Goin' To The Promised Land - Sun Studios - From  ultimateelvis
If you're heading to Memphis this August this look at SUN may just be of interest.
Set to Elvis and 'Baby, Let's Play House'  The Elvis 101 boys make a historical trip to where rock & roll was born.

Bill Black's Combo playing 'Yogi' (1961) -  From dardanella
A fabulous rare find featuring Bill Black's Combo (post leaving Elvis) playing their instrumental 'Yogi'.  Bill Black's combo made the Top Ten in 1959, while Elvis was in the army, with 'Smokie'. This track is from the 1961 film The Teenage Millionaire.

Scotty Moore with Raul Malo & The Mavericks 'I Told You So' -  From  shirleyu812
Following on from Bill Black here is some recent great footage of Scotty Moore from the Elvis Tribute "All The Kings Men". What a great song, very sweet indeed.
For another look at Scotty Moore also check out the fabulous DVD 'A Tribute To The King'

Elvis in new U2 video clip: U2's new single'Window in The Skies'. 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.

U2's private guided tour of Graceland - From  leschampkin
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!

"Elvis had he been a girl" by Dolly Parton - From  DPFAN11
A great story from Dolly, 'All Shook Up' and a wonderful impression. "He was the sexiest thing I had ever seen in my life"

Bob Dylan Elvis tribute - From  ELVISLAND
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.  From the lyrics...

" Went to see the gypsy,
Stayin' in a big hotel.
He smiled when he saw me coming,
And he said, "Well, well, well."
His room was dark and crowded,
Lights were low and dim. "

Little Sister' - (djf edit) - From smithersjones
The original single edited to TTWII footage. Fabulous - Elvis at his very best, more please!

'Paralyzed' (edit djf)  - From  smithersjones 
Fabulous photos and some great rare footage.

'One Night'  (edit djf) - From  smithersjones 
Nice edit of 68 Comeback footage with TTWII onstage material.

'Return to Sender' (Edit djf) - From  smithersjones 
Using great slow-mo to accentuate Elvis' cool shoulder & body action. A cool variation on the 'Girls, Girls, Girls' film clip. Once again from the DVD 'Elvis -1st, 2nd & 4ever'

'Kentucky Rain'  (edit djf) - From  smithersjones 
A simple photo-montage of Elvis in concert with some great 1969 shots to one of Elvis' loveliest songs.

'American Trilogy' (djf edit) - From  smithersjones
The recent FTD is An American Trilogy so we have added this essential clip. A fantastic Aloha video edit combining both shows and showing all the magnificence and power of American Trilogy. This is very clever and EPE should be doing the same for a 'Greatest Hits' DVD collection.

'Burning Love' (djf edit) - From smithersjones
Great edit of 1972/1973 action capturing the excitement of 'Burning Love' live.
I remember this song being played on TV in 1972 using boring Elvis publicity photographs. Why wasn't there a video clip like this to go with it then?

'My Boy' -  From  purelistener
Great photo montage capturing the emotional side of the song and the relevance to Lisa Marie. A compelling performance

Promised Land (edited djf) - From smithersjones
What a great edit for this song. RCA should have done something similar in 1974 when the single came out. I love this video. From the DVD 1st, 2nd & 4ever (see EIN review).

'Way Down'  (edit djf) - From smithersjones
Elvis' last #1 needed a good video to go with it. Here's a clever edit for it from Aloha. 

'Guitar Man' 1981 - from twangit45.
Interesting for being a clip for the 1981 Felton Jarvis 'Guitar Man' remix. A quality video with a painstaking edit to lip-sync the vision from the 68 TV Special.

'The Elvis Medley'  (djf edit) - From  smithersjones
Another great STAR video of multi-layered Elvis footage from his whole career.
A great intro that EPE could use in an 'Anthology' DVD. I hope EPE are checking out all of these videos and can release them officially one day in top DVD quality.

