I just got this video from Elvis Imports DVDs. I didn't know that the nearly complete show is available. It is only missing most of Polk Salad Annie. How did this video come about? How was it found? It looks professionally done. It is a two dvd set. Over 3 hours worth of it.

I got it and I couldn't believe my eyes. It is nearly the complete show and the audio is amazing. Here is what I found on Elvis.com about Elvis In Concert 97.
The question ask was "Will there be a DVD release of Elvis Presley In Concert?"
The beginning of the answer was this.
"We tried to work it out to have a video/DVD release of the huge reunion show we did in Memphis for the twentieth anniversary Elvis Week in August 1997, the show that sort of became the production prototype for our touring show. We even went so far as to shoot/record an "archival" video in hopes of releasing it as well as capturing the event on tape for history's sake. The show was called Elvis in Concert '97. We couldn't make the video/DVD release happen. It was just too complicated and costly to get all the clearances from music publishers, Elvis footage owners and the performers, plus the audio portion of the recording did not turn out to be of satisfactory quality for a release."

The video I have must be that video they tried to release.
