Editorial Review:
The quality and breadth of most of the material found here on "Center Stage," the first volume of the three-disc Elvis: The Great Performances set, typifies the excellence of the set as a whole. Spanning more than 20 years, from Presley's first TV appearance (in 1956) to one of his very last concerts (in June 1977), the disc includes some truly rockin' tunes (OK, so the '77 solo version of "Unchained Melody," with a painfully bloated Elvis pounding out his own piano accompaniment, isn't one of them--but "Ready Teddy," from a '56 Ed Sullivan show, sure is). There's some fascinating other material as well, such as a screen test in which Presley lip-syncs "Blue Suede Shoes" while "playing" a guitar with no strings, a 1970 press conference in which he dismisses his classic Sun recordings as "funny-sounding," and some very cool home movie footage. The King is dead (well, maybe). Long live the King. --Sam Graham

Elvis The Great Performances vol. 1 center stage 
2007-02-06 - I love this dvd, I am crazy about Elvis whole career. I bought it most for the unchained melody song, boy he could still do it right to the end. Great dvd.
great videos
2004-11-20 - Have all three videos and love each one especially the third. The live performance of the song Love Me is great. It shows the true early Elvis at his best.
Elvis Presley sings songs from movies and tv specials 
2002-11-11 - Center Stage focus on Elvis Presley carrer in the 50's, and shows songs that Elvis Presley perfromed from The Dorsey Brothers, Stage Show to The Ed Sullivan Show. Elvis appeared on Ed's show 3 times, the first time he perfromed from Hollywood and Ed Sullivan was recoving from a car crash. And you can also hear Elvis Presely singing songs from his first 4 movies, from Love Me Tender to King Creole. Two of the four movies Elvis made, got good reviews, and was consired his best. And they were Jailhouse Rock and King Creole.
