Product Description
Studio: Sony Music Release Date: 08/23/2005
Amazon.com essential video
Released in conjunction with a two-disc deluxe edition of Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii, the three-disc deluxe edition of Elvis's '68 Comeback Special is another incredible treasure trove of footage documenting a high point of the King's career and a milestone of televised musical performances. Taped and broadcast in 1968 after Elvis had seemingly abandoned live performing in favor of a movie career, the '68 Comeback Special was a remarkably intimate show, Elvis singing his old songs on a small stage, often alone, surrounded on all sides by a rapt audience. The show's numbers fall into three general categories: the black leather stand-up shows, in which Elvis performs solo on stage; the black leather sit-down shows, in which Elvis jams with former bandmates Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana and others; and big production numbers, often overdone and now looking as dated as any other 1960s variety show. In addition to the complete, uncut TV special (with the bordello number that was deemed too daring for TV), this DVD set includes both of the original stand-up shows and both of the original sit-down shows (the first was released mostly complete as One Night with You), and multiple takes of numerous production numbers. The numerous glitches and stumbles of the production numbers have limited replay value, but the complete stand-up and sit-down sessions are like gold for those who couldn't get enough of them during the 73-minute television special. Decades after the original telecast, Elvis has made another comeback. --David Horiuchi

 Elvis 68 comeback January 7, 2009
I've been looking for this DVD for a long time. In my opinion, he looked great and sounded great. This is the Elvis we all loved. Nobody wears black leather like he does!
ELVIS '68 Special January 6, 2009
This is a fantastic video of the special with Elvis Presley jamming with his friends for a studio audience. Although I do have a bad disc in the set which still needs to be replaced.
Elvis - The '68 Comeback Special December 7, 2008
I received this DVD set promptly and was delighted with the package and condition of the set. The quality of the recordings was excellent and enjoyed watching Elvis. The 68 Comeback Special was worth every cent and I highly recommend it to any Elvis fan.
Elvis at his best! July 28, 2008
This is a must have for any serious Elvis fan. You actually get to see how a program like this is put together, and of course Elvis is at his dynamic best! It's over seven hours of footage and I watched it all the way through in one sitting. It was spectacular.

This DVD is not worth getting. I'm a huge Elvis fan, but this was not what I was looking for. It's not the full "68 Comeback special. I watched it with my dad, and he saw the original and this isn't it. It's 3 DVD's total. The first DVD, is pretty good. It shows a lot of the special but not all of it. It also left out a lot of Elvis with his band on the stage with him, in his hot leather outfit. That's the best part of the show and they left most of it out. The second and third DVD in this collection, shows take after take of Elvis doing the same thing over and over. Elvis up close, Elvis from this angle, Elvis's hand up close strumming the guitar. Yeah, that's ok but that's not what I thought I was purchasing. I wanted the actual comeback special and you can totally skip the second and third DVD's because their not that good. Save your money, because this totally misrepresented what it actually is.
