Movie synopsis

Elvis Presley, the undisputed king of rock, performs in a concert recorded on December 3, 1968. Airing as an NBC special, this spectacular performance--his first T.V. performance in eight years--has become legendary. Performing alone as well as in special jam sessions with Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana, his early backing musicians, Elvis puts on the kind of crackling, charismatic show which helped make him the most famous rock & roll star of all time.

sheer perfection - at his peak - that voice - that look

Created: 29/03/08
Loved to be able to see him at his finest time musically - his voice still had the strength, depth and beauty that none can copy. He was still absolutely beautiful physically and had such an incredible charisma. Loved all but 10 minutes of the show when the dancing and '60s go go thing turned me off...but, he shone....saw the original when I was 10 years of age & still remember how dynamic he came across. If you love/like Elvis - this is the ultimate time to remember - the most perfect space he was ever in - although written of as a troubled soul - this performance was filled with gentle humor, passion, great music and it seemed a real connection to his audience. Beautiful video!!! Decided to buy it when talking to an old friend who had seen the original telecast with me - well worth the money - what a great memory....as he sang "sweetened thru the ages just like wine....sweet memories"

Does this really need a review?

Created: 03/10/07
Folks this is television history. The King at his very best. If you are remotely an Elvis fan this is a must see video. If you dont own the 68' Comeback Special video then you probably are not an Elvis fan at all.

Elvis, Never Better!!

Created: 06/12/08
I was only ten when Elvis first became popular in the mid-50's so I liked
him but he was never my favorite. However in 1968 when Elvis made this
Comeback Special I could realize how good he really was. Elvis in his mid
30's was never more powerful, never better looking and at the peek of his
career. Most artists start out great and just hang on. The great ones like
Elvis, Dylan, Sinatra, Stones, etc. just keep getting better. I realized
with this performance that Elvis was just not a singer and record maker but
a top class performer

The Great DVD

Created: 03/04/08
'68 Comeback is a very important concert of Elvis Presley and I have also have a collection of Elvis' all albums, movies and old records.I have been collecting concert DVDs of Elvis so the DVD is very valuable. If you are a fun of The King, you should buy it.