A Little Less Conversation - Extended remix - By malwebb
From the excellent 2005 DVD '1st, 2nd & 4Ever'

'In The Ghetto' (life-story version) - From  smithersjones
Similar to the touring 'Elvis In Concert' combining Elvis' life-story of his inspirational song. "Another little baby child is born, and his mama cries" 

'It's Now or Never' - (djf edit) - From smithersjones
Fabulous footage of Elvis' 1960 return to the US set to the original recording.
Great slo-mo vision showing off Elvis' magnificent hair as he headed to the Frank Sinatra TV show.
(With special thanks to Sanja Meegin)

'Danny Boy' - From  QueenDonut
A fabulous compile of rare Elvis footage through the years. Cleverly edited to Elvis' 'Danny Boy' this is guaranteed to bring a tear to the eye of most Elvis fans. Can 2007 really be the 30th anniversary? - it seems like just the other day... One of the most touching videos around - EIN thanks Andrew UKBrit for the lead.  

'Any Day Now' - From purelistener
Simple but effective photo-compilation of fine quality & rare pictures. Another seldom mentioned song even though it was the B-side of 'In the Ghetto'

'You'll Never Walk Alone' - from marcoviking.
A great message song with a photo-montage of some wonderful jumpsuit photos. And don't you love Elvis' 'casual' rainbow jacket. 

Elvis & Lisa Marie 'Don't Cry Daddy' duet - From kristinater2004
Enough to make anyone cry. Lisa Marie has to be praised for her courage. Can you imagine the emotion in recording this? If you have never seen this you are in for a real treat.

Elvis & Priscilla rare 1968 footage - From  thepresleyclan
From the 'Rare Footage Forum' a couple of minutes of great silent film of Elvis and Priscilla in LA.

I'll Remember You (edited djf) - From  smithersjones
This is very cute, the 1966 studio recording matched to Aloha video. Simple but effective idea.

'I've Lost You' - From  ademarbosa
A lovely photo-montage set to one of Elvis' best ballads. The live version from August 1970 & featuring some wonderful photos.
(With thanks to Rob V.)

A Day In The Life Of Elvis! - From  Jesse45408
Set to the fabulous 'Just Pretend' this is a poignant mix of Elvis from every era.
Starting with some sad 77 CBS TV footage it's a worthwhile & emotional journey.
"Just Pretend I didn't go"... - If only.

Taking You Home - From thepresleyclan
A great montage of rare photos & videos showing Elvis' life with Priscilla & Lisa Marie.  Set to Don Henley's song Taking You Home, it's a lovely, emotional clip.

'Love Me, Love The Life I Lead' - From  DUDDISC
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 .. .

'Do You Know Who I Am' - from Rob Ireland.
Something a little different with beautiful images of Ireland superimposed to Elvis' heartbreaking 1969 song. Great song, nice chill-out images.

 'Long Black Limousine' - From purelistener
Another very appropriate and touching tribute set to an essential Elvis 1969 classic. Features some fabulous rare and close-up photos.

'This Is Elvis'  The complete movie - From  PeterS197135
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, I Still Cry' - From  patricktcb
Sensational. A very moving tribute with beautiful images of Elvis, Lisa Marie and family. Guaranteed to make any fan feel tearful. To the song by Ilse De Lange.

The touching lyrics are as follows
I'm making flowers out of paper
While darkness takes the afternoon
I know that they won't last forever
But real ones fade away to soon

I still cry sometimes when I remember you
I still cry sometimes when I hear your name
I said goodbye and I know you're alright now
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry

Elvis Presley, Pieces Of His Life - By Josihno17
Chronological look through Elvis' life using a great mix of clips & rare 8 mm video. EPE should have released this themselves on 'Elvis By The Presleys'.

A Tribute to Elvis Presley - From DemolitionLover
A photo montage tribute to Elvis using Alannah Myles 'Black Velvet'. Nicely done with some delicious colour images. The celebrity quotes ex 'shakey film' is rather good. "He was and is the greatest. Enjoy" - says the creator!  -   From the lyrics to Black Velvet..
 
Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave
White lightning, bound to drive you wild.
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
'Love me tender' leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true.
... Black velvet if you please.

'If I Can Dream' White suit/Leather suit edit - From  elvispresley1
"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 rare footage of Elvis on June 26th at Indianapolis airport & 1976 candid Elvis motor bike footage.

