Summary: Elvis Concert session uncut
Review: Elvis One Night With You is the uncut session of The Comeback Special. There are 11 songs (excluding Tigerman). The song Tigerman was shown on The Comeback Special but is not on here. The first song on this tape is That's All Right. Followed by Heartbreak Hotel.

The tape is 53 minutes long. Here are the songs;

1. That's All Right 2. Heartbreak Hotel 3. Love Me 4. Baby, What Do You Want Me To Do 5. Blue Shedue Shoes 6. Lawdy, Miss Clawdy 7. When My Heart Turns To Gold Again. 8. Blue Christmas 9. Trying To Get To You. 10. One Night 11. Memories

Now some of the songs was not included in the session like Heartbreak Hotel. But might have been heard somewhere else. Two of Elvis orignial bandmates appear in this session, But Bill Black died in 1965.

Some of the song you might have heard of before. And some may be new too you. But I'm sure all Elvis Presley fans has heard of Heartbreak Hotel. If 7 more minutes were on this tape then it would be an hour long. Great for Elvis Presley fans only!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: One Night with You.....Elvis at his best
Review: I have a collection of Elvis movies and of all his concert video's, this is one is my favorite. He's stunning singing his old classics, in a relaxed setting with his old band from the 50's. Looking awesome in his black leather suit, he really looks his best. I highly recommend this concert, and also Elvis-Thats the way it is.

Summary: Elvis was different
Review: I have always been an Elvis fan. He was/is the greatest performer/singer that ever lived. The Beatles were great, and beyond all others in musical accomplistments, except for Elvis, who far outranks them. In this DVD, one is able to experience him in the "unplugged" setting with a few of his "friends", including Scotty Moore, & D.J. Fontana. I had not seen any of this show since I first experienced it in 1968. Back then, we thought that he did it just to put the Beatles, (then at the height of their influence), in perspective. He did that.

But while viewing the program last night, I realized some things that are apparent now to me, that I would not have taken note of back then. I was a little uncomfortable with the way that everyone with him was dressed in red jumpsuits, while obviously adhering to careful agreement to every word Elvis said. They were indeed, the "yes-men" that have been revealed so often in the literature written since his death. After all the technological advances since that time, it seemed strange to see him passing guitars back and forth to Scotty Moore. Fontana used a guitar case as a drum, which gave an annoying "cardboard" sound when the DVD stereo sound was used. If this was done today, there would no limitations observed in the quality of equipment used, even in an "informal-unplugged" setting. Elvis even sang the last song, "Memories", to what sounded like a karaoke tape being played off-stage. Today, there would have been an orchestra behind him for accompaniment. Also, the between song chatter would have been much better planned. At one point, Elvis made reference to the "Music of today", saying that he "liked" the Beatles, and another group,(I cannot remember), before adding "and the rest" in a very flippant, unimportant manner. He really seemed to me to be doing this show as if it had just been suggested to him an hour ago. There was almost no preparation at all.

Having said that, let me now say that he pulled it off wonderfully! ONLY Elvis could do a show in this manner, and have it be a classic! His impromptu singing was as remarkable as I remembered it to be. No human voice was ever as beautiful as his! My wife lived all her life in another country until she married me a few years ago, and she had NEVER seen him on video before, till last night. All she could talk about was how handsome he was! He sang one masterpiece after another, and ALL she could talk about was how "beautiful that man is!" Her face seemed glossed over thoughout the whole show, as if she had been hypnotized! She was STILL talking about his appearance when I left for work this morning!! I am not sure that I am comfortable with her reaction to him, even with him being dead!

There will never be another performer like he was, and this DVD is proof of that! As long as these films of him exist, there will be people wanting to experience watching him as he was in 1968. There has not been any performer to appear on the horizon of entertainment in the years since his death, that even remotely approach the charisma, and talent, of this man. This DVD is a treasure, and highly reccomended to most people.

Summary: One Night With You, Many Nights With Me
Review: I say this because I watch it over and over, loving it more and more each time. Elvis, dressed in black leather, rocks and jokes along with "That's All Right Mama," "Heartbreak Hotel," "Blue Suede Shoes" and many more classic songs from his early days. This, along with "Aloha From Hawaii" and "That's the Way It Is," is the greatest film ever. "There's something wrong with my lip...I did 29 pictures like that...'Elvis will talk about first record' (then someone in the audience says "a little late.") 'Elvis will talk about not being able to touch body with hands..." Only an example of the many jokes you'll uncover in this remarkable package. Elvis at his raw, undrugged, rockin' best; don't pass up this extraordinary concert. (NOTE: Get this instead of the DVD; it is a rip-off.)
