EPIC: Elvis Presley in Concert (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Discover Elvis like never before with the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann’s EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. Executive produced by Baz Luhrmann, this collection features the showstopping performances featured in the film, including new mixes and fresh remixes of classic Elvis hits, along with two exclusive new tracks that blend and reimagine iconic Elvis performances, delivering bold, innovative interpretations that celebrate the King in an entirely new way.
While making his 2022 film ‘Elvis’, Luhrmann and his team uncovered a treasure trove of long-hidden film negatives and footage in the Warner Brothers vaults, originally captured for the documentary films Elvis: The Way It Is (chronicling his August 1970 residency in Las Vegas) and Elvis On Tour (shot throughout his 1972 concerts across the U.S.), as well as never before seen 8mm footage and never before heard audio of Elvis Presley speaking about his life. Luhrmann and his team spent years restoring this material, collaborating with Academy Award nominee Jonathan Redmond, Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post Production as well as many others. What was revealed apart from Presley’s iconic, one of a kind performance energy was the man behind the myth “totally at ease on stage, able to feel the true love of his fans and communicate himself with an intimacy and humanity, unlike any other artist,” as Luhrmann describes.
Coupled with remixes and medleys that blend, reimagine and interpret Presley in bold new directions, the resulting film and soundtrack are a testament to Elvis’ 1970s performances as “startlingly ahead of their time” (Variety) and “the singer at his most mesmerizing” (The Guardian).