Lisa Marie through the years - From  moodyblue77
Something different - a photo tribute to Lisa Marie set to her song 'Dirty Laundry'.

Old Friend (Bill Medley tribute) - From paulreno
Written by Righteous Brother Bill Medley this is a touching tribute to his friend Elvis. This photo-montage with videos are the perfect accompaniment. Features the touching lyrics. "God you were young, It doesn't seem fair. Would you be here, If I could have been there? A lonely pain, we refused to see, Old friend, you touched my heart today"

Cry Like Memphis - From  vipor0779
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 Has Left The Building' (J.D. Sumner) - From theking21083
A heartfelt tribute to Elvis recorded by J.D. Sumner. Cleverly edited to essential photos of Elvis' life. Listen to JD's extraordinary deep voice. "Elvis has left the building, but will always be around"

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

Elvis in The Fifties

'Heartbreak Hotel' (documentary) - From ep34240
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' (djf edit)- From smithersjones
While in a fifties mood this a great idea combining the Milton Berle TV footage to the classic single. While it doesn't have the controversial bump-&-grind ending the slow-mo hip action is sensational.

'Don't' (djf edit) From smithersjones
A fabulous selection of late 1950's photos of Elvis. Nicely edited to Elvis great 1957 #1 ballad 'Don't'

Elvis in the army - From Sonny TCB
A fabulous selection of Army photos, some wonderfully rare. Set to the sublime 'Soldier Boy' from the sensational 'Elvis Is Back!' LP.

'That's All Right' Live 1950s - (edited djf)  - From  smithersjones
Sensational fifties edit of Elvis live on stage to the 'That's All Right' single. The birth of 'Rock'n'Roll' - Elvis onstage doing what he does best!

'Shake, Rattle And Roll' (Extended EWJ 1956 version) - From  ELVISLAND
A clever edit featuring the full 'dirty' lyrics - "You're wearing those dresses, sun comes shining through."  Also extended to 4 minutes, courtesy of Elvis World Japan. Can you imagine the uproar if Elvis had performed this version on TV in 1956!

'Blue Suede Shoes' colour 1956 - From  smithersjones
The Hal Wallis movie try-out with lip-synced audio. Great to see Elvis' natural colour hair. A classic. 

'Paralyzed' (edit djf)  - From  smithersjones 
One of my favourite 50s songs. Fabulous photos and some great rare footage.

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

Baby, Let's Play House - From  GuitarGal44
We need more fifties Elvis here! The sensational 'Baby Let's Play House' from the 2nd Dorsey TV show.
Elvis is so young & jittery and how "in his face" is the camera!  

'Let Me' 1956 in colour - From  elvos77
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.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.

Great 1950's rare home footage of Elvis water-skiing, the Biloxi fishing trip, & playing with friends.

I'm A Roustabout - edited djf. Features some colourized Jailhouse Rock footage. See EIN's review of the excellent 2005 DVD '1st, 2nd & 4ever' which first featured this clip.

Elvis: Love Me - By Robbo42
Combining 1956 and 68 performances. Fabulous.

Elvis in 1955 "What's Going on?"  -  From  stevids
Clever video of early fifties Elvis to the original song 'What's Going On? This is 1955' Some fabulous early fifties footage and good to hear a new and original song about Elvis. Song by Rod & Steve Adams with vocal by Mandy.

Hear & see Elvis' original SUN #209! - From LynchburgSourMash
Wow this is a real oddity, but fun in an obtuse way!  What would you do if you owned a complete set of Elvis' 5 Sun issues? Well show them off & play them on YouTube! The voice in beginning is Elvis' early manager Bob Neal. 

Elvis 'clever' Movie Clips etc

'What's She Really Like' (djf edit) - From  smithersjones
A personal favourite from GI Blues but with added footage. 
I was always annoyed that the song was cut short in the film itself.

'Girl Happy' - From  DUDDISC
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.

'Baby, I Don't Care' (colour/edit) -   From  elvos77
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
Classic Blue Hawaii film clip but with that extra added slo-motion edit.
A slight but cute variation on the original.

