EIN's Deleted Elvis Clips YouTube reference

March 2007 YouTube begins removing illegal Elvis footage: When EPE announced their plans to officially use YouTube to exploit the "Presley brand", EIN knew it wouldn't be long before illegal footage would start being removed. Removal of outakes and other footage commenced in January 2007.

EIN Update July 2 2007 - Another week of clampdowns from the Elvis Internet Police! Yet again there has been a high level of activity by the Elvis Internet Police with hundreds of clips removed. (See full articles at bottom of this page.)

EIN Update July 2 2007 - Another week of clampdowns from the Elvis Internet Police! Yet again there has been a high level of activity by the Elvis Internet Police with hundreds of clips removed (Noted above). Warner Bros have been playing spoil-sport to counteract footage from their up-coming movie re-releases. This seems strange as you would think that a cool YouTube clip is actually cheap publicity that would encourage fans to buy theofficial DVD! Similarly Warners remove the very popular 'Elvis On Tour' footage yet have no plans to release a special edition DVD that fans have been clamouring for since 2002. Disappointingly over six months since EPE started their 'Elvis Presley Central' it still features a paltry four clips. How on earth do EPE expect this to raise Elvis'profile and be a site "visited often by fans"? This week YouTube itself has also removed some of the best-known posters of Elvis clips, for instance Elvos77 and Robbo42 along with all their clips. (EIN News bulletin July 2nd 2007)

'Sweet Angeline' (splice) - From: reeltidymusic [July 2008 REMOVED]
A great idea combining footage from Elvis On Tour and various films.
This version creates the impression of a studio filmed sequence and is a splice of the backing track and the vocal dub.

A newly posted  good quality version of the classic American Idol video.
Study the long-shots & hand close-ups to spot Elvis body-double Ryan Pelton who was actually standing next to Celine Dion on stage. Still magnificent enough to make you cry.

'Blue Suede Shoes' 1968 -  From  stephenseriously [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
More 'Blue Suede' (see fifties version below) so as to compare what changes 12 years can bring!

'Such A Night' (with Kurt Russell!) - From  twangit45 [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
From the end credits of the movie "3000 Miles To Graceland".

Ok, so it's also my favourite Elvis track.

Gladys & Vernon at Graceland 1958 - From:  thepresleyclan[Xmas 2007 REMOVED]

Would you be here, If I could have been there?
A lonely pain, we refused to see,
Old friend, you touched my heart today"

U2's private guided tour of Graceland - From  leschampkin [October 2007 REMOVED]
This is fascinating showing 10 minutes of U2's private tour of Graceland. Unfortunately in black & white - but the tour with Bono asking the questions does reveal some fun secrets.
Bono loses a point for not knowing that the 'Moody Blue' LP was recorded in the Jungle Room!
(EIN thanks Sanja Meegin for the input)

Can you imagine the uproar if Elvis had performed this version on TV in 1956!

'You're The Boss' Elvis & Ann Margret - From:  shakyboy64 [August 2007 REMOVED]
An excellent idea and a very nice edit.
"When it comes down to love,
You're a horse!" 
     - did she really sing that!?

'Little Egypt' - From  DUDDISC [August 2007 REMOVED]
From Roustabout but using the studio version so without those dreadful 'koochy-coo' film overdubs.
A great idea worth viewing one more time! 

'Home Is Where The Heart Is' - From  DUDDISC [August 2007 REMOVED]
I love this song from Kid Galahad. (See EIN's FTD deluxe 'Kid Galahad' soundtrack review)
A beautiful clip combining the Kid Galahad performance with memories of Graceland.

Set to Elvis and 'Baby, Let's Play House'
The Elvis 101 boys make a historical trip to where rock & roll was born.

Bob Dylan Elvis tribute - From  ELVISLAND [August 2007 REMOVED]
Something a little different. This is for Elvis fans who can also appreciate the songwriting of Bob Dylan - as Elvis did himself!  
Bob Dylan wrote 'Went To See The Gypsy' after his first meeting with Elvis Presley.
Several references are made regarding Elvis' career in Las Vegas as well as Dylan's own childhood.

