electrifying almost as if elvis was really there. After 30 years of his death Elvis' concerts are still great to watch . He makes all the popular stars today look like amateurs. He is one of the greatest entertainers of our time . It is just fantastic to watch all the old band members play his songs it sounds new with elvis' voice on it like a remix .

This is a reunion of Elvis Presley's 1970's band playing live in concert with The King on the big screen singing the vocals. On this night the old group, orchestra and back-up singers including the 1950's Jordanaires deliver a powerful performance. The featured musician is guitarist James Burton who is ON. Collectively they keep right in time which is not an easy task when the singer is not really present. The 5.1 channel surround sound brings Elvis Presley to the 2000's. The high point is the moving ballad "American Trilogy". The film clips are taken from his Hawaii concert, Las Vegas shows, "1968 Comeback Special" ("If I Can Dream") and "On Tour". The live audience in Memphis is up for the occasion. However this DVD is not for everyone. The camera shots hold on his band only 1 to 3 seconds average time showing them also in the 1970's and this 1997 concert. Elvis the star gets mixed in between on the big screen at the show and in full format. The presentation comes off like an MTV video concert. Being a fan of Elvis since the 1950's, I own numerous Presley live DVD/Videos. I would rank "Elvis Lives" fifth behind in order: "1968 Comeback Special Deluxe", "That's The Way It Is", "Aloha Deluxe" and "Elvis 56". It makes for a good addition for established Presley fans who can handle the quick shot format and younger fans who embrace these type presentations. "Elvis Lives" is a spirited tribute to his last decade not his whole career. Rockabilly purists would best begin with Presley's 1950's live CD's/DVD's before purchasing this show because the only driving "Sun" rocker on this set is the medley "Mystery Train/Tiger Man".

For those of us who never saw Elvis live, I guess this is the closest we will ever come. Elvis looks great and sounds even better. The band sounds good and it's a little emotional when toward the end of the show when they play "How Great Thou Art" and "American Trilogy". The picture quality is great except for the video footage of Elvis in 1970. For some reason, the video quality is barely average for the 1970 shows. On the plus side, the sound is really good and all of the Aloha video footage is really great quality. This is sort of a DVD "jukebox" for Elvis videos in the 70's. People really don't understand how good he really was until they see this video. For example, most folks don't even know that Elvis sang "Brige Over Troubled Water" in 1970. His version is AWESOME and blows away Simon and Garfunkle's version. The version of Suspcious Minds on this DVD is the very best version as well and the song ends with Elvis doing the coolest moves of his career at the end of the song--shaking his shoulders/chest in tempo with the drums. Cool stuff really. "In the Ghetto" is also great. This is a DVD you will play over and over agan and it's worth the small price. I stay in shape watching this video. I get on my treadmill and run while I'm watching the video.
There are really too many highlights to mention. If you are an Elvis fan, this DVD is essential. If you are not an Elvis fan, this DVD should convert you. I would like to attend the 30 year show in Memphis now. That sounds like fun.

This show is the next best thing to seeing Elvis live. I actually saw a live performance of this show in Memphis in 1997 and it was fantastic. The original show had Lisa Marie singing a duet with her dad.....Don't Cry Daddy. Elvis has been gone for 30 years but his memory is alive and well, especially with a performance such as this.
