Elvis: The Lost Performances

"Elvis: The Lost Performances" includes footage which was filmed for "Elvis: That's the Way It Is" (1970) and "Elvis on Tour" (1972) but was never used in those films. Included are clips of Presley singing such hits as "Teddy Bear," "Heartbreak Hotel," "All Shook Up" and more.