Elvis & Lisa Marie 'Don't Cry Daddy' duet - From kristinater2004 [August 2007 REMOVED]

Can you imagine the emotion in recording this?
If you have never seen this you are in for a real treat.

'Love Me, Love The Life I Lead' - From  DUDDISC [August 2007 REMOVED]
A very minor Elvis song that was never properly finished in the studio, but was eventually released as a filler on the 1973 'Fool' album.
With a clever selection of footage and close-ups this clip actually makes the song much more enjoyable.
You have to wonder what Elvis was really thinking of, or wishing for, in the back of his limo .. .

Elvis Tribute (Vince Gill) - From:  JamesDeanFan4Life [August 2007 REMOVED]
A touching tribute to Elvis set to Vince Gill's 'Go Rest High on That Mountain'

Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done"

Can you imagine the uproar if Elvis had performed this version on TV in 1956!

'You're The Boss' Elvis & Ann Margret - From:  shakyboy64 [August 2007 REMOVED]
An excellent idea and a very nice edit.
"When it comes down to love,
You're a horse!" 
     - did she really sing that!?

'Little Egypt' - From  DUDDISC [August 2007 REMOVED]
From Roustabout but using the studio version so without those dreadful 'koochy-coo' film overdubs.
A great idea worth viewing one more time! 

'Home Is Where The Heart Is' - From  DUDDISC [August 2007 REMOVED]
I love this song from Kid Galahad. (See EIN's FTD deluxe 'Kid Galahad' soundtrack review)
A beautiful clip combining the Kid Galahad performance with memories of Graceland.

The Aloha announcement interview 1972 - From PeterS197135 [August 2007 REMOVED]
Between his dinner and Closing Show in Vegas on Sept 4, 1972 Elvis gave an interview to announce the upcoming "Aloha From Hawaii".
There is no doubt that Elvis is somewhat spaced out, naturally or otherwise, by the whole scenario.

Elvis Aloha Interview by Tom Moffet - From  PeterS197135 [August 2007 REMOVED]
Elvis arrives January 9th, 1973, to prepare for his "Aloha From Hawaii" Concert.

See how much the displays have changed since then.
And click here for EIN's 2006 in-depth interview with Billy Smith.

'I Got A Woman' 1956 - From  DUDDISC [August 2007 REMOVED]
Let's not forget where Elvis' legendary status came from.

Elvis' Jaycees Speech from January 1971 - From  PeterS197135 [August 2007 REMOVED]
Elvis receives the award for being one of the ten outstanding young men in 1970. A clever edit from several documentary sources. It's amazing that Elvis admits to being so nervous when he would normally perform to such huge crow

Colonel Parker Interview in 1993 -  From tcbpep [August 2007 REMOVED]

A fascinating glimpse at Col Parker as interviewed by Inside Edition. The carny Colonel is challenged about his gambling debts,  Elvis not  appearing in 'A Star Is Born' etc. Of course EPE in the end did win the court case against The Colonel for exploiting Elvis. Sadly the interview is not complete.

 

'If I Can Dream' White suit/Leather suit edit - From  elvispresley1 [July 20 REMOVED]
"When I watch this video, I cannot help but think over and over again how much I love Elvis and miss him so much" - Charmaine.

'The Sound Of Your Cry' - From  purelistener [June 20 REMOVED]
Another clever photo-montage, while we are in the mood for classic introspective songs.

"Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye
Then I won't hear the sound of your cry"

'Burning Love II' ('72 rehearsal) - From  Robbo42 [June 20 REMOVED]
Sensational re-edit of the 'Burning Love' rehearsal from the "On Tour" sessions DVD.
Combining Elvis on stage intro with Studio rehearsal plus 1950's footage, this is fabulous.
He's a Hunka' Hunka' burnin' Love!
Watch it now before it is deleted. Won't last long!

Too Much Monkey Business/Long Lonely Highway - From ep34240 [June 20 REMOVED]
Five minutes of great home video clips (ex Elvis World Japan).
It's always good to see Elvis relaxing and having fun.

