Elvis At Kennedy Veterans Hospital
Also put on-line in Japan is footage of Elvis Presley at Kennedy Veterans Hospital from january 1957. It's just a few minutes and unfortunately there's no sound. It seems as if he's doing an interview (a microphone can be seen) and when he leaves the building, he stops for autographs.
Elvis: The Great Performances
The last footage is for the upcoming re-issue of the two-disc "Elvis: The Great Performances" DVD set features classic footage mined from TV shows and specials, films and home movies. It will be available everywhere on August 2, 2011.
