Sidelined by his big-screen career, eclipsed by rock's mid-'60s transformations, the King had begun his return two years earlier with the relatively lean attack of his fabled network television appearance, '68 Comeback Special. Now the Memphis legend was poised to reposition his performing profile by pursuing the top rungs of headliner status in Las Vegas, a career choice that seems even more ephemeral in hindsight than it already did at the time. Elvis: That's the Way It Is follows the show's genesis from rehearsal to stage, with the performance footage that provides its inevitable climax shot over six nights. The rehearsal footage, expanded for this special edition, offers further proof that Presley's band was simply superb: stripped of the orchestrations and lush choral arrangements that would be grafted onto the stage show, the sextet sounds both tough and nimble. In performance, we're treated to a mostly riveting glimpse of Presley in top vocal form, poised at the brink of bombast. This is Elvis before the onset of portentous Richard Strauss overtures, karate kicks, and tossed scarves, kicking off the show with the classic 'That's All Right.' If he risks undercutting the punch of his early songs with self-deprecating clowning, he attacks two Ray Charles classics with gusto. The special edition also boasts digitally remastered visuals, crisply remixed Dolby audio, alternate versions that replace the original performances of several tracks (including the extended vamp of 'Suspicious Minds'), a theatrical trailer, and a new documentary on the restoration of the film. --Sam Sutherland Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - A must for every Elvis fan Every Elvis fan will want this DVD set in their collection. Behind the scenes and great concert coverage will be your reward. Rating: - Elvis - That's the Way It Is The remade That's the Way It Is, using lots of footage shot for the original but unused at the time, is a fantastic experience, which shows Elvis at his peak. He looks and sounds fabulous. The documentary begins with a riveting concert excerpt, then takes us back to preparations, first in Los Angeles (July 1970) and then Las Vegas (August). The excitement builds as rehearsals take place, and the International Hotel's main showroom is readied for the big opening. During ...

Please answer if this is to be so? Regina Rating: - Wonderful DVD is excellent. Elvis performing and interacting with the audience is a lot of fun to watch. Also, it's interesting to watch the process as he and the band/backup singers prepare for the Vegas show. Highly recommend. Rating: - Elvis - That's the Way It Is Elvis' concert film of his Las Vegas act. Elvis had a way of owning the songs he sang. His movies made money but hurt his career. As the movies phased out, the era of the white jumpsuit began. Elvis dug in at the International Hotel in August, 1969. "Suspicious Minds" climbed to #1. He was back, giving The Beatles all they could handle. He performed at the International (now the Las Vegas Hilton) and did shows around the country for the next 8 years. see more Browse for similar items by category: Pop - Styles - Music - General Vocal Pop - Pop - Styles - Music - General Rock - Styles - Music - General Oldies & Retro - Rock - Styles - Music - Rockabilly Documentary - Genres - DVD - Video - General