Tiger Man / New Gladiators Karate footage. - From  elvos77 [June 20 REMOVED]
Some great Karate footage from Elvis' 1974 film, along with 68 Special/TTWII material. From the 'Never Ending Love' DVD by STAR productions. Worth tracking down.

Combining 1956 and 68 performances. Fabulous.

A varied selection of clips, videos of Elvis at home, on stage some rare jumpsuit footage. Doesn't feature any Elvis song, just an instrumental.

A great story from Dolly, 'All Shook Up' and a wonderful impression.
"He was the sexiest thing I had ever seen in my life"

Elvis in new U2 video clip: U2's new single'Window in The Skies'. [June REMOVED]
SENSATIONAL clip using a ton of performers, Johnny Cash, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Sinatra etc etc plus Elvis in 1956 and the '68 Comeback Special, singing U2s new song.
Elvis in the 68 Special is towards the end & worth waiting for.

'Trouble' 1968 compile  - From:  Robbo42 [June 20 REMOVED]
Great 68 TV special edit of Elvis starting that rumble (all on his own).
The leather suit announced that the real Elvis was back!

'If I Can Dream' - Elvis & Celine Dion - From elvos77 [June 10 REMOVED]
A good quality version of the classic American Idol video.
Study the long-shots & hand close-ups to spot Elvis body-double Ryan Pelton who was actually standing next to Celine Dion on stage. 
Still magnificent enough to make you cry.
Elvis LIVES.  


 

BBC news report of Graceland after Elvis' death - From ep34240 [June 20 REMOVED]
A quality news report from the non sensationalising BBC.
From August 18th 1977

'Memories' (alt take) - From  elvos77  [June 20 REMOVED]
Using the alt take of Memories from the FTD 'Let Yourself Go' with a
cool montage of photos and clips.
'There's Only One Elvis' so true. - A very sweet compile.

' I Can't Stop Loving You' 1970/1972 - From:  elvos77 [June 20 REMOVED]
A cool slideshow combining the 1970 rehearsal with the 1972 'Lost Performances' live version.
Elvis would strangely perform this on his very last concert having not sung it in years.
(EIN thanks Rob V for the link)

'This Is Elvis'  The complete movie - From  PeterS197135 [June 20 REMOVED]
Divided into eleven parts you can watch 'This Is Elvis'. A classic movie that needs a proper 2007 DVD upgrade.
In the emotional first segment you can check out Graceland in its red decor from 1977 before Priscilla changed it back to the earlier white design that we see today.

Cry Like Memphis - From  vipor0779 [June 20 REMOVED]
While not by Elvis this song is a delightful tribute.
Taken from the DVD 'His Best Friend Remembers'
Sung by Erin Hay 'Cry Like Memphis' features some poignant lyrics.
Featuring the beautiful words...
Love Me Tender cuts through the dark
Coming from an open window of a passing car
And In that moment I believe
I can almost feel your body lying next to me
But one heart beating slowly brings me back around
I know you're gone and I know I'm breaking down .....

Elvis in his penthouse suite pre August 10th 1970 Opening Show - From  tcbpep [June 10 Now REMOVED]
A new edit of the TTWII footage shot in Elvis' hotel room before his August 1970 opening show.
More than featured in the movie this clip nicely catches the pre show tension.
A classic 6 minutes in private at the International Hotel....


'Heartbreak Hotel' (documentary) - From ep34240 [June 20 REMOVED]
A fascinating 40 minute BBC documentary about the creation & importance of 'Heartbreak Hotel'
From 'The Tales of Rock'n'Roll' if you have never seen the programme this is more essential Elvis viewing.

'Hound Dog' 56 - all 3 Ed Sullivan shows in one! - From  hakanelvis [June 20 REMOVED]
How fascinating to compare all 3 Ed Sullivan performances of Hound Dog.
A simple but effective idea.

'Let Me' 1956 in colour - From  elvos77 [June 20 REMOVED]
From the motion picture Love Me Tender.
What were Elvis' rock'n'roll moves doing in a civil war movie!? - Interesting for being quite a fun colourisation.

