On August 2, 2011, Elvis Presley: The Great Performances will be re-released with over 2 hours of remastered video, new packaging and never-before-seen interviews with legendary artists such as Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins along with others who were close to the beloved and undisputed King of Rock ‘n Roll.  The 2 disc set includes classic performances spanning Elvis Presley’s entire career – from his first televised performance to a concert just weeks before his death on August 16, 1977.

Footage has been mined from television shows, films, personal home movies to provide a revealing look into Elvis Presley’s life both on and off stage.  One of the real highlights of this collection are the previously un-released bonus interviews with rock icons Lewis and Perkins, Sun Records head Sam Phillips, drummer D.J. Fontana, guitarist Scotty Moore, Jordanaires singer Gordon Stoker, and television host Milton Berle, on whose show Elvis  appeared twice in 1956.

The release of Elvis Presley: The Great Performances DVD Collection has been scheduled to coincide with Elvis Week 2011.  During one of the events that week the top five performances from Elvis Presley The Great Performances voted on by fans will be shown at The Orpheum theater!
