Story Synopsis:
Elvis On Tour chronicles life on the road with Elvis Presley during the 1970s. With unique back-stage footage and effective use of split-screen photography, this “rockumentary” catches a rare glimpse of the King, his legend and his explosive talent as a performer. With this unusual cinematography, you will become a witness, simultaneously, to the arrival of the King and his anxiously awaiting fans, his performances and their reactions, his departure and their hysteria. Winner of the 1972 Golden Globe for Best Documentary, this incredible 15-city, cross-country tour will provide any Elvis fan a behind-the-scenes look at studio rehearsals, touring and thrilling performances of “Love Me Tender,” “Burning Love,” and much more.
