An 8 year old girl with cancer wanted to meet Elvis. There were photo's, now here is unique footage from that meeting.
The footage starts close to the 5 minute mark.

This can also be found on many unofficial On Tour DVDs such as "Elvis - Lost On Tour 1972", "Elvis - The Complete On Tour Outtakes" or "Elvis On Tour 1972 - The Outtakes". It's also to be found on YouTube for some years:

"Elvis Australia - Official Elvis Presley Fanclub" has put together an article on this in 2018:
Elvis' Love For My Dying Child | 8-year-old Denise Sanchez 'On Tour' 1972

You can also found the Albuquerque Journal article about this event in our thread Elvis Concert-Related News and Reviews - posted by SpikeRamone.

It's really a very heartbreaking story, Denise died just 4 months later on August 26,1972. I'm not exactly sure why this scene wasn't used in the movie; maybe because of the tragic circumstances.
