Searching for a real American idol? Well, look no further. Over the course of these three marvelous discs (totaling about 160 minutes and over 40 songs, including repeats), we are nearly overwhelmed by the charm, charisma, and sheer talent that made Elvis Presley so extraordinarily popular and influential. There are songs from television shows (emphasizing the mid-'50s appearances that helped cement his iconic status), concerts, and movies, along with interviews, some revealing (mostly silent) home movies, and photos galore. And by favoring the music Presley made in his earlier years, as well as by loading the discs with complete, uninterrupted performances, executive producer Andrew Solt and company show us how Presley combined country, gospel, and R&B to make rock & roll the most vital pop culture phenomenon of the past 50 years. This is the mother lode, and a must-have for longtime adherents and newcomers alike. DVD bonus options include a discography, a filmography, and "trivia tracks" on all discs.Read full review
I bought this set for my daughter for Christmas this year. She started watching the first one and before you know it my husband and I were watching,too. There was so much info. about Elvis . And the live performances were great! My husband and I grew up in the Elvis era, so , before you know it we were singing along and all having a great time! My daughter took the set to her boyfriends house . She put a dvd in and her boyfriend's dad asked his wife for a set for his birthday. We couldn't be more pleased . We would recommed this set to anyone that loves Elvis
Please view this superb 3 DVD documentary before you see ELVIS the movie to be released in June. I am sure this will compliment the movie.

This is a great look into the real Elvis Presley.It is as though you were right with Elvis as he moved through his personal and business life.It helps clarify rumors about why Elvis did the things he did and the deals that were made as he went to superstardom.Unfortunately,this set is out of print and the new release eliminates one of the discs,so it is incomplete.Maybe in the future the full version will be released.
great elvis music
