The Documentary : Already in the first seconds, the expert realizes what it is about here: the whole DVD is styled from the beginning until the end. Original colors were used and logos were created in the retro-look, which accord exactly the year 1970, so that you realize immediately that it was worked with a lot of love to the detail. The documentary starts at the end of Elvis' movie career and he returned to live entertainment. This section is decorated with rare unpublished pictures and Super 8 material. You are given detailed information on the time frame and the events, which lead to that comeback and you also get numerous facts, some by Elvis himself, who tells here his own life story. How the producers realized this, shall not be told here, because we do not want to spoil the dvd by offering the details of some of the surprises on the website. This documentary sees itself as "THE FIRST CHAPTER…OR THE BEGINNING" of the events that lead to the original "That's The Way It Is" and is the first DVD-documentary having the topic "Elvis and Las Vegas" as focus. The best on this documentary is surely the unpublished material of Elvis 1969 from the legendary first Las Vegas comeback-engagement. A few minutes from this time frame were shown a few years ago in the movie "Return To Splendour" in low quality. But in consideration of the rareness of the material this was at that time already a sensation to see Elvis on stage live in 1969. The 69' material on this DVD is in impressive, unique quality and it is not the same material like on the above-named production. Please have a look at the Trailer. (choose Trailer from the menu on the left hand) Concert Footage Las Vegas, Nevada - August 1970 The footage which was shot in August 1970 on Super8 by Jean-Marc Gargiulo is probably the most complete concert of that time. Due to the fact that the Super8 format was only available as 3 minutes reels, often times there only exists short pieces of a concert as short clips. However, here the viewer gets the impression of attending a complete concert. The recordings were made shortly after the departure of the MGM Film crew so you don't see any recordings used in "That's The Way It Is". Without the pressure of the film-makers, a totally detached Elvis gives here a clutching and sweeping concert.

A Comment on the Soundtrack: All of the amateur recordings of this film material were recorded in 1970 without sound. Cameras with sound were not available to the general public before the end of 1974/ beginning of 1975. It also not possible to add original Elvis music to the film material because of the legal situation. Even if you would be allowed to add it, this possibility would not be the right solution for most of the recordings. This results from the fact that a reel had a capacity of 3 minutes. The person filming wanted to capture as much impressions as possible of the concert, so he or she filmed as much sequences as possible, which, however, only last a few seconds, due to the running time of the reel. If you tried to add music in lip synchronisation the resulting material would sound like a broken LP. Apart from that, y you could only use a small amount of the amateurish recorded live appearances for a so called "overdubbing". Even if the person filmed 3 or 4 reels per concert at that time, you would have to cut the concert of one hour down to 9 or rather 12 minutes what brings us back to the "effect of the broken LP. If you eclipse the lip synchronisation, you could use Elvis songs as background music but then Elvis's moves totally wouldn't fit the music. It would all seem out of tempo and pretty strange to the fans and would make the pleasure smaller. You have to see Super8 recordings as what they actually are: They enable us to experience Elvis in situations of different years, which wouldn't be available for us otherwise, because from the official side it was failed to make movie documents for the posterity. To cite only one example : if amateurs didn't film any footage of Elvis in 1975 we wouldn't even be able to see the star "live" in the according year. We did not want to expect of the fan to watch a silent movie, so Bud Glass Productions decided for a different way. Instead of using barely fitting karaoke tracks or some kind of elevator music, like its common in cheap productions, the team used especially for this DVD composed songs, recorded in a studio by real musicians. For the first time ever you can find such a high quality music on a Elvis-collectors-DVD, which underlines the recordings stylishly and enjoyably. During this production the "Drum-Roll" of Ronnie Tutt from "That's The Way It Is" was the musical guideline. Abutted at this musical theme the complete DVD and also the menu was designed. Whereas at the actual concert shots on Super 8 there was chosen complete different high quality music, which doesn't sound like typical Elvis music. Here an atmosphere should be created, which gives the viewer the opportunity, to lean back and relax a little and get caught and amazed by the visual.
