EPiC Soundtrack

It looks like there will be a 27-track soundtrack album for 'EPiC: Elvis presley In Concert' that will hit the digital platforms late February 2026. I assume there will be a physical release too although no idea if it will contain same number of tracks.

Can't Help Falling In Love (EPiC Intro)
Also Sprach Zarathustra / An American Trilogy (EPiC Version - with Royal Philharmonic Orchestra)
That's All Right (EPiC Version)
Tiger Man (EPiC Version)
That Night Life Look (Elvis Presley and Jamieson Shaw)
Hound Dog (EPiC Version)
Polk Salad Annie (EPiC Version)
You've Lost That Loving Feeling (EPiC Version)
Little Sister / Get Back Medley (EPiC Version) -
Burning Love (EPiC Version - with Royal Philharmonic Orchestra)
Never Been To Spain (EPiC Version)
Love Me (Jamieson Shaw Remix - Elvis Presley and Jamieson Shaw)
I Can't Stop Loving You (EPiC Version)
Are You Lonesome Tonight? (EPiC Version)
Always On My Mind (Omer Fedi Remix - Elvis Presley and Omer Fedi)
How Great Thou Art (EPiC Version)
Oh Happy Day (EPiC Version)
A Big Hunk O' Love (EPiC Version)
Bridge Over Troubled Water (EPiC Version)
In the Ghetto (Jamieson Shaw Remix - Elvis Presley and Jamieson Shaw)
Walk A Mile In My Shoes (EPiC Version)
Suspicious Minds (EPiC Version)
Can't Help Falling In Love (EPiC Version)
Bring The Curtain Down (EPiC Outro)
A Change Of Reality (Do You Miss Me?) (Elvis Presley and Jamieson Shaw)
Don't Fly Away (PNAU Remix - Elvis Presley and PNAU)
American David (EPiC Version - Bono and Elliott Wheeler)

I assume that those categorised as the EPiC version will be remixed and perhaps with added sounds to give them a new kind of sound. Should be interesting.
`

Why does the artwork for the EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert soundtrack album remind me of this artwork.

This soundtrack is not for me, except perhaps 1–2 tracks.
The only song on the Elvis (2022) release I really enjoyed was “It’s Only Love,” as it,
in my opinion, sounded better than ever.

I've seen this all over the internet, but its not currently listed on Amazon, and with no official announcement, I have to wonder about the validity of this news.

what songs are these?

that night light look

A Change Of Reality (Do You Miss Me?) (Elvis Presley and Jamieson Shaw)


found this one

Don't Fly Away (PNAU Remix - Elvis Presley and PNAU)



this is horrid

I think "That Night Life Look" is supposed to be "Wearin' That Night Life Look," a mashup of "Night Life" and "Wearin' That Loved On Look."

Yeah well, I am really looking foreward to the film as it introduces new footage in pristine quality to the fanbase and Elvis as an iconic performer to new audiences. EPIC version means heavily redacted and overdubbed to create a more contemporary experience. In that light the soundtrack serves the purpose of attracking new (younger) audiences but I did not particularly like the song mash-ups on the soundtrack of Elvis (2022) and I probably will not be thrilled by this soundtrack either. I may get a vinyl release as soon as these hit the sales bin but it may end up on the shelves gathering dust, next to for example the 1980 Guitar Man album.

Re: the new mixes - I knew this would happen, and I understand that the producer's are trying to reach a broader demographic, but I still think its unnecessary.

The concept of the film is to present the Elvis In concert experience, and the footage was shot when Elvis was at the top of his game as a live performer. Consequently, the real magic of Elvis was surely captured on the original sound recordings which were made to accompany the footage, and we are not getting a true representation of the concert experience if collaborations with other artists, or even RPO mixes are being thrown into the mix.

