I was never a big Elvis fan. Having grown up on classic rock I had to laugh when I heard him referred to as the king of rock and roll. I was turned off by the outfits which I thought were hokey and the music didn't engage me. I bought this on a whim because it was a new blu-ray release and in 5.1. This film has instilled in me a great deal of respect for both Elvis the man and the artist.

I popped the disc in planning to preview only ten minutes or so, but I could not stop watching.

The guy is extraordinarily captivating and mesmerizing. You begin by getting a behind the scenes look at several rehearsal sessions. There are a few spontaneous moments and idle banter which make you feel like a fly on the wall. Later you are at the desert venue before the show where you can feel the build-up to what is coming. Nerves appear on edge as other celebrities and the Vegas crowd begin to assemble with all of their late 60's era fashion and hairstyles. Elvis's interactions both with those around him and his audience are simply rare and electrifying (I never thought I would see anyone kiss more women in public than Richard Dawson). It's easy to see here why he had achieved the level of success that he did in his time, captured the hearts of so many and has become an enduring legend.

The audio here is fabulous with a quality more like a studio recording than a live concert. There is so much energy in the performance and it comes right through. If you crank it up you are right there in the audience. The video quality is equally amazing. The discs are packed within a quality book style case with premium glossy photos within. As a new fan, I think I am entitled to say that I think Elvis would have been proud of this release.

What a treat it is to finally have this amazing concert film captured on High Definition Blu-ray with 1080 visual quality and Dts Lossless sound, which enables the audio portion to virtually match the master recording without losing quality or depth when played on the proper HD television and Blu-ray machine.

This is Elvis Presley at his absolute prime in Las Vegas at the largest casino showroom in the world, The Showroom Internationale. Elvis is in amazing shape and looks and sounds fantastic as months of Karate and the previous two month long engagements at the International have put him in the best physical shape of his life. He has the bronze of a greek god and the moves of a tiger on stage.

His setlist for the Nash-Vegas crowds is staggering in its scope, range and diversity. Is there another singer in the world that could pull of singing Bridge Over Troubled Water, Just Pretend, The Wonder of You, You've Lost That Loving Feeling, You Don't Have To Say You Love Me, One Night and Suspicious Minds with such virtuosity and ease? Watch the King in amazement as he puts his own amazing choreography with Karate moves to Polk Salad Annie, Patch It Up ( co-written by the late great Eddie Rabbit) and Suspicious Minds.

Elvis Thats The Way It Is also captures Elvis in candid rehearsal scenes and you will see how there is no doubt he is in charge of the arrangements and the band. Elvis wanted to capture the full sound and range of the American Popular music he had exposed himself to his entire life including opera, country, soul, gospel, pop and rhythm and blues. No other artist in history has ever so successfully captured such a diverse repertoire in studio and in a live concert setting and at such a high artistic level.

This is Elvis in his prime. The Blu-Ray version is a big improvement from the DVD release in standard def.I do think that Graceland enterprises and Warner Brother should have offered more material but unfortunately they just did not get all 6 concerts complete on video. That said there is other material that they could have included and upgraded to Blu-Ray but the powers that be are short sided or waiting to release a second Blu-Ray disk down the line so they make more money.
Watching this video reaffirms why 37 years after his death over 500,000 people visit Graceland each year.
He simply was the best combination of voice, energy and looks that has ever lived. The guy could sing, dance and draw a crowd in like no other performer I have seen and this concert really shows that.
I am not sure what DVD people are watching when they say this is not better than the 2001 and 2007 release. It is in High Def, MAyve they are watching on a standard TV set (ha ha)

Finally someone with heart has realized that both versions were valid. Which one is your favorite? It depends on the individual who watches them.

When it originally was released, some of us, especially those who could not dish up the money to see the King on Stage in Las Vegas, were already elated to watch him in the original documentary, which also reflected a moment in the phenomenon that was Elvis in 1970 and how it touched its fans back then.

But those who were born much later may have considered such interpolations between a song and another as disturbing and distracting, this is why it was wise to prepare a newer version of the documentary, omitting those passages and instead fill these gaps with additional songs in Elvis' repertory to make it more enticing.

I must say that personally, even though I appreciated the old documentary when it came out, I really do prefer the newer version because it gives me the full spectrum of the showman Elvis without unnecessary interruptions.

But as I have already said, this is a matter of perspective. One is a historical document, the other shows Elvis in all his glory. Both have their independent value.

This is why I was a bit disappointed when with the first release of the newer version, they decided to simply discard the older one. In my view they both belong together, if just as a comparison.

Now we have this new splendid release in Blu-Ray, and what a release it is. Granted, there is nothing truly new here, except maybe for an additional nice booklet, but both versions are finally together and both have been cleaned up quite considerably.

Colors now are clearer and vivid, the sound is simply astounding and well, the King? Well, the King sounds better than ever.
