Elvis: That's The Way It Was is more than a film—it's a window into Elvis Presley's late-60s/early-70s live evolution. Shot during the legendary Summer Festival performances at the International Hotel in Las Vegas in August 1970, this production accompanied the studio album That’s the Way It Is and helped shape a new chapter in Elvis’s live sound, blending pop, country, and rock in a dynamic Vegas setting. The film has since evolved with re-edits and companion projects, including a 2001 special edition and the later documentary Elvis on Tour in 1972. In 2025, unseen footage from the film was incorporated into EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, premiering at TIFF and continuing to reach new audiences via IMAX and theatrical releases. We’ve got you covered with bios, discography highlights, and up-to-date touring information as Elvis continues to inspire fans around the world from Las Vegas to cities far and wide.
