This Bonus CD "Tour Diary 1976" came with the
book "Bruce Jackson - On The Road With Elvis"
by Gary Jackson (Band Book Publishers, ISBN 0-646-99408-5).
The CD contains the
"First release of the entire 1976 TOUR DIARY compered by Jackie Kahane. This was a private TCB-member-only end-of- tour party.
Jackie creates the impression that Elvis will be joining them - for the first time ever - but it is Felton Jarvis who turns up instead,
dressed in one of Elvis's jumpsuits to the usual Elvis fanfare. Felton throws out scarves and does a brilliant job of imitating Elvis
and answering Jackie's questions in character. A raw, uncensored but totally respectful tribute from the cast and crew to their
much-loved boss - even Elvis's girlfriend was there and laughing her head off - but of course in the nature of roasts like this one,
everyone comes in for stinging comment and the language can be confronting at times but understandable in the amongst-friends context.
Remember this was forty years ago and many social attitudes from back then have now changed."
