Rocking Legends Moore, Clapton, Knopfler, Gilmour, Wyman, Wood, Gibbons, Lee and Many More Honour Elvis in a Spectacular Show at Abbey Road in London

BERLIN, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- In July 1954 in Memphis, Tennessee, guitarist Scotty Moore walked into the famed Sun Records studio with ELVIS to create what is now known as Rock and Roll. Elvis Presley, bass player Bill Black, and Producer/Sun Records Owner Sam Philips have all passed on, leaving Scotty to keep the music alive and to tell his story.

50 years later, in a year which will see more celebrations to mark the 50th Anniversary of Rock 'n' Roll, that music milestone should celebrate its immortality. Scotty re-created an unplugged session that Elvis decided to do in Europe after his famous TV comeback special. As we all now this dream was not to be.

December 2004 and London's famous Abbey Road Studios plays host to a stellar line-up of today's legendary rocking legends, for a very special one-off tribute concert for Scotty Moore in honour of The King of Rock'n'Roll.

While Eric Clapton rocked That's All Right Mama with Scotty, Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits invited Scotty for Blue Moon. Scotty's favorite Elvis tune was sung by David Gilmour when he did his Pink Floydized version of Don't. Rolling Stones past and present Bill Wyman And Ronnie Wood, Steve Gibbons, Mark Taylor, Albert Lee, Fairport Convention and many more agreed, Scotty Moore's guitar truly rocked the world.

Over two dozen Presley classics including 'Heartbreak Hotel', 'Shake, Rattle And Roll', 'All Shook Up' and 'Blue Suede Shoes' are captured in stunning HD for a TV music special and a DVD/CD release. Interviews with Scotty, Jerry Schilling, and the artists provide an outstanding documentary of music history: Bill Wyman talks about why the Rolling Stones decided not to go to Graceland to meet Elvis. Clapton explains how playing with Scotty Moore for the tribute was really a strange experience that gave him goose bumps.

This musical present to a worldwide and ageless fan community releases unknown secrets about the early days of Elvis and it highlights the important role his first guitarist and life-long friend Scotty Moore has for the world of Rock'n'Roll.
