I thought this was good. It’s always so sad to view Elvis docs. The *** colonel really ruined his life. Elvis died so young and that carney barker lived to ripe old age . And the damage this life did to the family. Priscilla is weird and has issues with her looks. Lisa Marie and her son are dead. And boy are there some crazy true stories. 
My God he was just the most beautiful man in the world at times, as seen in the 68 comeback special. What Conan said at then brought tears to my eyes.

I loved this, especially the long footage of the special. Whatever that is that he had really translates through the screen in that footage and he looked amazing.

I watched the comeback special numerous times as a kid, so it was really interesting to watch this and get the background.  LOL at Priscilla seeing him come alive on stage and thinking "I'm married to him?"  And at her recounting the Beatles coming to the house, with John and Paul just staring at him, so Elvis said, "Well, if you're not going to talk," and turned on the TV.
