  • This is Elvis' return to stage performances after 9 years absence, at The International, Las Vegas, 1969.
    This audio is the earliest recording we have of Elvis' come back. It is the dinner show of August 3rd, 1969.
    Elvis made his comeback 3 days earlier on July 31st.
    Unlike later performances in this season, Elvis sounds refreshingly young and still nervous performing live here for the sixth time in front of an audience. He delivers all the songs with a real interest and edge. There is a sincerity and freshness here that is lost in his later performances, as he became more familiar and confident with his set and the Vegas audience.
    Elvis never sounded better than his 1969 run at Vegas.
    This recording, undoubtedly, proves this.
    Enjoy.
    Opening Theme
    Blue Suede Shoes
    I Got A Woman

    He sounds fantastic! It makes me feel so sad though. In 1969 Elvis was on top of the world, done with the movies he hated, back on stage where he wanted to be - he looked beautiful, he sounded great, what could possibly go wrong? It's the saddest story.....

      I am 46, born in Sept 1975. When he passed, I wasn't nearly old enough to even be aware of him. But when I turned 17, I became a DJ, and explored all types of music (my parents were in a band together so I'm sure that helped). Elvis is SUCH an influence on me, even in 2022. I'm going to Vegas the first week of April 2022 for a marketing conference, but you best believe I'm hitting up EVERY BIT of Elvis-ness while I'm there. Unfortunately, so many Elvis exhibits and museums have closed since my last visit in 2018, but I'm bound and determined to pay tribute to E while I'm in Vegas next month!

    It’s criminal that all these early Vegas shows weren’t filmed, this is historic, our greatest entertainer at the height of his powers. This is better than than ttwis. just can’t believe someone didn’t make sure all these shows were filmed. This isn’t the Elvis of the seventies going through the motions. This is other worldly, such a shame there isn’t more video.

      No point, why film it if only to show it on tv, Elvis wanted people to pay to see him perform, hence why interviews were very rare.
      Hence why he was so highly paid, he certainly didn't want at the time anyone filming it, and it ending up on cheap picture house showings.
      It really was a case of you wanna see him then pay.

    • @adrinathegreat3095
      @adrinathegreat3095 Před rokem +3

      ​@@sopala3952Elvis would have gone crazy he wanted people to pay to see him, not have some cheap asses going to a cheap picture house and paying ten cents to see him on a big screen.
      Its a money driven industry, very early shows were recorded purely for promotional purposes.
      Later ones were because of the possibility then of releasing on video.
      There's some rare home movie recordings that also weren't allowed, Elvis had his hench men out looking for anyone in the audience that had a cine camera.
      You don't buy half a dozen caddys or Harvey's for your friends like the rest of us buy a round of drinks by letting people have something for free.
      You give something for free infront of the media so everyone knows, no promotion when nobody knows .
      It's all done for money, if people aren't paying they aren't earning..
      The reason he never gave a free show in the army was for a similar reason, he'd do the show for free the military would film it and automatically own the copyright being government.
      Therefore they'd be able to show it so people could see him but not pay him.
      So no deal, I'll do my time, uncle sam ain't getting anything from me for free, i didn't choose to join, i had no god damn choice..

    This may be his best live concert & I have heard them all. In the Ghetto & Suspicious Minds are outstanding. The band & chorus are not overkilling his vocals like during his later concerts. The fact this was not recorded is one of the greatest musical tragedies ever. His Pearl Harbor Performance as well can be included in this. Live in Hawaii got him at the beginning of the end. Long live the G.O.A.T ( Greatest Of All Time) and The King!👍🏻🙏🏻💗

    • @keetonplace
      @keetonplace Před 8 měsíci +2

      You got that right. It is beyond my comprehension that Parker didn't record that '61 Pearl Harbor concert to raise funds and bring awareness to needing the monument built. Elvis did it and the money started pouring in with a Grant also from President Kennedy. That concert is so phenomenal...and not recorded. And these Vegas shows of '69 were out of this world brilliant. I was there in August at a midnight show. This should be on tape. Parker was a dope. Missed chances for history. And pure enjoyment.

      You are totally correct in your comment on that their will be another singer or performer like Elvis Presley not even in the next thousand years , as he was the best performer of the 20th century. He had the greatest voice even right up to his last concert his singing was still great , we , I mean the world lost the King of Rock n Roll at the age of only 42 years old , imagine all the music we could have got from him if you lived to say 70 years old , what a loss of all those greats records he could have made in that time.

