    Why is there a black and white version? And why do you want it?

    Not sure why there is but there is one version out there....I'm just one that likes to have all versions out there...something different I guess. The black and white version is from the original CBS Tapes..

    I dont see it much because I dont have it on DVD, but I listen to Spring Tours 77 a lot.
    "When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was a hero in the movie. So every dream that I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times. I learned very early in life that without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend; without a song. So I keep singing a song." - Elvis Presley

    I prefer Elvis in his prime.Watching Elvis In Concert is way too painful to watch.The last time I watched Elvis In Concert was about 4 or 5 yrs ago.
    The One and Only King of Rock'n'Roll.

    I've never seen the full version as I've never got my hands on a copy.Have seen bits of it on DVD/video's such as "This is Elvis" or "The great performances"(VHS)

    i watch it every few months or so,,,,actually once you get past the initial shock of his appearance, its a rather entertaining couple of shows, especially compared to the very reserved Aloha Special
