It is amazing so little good footage exists of Elvis preforming on stage, it would be so much better if we could see all that is listed in the article below.

This information is from http://www.elvis-express.com/footage.html
The following is a list of professionally filmed footage that during researching the subject, I have found to exist in the vaults of EPE (from the original collection of Col Tom Parker) or in the hands of private collectors around the world.

This list has been compiled after years of searching and researching with the TV companies, Private Collectors and band members who remember TV or film cameras being present. Each of the listings have been confirmed to exist by at least 4 different sources.

This is not intended to be the ultimate information on this matter but simply a guide to let the fans know just what else is out there, waiting to be released.

The usual question pops its head....what are they waiting for.????

Would love to see some decent stuff from the later 70's...well all for that matter...but especially the latter....this does give us hope i guess (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/undecided.gif)

I saw several clips of Elvis performing at the Omni in Atlanta in 1973. WAGA tv in Atlanta showed them during a segment about the old Omni arena being demolished to make way for the new arena.

I couldn't agree more Jouni. [img]style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif[/img]

Why would a local tv station film a show? Wouldn't they have to have permission to do this? I can't see the Colonel or anyone else for that matter allowing this to happen unless of course they snuck in 8mm cameras. We have all read about the body guards taking away cameras from the fans in the audience and confiscating them. So, unless they had permission or had one hell of a camera system to zoom up to the stage I find it hard to believe the quality would be good. I'm not sure about all of the other concerts but there is a small clip of Elvis' final show from Indy that I have and the quality is absolutely awesome! If only the whole thing would be released. How can a person find out who owns this footage?

[Guest_The Batman_*]

I agree Matt I also cannot see Parker giving permission for anything unless there was money in it for him also, but would like to believe that there is plenty of footage still out there for us to come accross

Very interesting topic

Matt PLEASE can you post just 10 seconds of your absolutely awesome quality footage from Indianapolis
i m very curious and for one time it s not in the hands of friends or private hands

WOW Great to read all them posts even if i am a bit sceptical you can always dream i suppose.

(IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Having a little knowledge of the Television Industry, TV crews were allowed to film Elvis' concerts mainly as a way to have some footage to do a story. There is no telling how much is really out there. It was probably also in the contract of an Elvis show to allow some part of the conceert to be filmed.

As for private collectors of film and audio, I do not blame them for keeping the film, audio to themselves. In my opinion, some collectors would probably be willing to share what they have if Elvis estate would give them a fair price or a contract where royalties for say 50 years would go to the person or the family of the person. For example Little Mama being turned down by BMG, now some collectors probably do ask too much for what they have. If any private collectors do want to share, invest in a music industry lawyer most are in LA and NYC. Now the Elvis estate has known to be very greedy and not care about what the fans want. IE Otis Blackwell and I'm A Roustabout. It would not surprise me if they are digging through Charlie Hodge's belongings as I type. Just my thoughts

Here is a link to the video clip I was talking about earlier of the last show, it's only about 9 or 10 seconds but it gives us an idea what is out there somewhere

I recently dowloaded on BEARSHARE the complete and dubbed INDIANAPOLIS cocert, and it's different from the one i already had, different angles.
Try it and tell me if you succeeded.

[Guest_Big Boss Man_*]

I believe Bama is correct. I've seen many clips on local tv from concerts that were performed here in Atlanta, so obviously the tv stations did have access to grabbing some footage, although i doubt they filmed an entire show; that wouldn't be feasible for them to do so imo. (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Lets just hope some of these gems begin to surface! (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/LSHIC.gif)

Was this clip actually filmed by the news crew? Or is it film from the infamous "hotel" cameras that many fans claimed to have seen in the showroom?
