| Description: | This video-original footage is exemplary of the early open reel to reel prosumer equipment of the time it was shot: grainy, edgy, shaky, and less than stable. The footage is raw & gritty in the truest sense. Not necessarily professional, but artistic. 26 min, black and white sound. "Study of crowd of mourners and interviews on the death of Elvis Presley." Recorded August 16-18, 1977 outside Graceland in Memphis. Grainy, verite-style video original (this is a 3/4 transfer from a Sony 1/2 inch original). Interviews and observations shot immediately after the death of The King. | |
