  I love the restoration presented here, it is excellent, it looks natural, it's as if it was filmed yesterday, I think that Elvis would have been amazed and honored to see what is being done to push forward his craftsmanship and talent. I would definitively go watch it in cinema and I hope that your suggestion inspires someone to restore the whole 68 Comeback Special. Thank you for showing us your restauration!✌❤

  I like what you did René, I don't mind the footage being up graded to 4K or 8K or blue ray, As long as it doesn't make him look plastic like some I've seen out there. I'd like to see all of his footage enhanced and I'd love to see it in IMAX Theaters on the 50th Anniversary of his Passing. ❤

  I must say, you&apos;ve done a fantastic job of it without making it look fake or tacky.<br>I was always told it couldn&apos;t be remastered as it was originally recorded on video tape as opposed to 35mm film. Maybe Peter Jackson who remastered the Beatles &apos;Let it be&apos; &nbsp;film could work his magic with it. Well done 👏

  Anything that makes him look so realistic is fine by me. I watch everything Elvis I can. &nbsp; Thanks. Rene. &nbsp; Hi from. Aus.

  What is the MOST authentic is NOT grainy footage but Elvis LIVE in person in front of you. &nbsp;That is what we need today. &nbsp;We need to experience him as he was. &nbsp;This way, he becomes REAL for those who love him, and those who do not know him. &nbsp;Elvis deserves to live, because there was and never will be anyone like him again. &nbsp;Even MJ though he didn&apos;t want to admit it, took a lot from Elvis. &nbsp;As Lennon said ~ &quot;Before Elvis, there was nothing.&quot; &nbsp;If it weren&apos;t for Elvis, there would have been no inspiration or drive for the artists who followed to have picked up Rock n Roll for any reason at all. &nbsp;Elvis injected sex into what was on recordings and made it jump off the page and into what is tangible ~ what an individual personally experienced by all senses at once ~ his sound, movement, sent, feel, and taste.😢

  I think this is a great idea Rene, seeing better detail and sound is a winner. It would look fantastic on cinema screens. The only modern day change to Elvis I disagree with is AI that would be disrespectful. &nbsp;Love what you done with enhancement. &nbsp;Thankyou Rene 😊