'Tender Feeling' - From  elvisfanforever
More sixties Elvis. Rare photos of Priscilla plus footage of happier days for her & Elvis.
To the sweet tune 'Tender Feeling' from Kissin' Cousins..

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

'Return to Sender' (Edit djf) - From  smithersjones 
Using great slow-mo to accentuate Elvis' cool shoulder & body action.
A cool variation on the 'Girls, Girls, Girls' film clip. 
Once again from the DVD 'Elvis -1st, 2nd & 4ever'

'Viva Las Vegas' (Wildfire Remix) - From  DUDDISC
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.

Wonderful World' (The film clip) - From  lorerules
From the movie Roustabout, in 1964 the world may have been a nicer place to live.

'Home Is Where The Heart Is' - From  DUDDISC
I love this song from Kid Galahad. A beautiful clip combining the Kid Galahad performance with memories of Graceland.

'The King meets the King' - From  trevormeech
Very poor quality footage but interesting for showing Elvis meeting the King & Queen of Thailand
Available as part of the 'Inside G.I Blues' book.

'City By Night' -  From  lorerules
More sixties Elvis, straight from the movie Double Trouble Very cool, perfect for an Elvis 'Cool & Swinging' lounge compile CD.

'The Love Machine' - From  ElvisSpot
In September 1966 Elvis was filming 'Easy Come, Easy Go'
A dreadful movie. If you have never seen the film, here it is in under 3 minutes.
A delightfully funny piece of sixties Elvis fluff! (The clip, not the movie!)

"Holy Cow, I forgot the Bull"- From  nuclearhythmics
Less than 2 minutes of delightful silliness from 'Stay Away Joe'. Trying to escape his movie contracts, you know that even Elvis would laugh!
Luckily for Elvis (and us) the Comeback Special was only 7 months away.

'Charro' (cool edit) -   From  iamgman1
Fabulous clip edited to the title song. Makes a great promo for the film.
Check out how cool Elvis looks with beard & turned up collar.

'Charro' - From  GSCC
An underrated song combined with a great selection of film stills from 1968.

'Today, Tomorrow And Forever' with Ann-Margret. - From  Robbo42
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.

'This Is Elvis'  The complete movie - From  PeterS197135
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 Interviews etc

Elvis "Hy Gardner calling" 1956 - From  hakanelvis

Elvis' extended 'On Tour' interview - From teddy030571 
Ten minutes of Elvis chatting openly during the filming of On Tour. A great interview taken from the 'On Tour' bootleg DVD.

The Aloha announcement interview 1972 - From PeterS197135
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.

Ginger tells how Elvis asked to marry her. Linda is as honest & adorable as ever, "Where ever Elvis is now, he knows we truly loved him"
A fascinating 8 minutes.

Ginger Alden Interview 1977 - From August1977
Fascinating seeing this rare interview with Ginger Alden even if it is from poor quality VHS. Ginger was obviously way too young to be dealing with the situation. Also short excerpts with Charlie Hodge and Joe Esposito, who knowingly tries to cover up where Elvis really died. (With thanks to Sanja)

Linda Thompson at Graceland.  From thepresleyclan
Fascinating to see Linda Thompson walking around Graceland in 2006 (from NBC extra). Also a short Jerry Schilling interview.

Elvis' Jaycees Speech from January 1971 - From  PeterS197135
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

Vernon Presley's Funeral at Graceland - From  thepresleyclan
Fascinating rare footage I had not seen before.  From 26 June 1979, a news report and footage of Vernon's funeral at Graceland.

Elvis moved from Forest Hill Cemetery to Meditation Gardens- From  thepresleyclan
It seems we maybe feeling a little macabre this week. Here is rare footage of the day Elvis' casket was moved from Forest Hill to Graceland's Meditation Garden.
In case fans are not aware, on October 2nd 1977 both Elvis and his mother Gladys' coffins were moved from the original cemetery to where they now rest in the Meditation Garden.

Colonel Parker Interview in 1993 -  From tcbpep
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.