    I was actually born the night of his August 2, 1969 performance here....that explains alot to me about how crazy I am about Elvis...lol...I had the chance to stand on the actual stage he stood on just two weeks ago....it was an anniversary present to me from my husband to take me to the very hotel that Elvis helped to build...The International Hilton, now known as the Westgate Resort & Casino, and I took the tour of his hotel suite on the 30th floor...I will never ever forget it and the feeling I felt standing there on the stage, alone with just two employees who actually allowed me in, they were not allowed to but they knew how much it would mean to me as a huge Elvis Fan......they told me that many people wont go down to the stage at night, that things have happened there, and the employees get spooked, and some have seen shadows and things....when I walked in there, my hair on the back of my neck stood on end, and I had shivers all over my body...the place was electric.....in the dead of night....we had just arrived to the hotel....and my husband and I were being nosy and went to the door and opened it....thats when the employees were surprised by my presence....they took me on the tour.....and I will never forget it.....love you Elvis Presley....you were such a gift to us.

    When I want to remember Elvis, this the Elvis I choose to remember. I 10 years old when this was recorded and it was the movie That's The Way It Is when I became a fan. I remember seeing some of his movies on T.V. before that, but The Way It Is I saw in the theater when it first came out and I believe it was the first movie I ever saw in a theater. Forty seven years later I raised 4 children ,started a business and sold my business ect. After selling my business I spent the last 6 months studying Elvis. Thanks to You Tube I have been been able to watching and listening everything avalable on Elvis. I been able to go as far back as 1955 and listen to Elvis sing and do interviews. Without a doubt Elvis is the most influential entertainer and one of the top ten men of the 20th century and beyond. His influence is present today in Bruno Mars and other and who knows how many high profile people have learned from his mistakes.

    I'm retired now and a day doesn't go by that I don't spend a couple hours on my iPad listening to him. Sometimes I spend a whole day! I love watching his live performances and reading about him! The only pleasure I have since my husband passed! He's my guilty pleasure! I get so angry when I think how Parker pushed him to the brink of despair. He was so talented and could've been a great actor! Parker just saw him as a cash cow and robbed him blind! Not only taking 50% of his earnings but also making other money off Elvis that Elvis didn't get. He also wouldn't let Elvis take songs written by anybody unless they turned over the rights. Can you imagine how many more great songs he could have had? No wonder he was depressed! I think if his mom had lived even 10 years longer, things might've been different for him! His daddy was just seeing dollar signs and not looking out for his son?

Not saying Parker wasn't a complete asshole, but Elvis was a man and he wasn't stupid.

      (With Sandra)…the new Elvis movie portrays it perfectly, I have over 35 years of studying Elvis, have over 50 books on him with over 10 perspectives and all say the same, he was financially abused as revealed in court several years after his death , I am 57 years old, have been to Graceland and going again this year, I even sang Hound Dog in 1979 with my guitar and dog, in front of a huge audience winning an under 18 talent show, my mother was a huge fan, one of the most sought after classical pianists of her time, and saw him on the Hayride. Elvis WAS a victim of the “Colonel Parker’s” greed and unpaid gambling debts, an illegal immigrant “….Elvis was a victim, you can be a “man” and still be a victim…. you cannot see everything always, Elvis hired a manager thinking he could trust him to take care of his finances so he could focus on his job, like anyone would hire a CPA. Tom may have opened a door to spark a quick flame but Elvis’ voice and self
      was the key to his longtime success and popularity. He could have easily made it without that leech. He basically stole from Elvis and it was too late before it all surfaced. I believe Elvis died prematurely because of Mr. Parker’s selfish slave driving ways to pay off his gambling debts and allow him to continue to gamble. Elvis trusted an animal who betrayed him

    In 1969 I'd gotten out of the Navy a year before and was planning to quit my job and attend the University of Arizona on the GI Bill. I heard Elvis was going to make his big comeback in Vegas at the International so being as I grew up on his music in the 50's I decided to just take a break and go to Vegas and see him live for the first time. Well I spent about two week there and probably went to a dozen of his shows during that time. It was great and he was even better than I realized. What a voice and what a performer. I agree, he was at his best during this time before the non-stop touring and unhealthy lifestyle took it's toll.
