I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MorePretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
... View MoreEntertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
... View MoreFanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
... View MoreI saw the commercial for this DVD and had to have it right away. I love Elvis and the clips that I watched from this concert made me believe "Elvis Lives". Seeing all of his past band members, back up singers there in the flesh performing live with Elvis on a big screen sold me. I will be watching this DVD for many years to come and my 5 year old son will learn who the true King of Rock and Roll truly is....LongLive The King! I love how this video was made, from Memphis, live from a packed concert hall with thousands of Elvis fans in the audience, as if they were at an actual live performance. I wish that I could have been there to see this with all the other fans, definitely history being made thanks to our age of technology.
... View MoreElvis Presley died in August 1977, so how can he appear in concert 25 years later? With a video screen, some nifty editing, and members of his original band and backing singers appearing live on stage is the answer.This shouldn't work, especially as the Elvis shown on video is under 40 while the musicians and singers are more like 70 - these include the Sweet Inspirations and the Stamp Quartet, Joe Guercio, Charlie Hodge, Ronnie Tutt, the Jordanaires, Glen Hardin, etc. It's fascinating seeing what these people look like 25 years on, and to hear them playing alongside the footage (taken from performances taped between 1969 and 1973).It is a curio, yes, and also includes some chat from the old bandmates which detracts a little from the overall experience. Still, worth a look, and if you are an Elvis fan, essential.
