Actually, a review of the tv special. Much of what was discussed was old news-easily available in Guralnick’s fine bio CARELESS LOVE and Jerry Hopkin’s ELVIS:THE FINAL YEARS. While it was interesting to hear some of it from Lisa and Priscilla, it still presents it from one point of view. According to most involved, Elvis’s wife was seeing Mike Stone for quite some time before she left Elvis, aided by several of Elvis’ freinds and their wives- a detail she conveniently left out for understandable reasons. It would be interesting to see what is included on the dvd but left out of the tv show-although I suspect the best they had to offer was already aired.

It was Okay, I think it should have had more Lisa and
less Priscilla. Elvis and Priscilla were divorced and she
does have a boyfriend and son, which she never mentions. I
think she don’t want to give up the Presley name. It seemed
instead of talking about Elvis, Priscilla was defending
herself from all the stories that have been told about her.
She said she divorced Elvis because you can’t serve two
masters, and it was for the baby. Yeah right, she was living
with Mike Stone in an apartment. She forgets, People remember!
When they sat down at the table, Priscilla was in Elvis’
chair. I think they should have left it empty, and at the
end Lisa should have said the last song was the one Elvis
finished his concerts with and went to the empty chair.
Lisa should have been hosting the show, not her mother.

I think most Elvis fans want a reason to like Priscilla. She gives us one in this DVD. Priscilla, all grown up – older and wiser, now shares her private times with Elvis. Any fool can watch this DVD and see that Elvis was deeply in love with Priscilla. When she is near him in the home movies, his face lights up, and he shows happiness. Priscilla – if you love Elvis, then love his God. Not a cult created by a science fiction writer.
Priscilla’s parents – what a delight! I enjoyed them talking about Elvis. They seem to be everyday people, and Priscilla’s father was having a great time talking about Elvis.
Patsy Presley – still a beauty! I’m interested in anything and everything this woman has to say. She knew Elvis from the very beginning. I’d like to have seen more of Elvis’ family speak. And I would like to have seen more of Graceland inside and out. Maybe next time.
Lisa Presley – I’m not interested in anything she has to say. Most Elvis fans are very disappointed in Lisa’s interviews with her vulgar and trashy language. Why would Elvis Presley’s daughter lower herself to appear on the Howard Stern show and use the explicit sexual language she used? She is not going to be the one to continue her father’s legacy. Elvis fans are already angry that his own daughter sold him for millions of dollars. Something just doesn’t add up about Lisa. There is something very wrong here.
What is going to happen to Elvis when Priscilla is gone? Who is going to be there to protect him the way she does? Who is going to take care of business the way she does? Elvis fans say, it won’t be Lisa – or her children. One day Priscilla will leave this earth, and many Elvis fans say Graceland will be sold – for millions of course.

I taped this special when it aired last Friday, and I finnaly got to see it yesterday. And I can’t believe that it has been released on dvd already, and it should be bound to be on vhs too. That had to be either same time, or quicker time then when the Freinds series final arrived on dvd. Elvis Presley’s ex-wife Priscilla Presley reminisces about her life with Elvis Presley. Also featured is their only daugther Lisa Marie, along with Priscialla’s step father and mother Paul and Ann Beaulieu, and one of his best friends also talks during this special, but this especily minus other of his freinds like Charlie Hodge, and Joe Esposito. If you love the king, this migth be a dvd to add to your colelction, but please check it out first before you add it on. Elvis Presley, his father, and Elvis’ manger Tom Parker, are seen on and heard on tape. I just and laways have to wonder what happened between Elvis and Hollywood, after he returned from the army, since before he left that he had 3 dramas, and his first movie which was a western, before he got stuck doing this musical comedies, and very rearely had a drama since.

This is another creative way of making money. Same old story with same old stuff except for a few home movie clips which were shown over and over again. The documentary is mostly about the “Elvis-Priscilla” times. Maybe you (not me) might like to know the fact that Elvis & Priscilla once used LSD or that he would not make love to her anymore…blah…blah…blah…
I wish for a documentary by Scotty Moore or the other musicians that toured and recorded with Elvis during the early years. That’s what I am interested: the young, the energetic and creative ELVIS.
