	Elvis: '68 Comeback Special (1968)
		Usually referred to as The ’68 Special or The ’68 Comeback, the actual name of this landmark television special was Elvis.
		Presley’s 1968 “comeback special” enjoys a reputation as solid Elvis, so I thought it would be a good place to start.
		I’d love to be able to recommend Elvis: ’68 Comeback Special just because some parts of it are so good, but when a DVD itself looks and sounds so terrible, I’m afraid that it needs to remain on the shelf.

		Apart from the sublime music performances, what is fantastic about the '68 Comeback Special is that it is all about a man finding himself creatively - the clashing forces of years of self-doubt and inner drive pushing Elvis to a peak in his career.
		The raw energy he generates in his performances is staggering, his lithe figure adorned by a glistening fl leather outfit dominating the screen, transfixing your attention on a moment in music history.
		The Comeback Special is so rich in musical highlights that there are too many magical moments to mention.

		Elvis needed to pull off something special to reclaim his throne, and that something special was broadcast on NBC on December 3, 1968.
		Secondly, on my surround system, there is a clear lip-synch problem during the opening segment of the special, but this clears up during the first sit-down part of the show.
		There are two discs packed full of the additional footage not used during the special, including the out-takes, and this additional material is well presented and explained in a 24-page full colour booklet that accompanies the three DVDs.

		Released in conjunction with a two-disc deluxe edition of Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii, the three-disc deluxe edition of Elvis's '68 Comeback Special is another incredible treasure trove of footage documenting a high point of the King's career and a milestone of televised musical performances.
		Taped and broadcast in 1968 after Elvis had seemingly abandoned live performing in favor of a movie career, the '68 Comeback Special was a remarkably intimate show, Elvis singing his old songs on a small stage, often alone, surrounded on all sides by a rapt audience.
		In addition to the complete, uncut TV special (with the bordello number that was deemed too daring for TV), this DVD set includes both of the original stand-up shows and both of the original sit-down shows (the first was released mostly complete as One Night with You), and multiple takes of numerous production numbers.

		Elvis: '68 Comeback Special shows how, isolated from his original audience after a long sojourn on Hollywood soundstages, and threatened by the vibrancy and social gravity of rock, the King sought to reclaim his throne.
		This was filmed five years before he achieved broadcast history with his legendary 1973 global satellite telecast, Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii, but more than three decades later, it's Comeback Special that looms as the Memphis icon's most substantial achievement as a stage performer.
		This is quite expensive package so maybe only fans are willing to buy it, but this is the ultimate moment in the television history (maybe after the first steps in the moon) so maybe you should consider.

		The director of the NBC special that would bare Elvis's name wanted to scrap the "Broadway/Supper Club" approach that Col. Tom Parker wanted and get Elvis "back to the basics" of his rockabilly roots.
		The resulting special - aired in December 1968 - was a compromise: Elvis doing roughly half of the show in elaborate set pieces and the other half, a sit-down near-free-form jam session between Elvis and his band in front of a select audience.
		I went to listen the 68' Elvis comeback special on Cd, released in 1998 as Memories: The '68 Comeback Special.

		On Disc 1, both of the sitdown shows from the night of June 27th, 1968 are released in their entirety for the first time (including performances of Are You Lonesome Tonight that were cut from previous releases due to publishing rights).
		In a special treat for longtime fans who have bought every home video version of this material, all four concerts contained on the disc have been re-edited from scratch by Miller, co-directors Todd Morgan (creative development director for Graceland) and Gary Hovey.

	IGN: Elvis: '68 Comeback Special Review
		And the stage was set for the King of Rock and Roll to make a comeback, which he absolutely did in December of 1968 on an NBC soundstage.
		Originally titled simply Elvis, but renamed through common usage (much like the Beatles' "White Album") Elvis' '68 Comeback Special, this program is a perfect metaphor for Elvis' career on the whole-- by turns impossibly cool and unbelievably cheesy.
		In addition to the great performances, what makes this special cool is that Elvis and his band engage in a lot of "impromptu"-- how impromptu it really was is a matter of some debate-- chatter about the old days, and Elvis clowns around quite a bit, as Elvis was wont to do.

		Preparing for one of those shows in the autumn, Setzer noticed that the fl leather trousers and jacket he was wearing evoked Presley.

	Elvis '68 Comeback Special DVD - New York Magazine Music Review
		The Elvis: ’68 Comeback Special DVD restores the King to his throne—with startling footage of Presley wrestling with his reputation, and winning.
		The tape was staticky, and the show itself was far from complete (the singer’s intimidatingly named estate, Elvis Presley Enterprises, had long held onto the full footage of the special), but what I saw permanently altered my perception of Presley.
		The special was intended as a Christmas show, but at its center were four concerts taped in front of a studio audience.

	Elvis '68 Comeback Special: Deluxe Edition R1 Review - AV Forums
		"In the original December 1968 broadcast version of the the ’68 Special as seen on the DVD set, the song It Hurts Me is missing from the Guitar Man production number.
		When the '68 TV special first aired on December 3, 1968, "It Hurts Me" (probably for time) and the bordello scenes (due to show sponsor objections) were not included in the show's big production number.
		While most Elvis fans/collectors we've heard from are thrilled with the '68 DVD set and herald it as the most significant and exhaustive release of a collection of Elvis performance material ever, we absolutely understand, respect, appreciate and share the concerns expressed by some fans and collectors regarding the the few missing pieces.
