The year is 1968. After several years of making movies without personal
appearances things are about to change.
This new release is purely
fictional and presents Elvis Presley’s Comeback Special in a totally different
way; Elvis is hosting his own TV Special and tells his side of the story.
Elvis talks about his career, first record and Hollywood. His personal life,
tragedies, future plans and God, giving you an intimate look at his life and
career in a way only he can.
Including rare footage and home movies,
original clips from the movies, and some cool vintage commercials from 1968!
Presented in "True” widescreen for the first time! Not stretching out Elvis
body or face, but all shots individually prepared for the best result!
The opening is sensational and has a full version of Trouble/Guitar Man,
including Elvis' footage from the Discotheque, Supper Club, wearing Black
leather as well as the original version all edited to perfection!
After
the first "Elvis Speaks" part the show starts with some of his first Sun
Records; That’s All Right, Trying To Get To You and Tiger Man get the special
really started!
Most clips have been re-edited for watching pleasure, for
example the “break up" version of Heartbreak Hotel (second sit down) has been
recreated as a full rockin’ version! Same goes for That’s All Right and Blue
Suede Shoes; full versions without repeatable parts, making some portions
shorter than usual but it all works quite well for the overall “feel” of this
Special.
The gospel section also has been re-done including rare
alternate footage and performances.
All songs have been re-edited.
Elvis talks through the whole special and lots of rare footage accompanies
him while doing so.
We already can hear all the critics...."Why include
the boring commercials” .. but it is part of the idea of recreating
something in a way as if it is 1968 and this special was shown on tv, including
commercial breaks. Don’t worry.. you can skip them if you like .. but we advise
not to do this the first time you watch it.
All fans must agree that 1968
“Saved” Elvis' career, so no need to explain why the producers of this dvd
called it: “I'M SAVED". Sit back and relax, and let Elvis take you on a musical
journey through his Life. We’re not saying it is better, but it’s approach could
have been at least as good for actual viewing at the time.
