The remade That's the Way It Is, using lots of footage shot for the original but unused at the time, is a fantastic experience, which shows Elvis at his peak. He looks and sounds fabulous.

The documentary begins with a riveting concert excerpt, then takes us back to preparations, first in Los Angeles (July 1970) and then Las Vegas (August).

The excitement builds as rehearsals take place, and the International Hotel's main showroom is readied for the big opening. During all of this, we hear a wide range of great music and get to share the interaction between Elvis and his support musicians and vocalists.

Then, the performance itself - a stunning, mesmerising tour de force which showcases not only the man's great talent but his charm and charisma. This is clearly shown in the faces and reactions of the audience, especially when Elvis leaves the stage and walks around the aisles, obviously enjoying himself. Indeed, his sense of fun runs like a thread throughout the movie and helps make it a wonderfully complete experience.

That's the Way It Is should not be missed.

Disc No 2 - Very disappointing - Not Dolby Digital - Concert and complete disc only 1 speaker sound.

Please answer if this is to be so?

DVD is excellent. Elvis performing and interacting with the audience is a lot of fun to watch. Also, it's interesting to watch the process as he and the band/backup singers prepare for the Vegas show. Highly recommend. March 10, 2008

Elvis' concert film of his Las Vegas act. Elvis had a way of owning the songs he sang. His movies made money but hurt his career. As the movies phased out, the era of the white jumpsuit began. Elvis dug in at the International Hotel in August, 1969. "Suspicious Minds" climbed to #1. He was back, giving The Beatles all they could handle. He performed at the International (now the Las Vegas Hilton) and did shows around the country for the next 8 years.
