Well, I have heard about this documentary/concert film for awhile. And thought since it was re-mastered, it might be great, and Elvis in his hey-day in Vegas. Well, was I disappointed!!! First, the sound-quality is awful.!! I don't care if they say Dolby 5.1 or whatever, it's not clear at all. It's not the worst in the world, but when you want to hear Elvis's voice, you want CLEAR, this is just not enough for me. Second, they list some songs that say are sung in the film. Well, Elvis only partially sings these, in his studio.! I wanted "bridge over troubled waters", and only got a few lines in his studio no less.!! Also, The film quality is little grainy, It is not high quality. Also, Elvis is goofing off in almost every song he sings on stage.! I like Elvis when he is serious singing. But, there are some bright performances here. You do get to see Elvis move like crazy in some songs, which was a plus. You will also be appalled at how Elvis just goes around kissing women and girls and children right on the LIPS.!! He must kiss 50 of them in this film, Shoooo.! That left a bad taste in mouth for some reason. Buy this if you are a die-hard fan, Heck, it is worth watching at least once.!! I won't be watching this film again, It just doesn't have enough good things for me to comeback too. NOW, I do own 2 other Elvis DVD's and let me tell you, THEY are HIGH QUALITY and GREAT.!! My 1st recommendation is get "Elvis, Aloha in Hawaii" - This is a Live performance, and the picture quality and sound is Blu-Ray quality. TOP NOTCH.,! It is so good, and feels like your at the concert in person.!! 2nd Film - "Elvis - 1968 comeback special" - this is also high quality and great sound. Get both of those, and you should have more of Elvis at his best.Read full review
First time seeing Elvis on this concert. I see why my Mother ( and everyone else) loved him so much. Besides being a great singer,humanitarian, giving,kind person,his charisma is off the charts!dvd not o my shows concert but behind the scenes rehearsing,talking and joking around,not only beautiful,but with a great sense of humor. Like getting to know a person you never knew.

What a fantastic show! Whether you're old or young, if you like Elvis at all, you will love this. It's Elvis in his prime during his residency in Las Vegas. Plus lots of vintage Las Vegas scenes.

As a 16 yr old girl I was at his concert in 1970. My aunt and I were way up in the cheap seats but enjoyed every minute of the show. This DVD brought back wonderful memories with behind the scene interviews and some great personal glimpses into Elvis lifestyle even his nervous anticipation of the show.

Similar in premise to Get Back. Elvis and Co. prepare for his record breaking engagement at the Las Vegas International. You’ll keep watching it!

This shows the tremendous talent that Elvis continued to have throughout his career. Shows the interaction with the fans and the love that will always be there. Includes some never before seen backstage rehearsals which I feel should have been included originally but we can now enjoy them for many years. You can see the professionalism, the "ear" that Elvis always had when singing and what worked best. This is the ultimate performer. You can see the passion that Elvis had for music, the heart that he put into every part of his performances to make the audience feel as if he were singing only to them. You will watch this video and feel as if you were there, knowing the love Elvis had for music. If you are adding to or are a new fan get this one. You will see why Elvis is the greatest we will ever see.Read full review
The sterotype of "fat Elvis" in a jumpsuit playing Vegas is a myth that is dispelled by the chronicle of Elvis' return to the stage. While it is true that Elvis was certainly not at his best during his last years while touring the U.S., his first concerts after his successful 1968 TV special were some outstanding engagements in Vegas. Something about the place must have inspired him. He set a new bar for entertainers in 1969 at the International Hotel (now Las Vegas Hilton), and the 1970 shows, some of which are shown here, along with rehearsals, show Elvis in top form, perhaps at the best of his career. He not only completed the return that began inn 1968, he forged a new identity, showing that he had progressed since "Hound Dog." Most of his material from 1969 and later was a mix of Country and R&B, as it had been in the beginning, and he doesn't miss. While, later in the 70s, you hear more melancholy ballads from the King, in 1970 Elvis still rocks. Even the ballads are powerful, which probably led to a reliance on them later. It is hard to argue with the magnitude of his 50s achievements, but he was again at a peak from 1968 through the 1973 telecast, Aloha From Hawaii, via Sattelite. His performances were mixed after that, but those six years rival the 50s. TTWII is the best of this period, along with Elvis On Tour.Read full review
