NXT Rockumentary Film Series: Elvis: That’s the Way It Is (1970)
Denis Sanders, 1h 32m
Like his 1968 comeback special, this record of the preparations for Elvis Presley’s first tour in 13 years is a tale of two Elvises. There’s the cocky country boy, whose studio performances with his crack band tap the primal energy of his best performances; and the stage entertainer, swaddled in foot-long fringe and buttressed by a small army of backing singers. (At one point, he jokes to the Vegas crowd that he’s filming a movie called “Elvis Loses His Excess.”) The 2001 recut strips away footage of fans to provide more of the King in his domain. - Rolling Stone
Co-presented with Next Chapter Records.
