The original was poorly edited but the idea was to show the fans and the event that was ELVIS more than Elvis himself. The Special Edition is FANtastic... the man and the music. This two-disc package is awesome because you get more footage and more songs to listen to, the only shame is that the original doesn't have re-mastered sound like the Special Edition, but the DVD quality footage is much better and for many fans it will be the first time they will see the original that clear. A highly recommended purchase for all music fans, it is the best Elvis ever looked during the concert years.

If you already have the previous special edition do not buy this. The first disc duplicates exactly that release. The 2nd disc whilst having a few interesting extras is the original release. This is poor quality as compared to the first disc, and duplicates the concert again (if you already own the previous special edition).
I'm afraid this is just a money making exercise to cash in on the 30th anniversary of his death.

RCA/BMG, Warner and anyone that sells Elvis products, know that the "hardcore" fans will buy just about anything related to Elvis. As to this DVD set, could it have been better? Yes. But I don't really have any big problem with it.

1970, Las Vegas, flushed with the success of the 68 comeback special and the subsequent Memphis album Elvis put on this series of scintillating shows. The DVD collects the best performances from these shows, together with a lot of rehearsal footage and what you get is a fascinating film showing you Elvis still *pretty much at the top of his game. Critically Elvis seems to be in charge of whats going on with the music. Watch the early rehearsal scenes and you will see a man who knows exactly what he wants. Whether its telling the backing singers what they need to do or sorting out musical arrangements.
I say *pretty much because for me Elvis peaked with the 68 comeback special. Here he has put on a few pounds in weight, and perhaps most critically the rock n roll material doesn't seem to work as well as the rip roaring black leather set from the 68 show.
The backing band on these shows was truly superb. I have watched Suspicious Minds many times and the drummer is amazing. In fact you can see that Elvis was probably a frustrated drummer himself as he is equally absorbed with the fills the drummer plays at the of every "because I love you so much baby". James Burton is on guitar and that is another reason to buy the DVD as he is one of the great unsung heros of rock n roll guitar playing.
So overall you get Elvis still close to his peak, giving mostly great performances. The DVD is in proper widescreen cinema ratio (2.35:1) and the picture quality is excellent for a 37 year old film. This is the best Elvis DVD to buy after the 68 comeback special.

Save your hard earned dollars. I purchased this DVD and This Is Elvis special edition as well. It is a repackaging of the same old stuff. The best part of TIE is the car scene where Elvis says, "I was buried in a ?#%(#$". Followed by lots of laughter. It may as well have been bleeped out. When this movie was on TV in Canada years ago, the sound was great and one could hear everything. Everything! I was hoping the live Little Sister would include Get Back, but no, we are sadly disappointed. Again! Maybe someone in the know could tell us just exactly what outtakes are being held 'in the can' and why. Is Elvi$ still the meaning of Elvis? Elvis On Tour in our future? I think, again sadly, no.
