (concert)," Lamarre said.

It will tour North America for a year while Cirque readies the more theatrical and technologically complex permanent installation. Once that show opens, the touring version would move overseas -- and stay there.

"Michael is so popular outside the United States we think there is a potential for us to tour many years around the world with that show," Lamarre said.

Estate co-executor Branca said the tour probably would not incorporate ideas or material from the concerts Jackson planned to perform in London last year. Rehearsal footage was salvaged for the theatrical feature "This Is It."

"We think that stands on its own and we're looking to create something new here," Branca said.

Mandalay Bay has been the most-rumored location for the sit-down version. The timetable would give Disney's "The Lion King" at least another year to run. Disney representatives did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday.

Lamarre did say the new show would not replace an existing Cirque title such as "Criss Angel: Believe," "Zumanity" or "Ka."

"We're looking at two or three different (venue) possibilities that are going to be dictated by which one will suit better the technology that we're looking for and obviously the availability," he said. "We will have to do some major changes wherever we end up."

Jackson was a fan of Las Vegas entertainment and Cirque. Lamarre said the star toured the company's Montreal headquarters in 2004. "We'd been flirting off and on sporadically."

In 2008, comeback scenarios -- with and without Jackson as a performer -- centered around the Las Vegas Hilton because owner Colony Capital also rescued Jackson's California estate from foreclosure.

Tuesday's announcement said the partners also would pursue "special lifestyle projects" such as a nightclub or restaurant.

Branca did not dismiss previous reports of a museum attraction featuring items from Jackson's Neverland estate. "It's certainly a possibility," he said.

I do not believe Elvis will BAM after all of these years. It's just a hologram thing.

@MJhasSpoken

Thank you for the info. Yeah it was for the CDS shows.

I would love to see this type of concert in my country. I'm sick and tired of "Reggaeton"!  :)

We will have double BAM MICHAEL AND ELVIS.

I honestly think a double BAM would be ideal for Michael for a couple reasons. The people who are upset about it can't be as mad at Michael if Elvis returns as well.  Plus, for all the Elvis believers out there too. I've been saying, "Michael is alive" for almost 22 months as compared to some Elvis believers who've been saying "Elvis is alive" for over 33 years.  There will be millions and millions of fans all over the world (not just believers) for both MJ and Elvis that will be so overjoyed.  The feeling will literally fill everyone with the hope for unrealized dreams and inspire people, in my opinion.  And what a perfect time that would be for people to stand up and unite against all the fckd up sh*t in the world.