Elvis live in 1957/56 - From  ElvisPresley75 [June 20 REMOVED]
Another marvellous look at Elvis in the fifties.
This time using 'Always On My Mind' as the theme, this clip features a nice mix of fifties footage and photos.

Elvis: Love Me - By Robbo42 [June 20 REMOVED]
Combining 1956 and 68 performances. Fabulous.

'Viva Las Vegas' (Wildfire Remix) - From  DUDDISC [June 20 REMOVED]
Worth a look for the fun compile of Viva Las Vegas movie clips even if the "dance remix" is way too tacky for a dance-floor shaker such as myself.
Perhaps this helps explain the importance of getting Elvis' remixes 'funky & contemporary' so that they do go to Number 1 as opposed to just pumping out Elvis "tacky-disco." See what you think.

'Today, Tomorrow And Forever' with Ann-Margret. - From  Robbo42 [June 20 REMOVED]
I feel a lack of Elvis and Ann-Margret romance here on EIN's 'Best Of'!
This video cleverly combines the Elvis/Ann-Margret duet (from 'T,T &F' box-set) with some beautiful, luscious visuals from 'Viva las Vegas'. I doubt if Priscilla would approve but EPE should use this!
Look at the on-screen chemistry and YOU KNOW what they were doing off- screen.
A cute edit indeed. (Read EIN's Viva Las Vegas review here)

'Baby, I Don't Care' (color/edit) -   From  elvos77 [June 20 REMOVED]
Such a cool clip and interesting to see in colour.
Taken from the colourised Jailhouse Rock but overdubbed with the original recording.

'Rock-A-Hula Baby'  - From  smithersjones [June 20 REMOVED]
Classic Blue Hawaii film clip but with that extra added slo-motion edit.
A slight but cute variation on the original.
Another from the DVD 1st, 2nd & 4ever (see EIN review).

Wonderful World' (The film clip) - From  lorerules [June 20 REMOVED]
From the movie Roustabout, in 1964 the world may have been a nicer place to live.
"What a shame that it doesn't apply today!" - Rob V.

'Girl Happy' - From  DUDDISC [June 20 REMOVED]
Fun edit of the title song. Did Elvis really agree to appear in drag for such a poor movie?
No wonder Elvis seemed to be breaking out of jail in the 68 Comeback Special!
This one's for Nigel. Go here for EIN's in-depth FTD 'Girl Happy' soundtrack review

'City By Night' -  From  lorerules [June 20 REMOVED]
More sixties Elvis, straight from the movie Double Trouble
Nothing special about this clip except that it is one of my favourite overlooked Elvis songs.
Very cool, perfect for an Elvis 'Cool & Swinging' lounge compile CD.
Click here for EIN's 'Double Trouble' FTD review.

'This Is Elvis'  The complete movie - From  PeterS197135 [June 20 REMOVED]
Divided into eleven parts you can watch 'This Is Elvis'. A classic movie that needs a proper 2007 DVD upgrade.
In the emotional first segment you can check out Graceland in its red decor from 1977 before Priscilla changed it back to the earlier white design that we see today.

Elvis "Hy Gardner calling" 1956 - From  hakanelvis [June 20 REMOVED]

Elvis, "What did I miss about Memphis? .. Everything". With added biographical & imitator footage, but it is a clever edit. [Now REMOVED]

I Got A Woman 1956 - From  magneticsource22
More fifties. Elvis on his very first TV Dorsey Brothers, January 28th 1956.
Close camera work again and I love the pent-up ending! [Now REMOVED]

Extended rare 1970 Polk Salad Annie - posted by 'erhantitiz'
A so far officially unreleased version of 'Polk Salad Annie' with fabulously long intro. Elvis was sure having fun with this song that night -  11 Aug 1970 Dinner Show. As supplied from Elvis World Japan. Elvis looks so lean & lithe & laid-back - over 6 1/2 inutes of funk heaven. This needs both a CD and DVD release. See it now before it is banned. [Too late, Feb 10th Now REMOVED] (EIN thanks Andrew UKBrit for the suggestion)

'What Now My Love' (The Alternate Aloha) - From  n0izel3ss
"Take It On Baby" indeed & what an incredible power-ending. From the rehearsal show. 'To this day, no-one sings ballads like Elvis did', says UK Andrew [Now REMOVED]

Heartbreak Hotel 1970 (TTWII outtake)  - By elvos77 [Now REMOVED]
From the Aug 11th Dinner Show. Elvis has fun, the band messes up the intro, poor quality but worth watching.

