Customer Reviews
Truly a classic
In hindsight, it's hard to believe that Elvis's "comeback" was so earthshattering and surprising. After years of middling movies and so-so movie hits, in a 3 year period from 69 to 72 he recorded a classic TV special, some of the greatest pop/RB songs ever recorded (Suspicious Minds, Burning Love, Kentucky Rain. In the Ghetto) then he became the #1 live act in the U.S. Considering what a part of the culture Elvis Presley is today, it's hard to believe that in the late 60's he was considered an middle of the road performer whose best days were well behind him. This movie captures that fantastic period when he developed the Elvis "jumpsuit" persona that was just one of his incarnations (the one impersonators ALWAYS mimic) but it also features the fantastic music that lives on today. Many consider his return to Vegas to be the beginning of the end of his greatness; true or not, this show captures the King at the peak of his ostenatious greatness.
