this video is comprised of footage originally shot for elvis' 1968 tv special, elvis, commonly referred to as the '68 special or the '68 comeback. the original special stands as one of the great television moments in rock music history and a stunningly brilliant milestone in elvis presley's career. at the heart of the show was an informal sit-down jam session reuniting elvis with early bandmates scotty moore and d.j. fontana, accompanied by elvis' long-time friends and associates alan fortas and charlie hodge. they perform, they reminisce, they laugh in a relaxed, intimate setting in front of a small audience. only parts of this jam session were used in the final edit of the television special. in 1984, steve binder, who was the show's original producer/director, and his associate claude ravier produced an expanded version of this jam session segment, restoring much of what had been edited out in the interest of air time in 1968. this new edition of the jam session segment first aired in 1985 as an hbo special all its own entitled elvis, one night with you and was later released on home video. it's an excellent companion to the regular program which is available on home video as elvis, '68 comeback special.
collector's note: elvis' performance of are you lonesome tonight has been deleted from this edition of the video package. music publishing clearance from the song's owners was up for renewal and agreement for its continued use could not be reached. soundtrack recordings from this show, without the song deletion, are available with newly re-mastered sound on cd's and tapes from rca records.
