1. If I Can Dream + Bonus DVD
'If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra DVD is an incredible release, where hours and hours were put into research for new ideas creating an exceptional feel which fits the audio perfectly! Many clips have a 'split-screen' feature, where the 'storytelling' clips look even better. All audio is 100 percent in sync with the footage!
The whole program is presented in 'Black and White', and it works!
Presented in full WIDESCREEN.
Burning Love: The opening blows you away, and you get right into the mood, footage of Elvis AND the R.P.O. is combined to create a new rocking experience!
Heartbreak Hotel: previously unreleased for non-U.K. buyers, this clip shows early footage and pictures of our man on stage as well as in the studio, this is the first a 'split-screen' clip.
It's Now Or Never: The producers took a risk here, using the 1977 version for the footage, but due to the overall 'Black and White' feature, they did a pretty good job here!
Fever: What can we say about this .. WOW!! An outstanding job has been done on this clip.. it all makes sense; from the opening bars, featuring an actual trumpet player, right to the end this is fabulous! Footage from both Elvis as Michael Buble has been used, and this is one of the many highlights of the release. Another 'split-screen' clip.
Bridge Over Troubled Water: August 11, 1970, D.S. footage has been re-done to make an enjoyable clip, totally in synch.
Love Me Tender: Presented in 'split-screen' again, this tells the love story of Elvis and Priscilla, from the army years right down to when she's being carried over the threshold!
And The Grass Won't Pay No Mind: 'The moment we're living Is now' ... let's go back in time and enjoy the many relaxing moments of the couple in their most private times, again in split-screen, making it more alive when seeing multiple angles of the same events.
Steamroller Blues: Time to rock now! Footage from both Aloha shows combined to one hell of a performance!
In The Ghetto: Great 'TTWII' live performance edited to perfection! Watch out for Elvis 'Vicious Circle' stance at the beginning and end ... it's a loop ...
You've Lost That Loving Feeling: Another 'TTWII' live performance edited to perfection, just watch the ending and try to find out what has been used to make it fit!
Can't Help Falling In Love: Nice! Elvis 'tribute' to Lisa Marie, goes beyond time, footage of young Lisa, older Lisa Marie and Lisa 'now' shows a very moving clip, at the end please take a look at how much she looks like daddy. The 'split-screen' feature works like magic, with lots of interaction.
How Great Thou Art: This heavenly clip combines Elvis with 'Divine' footage, this will blow you away, and shows again the creativity of the producers. 'split-screen'
An American Trilogy: Elvis' story is being told here, matching the words of the song ... 'Where I was born' shows Tupelo ... 'Daddy's bound to die' shows Elvis on his last tour ... and then after the drama ... we're being showed Elvis is eternal, Number One Hits, Live shows after his death, and a new Guesthouse proves, ... 'His truth is marching on' ('split-screen')
What Now My Love: 'Now that You left Me (us)' Very moving footage of Elvis singing the song combined with footage of the funeral ... 'No one would care ... no one would cry ... if I should live or die' mmmm ... . Watch the footage!
Anything That's Part Of You: The fans 'Go all the places, that he went' nice short clip from a fan's point of view, trying to hold on to the King.
If I Can Dream: Title track of the DVD, the producers used the 'Stand Up' versions on this, with lots of nice new edits ending in the White Suit.
With over one hour of BRANDNEW edits, this release will leave you wanting more ... It's impossible to get all its features in one watch ... but guess what ... just press 'Play' and you can see it again ... and again ... and again ... ...
2. The Wonder Of You + Bonus DVD
When no one else can understand you.... when everything you do is wrong...
HE gives you consolation, HE gives you the strength to carry on...
Elvis: 'Memories' (The Wonder Of You DVD) (03:17)
Many fans were surprised by last years 'If I Can Dream' DVD release, already considered to be one of the best Elvis releases ever, mainly because the new inventive approach they did on lots of the tracks, making them more 'alive' than ever. So there was an overload of requests to do this follow-up, and now it is ready to blow you away!
This amazing set includes 16 tracks, edited to perfection.
Presented in glorious 'Black and White' to obtain the same 'feel' as the first edition.
Again some 'split-screen' clips are used for a more 'story-telling' experience.
Again, highlights are hard to pick, since all tracks are very fitting and stand on their own.
Elvis: I've Got A Thing About You Baby (The Wonder Of You DVD) (02:35)
This amazing set includes 16 tracks, edited to perfection.
Presented in glorious 'Black and White' to obtain the same 'feel' as the first edition.
Again some 'split-screen' clips are used for a more 'story-telling' experience.
Again, highlights are hard to pick, since all tracks are very fitting and stand on their own.
We will name a few though:
A Big Hunk O' Love
The first sounds of the orchestra sound like 'panic', what's happening...
Elvis is on his way, That's What's happening! Incredible scenes 'help' Elvis to get on stage, and bursting into this rocking song, footage of both Elvis and the Orchestra are included.
Don't
Nice little clip of this 1957 song, Elvis was 22 when he recorded this, (sorry Cilla) and did a nice rehearsal version in 1970, which is used here, along with some 'funny' moment of the same period.
Elvis: 'An American Trilogy' 'Live' (The Wonder Of You BONUS disc DVD) (04:19)
I've Got A Thing About You Baby
What a great opening was included on this track.... sounds familiar doesn't it..?
The opening (bass) bars of the 1957 'Baby I Don't Care' were recreated, and every fan immediately is reminded of this great song. I bet some even 'see' Elvis opening his arms at the pool in the great 'Jailhouse Rock' scene...
This has been taken to the next level, with actual footage, to make an outstanding modern clip. Elvis can't get this girl out of his head, he has 'A thing' for 'Judy Tyler'... great clip, including trumpets ...watch the moves!
Love Letters
Elvis takes his 'package' of 'Love Letters' jumps on the bed, and starts reading... lyrics fly around as if we are 'in his head' Nice little romantic clip, proves once again the producers can make something... out of nothing...
Suspicious Minds
Here we get a very different approach... or maybe not, cause this REALLY tells the story of the song, and finally the 'fairytale' Priscilla loves to tell, is being shown as it happened, she did divorce him, maybe someone needs to tell her...
Kentucky Rain
Wow.. how did this happen.??... this is the story as he sings it... well almost...
Great edits of lots and lots (and lots) of Elvis movies are included here, starting with a scene where he actually 'reaches out, and finds her gone' in the end, it is all a bad dream ...
You really get the feeling he is 'Searching' for this girl that left him.... and there is lots of
(Kentucky) RAIN! Rated: 10 out of 10!!
Always On My Mind
A very unusual version this time, different angles and rehearsal footage used here, some not from the actual song, but it al works out just fine. When seeing this you can't help but think it is almost new footage presented.
Starting Today
'Gonna learn to forget you' ... Elvis picks up the pieces left behind him...
Little sad clip but nice to see him in 'karate' action and looking back on his failed marriage...
I Just Can't Help Believin'
Elvis luck in Love was not on his side... A tribute to Linda Thompson is presented...
Hoping 'This time the girl is gonna stay' we see nice pics of Linda and Elvis, this song fits the footage very well, including rare live performances, and even some backstage.
Let It Be Me
Like 'The Wonder of You' this really is about Elvis and his fans, showing rare footage and cool edits, of the love from our man to us and back.
'Each time we meet love, I find complete love' wherever he goes, there are fans, whenever fans visit his houses, there is Elvis... NOW AND FOREVER. LET IT BE ELVIS!!
