I would choose Aloha From Hawaii because that is history, performing live in front of the whole world.

I learned very early in life that without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend; without a song. So I keep singing a song." - Elvis Presley

I'd say 'That's the way it is' simply because of the way he was then. He was mentally and Physically at his best and he looked/performed wonderfully. He was on an all-time high and would have loved to have shared that with him

Any time he was alone with Ann-Margret !
Getlo - cute'n'cuddly
I thought he looked the happiest and healthiest during the TTWII filming.

Probably some time in the fifties....as the records started selling and he could still drive around town in his car.you could just see the energy bursting out of him back then....and he knew that some of his dreams were coming true.I love the innocence of those days.
When Lisa-Marie came to life. Becoming a father was very important to him. He was healthy and happy.
Goodbye Rosanne...Your "family" in TCB will always remember you.
I would have loved to seen him coming off the stage on July 31, 1969 and viewed the rest of that evening with him.
When elvis was around his mom, l would like to been there.
Agreed.Any time he was alone with Ann-Margret !

MEETING:
Mid 60's. When he was going off on his spiritual quests. This point in his life was also just far enough along for him to have a youthful energy and naivete, but also just far enough along that he'd seen and done enough to have formed strong opinions on things. I'd loved to have had a deep talk with Elvis in this era.
PERFORMANCE:
I can't decide out of the Comeback Special and Vegas 69. Why I say that is because the Comeback Special gives you killer performances and unrivalled intimacy (it's very hippie-ish -- all those people round the little stage), but Vegas 69 gives you scale, flash, glamour, anticipation, eccentricity; all things that seem part and parcel of the Elvis experience.
1957 dancing the jailhouse rock haha
he looked pretty cool with that pompadour too
July 31st 1969 - Opening night at the International, when you hear recordings from this period it simply has a drive that was even curbed by the time TTWII came round
Any show from That's The Way It Is - this for me is Elvis at the top of his game, the show had been honed, it was polished, professional & a real showcase.
9th - 11th june 1972 - Madison Square Gardens, another mile stone - the Adonis in action.
Aloha shows - The jumpsuited pinnacle.
June 26th 1977 - purely because of the signifcance.
August 15th.............and I would check myself in Baptist Memorial asap.
In the bathroom on august 16. Finally I would see the rest of the bathroom...
In the beginning ;when he started at Sun Records. He was full of hope, excitement and it all lay ahead for him. He still dreamed, hoped and had a blast.
"I have learned never to ridicule any man's opinion, however strange it may seem."
at the recording of suspicous minds
i agree with kpm JULY 31ST 1969!
1969 july 31st, will we ever see anything?? sob sob!
It would be hard to argue with that...I will always regret not being there in the summer of 70. By August of 71 the show had changed alot from TTWII...
