    CBS Elvis Special

    Anyone catch this? It was pretty cool if you like Elvis, which I do. Lots of cool home vids and interviews with Priscilla and Lisa Marie.

              They also included a few songs that weren't broadcast during both the '68 Comeback special and the Hawaii concert....

              I was quite surprised how much they both opened up about their private time with Elvis.... They've always kept that to themselves... You could tell how emotional it was, especially at the end....

                I had never heard of this CBS special. Sounds cool!

                I bought the 68 Comeback NTV special de luxe edition last year. A must!

                Now, are you talking about a DVD?

                      Absolutely! Everything in it kicks ass, even the scenes where Elvis's dancers or the King himself fail. The scene in which he has to break a guitar apart ("Big Boss Man") is worth it. The "Little Egypt" stuff is real fun, for Elvis seems to miss what he's supposed to do first because he digs the chick like hell (who wouldn't, she's a mere bomb), then as if he wanted to make it last on purpose...

                      I just hope the CBS footage is on DVD too and offers as much bonus stuff.

                          Yeah! In fact, there are only very few weak moments.

                            yeh, I wuz only able to catch a few minutes here and there, but from what I saw, it looked Great!!!

                            I love Elvis man, he wuz totally KOOL...

                            That unplugged segment with the Black leather suit is totally kick ass!

                            The ALOHA FROM HAWAII show wuz good too...

                            when it comes to Elvis, I don't listen or read all that horeshit from thoze journalistic bullshit fucknutz about the same ole fuckin' drugs, the bad eating habits, bla bla bla...

                            It's all about the music!!!

                            and for anyone that sayz 70's Elvis didn't ROCK...check out "PROMISED LAND", "T-R-O-U-B-L-E", "WAY DOWN" etc etc...

                              The DVD is out tomorrow. I believe it's a double disc. The TV show was 2 hours minus commercials, so I'm assuming there's bonus stuff.

                              The companion CD and book came out in the last week or so, as well.

                              They are all referred to as "Elvis by the Presleys."
                              Same ole song and dance...
