Some essential info regarding this release is missing: Duration of each clip, picture quality, sound quality (if any), and price. But I guess we get that in the review.
Ive seen some of the "fan movies" on VHS a while back, and I must admit that despite the obvious excitement in seeing Elvis in other outfits, the quality left too much to be desired. After I saw it once I didnt even bother to buy it for my own collection - I would never bother to see it again, anyway: No sound or extremely poor sound, the camera shaking so much that you had to freeze the picture to spot the man on certain clips, and image quality at a level where it could be discussed if it really was Elvis or just an impersonator - it was impossible to say for sure. Sometimes it even looked like it was black/white with some color filter effect on - thats how much of the color info in the film was left. Im saying this just to lower any high expectations of fans that hasnt seen any of these kinds of releases: They really are only for the hardest core of the hardcore fans.

I bought this video a few years ago, and the content is the same as the above mentioned DVD. You will get to see some great, rare footage of Elvis on stage, from memory, nice footage of Elvis perfoming in 1975 in his two piece suit etc was nice to see. The only downside is that there is NO Elvis singing voice whatsoever, and what you get is a dubbed crowd cheering noise in the background. That said, the new DVD might be different but in any case, worth a look.

A must have! But I would like to know more, for example, does it look crisp clean or how about the sound? Is it mute, good sound, bad sound? Well I don't really care about the sound or the image thou'. Hope this DVD is avalaible in Chile!
