Elvis
Donderdag 22 december zendt Veronica om 20.30 uur Elvis By The Presleys uit. Elvis By The Presleys is een kijkje in het leven van Elvis in documentaire-vorm. Deze docu is voor een groot deel samengesteld uit nog niet eerder vertoond materiaal afkomstig uit de archieven van Graceland zoals home-videos, interviews, concertopnamen en beelden van achter de schermen. Het laat zien hoe Elvis Presley was als vader, echtgenoot en vriend. Zijn leven wordt verteld door ex-vrouw Priscilla, dochter Lisa Marie, familie en vrienden.

Vervolgens komt omstreeks 21.45 uur Elvis: The ?68 Come Back Special aan bod. In 1968 was het alweer zeven jaar geleden dat Elvis voor een live publiek had opgetreden. Dat moest veranderen en wel met dit optreden. Zijn show, uitgezonden op tv, was zo goed bekeken dat het het grootste evenement van dat jaar werd. Dit betekende ook meteen de ?comeback? van Elvis in de muziekwereld. De avond wordt besloten met Elvis: Aloha From Hawa?. Dit concert vond plaats op Hawa? in The Honolulu International Center Arena op 14 januari 1973. Elvis was met dit optreden de eerste artiest op aarde die van de satelliet gebruik maakte om een concert wereldwijd live uit te zenden.

Thanks CBC,

Too bad it's always the same old stuff, right? Except for Elvis By The Presleys, okay... Heavily edited probably, just as Aloha the last time around.

Sonny

[EnigmaticSun]

Same old stuff? There should be at least some interesting footage and sound on both the Comeback Special and the Aloha show..?

I think we're actually making progress here - Veronica is a typical station for 'the young and the wild, who live fast and die young' - know what I mean?

It is usually an accepted thesis that Elvis is neither hip, nor Britney Spears enough for boys and girls of my generation - but it appears that the ageless qualities of the King are finally being noticed by 'the young ones'.

[boogie]

It's a good thing they will put this on the program....(y)
shut be every year......

ComebackCh; spijtig kan ik veronica in belgie niet ontvangen:'(

[Sonny]

Not what I meant exactly I'm afraid.

It's cool to have our man on tv, no doubt about that. But the Veronica station (as most commercial stations everywhere) have to deal with a strict time schedule obviously and because of that they choose to program something but heavily edit the broadcast at the same time.

That's why I referred to the editing part in my first post. I say, if you don't feel you have the time don't present it to your viewers at all!

My other remark is concerning the fact they give us (the fans, we are the ones waiting for Elvis, right?) the same movies or concerts over and over again.
Aloha was on the same network in August! And it wasn't much fun to watch with songs and dialogue cut!

But, I'm with you when you say it's a very good thing that Elvis is upthere along with the likes of Spears and Williams! Very nice indeed!

There was a very nice add in the Veronica magazine. I will put it up here in a couple of minutes.

Here's the add from Veronica magazine number 49.

[Wendy56]

You're lucky people! Elvis tv-shows as Xmas presents. (y) :cold:
I like the idea of watching all those programs about my dear Elvis. Here in M?xico it's almost the same. We are able (only) to watch movies or anything else referred to the "king" on august or maybe january. Same movies and concerts.
We (fans) are lucky if national networks prepare their own tv-shows, but as usual, they only display same photos, same music and same all that stuff. :)

I'd love to find on t.v other sides of Elvis... I hope you understand what I mean. On Cable (paied t.v), I've seen interesting and sometimes crazy shows from differents countries, specially USA... about Elvis. So, it's not that bad. :P

I'm glad when I see or hear anything referred to :king: Whether is on the radio, t.v or newspapers. :cool:

[bogarcon]

well, on December 30th, the CBS mini-series ``Elvis`` will be on the air on the TQS channel in french from the Montreal (quebec) station. It will be a 4 hours special! How lucky are we...have a nice day, bogarcon;)

[ComeBackChick]

Makes me wonder, what would be an ideal Elvis TV night?

Any ideas?:hmm:

It would definetely have to include TTWII!!

[Albert]

Although I won't watch myself, I always find it a cool idea that Elvis is on tv and probably also will be watched by non-Elvisfans :D

[EnigmaticSun]

Thank you for explaining on that subject, Sonny. I do think that you're right; they shouldn't skip monologues and songs! There's so much Elvis to see and hear..

It's very nice to see that Elvis isn't forgotten in these troubled times out of which there will emerge a New World Order; another reason to be proud of him.

[ComeBackChick]

Although I won't watch myself, I always find it a cool idea that Elvis is on tv and probably also will be watched by non-Elvisfans :D

I feel the same! At least he is on TV and will attract a whole new generation of fans! :cool:

But we oldies have seen it all, LOL, heck, we own it all!!!

[Sonny]

Here's a new Veronica magazine add!

[ComeBackChick]

NICE!!!!:clap: :notworthy

[Tommy]

Nice photo on the add. I saved it. Something I'll never see again. (y)

Thank you CBC for posting this thread!(y)

Thank you,

Tommy :)

[ComeBackChick]

Bump
Bump

[Elvos]

[ComeBackChick]

[Elvos]

Nice , at the end of the 68 special , they used if I can dream 2004 edit with the leather suit footage trough it! and nice comercial
for the dvd box..

[Elvos]

Thnk you Veronica for having made a few Dutch Elvisfans more.....:king:

[Cherokee]

Since I refused to buy "Elvis by the Beaulieus" when it first hit the stores, I can't judge what they edited out. I watched it and of course it was Pris' reworked version of the truth, but - different than I expected - it wasn't as negative about Elvis as I feared. I suppose they edited those things out?:hmm:

[P.S. Annie]

It was great to see him all evening on the tele. :cool:

actally it IS different then I thought it would be, and I do have the dvd, and it still is good...

[Sonny]

I agree it was a very good broadcast last night!

The 68 Comeback was compiled of footage taken from the Special Edition dvd box and was just great to watch!

Sonny

[TCE]

Well I watched and I had a great night. First of all I never saw Elvis by the Presley's (Although I have the DVD.) It was a great doc. I must say. Now non-Elvisfans can finally see and hear how Elvis was, so that they better understand the man Elvis. I sometimes had a hard time and had to cry hard. Especially When they talked about the final days of Elvis life (and they showed Elvis last concert, singing My way.) and about the way they still celebrate Christmas like they did when Elvis was alive. Only with one difference: Elvis is missing. I always feel an emptyness, because I still miss Elvis a lot and Christmas is special to me too, because it's also my birthday. sadly I have three empty places now. My mum died in 1994,one brother died in 2003 and my dad died this year. So I can understand how the Presley's must feel. I mean, I can feel their pain. Ofcource, the comeback special is great. Whowee :cool: Mann, does he look great there. And The Alaha from Hawaii is just awsome. I melt everytime I see him there. wow.
It would be nice indeed if they would broadcast other concerts too or doc's like: Elvis, he touche me or TTWII or movies like: Charro, Change of habit etc.

Be safe and take care,
