Summary: One Night With You, Many Nights With Me
Review: I say this because I watch it over and over, loving it more and more each time. Elvis, dressed in black leather, rocks and jokes along with "That's All Right Mama," "Heartbreak Hotel," "Blue Suede Shoes" and many more classic songs from his early days. This, along with "Aloha From Hawaii" and "That's the Way It Is," is the greatest film ever. "There's something wrong with my lip...I did 29 pictures like that...'Elvis will talk about first record' (then someone in the audience says "a little late.") 'Elvis will talk about not being able to touch body with hands..." Only an example of the many jokes you'll uncover in this remarkable package. Elvis at his raw, undrugged, rockin' best; don't pass up this extraordinary concert. (NOTE: Get this instead of the DVD; it is a rip-off.)

Summary: This should be "One-Half Night with You"
Review: I was extremely disappointed in the DVD. On the VHS version released years ago, there were two sessions--each with a different audience. The first session is loose, funny, and Elvis is obviously nervous. He then wants to play Scotty's guitar, but can't find a strap to hold the guitar while he stands up. There is joking around about this. He sends the first audience out with a comment that a second audience is coming in. There is disappointment in the group, to which Elvis answers, "Hey, I only work here!"This entire first session is DELETED from the DVD version of "One night with you!" The DVD is only the second session, which has less energy, less FUN--there is no fooling around with the musicians on stage with Elvis. Elvis looks and sounds great, but the DVD is short and, in my opinion, cheats the buyer out of half of the black leather suit sessions. The VHS version is better in that it contains EVERYTHING--but then, DVD is DVD. Still, I'd rather watch the VHS version, even though I'm a die-hard advocate of DVD technology. It's just not enough Elvis on the DVD version, especially if you have the VHS version. I don't know why EPE decided to delete one audience session (and couldn't get clearance for one of the songs--Are You Lonesome Tonight) for the DVD version. If you're an Elvis collector, buy it knowing it is not complete; otherwise, I'd go find the old VHS version. Summary: I was totally bummed out with this DVD. Elvis would not have liked what they did with cutting his performance either!

Summary: Elvis jams with the band.
Review: This is the first sit-down session of two recorded by Elvis for his 1968 comeback special. The full audio of the second session is available on the CD "Tiger Man." This DVD is a must-have for any Elvis fan because it features The King singing and playing the guitar in a casual setting. Elvis and the band sit in a circle flanked by a sedate audience (his vocals are not obscured by screaming women as usual). As you watch the show you can witness Elvis beginning the program nervous and tired, warming up as he progresses. This is most evident in the song "Baby What Do You Want Me To Do," which he sings quietly early in the performance and again in two reprises. By the third time Elvis has hit his stride, jamming his lead guitar and infecting the audience with vocals issuing from his soul. He jokes with his band members, blatantly reads and makes fun of the script for the show, forgets the words to "Heartbreak Hotel," shares anecdotes about some of his earlier shows, and pokes fun at his trademark sneer. The DVD offers two sound options off the main menu - the Surround Sound option actually draws attention to the shortcomings in the audio equipment used in the recording. I prefer to listen to the original Mono recording. If you are looking for high-quality sound, you had best purchase "Tiger Man," since it appears that some of the kinks from the first sitting featured in "One Night With You" were worked out before the second sitting.