Twenty Days & Twenty Nights - From coolerator2
A beautiful song that never made it into the film. From Aug 12th 1970 Diner Show demonstrating that a deluxe/expanded TTWII DVD needs an official release. [Now REMOVED]

Elvis At The World's Fair outtakes - By Borogirl1
Outtakes of Elvis when he filmed at The 1962 World's FairFor the full DVD go to www.fairvideo.com. Click here to see EIN's review of the full DVD. [Now REMOVED]

American Sound Studios, Memphis, Feb/March 1969 - By erhantitiz
Very interesting, but very poor quality candid footage. Watch out for Elvis' hero Roy Hamilton relaxing with Elvis at Chips Moman's legendary Studios. [Now REMOVED]

Elvis Presley - Burning Love - On Tour Outtakes - From  JustPretend
Edited from the 3 different sources using the audio of the 'On Tour Rehearsal' cd. Unique new videoclip. Go here for EIN's review of the 'On Tour Outtakes' DVD. [Now REMOVED]

Wink Martindale 'Dance Party' TV interview. June 1956 - From marinok
Elvis promotes his up-coming concert in the Memphis TV show interview from 1956. [Feb 10-Now REMOVED]


 

 

'Are You Lonesome/Bridge Over Troubled Water' - Aug 12th 1970 - From  PeterS197135 [July 20 REMOVED]
Unreleased TTWII camera footage from possibly Elvis' best-ever concert.
With amazingly close-up shots of Elvis, 6 minutes of heaven capturing both the fun and sincerity of Elvis at his very best.
Elvis LIVES.

'Twenty Days and Twenty Nights'- From:  elvispresley1  [July 20 REMOVED]
A beautiful live performance from 'Lost Performances' video.
Another song that should have been on the 'extended TTWII' DVD.

'Little Sister/Get Back' - From  monide [July 20 REMOVED]
More from Aug 12, 1970 MS a great TTWII outake with Elvis sitting down and playing his electric guitar.
Great to see Elvis getting funky and having fun. So why isn't it release officially?
This need to be in the DVD upgrade. Watch it now before it is deleted.

Steamroller Blues Live 1973 vs.1974 - From  PeterS197135 [July 20 REMOVED]
A clever idea combining Elvis singing 'Steamroller' from Aloha matched to the March 20th, 1974 Memphis concert recording. As the two version are at difefrnt tempos it must have been tricky to get the lip-sync correct.
Crank it up!

Elvis LIVE in Vegas August 1969  - From  tcbpep [June 20 REMOVED]
A fabulous 10 minute clip. There is very little footage of Elvis live in concert in 1969 so tcbpep has done a great job editing audio to the little footage that we have. Great to see Elvis working out in his early black karate suit, pre the white jumpsuits. It is hard to believe that the money-making Colonel didn't film any of these shows.

'Steamroller Blues' (Memphis 1974) - From:  elvos77 [June 20 REMOVED]
Another excellent edit combining the Aloha footage with the Memphis 1974 audio.
We already have a similar version in our Concert list but elvos 77 has worked very hard with the lip-sync on this one.
Cool song, great video.

How Great Thou Art (Elvis The Concert 2002 version) [June 20 REMOVED]
Elvis Live In Memphis 1974 audio combined with Elvis on Tour film. With The Stamps, Imperials & Sweet Inspirations. Magnificent.

A very moving re-edit of Elvis' 1977 performance from last CBS TV special.
Cleverly edited & very touching.

'You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' - Houston 1971 - From tomekkk79 [Now REMOVED]
A great clip from the superb 'Behind The Image 2' DVD with synchronised sound.
Some of the best quality 1971 footage around.
Check out the 'Behind The Image' DVDs if you want to see material like this in pristine quality.

