Presented without comment.


From Elvis: The Lost Performances (1992, MGM/UA Home Video, Turner Entertainment Co.):

“The performances you are about to see were rescued from discarded outtakes MGM had stored in an underground salt mine in Kansas.

“They were taken from two of Elvis’ live concert movies, ‘Elvis—That’s The Way It Is,’ and ‘Elvis On Tour,’ produced in 1970 and 1972, respectively.

“Also included in this program is a rehearsal that Elvis did on the MGM lot in 1970.

“None of these performances have ever been seen by the public except, of course, by those who were present when they happened.”


From Elvis: That’s The Way It Is – Special Edition (2001, Warner Home Video, Turner Entertainment Co.):

“In November 1970 MGM released the documentary film ‘Elvis: That’s The Way It Is,’ directed by Denis Sanders. It chronicled Elvis Presley as he returned to the live performances he had abandoned while making movies in Hollywood during the sixties.

“Most of the footage shot was unused in the final film and remained lost in studio vaults.

“Until Now.”


From EPiC: Elvis Presley In Concert Official Teaser (2025, NEON, Universal):

“In 1969, Elvis returned to the stage to begin a legendary residency in Las Vegas.

“For 40 years there have been rumors of lost footage.

“During the production of Baz Luhrmann’s ELVIS, it was found.

“This is more than a documentary.

“This is more than a concert film.

“This is Baz Luhrmann’s EPiC: Elvis Presley In Concert.”
