Elvis Presley 'The '68 Comeback Special' is a newly remastered companion DVD to 'Elvis All-Star Tribute', NBC's upcoming star-studded special, celebrating The King of Rock 'N' Roll's unforgettable 1968 television special. In 1985, HBO broadcast the first sit-down session of the show under the title Elvis: One Night with You. Sony will celebrate Elvis Presley‘s ’68 Comeback Special will a seven-disc super deluxe edition box set, due to be issued at the end of November.

It included a bordello scene that was originally approved by the censors but had been removed at the request of the Singer Corporation to avoid controversy.However, by the day of the show, Parker had not distributed the tickets, and only a few people were in line to see the taping.

Combo Deal | Elvis: '68 Special Edition DVD + The Alternate '68 Comeback Special DVD + I'm Saved DVD. The album features 15 Elvis performances from the 'stand-up' and 'sit-down' shows filmed for the '68 broadcast, plus three original studio recordings to represent songs that appear in the new special. I. Show, Hullabaloo) has seen a different side of the performer during preparations for his debut television special: a driven, passionate artist anxious to emerge from a comfort cocoon and recapture his artistic integrity left behind a half-decade earlier. In the United States, the song peaked at number 50 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart, the first hit for Presley since 1981, and extended his list of charted singles into the 21st century.Mostly complete but oftentimes lacking in quality (multi-generational sources; lack of proper re-mastering), many longtime faithful wondered if this legendary treasure chest of musical history would ever have an official release. Binder and Howe developed the concept of the informal section of the show after seeing Presley interacting with his entourage while playing music during breaks. It will also showcase rare footage and interviews with Pricilla Presley and Steve Binder, the director of the original special, plus a special appearance from Lisa Marie Presley. Originally conceived as a generic Christmas variety hour filled with fake snow, gift-hungry kids, and holiday standards until Presley took creative rein, the end result is a perfect blending of white hot performances and exciting production numbers that re-cast his classic hits in a modern, vibrant light. Having received a “meticulously remastered sound and picture” - according to the informative bundled booklet - I had high hopes that we would be seeing Elvis as sharply defined as never before.

When it aired on December 3, 1968, the special was the week's highest-viewed television program, re-establishing Elvis as a driving force in popular music.But there's more hilarity than huff including what may be the first recorded example of 'wardrobe malfunction' and an inspired practical joke courtesy of the production crew. track leaks Elvis' voice to the rear speakers and during these clips I preferred switching to stereo. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11. With these extras we get to see him sing this “message song” time and again, hitting the same gruff notes over and over, leaving us in no doubt - this Elvis was taking care of business.

Forty-two percent of the total television audience viewed it, making it the most-watched show of the season. As with the first two shows, the cameras that shot Presley from different angles did not have individual taping machines. But it's the electric, nothing-held-back performances that make this section one you'll revisit again and again courtesy of hard-driving highlights including L awdy Miss Clawdy, Blue Suede Shoes, and especially the uninhibited 8pm show performance of Trying to Get to You, where Presley's facial expressions are almost identical to the black-and-white concert photo that adorned the cover of his first album; as the wild crowd roars its approval upon the extended thrashing of its final 'E' chord, watch his reaction: a mixture of orgasmic post-song relief and a sense of pleasure that seems to say, 'I made it. and Lightyear Entertainment, '68 Comeback looked only marginally better than its VHS cousin, to be honest. Yes, it is possible to see Elvis' eye shadow; his almost blue-rinse dyed hair; and yes, one can make out the make-up slapped on to his chiselled features.

Language - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description. The special was shown in the United Kingdom on 31 December 1969 on BBC2 under the title The Fabulous Elvis.
