When the movies of Elvis Presley began to be released onto the home video market starting in 1978, the demand for this product was unprecedented, as no other artist ever captivated an audience like Elvis. He starred in 31 feature films and 2 documentaries that were all released to cinema playhouses throughout the world during his lifetime. His 33rd motion picture, "Elvis On Tour", is a ground-breaking film experience that brilliantly captures Elvis' 15-city tour of America during the Spring of 1972. For the first (and only) time, we get to hear Elvis himself provide audio commentary. He also performs a fine assortment of songs that were a part of his stage act at this time. The film opens with Elvis' spoken dialogue, followed by a rousing rendition of "Johnny B. Goode". The use of multi-screen images provide a unique visual presentation that has several stunning shots of Elvis on stage. This multi-frame sequencing was supervised by Martin Scorsese. Also included are clips of his appearances on the Ed Sullivan show from 1956. One of his biggest hits, "Love Me Tender", is featured by utilising the soundtrack of a live performance of the song, accompanied by clips from several of his earlier MGM films. The footage of Elvis and his group in the recording studio laying down a take of the song "Seperate Ways" could be used as a stand-alone music video. One of the highlights has Elvis and his back-up group jamming together on Gospel numbers, including "Lead Me, Guide Me", "I, John" and "Bosom Of Abraham". And, his 1968 rendition of "Memories" is a fine way to close the film. Winner of the Golden Globe award for the Best Documentary of 1972, the DVD release of "Elvis On Tour" now makes his entire body of film-work available on DVD. Long live the King!Read full review
