Rare video of Elvis and the Attractions. High quality sound. From 1978's "Armed Forces".

EC and the boys doing their famous version of Nick Lowe's "(What's so funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding."

Notice that in some shots keyboardist Steve Nieve is 'playing' guitar. Guess they couldn't be bothered to bring a keyboard out to the jungle. Or a drum kit for that matter.

Anybody have a clue about where this was filmed? Looks like maybe Alaska: tall trees, totem poles, forest, seashore.

It was filmed in Vancouver, English Bay, and Stanley Park (totem poles).

awesome! i just discovered this video after having the thought, that the third word missing from the saying 'peace, love, *____*' should be understanding! what an awesome coincidence that it was the first suggestion that came from google after i started typing! i think this means that this phrase has some serious merit! after all it makes sense that peace would be the result of the practice of love and understanding (compassion).. rock on elvis!

Dear Jill. I hope your son has not had to play this song. If he had to, the thoughts of a stranger are w him. If not, I'd be glad. Your post touched my heart. You are very brave xo

Where is the Peace, Love and Understanding in the city by the sea, Baltimore?

I'm only guessing but I would say Vancouver BC. This was shot during the summer '78 concert tour. (I recognize the stage set-up as I had worked on his tours then) They have a rain forest near there. Jake Riviera (Mgr) tended to just bang out things such as this video while traveling.
