The Daily Tar Heel published a favorable review of the special, remarking on the change since Presley's heyday, declaring: "Elvis still has magic." [42] Lowry, Cynthia (December 4, 1968).

In a mastering job comparable to Warner Bros' recent treatment of screen classics The Adventures of Robin Hood and others, Elvis Presley Enterprises in collaboration with Complete Post has given this material an extreme makeover. Flaws that have become second nature in past video releases are delightfully eliminated; colors are stunningly accurate (especially skintones and the shine of the legendary Bill Belewleather suit) and grain has been mostly exorcised without compromising quality. Audience members standout like never before along with tiny details like fingerprints on Scotty Moore's guitar (which Elvis borrows during the informal jam sessions) and beads of perspiration that cover the superstar's face come across with surprising clarity. Though very minor detriments remain, they are not enough to mar one of the finest video refurbishings of '60s-era television material to surface to date, courtesy of producer-editor Ray Miller; hats off to him and his staff for a job well done.

The concert was initially planned as a Christmas special by the network and Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker. Producer Bob Finkel hired director Steve Binder, who, rather than creating a Christmas special, created a concert that would reflect the musical trends of the time and appeal to a younger audience. Filming took place in June 1968 at NBC Studios in Burbank, California. The special included a sit-down session that showcased Presley in an informal setting, surrounded by fans and a small band.

In 1968 Elvis Presley was breathtakingly handsome and his vocal style was honed to perfection. It was the task of art director Eugene 'Gene' McAvoy to design the showcase that would frame Elvis visually for the audience. From the opening scene of Elvis and the 89 guitar men in silhouette (or 89 boys as they were called in the script) to the finale with Elvis standing in front of his name in lights, Mr. McAvoy provided sets that complimented the star and the story. Claude Thompson did double duty as the makeup artist and one of the choreographers. His makeup talents were used in the 1956 movie 'Around the World in Eighty Days' and in TV series such as 'The High Chaparral' and 'Little House On the Prairie'. While his choreography can be seen in the 1976 movie 'King Kong' and the 1985 movie 'The Color Purple'. All fans must agree that 1968 'Saved' Elvis' career, so no need to explain why the producers of this DVD called it: 'I'M SAVED'Media Control staff (2011).

On June 3, 1968 Elvis began working with Binder and Howe at their offices. As they got to know Elvis better and saw how deeply he was affected by the June 6th death of Robert Kennedy, Steve Binder was inspired to ask songwriter Earl Brown, who was writing arrangements for the show, to write an inspirational song for the finale. That song would become the much loved If I Can Dream. ('...if I can dream of a better land where all my brothers walk hand in hand...') The gospel section also has been re-done including rare alternate footage and performances. All songs have been re-edited.

His first thought was to film it in the dressing room but later changed the location to an informal gathering with an audience. This portion has since become known as the two sit-down shows.

It was actually Al Casey's beautiful red Hagsrom guitar that Elvis used in the opening scenes. Bones Howe had spotted it in Mr. Casey's instrument trunk and thought that the bright red guitar with its gold hardware would be perfect for the scene. Hagstrom's were made in Alvadalen, Sweden between 1958 and 1983 and were known for their fine quality. This particular instrument is now owned by a casino corporation out of Illinois.
