"The
1968 TV special was called simply Elvis, but posterity knows
it as the comeback show. It caught Presley at a defining moment,
resurrecting his career with an authoritative demonstration
of supernatural talent and charisma.
The seven hours
of this triple DVD set include the special as it went to air
(minus ads), plus the two "leather suit sit-down shows" (with
original band) and the two "leather suit stand-up shows" (performed
solo). It repeatedly shows the star reaching for excellence,
for the killer groove that infused his early work. It's thrilling,
exciting, probably Elvis's finest hour - he's imperial but
generous, funny, beautiful and musically hungry".
