My son Lee, the Elvis Presley fan in the family, insisted we see EPIC Elvis Presley in Concert, which opened in traditional movie theaters this weekend. It was not a traditional concert film that showed one concert, but provided clips from different concerts from Elvis's later years. There were also flashbacks from his earlier years. Interviews were also featured.
- There were several seconds of Elvis singing Dylan's "I Shall Be Released". I was not aware of this recording
- Elvis never did a concert outside North America
- Some of the footage was never shown before.
- There were only about 10 people in the audience. I guess people would rather stay home to watch movies.
On the way home, I turned the SiriusXM radio to Elvis Radio, where we heard director Baz Luhrmann interviewed.
