Elvis on Tour

As far as Elvis Presley concert films go, Elvis on Tour is a film for Presley completists but that's about it as the King heads into the final years of his life.

The filmmaking was energetic and visually interesting to look at. Presley's performance was not.

Consummate showmanship...evidence of a huge pop idol and savvy showman with a finely tuned stage act. [Blu-ray]

He's still a dynamic performer but you can already see that he's packing on weight... and at times he seems to be simply falling into familiar rhythms.

The documentary is not all that original, inventive, or creative, and the singing is mostly routine.
