    I wonder what Sonny will have on it...I hope there's some unseen footage in those 2 hours!

    Thanks, for sharing Jen.

    Actually, I recently bought this DVD and it is basically a one man show where Sonny comes out in front of the audience and tells several stories about his time with Elvis.

    Personally, I thought it was very well done....there were some GREAT stories including one where Elvis tried to call a taxi cab, which is HILARIOUS!!!!

    Overall, I thought it was a very poignant DVD with some stories that I had never heard before. There is also a section where you see Sonny during a meet and greet after the show, along with quite a bit of backstage footage as he prepares for the show.

    While the DVD is a little pricey, I personally thought it was well worth it!

    TCB!

    I read his newest book. I still don't like him.

    I was going to say it makes good toilet paper but that's not strictly true because more s**t comes off the paper.

    I read that story in Jerry's book; reminds me of me on holidays when I'm slightly drunk, standing in the elevator and pushing the first floor button, while I'm already on the first floor...

    Yes, it is, Jerry covers that story in his book. Sonny was not with them that night, so I'm curious to see if this is a new story.