'Patch It Up' - From  ELVISLAND [Now REMOVED]
More from EWJ's superb August 11th Opening Show release.
Elvis was so athletic & energy-packed. Check out his back-flip at the end, repeated from 2 camera angles.
Again this is what should be on the new expanded TTWII DVD. 
Another chance to see this clip before it is removed.
This concert was released on FTD's sensational 'One Night In Vegas'

'Polk Salad Annie' August 11th 1970 long intro version - From  ELVISLAND [Now REMOVED]
An all-time fantastic version that was previously removed by Warners but is now back on YouTube.
One of the very best, this is what should be added to the new expanded 'TTWII' DVD.
Originally from EWJ with a little fun enhancement from Elvisland.

'Don't Cry Daddy (Don't Cry Fatty)' /In The Ghetto' - from rizzy25. [Now REMOVED]
Elvis having fun and mucking around during the TTWII rehearsals.
It's amazing how seriously the musicians take it as Elvis messes about.
'In The Ghetto' even gets the intro "As the shit flies"!

'Stranger In The Crowd' (TTWII Live '70) - From  elvispresley1 [Now REMOVED]
"Bare with us" says Elvis. A great outtakes from TTWII Vegas 1970.
Elvis jokes, "It should be out in 1982".
C'mon Warners/MGM where is that expanded TTWII DVD?
Great song - Watch it now before it is deleted. Won't last long!

'Twenty Days and Twenty Nights' - From  elvos77 [Now REMOVED]
From 'Lost Performances' video, another song that should have been on the 'extended TTWII' DVD.
This one is for Carolyn. 

Elvis in concert in Los Angeles 1970. - From  Kety3798790 [Now REMOVED]
7 minutes of rare footage from EWJ of the 'I Got Lucky' and 'Long-fringe' suit in LA, November 1970.      
You should check out the 'Behind The Image' DVDs if you want to see material like this in pristine quality. 

Elvis Live in Long-Fringe Suit L.A, Nov 1970 - From  roddyl56 [Now REMOVED]
Great footage showing off Elvis' amazing long-fringe jumpsuit. When you see Elvis in action you realise that it was always going to get tangled up! You should check out the 'Behind The Image' DVDs if you want to see material like this in pristine quality.

Elvis Live in San Diego November 1970 - From kety3798790 [Now REMOVED]
5 minutes of fabulous Elvis in action 1970 from his second national tour since his Vegas renaissance.
Looking great in his 'I Got Lucky' jumpsuit. Watch out for a short clip of the very early 'How Great Thou Art'.
From Elvis World Japan.

Rare footage from Houston 1970 - From  ep34240 [Now REMOVED]
In February 1970 Elvis went back on tour beginning at the huge Houston Astrodome.
Elvis performed 6 concerts with an unbelievable attendance of over 207,000 people. 
Although without audio, it is still interesting to see the enormity of the event. 

'Are You Lonesome Tonight' 1972 - from rizzy25. [Now REMOVED]
From Hampton Colosseum April 9,1972 as featured in the video 'The Lost Performances'.
Elvis' most sincere performance of the often thrown-away classic.S
Just listen to the end and watch Elvis' ringed hands @ 2:25 -just brilliant!

Elvis in Hawaii November 72  - From  rdsprint [Now REMOVED]
These clips have been around for ages but here is a chance to see the version from the recent 'Hawaii 72' DVD. Interesting to see Elvis feeling far more laid-back than at the official Aloha, and looking very cool in his black 'Way Down' jump-suit.

'Bridge Over Troubled Water' (On Tour, Greensboro 1972) - From paediddy [Now REMOVED]
E Live in Greensboro in 1972. Beautiful suit, beautiful song. Check out JD Sumner looking on in wonder.

Can't Help Falling In Love - 1972- - From  paediddy [Now REMOVED]
"Take it on home baby" .. from Elvis On Tour.
Great footage of Elvis rushing off stage
A very suitable way to end this week's EIN look at the best of Elvis YouTube.

