Customer Reviews of Elvis - The Great Performances Box Set
A Vague Sneak Peak About the King As a relatively new Elvis fan, I generally speaking liked this selection. There are a lot of performances from Elvis's younger year that I very much enjoyed. The thing that bothered me though, was that the narration was very chopped up.
I liked first two discs well enough. The narrator was much more informative and interesting to listen to. However, I was very surprised, and disappointed when they totally switched to someone else on the third disc.
I felt that wa highly unorganized and strange. White the first two discs have fun performances and even some home movies.
The third I believe was just thrown together and made to make extra money. I personally would get something else for Elvis' performances. However, I'm not so disappointed because like I said I am a new Elvis fan. So I believe it's good for people who want a good introduction to him, but not for long time Presely fans though.
A Wide Variety of Good Recordings
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the same old complaints. "Some songs repeat" or "they showed two songs from the same concert" -- big deal! This is an excellent compilation of footage. From his first TV appearance in 1956, to his last in 1977, these tapes have everything you could ever want to see.
Highlights: "Shake Rattle and Roll" from the Dorsey Shows, "Ready Teddy" from Ed Sullivan, "All Shook Up" from the '68 Comeback, and "Unchained Melody" from Elvis in Concert. Some of the lip-synch performances are good too, as well as songs from his movies. Yes, some songs do repeat, but don't let that drag you down. If you don't like it, fast forward through it the second time.
I should have listened!
I should have listened to the Amazon.com reviews. Many of them said it looked like the same footage on each disc just from a different angle or a different song from the same concert. I didn't want to believe it but its true. However, I would recommend that you buy disc 1 and not the set. It is the best and captures every side of Elvis you will see in the other two. The version of "Unchained Melody" was fascinating. Not only was it very emotional and definitely touched me, but also shocking how heavy he was and was filmed just two months before his death. It may sound crazy but for me it was like a farewell song.
