You know what....after nearly 35 years it's about time they started accepting the footage from the CBS Special. It's like a slap in the face by EPE to try to push the image of Elvis "under the rug" from '75 onwards.
As far as I'm concerned & I know there's more who will agree: Stop acting like it never happened & just incorporate it into the mix! There's some truly GREAT footage from the CBS Special. And the usual "Aloha" themed format is starting to get a bit stale.
@Phoenix7878 I love Elvis but the CBS Special was just sad. He was sick and obviously on medication. I only get sad when I see it. I do have to say the he did the best every version of MY WAY on the CBS show. It was so powerful.
I agree with the My Way part, but for the true fans I think it should be incorporated. It's gonna happen sooner or later. Hell, he was on meds throughout the '70's. It's just because he was sick. That's THE ONLY reason it has been held back. The CBS Special was put together very poorly.....there are some fantastic performances within ALL the footage. I think with the master version with audio/video re-mastered, it would be great here and there. thanks 4 comment
This is the best concert I have ever been to and I have been to a lot. The experience of seeing Elvis in his prime on the big screen backed 'live' by his original 1970's musicians is amazing. It is the nearest one can get to witnessing a 'live' Elvis concert. For anyone contemplating whether or not to go and see it then do not hesitate - you will NOT be disappointed.
Although Elvis' voice was probably at his greatest in 1977 as shown in Elvis In Concert, Elvis' health was very poor. That's why they don't use any of the fotages from the 1977 shows. They (Elvis Presley Enterprices) want to keep Elvis' good image from the peak of his career, and use the best material from 1970, 1972 and 1973.
I'll be there, who's with me? :)

Shame that Colonel parker, didn't have more of Elvis shows, video taped and filmed. Missing are some amazing shows in 1971, 1974, 1975 and 1976.