Elvis in his "Penguin" suit - Live 1975 -  From  ep34240 [Now REMOVED]
Some amazing home-video of Elvis performing in his very rare two-piece 'Penguin' suit.
Lots of bits & pieces but some crackin' TROUBLE and even a snatch of "Young & Beautiful'
His strange belt only accentuates his weight - and check out Elvis' flares!

'Such A Night' Live Dec 30, 1976 - From  thekingelvis [Now REMOVED]
From home-video footage from Atlanta 1976, one of Elvis' last great concerts.
Elvis' image is pretty blurry but it is close-up and is as good as you will find.
Great to see all the band and Elvis knowing that this was one great impromptu moment.

'Polk Salad Annie' 1976 Elvis splits his pants! - From rizzy25 [Now REMOVED]
Filmed on March 21 1976 at Cincinnati this was the first time Elvis wore his Bicentennial Jumpsuit.
In the middle of Polk Salad Annie Elvis ripped his pants and had to leave the stage to change jumpsuits.
Elvis plays the incident for the humorous moment it is.
Check out Elvis' face at 01.15 where it looks like he feels the rip!

Elvis In Concert 1977 - For the complete 1977 concert start here with Part 1 [Now REMOVED]
The sad & emotional 1977 CBS TV special. Hopefully EPE will re-edit this before it is officially released. Go here to our EIN spotlight for the debate on should the '1977 In Concert DVD' be released. Plus EIN's 'import' DVD review.

'Hurt' Live May 1977 - From  ep34240 [Now REMOVED]
Hurt live 1977 from May 2 in Chicago.
Poor focus home-video but watch it for Elvis' fabulous voice and the reprise plus brilliant backward's role, what a performer!
 
'Hurt' Live June 1977 - From  rizzy25  [Now REMOVED]
Interesting to compare Elvis' unused CBS filmed Omaha June 19th attempt with the May version above. What a difference a couple of months can make when you are not well.  Elvis rightly acknowledges "I need all the help I can get on this one!" - See EIN 'In Concert' DVD review.

'My Way' (Elvis By The Presleys) - From rizzy25 [Now REMOVED]
Another 'My Way' this time featuring some very dramatic and emotional vision.
The tearful, and very natural, Lisa-Marie footage will touch you.

'Trying To Get To You' 1977 - From  LEGENDSOFTHEROD [Now REMOVED]
From the Rapid City TV concert...
"A song I did about 18 years ago. My dad likes it and my girlfriend Ginger likes it".

You Tube Elvis news
EIN Update July 2 2007 - Another week of clampdowns from the Elvis Internet Police! Yet again there has been a high level of activity by the Elvis Internet Police with hundreds of clips removed (Noted above). Warner Bros have been playing spoil-sport to counteract footage from their up-coming movie re-releases. This seems strange as you would think that a cool YouTube clip is actually cheap publicity that would encourage fans to buy theofficial DVD! Similarly Warners remove the very popular 'Elvis On Tour' footage yet have no plans to release a special edition DVD that fans have been clamouring for since 2002. Disappointingly over six months since EPE started their 'Elvis Presley Central' it still features a paltry four clips. How on earth do EPE expect this to raise Elvis'profile and be a site "visited often by fans"? This week YouTube itself has also removed some of the best-known posters of Elvis clips, for instance Elvos77 and Robbo42 along with all their clips. (EIN News bulletin July 2nd 2007)

YouTube begins removing illegal Elvis footage: When EPE announced their plans to officially use YouTube to exploit the "Presley brand", EIN knew it wouldn't be long before illegal footage would start being removed. So far only the 'On Tour Outtakes' footage and 'That's The Way It Is' material has been removed. The notification says, "This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner Warner Bros Inc because its content was used without permission". Hopefully the positive result will be that Warners will see the enthusiasm Elvis fans have for this kind of material and they will finally release the long-awaited 'Elvis On Tour' DVD. 2007 has to be the key year to market these major releases. So far EPE has sadly only managed to post THREE videos at their 'Elvis Central'. See some removed clips noted above (EIN News bulletin Jan 21st 2007)
