Elvis Commemorative Collection - Elvis On Tour

Elvis - On Tour (VHS 1997) from Elvis Commemorative Collection

Elvis Presley 1972 Documentary

MGM presents a very different motion picture that captures all the excitement of ELVIS LIVE!

THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY
Celebrating the timeless music of the rock 'n' roll icon. This one night event on July 29, 2010 was in select movie theaters nationwide. It features much of the last film footage shot with Elvis as well as never-before-seen footage. More than 25 numbers spotlighting Elvis Presley's talent, range and showmanship fill this lively chronicle of his multi-city 1972 series of concerts. Plus montage sequences (supervised by Martin Scorsese) showcase Presley's early career in music and movies. The unique split-screen presentation conveys the whirlwind, "you-are-there" energy and performance thrills of Elvis on Tour.

The concert film reached #13 on the Variety National Box Office Survey. In general, documentaries were very rarely box office successes. However, despite costing upwards of $1.6 million to produce, most of which was Presley's $1 million fee, the film recouped its production costs after just three days in theaters.
As well as being a financial success, Elvis on Tour proved to also be a critical success by winning the 1972 Golden Globe Award for Best Documentary, making it the only Elvis film to win an award of any kind.
The 1997 VHS reissue was negatively criticized because of the lack of the multi-screen images that were present on all previously released VHS copies of the film.
