Elvis (S)

"I was fortunate to see Elvis Presley's last concert at Madison Square Garden in June 1972. Usually, you are not allowed to bring a camera to a concert, but the audience and the whole event were so crazy that no one loaned. I looked over the pictures over and over again, and then when the Viennale called me, I immediately thought about my Elvis material, the only problem was that I did not know what kind of musical soundtrack to use. I tried everything and was close to "I gave up when I heard the Viennese waltz on the radio. That was! What could be better, or more fun, than Elvis and Strauss? "(Jonas Mekas)
