Summary: Elvis On Tour
Comment: Hello to all Elvis Fans. I purchased this VHS and reviewed it i must say it was everything i thought it would be. I am so glad that i have this even though it's on VHS it is a great video and lots of great performances by Elvis. If you don't have this by all means get it before it goes away for good. I don't think this will ever be on DVD and if it is it may not be the same quality as it is on the VHS. Every Elvis collector should have this in your collection. To see all the cities and the excited fans waiting to see him in concert and for a time you forget that this is a video you are watching because you get caught up in the excitement of Elvis going on stage and 2001 Space Odessy is playing and you know he is about to appear. Buy it before it's to late to me it doesn't matter if it's on VHS i'm glad i purchased it for my collection before it no longer exist.

Summary: Elvis on Tour
Comment: We follow Elvis from city to city. He dons jumpsuits and gains weight. We see his increasing boredom. Elvis disintegrated after his divorce from Priscilla. Lyrics became morbid. Burning Love was the last big hit. His records were good until the end, but there was little recording the last two years. The film got the Golden Globe Award for Best Documentary. It is chaotic but worth it because it is candid Elvis. The quote from his father about guitar players not being worth a damn would not have come out a decade earlier. Elvis' songlist is filled with hits by other artists. His own Lawdy Miss Clawdy sounds as sexy today as it did in the beginning.

Summary: The greatest entertainer of all time in fine form.
Comment: Elvis in 1972 was still at the top of his game, lean and mean and energetic. In "Elvis on Tour" we get a fantastic snapshot at the King in top form; I only wish 1 - that it was available on DVD and 2- that some of the concerts with clips included in the movie were available on video in their entirety. Very highly recommended!

Summary: Elvis on Tour - the best
Comment: I ageee to the fact that this records so much of what Elvis really was and still is. And even though we could not help but to see his beautiful stage clothes and how great he wears them, and at times his sadness, a more focus on his voice should be considered instead. This is a great dvd and a must not only for Elvis fans but for anybody that likes good singing and music,all along he displayed a terrific and powerful voice plus the compliment of his backup singers and musicians did the rest for the total scenario. Without a doubt the best entertainer that set foot on a stage ever. A man that gave his voice and total soul on every performance.

Summary: Some technical data about this film
Comment: There is a very good reason for this film not living up to That the Way It Is. I am sure if you have seen this movie you have noticed that it is much more grainey and not as bright as TTWIS or other movies for that matter. This contributes a lot to the picture not being as well received. The fact of the matter is that MGM in it's infinite wisdom chose to shoot the movie in 16 mm not 35 mm as most all movies. This is a little known fact. But all you have to do is watch for many of the stage segments and you can see the photographers crawling around the various stages with a relatively small camera in hand. They may have done this for maneuverability sake but with significant loss in quality. 16 mm is a long way from 35 mm in all measuring points. This may also be why they have not put it out on DVD as yet. The movie is very grainy and this adds a subconscious negativity to the movie. I was present at many of the concerts that were filmed for this movie. The live shows were not grainy at all and they were very sharp and well lit and came across much better than the film.

Content of a movie is always affected by how it is presented. Long live the King
