THE host of a UK concert series dedicated to one of music’s biggest stars has said it is “like being back on tour with Elvis.”
Jerry Schilling, who was one of Presley’s closest friends and colleagues, fronts The Very Best of Elvis In Concert Live on Screen, which comes to the OVO Hydro in Glasgow in October. Jerry was portrayed by Australian actor Luke Bracey in last year’s Oscar-nominated biopic of the King.The full-scale concert brings Elvis up close on screen as the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra performs some of his most well-known “rocking” songs and his tender, heart-wrenching ballads.
Organisers say it gives fans the chance to see their idol “live”, adding: “Elvis never toured the UK nor performed with a full-sized orchestra, which were two of his dreams, so these shows are a chance to honour the legacy of an icon who has defined popular culture for more than half a century.”Jerry will share personal stories and memories behind the historic moments in Elvis’ life.
“When I did it four years ago, I felt as though I was back on tour with Elvis, especially from the enthusiastic response from all the fans.”The collaboration between the music of Elvis and the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra has led to three huge-selling and critically acclaimed albums in which the original recordings of Elvis’s voice are married with new orchestral arrangements of his music.
