Elvis On Tour (Full Frame)

VHS, 92 minutes, MGM / UA

For Elvis Presley, the 1970s were a time of tremendous success. Named One of the Ten Outstanding Men of the Nation by the Jaycees, he also triumphantly returned to live performance, reaching a new level of superstardom. He had it all: at 36 he won the 1971 Bing Crosby Award (later renamed the Lifetime Achievement Award) from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences; he broke attendance records wherever he appeared in concert; and he took home his second Grammy Award (Best Inspirational Performance, "He Touched Me," 1972). It was a fitting - and exciting - time to capture a national tour on film. Winner of the 1972 Golden Globe for Best Documentary, "Elvis On Tour" electrifies as it displays the King in top form and all magic intact. Featuring dynamic rehearsal and "on the road" footage, the film captures the man behind the legend, providing a rare glimpse of personal and touching moments that reveal Elvis as never before. You'll witness the undisputed King of Rock 'n' Roll performing thrilling renditions of "Love Me Tender," "Burning Love" and more, all filmed during his incredible 1972 15-city cross-country tour.
