Rare Glimpse of Elvis Presley Backstage Before 1977 Concert

Elvis Presley’s final concert was held on June 26, 1977, in Indianapolis, Indiana, just two months before his untimely death on August 16, 1977. While there are many photos and videos of Elvis performing on stage, there are relatively few that offer a glimpse of what he was like backstage before a show.

One such rare glimpse is a short video clip that was filmed backstage before Elvis’ concert in Omaha, Nebraska on June 19, 1977. The clip shows Elvis sitting in a chair, surrounded by a small group of people, including his then-girlfriend Ginger Alden. Elvis appears relaxed and in good spirits, chatting and joking with the people around him.

The clip also shows Elvis practicing some of his martial arts moves, which he was known to do before performances to help him warm up and stay focused. At one point, he playfully pretends to kick one of the people in the group, eliciting laughter from everyone around him.

While the clip is only a few seconds long, it offers a rare glimpse into the more personal side of Elvis, showing him as a friendly and playful person who enjoyed spending time with those around him. It is a reminder of the impact that Elvis had on popular culture and the enduring legacy that he left behind.
