Yes they were in May but belong to the third tour.....anyway hope they left them for another releasemr. blackwell wrote: August 1st, 2025, 3:28 pmThose are from May. I guess each volume covers one particular month.Ale wrote: August 1st, 2025, 2:55 pm I though Saginaw and Chicago would be included.....maybe FTD kept them for another release
The only one who has released a (nearly) complete show, from May, so far is Boxcar's ''The Final Curtain'' (2011).Speedway67 wrote: August 5th, 2025, 12:52 pm Is it possible that with Volume 3, this series is over, and there isn't a single more soundboard in Sony/FTD's possession? Not from May or June 1977?
If so, it's clear they'll be in the hands of collectors who don't want to share anything with others, and any chance of hearing it in the future will be lost, perhaps...
This will never happen.Speedway67 wrote: August 6th, 2025, 6:47 am I think that by now, many fans are older, and when we know that some people know exactly what's in the archives and what isn't, this secrecy, in my humble opinion, no longer makes sense.
We're all grown-ups now; if there aren't practically any of the legendary shows we all know, you can tell us.
I don't understand this strategy of not revealing anything at all.
I think FTD left the Saginaw and Chicago shows for another release...maybe to make this 77 series longer. I once read that the Chicago shows were recorded complete by request from the the Colonel....don't know it its true@KB wrote: August 6th, 2025, 5:46 am Given that I missed the Saginaw soundboard on Final Curtain box, I was really hoping that FTD will release it on The Final Tours vol. 3.
It is the only fully recorded concert (not sure if 100% complete) from the April/May tour, and in a decent sound too.
It is disappointing that this concert did not find its way on vol. 3 and I doubt that it will be on vol. 4 (if there will be vol. 4).
I assume that this concert is not in Sony’s vaults and for some reason FTD decided not to use the audio previously released on the bootleg (Final Curtain).
Pitty- although I will by vol. 3, I would rather buy (for the same price) a single cd with the Saginaw show.
Hope you’re not too disappointed.Johnny2523 wrote: July 29th, 2025, 3:04 pm Good to see you guys!
I am interested in finally hearing the last wonder of you in soundboard quality!

It’s just a shame that all the recordings released so far in the series do not have the first few songs recorded, although I guess the bonus, if you want to call it a bonus, is that we don’t have to listen to the boring ‘dive bomber’ routine on each show.
Yes, more desirable and that’s why I wrote "It’s just a shame that all the recordings released so far in the series do not have the first few songs recorded"mr. blackwell wrote: August 8th, 2025, 4:00 amFanFrom'61 wrote: August 8th, 2025, 1:51 am I’d be surprised if we don’t see a Volume 4 or even a Volume 5 in this series which could well end with FTD doing something with the CBS In Concert Special around the 50th anniversary in 2027.

Otherwise, you could always skip it. I think a complete show is more desirable than an incomplete one.
If you already own the Final Curtain Boxset, you should be able to compare yourself. If you haven’t, then you can check with the listing in this site.kkndenmark wrote: August 10th, 2025, 8:50 am Hello - my first post in this forum...
I got the two first volumes in this series - but is most of this vol.3 not included in "The Final Curtain"- box set? A quick glance of both made me think this. but anyway -I'll probably get this volume anyway
