Elvis Presley Questions?
I think he only appeared once or twice(performances outside the USA)? Is there any video footage of these performance(s)?
How many songs did he record(LP and/or CD)? Is there live performances of every song? What songs(if any) were never performed live?
Any Import Elvis Presley CDs that have song(s) that were never released in the USA?
I may have attended an Elvis Presley Concert in the late 1950s (Detroit's Olympia). Any video footage or anything special of this event? My dad can't remember if I went to this or if I stayed home with a babysitter(at the time I was B/W TV-4-Life).

His manager Col. Tom Parker went everywhere with him. Parker came to the US as a small child but never became a citizen. Parker feared if he left the US he wouldn't be allowed back in so he did not allow Elvis to leave US either.
Exterior shots of Elvis movies that take place outside the US used an Elvis double.

If you can pass between the U.S. and Canada and U.S territories without passport/visa then Parker could have accompanied him. I just remember reading about Parker's fear of not getting back in and not letting Elvis perform outside U.S. Parker wouldn't let Elvis go to Germany for filming of G.I. Blues so the exteriors were all long shots with a double.

After the 1950s he hardly ever did concerts.
Just find it strange that someone that popular didn't tour around the World.

Actually he did tour the U.S. quite heavily in the first half of the 70's. My parents used to take me with them whenever he would pass through town & we probably went 3-4 times just in that 5 year period. We stopped going after he got fat.
