Status of BMG's Elvis Lives! TV Special Release on DVD

Posted April 23, 2004

"Elvis Lives!" was a TV special BMG produced as part of its promotion of the CD ELV1S 30 #1 HITS. It first aired in November 2002 on NBC-TV and has had a number of airings on VH-1 since then. The special explored and celebrated Elvis's musical and cultural impact, using footage of Elvis and interviews with celebrities - most of them music stars across a broad range of ages and musical genres. A DVD release with expanded content was announced, but has not actually happened.

"Elvis Lives!" is not an EPE show. It's a BMG production, but it has our cooperation and support. We hope to hear good news from BMG sometime soon about a revised release date. We've seen samples of some of the expanded content for the DVD release and it's just great. There was so much that could not be conveyed in a one-hour (minus commercials) TV special. But, alas, the complexities of getting all the interviews, footage, music publishing, etc. cleared for the DVD release seem to be the hold-up.
