Some raw footage of Elvis and the band doing Lipstick Vogue at Boston's Orpheum Theatre on May 4, 1978. It's a single camera, with some great shots of Elvis' face in a trans-like gaze (as opposed to a grip-like vise), but also with some shots of his shoes.
He should do more frentic, distorted Punk stuff. It sounds way cool.

Americans also liked Queen much longer than the Brits. We never caught onto that Shakin' Stevens guy.

EC&the Attractions in 1978 = AS GOOD AS IT GETS. Wow, I love this footage. If an official DVD of their 1977-78 gigs is ever released, I will buy copies for everyone I know who loves rock and roll.
