"Elvis Presley in Concert" Returns for European Tour
4/14/2009
“Elvis Presley in Concert,”
the production that reunites Elvis’ former bandmates live on stage with
a video-projected Elvis, will tour Europe in February and March of
2010, it was announced today. After multiple, sold-out concert tours
and a hiatus of nearly two years, worldwide public demand is at an
all-time high for this Elvis concert experience.
This latest tour will include engagements in England, Ireland,
Scotland, Holland and other European countries to be announced soon.
Ticket sales for the engagements in England will begin April 21 at 3
p.m. GMT for Elvis Insiders, members of the official online fan community at Elvis.com/Insiders, and on April 24 at 3 p.m. GMT for the general public.
“Elvis Presley in Concert” is a production of SEG
Events, in association with Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. (EPE). It
is produced by Stig Edgren of SEG Events. Performers currently
scheduled to participate include: Joe Guercio, Elvis’
orchestra conductor for many of his Vegas performances; members of the
original TCB Band; Elvis’ backup singers The Imperials and The Sweet
Inspirations.
The show's concept is to present an authentic Elvis Presley concert.
The producers have edited together a collection of Elvis' finest
concert performances that exist on film and video and removed all sound
from the footage except for Elvis' vocal track. The Elvis footage is
projected on state-of-the-art video screens. On stage, singers and a
16-piece orchestra perform live in sync with Elvis on video. All music
heard in the concert production is performed live. Elvis concert
footage for the show comes primarily from the MGM concert films Elvis, That's The Way It Is (1970) and Elvis on Tour (1972); outtakes from these two films as seen in the video package entitled Elvis, The Lost Performances; and the historic 1973 global television special Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii, via Satellite. This footage contains some of Elvis' finest performances from the concert era of his career.
