"ELVIS: '68 Comeback Special - Deluxe Edition DVD" is a three-disc set featuring all the material shot for Elvis Presley's 1968 television special, which is considered one of rock 'n' roll's greatest moments on television and one of the most magical and important moments of Elvis's career. The original broadcast version of the special is included for historical context. The DVD set features the two complete jam session concerts and the two complete solo concerts - all with Elvis in black leather - that were shot as the resource for the heart of the original broadcast. These four concerts have never been released in their entirety.

Except for the "It Hurts Me" omission, I thought this was a GREAT DVD release.

Yeah Doc, and not just a great DVD of Elvis, but one of the greatest DVD's of anyone or anything.

Pretty brave move of EPE to mainstream market what is almost a collection of out takes and what we would call bloopers these days.

Guess that's the mark of the quality of Elvis when his cutting room floor footage can still outshine many other acts.

I consider this set the best DVD ever released from Elvis. And the image quality also is superb.

Best Regards
