Member Rating:  
This was not only Elvis' comeback, but also his first-ever TV special. Originally telecast December 3, 1968, the 60-minute songfest begins with Elvis offering a medley of his old hits: "Heartbreak Hotel," "Hound Dog," "All Shook Up," "Jailhouse Rock," "Love Me Tender," etc. In honor of the Yuletide season, Presley also croons "Blue Christmas." The more elaborate production numbers include "Guitar Man," "Nothingsville," "Big Boss Man," and "Trouble." Wrapping up things is the grand finale, "I Can Dream." Backing up the King is the Blossoms vocal group. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Disc 1 was a total waste. Same songs over and over like a broken record. Disc 2 slightly better but not much. #3 was good but can't make up for the first 2. Don't waste your time. Don Martin

    Apparently I received a disc other than disc one, in the sleeve marked disc one also. It was an absolute waste of time of re-takes. My husband and I wasted the whole night trying to figure out why we couldn't get the main show to start. I hope we don't get it back again like one of the other viewers did.

    They have sent me Disc 2 and Disc 3 but not Disc 1. Now they keep sending me Disc 3 over and over again in a sleeve that says Disc 1. I am getting ready to cancel my membership.
