Elvis: '68 Comeback Special: 50th Anniversary Edition

TV SERIES 1968 1 SEASON

Overview

'68 Comeback Special: 50th Anniversary Edition is the definitive chronicle of the now legendary NBC-TV show Elvis. After years of making formulaic movies, Elvis was finally unleashed to perform live again on an intimate stage with his original sidemen, Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana. Playing "That's All Right," "Heartbreak Hotel," "Lawdy Miss Clawdy," and many of his great hits, the sheer rawness and excitement of the performances attracted unanimous critical acclaim. Greil Marcus in his book Mystery Train said "If ever there was a music that could bleed, this was it." NBC-TV's Elvis is as raw and inspirational today as it was in 1968. This 50th Anniversary Edition includes all the known recordings from RCA's vault and all the videotaped performances are here for the first time on Blu-ray.

This production, originally released in 1968, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Scripted series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Documentary genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 10.0 across its 1 season.
