If you wanna see it all, you'll Love this Jun 18, 2010 I bought this mainly for the Sit down Black Leather shows, 1&2
and the Stand up Leather shows 1&2
I have almost everything there is out there, and while some songs are repeated, this stuff (for me) makes it worth the price.
It would be great if someone would edit the Best of these 4 performances, into one.
The Comeback special is charming, a bit dated, but Elvis Looks great, and is singing better than he ever has, with all the energy and passion of his early days.
The stuff edited out for length or content, is great to have as well, like the Bordello segment, deemed too racy for 1968.
Casual fans should just get the Original 68 special DVD, but
for Die-hards, this one's a real treat.

Good package but....... Jan 31, 2010 I bought this for my wife as a birthday present. Very nice package and great performances. I wish I'd known the whole first disc is black and white! The product description does not mention this. I thought this was the original broadcast with extra stuff but I'm not so sure. The show was broadcast in color, so why the black and white footage of the special?? Otherwise it's great.

No point in not buying the deluxe... Jan 10, 2010 With as much footage covered you can't go wrong.
Don't cheap yourself out.

1 1/2 discs are great, 1 1/2 discs are for completists Jan 02, 2010 First, I'd like to let eric, who gave the previous review dated 29 Dec 09, know that you can identify the discs by the number of "dots" on the disc, 1,2,3.
For historical context, this is the best Elvis performance that exists in color. For that alone it is worth having a copy.
The first 1 1/2 discs are great material and mostly great performances, including the original show as broadcast, two unedited versions of the sit down sessions and two unedited versions of the stand up session.
The advantage of having this set compared to just the show only is that you get the continuity of the actual live performances here, verses a "cut & paste" of just the best bits from the boradcast only. The "cut & paste" broadcast is great, but if you want the Elvis live exeperience, these two uncut sessions are worth the premium you pay for this set. You can watch them in the context and continuity of a single perfomance.
The last 1 1/2 discs are cutting floor material that would appeal to an Elvis completist. I am guessing that watching E practice endless takes of production dance numbers will only appeal to a small minority of viewers.
I don't understand why every few years the Presley estate feels the need to release yet another "gretaest hits" CD package. Perhaps they believe there is an unlimited number of people who still don't own one or or greatest hits they like (my personal favorite / best value is still the oddly titled "50 Worldwide Gold Hits: Volume 1, Parts 1 & 2"). Therefore, the fact that half this deluxe DVD set has little artistic value and the retail price of this set is so high should not be a surprise.
Still, at $25-$45 for the deluxe set, I feel the 1 1/2 discs of the original show plus 4 sessions of uncut performances make this set worth it. You can use the third disc as a coaster though if your objective is Elvis the singer.
One more suggestion: get "The Johnny Cash Show: The Best of Johnny Cash 1969-1971" box set and contrast it with this broadcast. Here are two Sun Records two biggest alumini having ended up in two very different places at roughly the same time, 1968-70. Both were musical geniuses, had their demons and give great performances. Cash's ability to branch out and Elvis' search to redefine himself during this period is worth exploring.

Great Content --- Horrible Presentation Dec 29, 2009 The content is great and the picture quality and sound are excellent. The bad news is the disorganization of the discs makes the discs almost impossible to use, navigate or even know what is on each disc. There are three DVD's but they are NOT labeled! No indication of which DVD is one, two, or three. The menu formats are a nightmare. When an icon turns bright white, it is not a selectable choice. But when you roll onto an icon and it turns BLACK, that is the choice...WTF? Who put this mess together...Pricillia?