As previously stated, I have no problem with the cut up visuals, but I don't subscribe to the idea that Elvis' music has to be 'modernised' in some way in order to appeal to a new or younger audience. Of course the more obvious remixes may feature in the background or as link tracks, and hopefully the rest of the 'EPiC mixes' will utilise the original audio elements. But if this isn't the case, the whole thing will be a major disappointment for me...

This looks like one dodgy-sounding, heavily-EDITED, modern day-mixed soundtrack compilation...it should compliment the actual movie-documentary-"tone poem"-whatever it is, for all the wrong reasons!!!

I'm 'impressed' already...for all the wrong reasons!!!

Well let's see. Maybe it is mixed like a complete concert.

I can only assume that Luhrmann will be responsible for remixing, remastering, and eventually releasing the footage of the 'complete' Hampton Roads concert...?

I can envisage it now:

Elvis Live - the complete Hampton Roads '72 concert...featuring the backing of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (on selected tracks)!!!

And the only completeness about this film release will be the completely EDITED concert in it's almost complete entirety!!!

I understand that you’re angry, but how long do you intend to stay that way?
Epic is made mainly for the general public, not only for the fans, so compromises
are something we just have to live with.
I’ve lived long enough that I’m not at all surprised by the strange choices that
are made during the production of a film like this.
If it weren’t for Baz, this film wouldn’t have been made at all. Whether we get
more depends on how it performs in cinemas, on DVD, Blu-ray, and streaming combined.
In the end, it all comes down to this project needing to make good money.
And that`s not up to all the fans but the general public.
To be honest i`m not 100% certain that it will.

Yeah, I know what you're saying KingElvis - thanks for your post. My angry cup runneth over.
I realise it all comes down to business and putting together the best possible creative choices for the modern age in order for it to make the money required.
I suppose I'll just have to bite my tongue until the end of February. You never know, I may really like it...

I'll shut up now, and wish you a Merry Christmas and look forward to watching "Roustabout" at 4pm this afternoon (UK time) on the Sky Arts channel!!

With the Get Back docuseries Disney streamed 9 hours of The Beatles creating, rehearsing and performing, and at no point did anyone think, this will sound better if we add contributions from PNAU, Jamieson Shaw, Omar Fedi or the RPO etc.

I understand the points you are making, but this approach - which suggests that the producer's don't have 100% confidence in the product they are trying to sell - seems to be exclusive to Elvis. That's the frustrating thing about this.

If anyone is not impressed by the original concert audio from the summer of 1970 or the spring of 1972, then unfortunately they just don't get it, and it's a real shame that the people that do have to settle for projects which are ultimately compromised by this approach.

I agree with all of those thoughts and I think that sums it up rather nicely. It’s almost like they simply do not believe that as big as Elvis is as an iconic artist, things have to be manipulated to buy the attention of the current generation. In around 8 weeks time, we will start to know how much of that manipulation has been applied and how effective it is.

I think Get Back was more like fan service and it was direct to streaming.
EPiC is a theatrical release and targeted at a wider audience. The remixing shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone given that the biopic also had its share of remixes. And the fact that EPiC is marketed as neither a documentary nor a concert film gives Luhrmann more freedom to do whatever he wants to do.

Get Back in its 8 hour viewing time was designed for streaming and certainly not for a cinema release, although by its very nature was targeted at any audience on a global basis. They could have done a 90 minute version for cinema release but then it would have become an alternate version of Let It Be. But even if they had done that, they still would not have played around with the music especially the rooftop sequence as it stands in its own strength without the need for any real manipulation.

I look forward to the soundtrack.
Like with his previous movie "ELVIS", the soundtrack was a movie thing, much like it was in the picture, i liked that, it was a nice alternative.
People who saw the movie expect to be the soundtrack to be sound like that, as they heard it.
I expect the new one will also be like that, no problems with that.
We still have the originals to go back too...

I guess the only consideration is that any of the newer generation who may get turned in by the film and its music, might end up being disappointed if they were to buy into any of the original ‘live’ albums from that period and then hear something different without the Luhrmann embellishments.
