Elvis In Concert is a posthumous 1977 television special starring Elvis Presley. It was Elvis' third and final TV special, following Elvis (a.k.a. The '68 Comeback Special) and Aloha From Hawaii. It was filmed during Presley's final tour in the cities of Omaha, Nebraska, on June 19, 1977, and Rapid City, South Dakota, on June 21, 1977. It was broadcast on CBS on October 3, 1977, two months after Presley's death. It was transmitted by the BBC in the United Kingdom on June 9, 1978.[1] Unlike the majority of Elvis' programs, it is unlikely to be commercially released on home video and is only available in bootleg form.[2][3] This is because it showed Elvis near the end of his life, when he was in poor health due to various hereditary ailments and over use of many prescribed medications. Much of his performance reflects his poor health.[2] However, his voice was always powerful and the Presley magic was still evident. Parts of the special were used in the video documentary Elvis: The Great Performances and the theatrical documentary This is Elvis, both of which were released on home video. Parts of the special were recreated for the movie Elvis, specifically Presley's performance of "Unchained Melody".
