Movie Reviews of Elvis: '68 Comeback
Movie Review: Elvis '68 - The real deal!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've heard about this legendary performance, but had never watched it before. I'm a huge music fan - but for some reason, had never dug deep into the Elvis catalogue. So, I though I owed it to myself to do it.
I wasn't disappointed! What a fantastic show - some production numbers, a great set where Elvis does some medley solo on a small centre stage (his band is on a side stage), and a fantastic mostly acoustic set that he plays intimately with 4 of his band mates. The performances are electifying, and the banter between musicians is great to listen to. Elvis' charism shines through.
Some of the music has a bit of a dated 60's feel to it - overblown horn sections in certain areas. But, it was the 60's! However, the performances are so good, that it doesn't distract.
Definitely a must have.
Movie Review: Elvis at his best
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been an Elvis fan since I was 9 years old and have seen everything that Elvis ever acted in, performed at or was interviewed by and this DVD was among the top of my list. His performance was none other than spectacular and he, himself, was in the best possible condition of his career. Not that Elvis could ever be anything but spectacular, but this one particular DVD was just the most electrifying and yet showed Elvis as a dear, gentle young man who had the world at his fingertips and after seeing his performance, had every girl's, woman's and even every grandma's heart in his hand. This DVD is a MUST for anyone who enjoys the music, the persona, the talent and the love of Elvis. If I could have only two DVD's of Elvis, this is definitly one of the two. Elvis at his best will positively steal your heart in a heartbeat!Movie Review: Elvis How He Should Be Remembered
Summary: 5 Stars
Only now, with the purchase of this DVD, watching Elvis perform to a small intimate, studio audience, ("Unplugged" way before the term was used in the 80's and 90's), do I actually get it....I really do. This man and his music is ELECTRIC...the performance is outstanding. I now understand my parents when they talk about the influence he had on them, and all teenagers at the time.
He looks and sounds great, he plays to his influences (gospel and blues), as well as the classic hits he was famous for, and he performs like a true professional.
I now realise what a great loss he was to the music world. Forget what he became in the 1970's just before he died...this is ELvis as he should, and I'm sure will, be remembered.
A fantastic set....Very Highly Recommended
Movie Review: Greatest performance EVER!!
Summary: 5 Stars
There is nothing ever recorded that comes close to the 68 Special. The delux version was a smash hit world wide, hitting #1 on the music dvd charts in several countries even though it was released at the same time as the Aloha delux dvd.
This single disc version is ideal for the casual music lover. This is vintage Elvis. Just when popular music was going all squeky and bubbly the KING gets back up on the stage and rock and roll is rejuvenated. Blue Suede Shoes, Jailhouse Rock, Heartbreak Hotel, Guitar Man, they're ll there. And of course, Trouble. The voice, the energy, the raw passion, its all there.
Buy this. You'll be glad you did.
Movie Review: Great DVD at a Great Price
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this DVD for a present for a die-hard Elvis fan for Christmas! The price was right and I didn't have to troll the malls looking for it.
My only complaint with Amazon is that for the second time since I have ordered something from them, I initially received someone else's order. Though I didn't have to do anything special to mail it back (Amazon provided a return label for me that I simply printed out), I was just a little worried that people are not paying attention when they pack customers' items! So because someone else received MY order, I had to wait a little longer for it to arrive.
