Product Description This rockumentary is a must-see experience that takes you backstage and front-row center as Elvis unleashes his incomparable talent and showmanship during his 1970 concert tour. Amazon.com This 1970 concert documentary captures Elvis Presley midway through a fateful transition, seeking to reclaim his musical primacy after a decade of self-imposed exile from concert stages. Sidelined by his big-screen career, eclipsed by rock's mid-'60s transformations, the King had begun his return two years earlier with the relatively lean attack of his fabled network television appearance, '68 Comeback Special. Now the Memphis legend was poised to reposition his performing profile by pursuing the top rungs of headliner status in Las Vegas, a career choice that seems even more ephemeral in hindsight than it already did at the time.Elvis: That's the Way It Is follows the show's genesis from rehearsal to stage, with the performance footage that provides its inevitable climax shot over six nights. The rehearsal footage, expanded for this special edition, offers further proof that Presley's band was simply superb: stripped of the orchestrations and lush choral arrangements that would be grafted onto the stage show, the sextet sounds both tough and nimble. In performance, we're treated to a mostly riveting glimpse of Presley in top vocal form, poised at the brink of bombast. This is Elvis before the onset of portentous Richard Strauss overtures, karate kicks, and tossed scarves, kicking off the show with the classic "That's All Right." If he risks undercutting the punch of his early songs with self-deprecating clowning, he attacks two Ray Charles classics with gusto. The special edition also boasts digitally remastered visuals, crisply remixed Dolby audio, alternate versions that replace the original performances of several tracks (including the extended vamp of "Suspicious Minds"), a theatrical trailer, and a new documentary on the restoration of the film. --Sam Sutherland

I love Elvis. What more can I say? This shows Elvis at the peak of his sexiness; healthy and oh-so-talented. Over forty years ago and the material is still entertaining and fresh. I have seen many many concerts. It has always amazed me how Elvis could hold an audience's attention with just himself on stage and only minimal backup from his backup singers and band. Other entertainers needed flamboyant fireworks, glitzy backdrops, scantily clad dancers, etc. I was blessed to have attended two of his concerts in the early 70's and there was a reason why the announcer always said at the end of his shows " Ladies and Gentlemen, Elvis has left the building. Thank you and Good Night." Otherwise there would have been a stampede of people climbing up onto the stage to go after him. Let me try and explain. Elvis always gave his all at his performances, often going over the expected amount of time. At one of the concerts, as much as I was enjoying it, I noticed that the performance was going well over thirty five minutes over the allotted time. I glanced over at some of his backup singers to see how they were faring wondering if maybe they may be in need of a pee break or something. Elvis was still going strong. But no, they were intent on focusing their complete attention on their boss who was single handedly orchestrating the entire show. Elvis commandeered the show, setting the pace and tempo throughout. He decided how long the show was and when it was over. Elvis had a way of noticing things like when an audience member (myself) might be in a little bit of danger of being crushed by other over exuberant fans trying to clamor over her in an effort to get closer to see Elvis. Elvis was not above stopping singing and effectively stopping the entire show to gently and humorously admonish the offenders. It left me in awe that he noticed and he cared and he actually did something about it. I still think of that day. It was things like this that made him more than an entertainer. By the end of the show, when I and the rest of the audience realized that he had left the stage and wasn't coming back out, I had a sudden urge to go after him and drag, pull or coax him back out. It was as if "No, he can't just leave. He was just getting started." Then just when I'm preparing to get my purse and go after him, the announcer makes that announcement and I suddenly realize he's already gone so therefore there is nothing I can do. So I sit in stunned disbelief and try to concentrate on my clapping.
