I've virtually given up hope of ever seeing the Pied Piper footage.
Interesting that this article confirms that Elvis was lip-syncing, though...

But no mention of him 'doing' Mystery Train.
From memory I'm sure I read that somewhere.

Well, we will never know for sure. Trying to remember someone's set list 60+ years later, especially when it's not your set list, in this case Pat Boone trying to remember Elvis', is probably not going to be accurate, or even anyone else who was there.
The thing is we will never know unless the footage is found. Otherwise we can only rely on people's memories, it's the only evidence we have.
Yes, i've read he did "Mystery Train". In fact i've read that he was filmed doing 5 of his Sun tracks but only one of them was used in the final edit of the movie, and that was apparently "Blue Moon Of Kentucky". Can't remember where I read all this but definitely read it somewhere.

His family put me in touch with who I was told was their legal representative and a friend of Bills, who's name I don't recall from memory, but who they said would be better able to help me with my questions.
So I put in the call and What came out of the call seemed interesting, Bill had made a short list of what was claimed to have been filmed, for the short - the list was said to contain the following 3 filming sections.
1. Footage of Bill's day to day Disc Jockey activities - no Elvis.
2. Brooklyn High - footage of the show with Elvis.
3. St Michael's hall - footage of the show with Elvis.
I was also given details of Cheque (check) stubs, detailing payments by Bill to members of the film crew and band members - I did not get details of the Elvis part on this, but I was further informed by the family representative that Bill stated he had lent his copy of the footage to a local TV station and that Bill went back many years later to try and recover the film, but was told it had been cut up for use and discarded, I believe it was mentioned just a couple of minutes were claimed to have been shown.

Thanks Kevan. Nice info.
What does it mean by "cut up for use and discarded"?

They cut the film up to show just a part of it then threw it away.

I am just wondering why he lend the original copy to a tv station and only after years (!!)tried to get it back from the TV station.
But ok, if it happened before elvis got famous..than it fits. Rumours had it that the colonel prevent further showing after elvis got famous.
Also I seem to remember that bill stated in the years before his death that he had a copy of that film (no mention of a lending to a TV station) ...i did read this.
Why should bill have claimed that he still had a copy?
