Awe...little brother.😪 This performance was only a few weeks before Elvis died. He put his heart and soul into it even though he was so ill.❤️
I won’t repeat what you’ve written. I agree with your remarks.
@@memphisflashfan1fr
This was so hard to watch. To know and see his lifetime of performances all rolled into this performance, his last live performance before he left this world. That man was truly a one of a kind all around loving, caring, generous, beautiful soul who just wanted everyone to love and care as he did and make a difference in this world! God Bless you Elvis Presley!!!
Try a few months
@@wolf-1346 6 weeks to be exact
Real men cry. Fake men don't cry. Never apologize for having a heart. That's how God meant all men to be. I'm not sure you knew Elvis died only weeks after this final performance. I remember the day he died, and this performance still makes me cry all those years later.
He was very sick, but the talent was always there. Made me cry too. You do a great job Pzo. Thanks
The Righteous Brothers Bobby Hatfield Made it famous in 1965 but Elvis put his Beautiful Spin on it, That man could sing ANYTHING and make it BEAUTIFUL...
So sad he's last performance he passed away 2 months later
this was his last FILMED performance June 21 -- his actual last was June 26th
Elvis was only in his 40’s, and he was dying-he was so so sick. Drugs were actually ruled out as a cause of death-he truly was extremely ill, but my god what a performance. This brings me to tears every time.
I hope you never let anyone tell you that tears are a sign of weakness.
The ability to feel deeply, to have great compassion, great empathy ...it's a truly profound gift.
You are so right when you said he lived for this . He loved performing for his fans ha was a master of the stage . Sadly he he also died from this , he performed so much like every other night despite terrible health and life style . Outside a body that was giving out on him , but inside his one of a kind powerful voice still remained .
I love how you defend Elvis as he catches his breath and tries to regroup. You are for sure one of his loyal fans now! Love your reaction to this beautiful touching song that brings tears to all of us that loved him unconditionally.
He was the greatest most real man with ungodly amounts of talents and big ol' heart to go with it. ♡
This is not an old Elvis.
This is a 42-year-old, very sick and drugged Elvis. Some weeks after that, he passed away.
I remember the day of his death like it was yesterday. To that day, I have never been as devastated as on August 16, 1977. I have been mourning for years. I still miss him.
He made this world a better place.
I remember the day.....horrible. Announcements posted on loud speaker in malls ....women passing out in the mall...I was 9 and in shock. Elvis was A BIG deal....and ESPECIALLY in the South.
I've cried to this song lots of times, but this time I cried because of your reaction to this moment. It was just six weeks before he past away. He was really sick, but his voice never failed him. It's powerful. He would have been 88 years of age yesterday. The sky took him too soon. I've seen his poor daughter Lisa Marie make a little speech for his birthday outside of what was their home, Graceland. Lisa lost her father at only nine years old and it's just the saddest tragedy. Elvis never believed he would be remembered and struggled a lot with that. We can only hope he knows how much he affected this world after he left. Discovering and watching Elvis, learning about him today, is keeping this man and his gift alive. I listened to Elvis back in high school, but it's only this past year at age 26 I got into his life story and went down the same road you are walking right now. Honoured to share this journey. Incredibly genuine reactions.
And now, sadly, RIP Lisa Marie
@@marybrant9586 I can’t fathom that she’s gone. That this happened. Thoughts are with her family and the pain her kids must feel. And of course her mom. And her twins are only 14 years old…
(25 days before, not six weeks)
@@joshsheffield3820 this was recorded June 21st. He passed away Aug 16. That’s roughly 6 weeks.
YES. Anyone who is a fan of Elvis Presley can’t help but have tears watching this. The clock was running out. You can see him struggling at times to breath but there is that voice. Always that voice.
Despite EVERYTHING…Elvis was human. “I’m not a king, just a man…take my hand “.
This performance was just six weeks before he died and was extremely ill and in a lot of pain too. But he still poured his heart out with his incredible voice. Once you know and understand what Elvis was going through at the time he did this concert you can't help but feel very emotional when watching it. But I thank Elvis for what he gave the world
Never to be equaled
He is the greatest of all time
Your reaction to this touched me. Elvis was something truly special. A man that was generous with his love, as well as his money. This man will never be forgotten
I agree so well said always the king never be anybody lime him again god bless elvis
Watching you feel Elvis the way I feel Elvis...keeps me believing in humanity. I hope you get to Graceland! Crazy Old White Lady
Dude, you are not overreacting, I was right there with you for sure.
My brother, I’m 53 years old, and I’m not ashamed that this man’s voice, passion and soul has left me speechless, in awe, and in tears throughout my lifetime. He is the greatest we’ve ever seen, and may not see again.
Great reaction. I’m so glad our younger generation is rediscovering Elvis. Enjoy your journey, my friend. It’s going to. E great.
If you want to hear some more of Elvis at the piano, I would suggest 1967’s “You’ll Never Walk Alone”. My favorite version is take one. That is Elvis on the piano. This song is what led up to Elvis rediscovering his passion for music. We know what happened in 1968. And, the rest is history.
Elvis also played piano on some of his 1971 Nashville Sessions. I love the undubbed versions and various takes. Check out “It’s Still Here” and “I Will Be True”. Just Elvis playing the piano and singing his heart out.
I am in my sixties and am so happy to see a younger generation listening to songs from entertainers of my youth.
This performance is so heartbreaking due to the fact that he's so sick yet STILL gave his fans everything he had and then some. 😭
A dying man with his piano before a stunned band and audience. Elvis brought us energy, fun, joy and in the end left us in tears with this performance.
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers cry, wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me
deeply true
I remember watching this concert on tv after Elvis passed away. I was 14. It was on CBS back then. Elvis was 42. This was 6 weeks before Elvis passed away. His voice never failed. It just got better and better as he got older. I can only imagine what he would be like now. I cried through the whole concert 😭. 💔🌹
8 weeks
Same here, Kimberly (except I was almost 11). I remember the day he died thinking I'd like to write a fan letter. My family was out running errands & when we got home, we turned on the radio which was breaking the news of his death. I was crushed and inconsolable for a long time.
Meatloaf and Pavarotti have delivered spectacular tenor performances with their soul but Elvis is on another level. Nobody can touch that performance. He eclipses Michael Jackson and Prince as a stage artist. Simply put Elvis will always be the King.
everything he ever was concentrated in one performance
Rest in Peace Elvis ❤ you gave it all until the very end. You were sick during this performance but you never wanted to fail your audience… God broke the mould after he made you. One of a kind and can never be copied xx
Though many have tried but I agree there won't be another like him
Amen
@@RobbieL1977 amen
I cried too. He died soon after at age 42...RIP sweet guy...
Only 42 years old here. Bless his heart ❤️
He was so sick and in so much pain - but he never lost his sense of humor and his voice never failed him. He was a gift.
He knew his days were coming to an end.....If hadn't, watch "My Way" from the same concert, and the lyrics.....He knew he was doomed, and wanted to say goodbye........
In addition to being overworked over the last years of his life - thanks to the requirements of the Vegas residency, and grueling tour schedule & contractual agreements for new releases, Elvis had a poor diet, sleep habits and was extremely over-medicated. Theories of hereditary issues that many fans claim have yet to be confirmed. In the last eight months alone that Elvis was alive, George Nichopoulos (Elvis's doctor since 1967) prescribed over 10,000 doses of amphetamines, barbiturates, narcotics, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, laxatives and hormones to the star. But the pills had been an issue since much earlier and eventually the cycle of addiction caught up and overwhelmed him. We continue to celebrate Elvis not only because of his great music and performances, but also because he was a generous, kind-hearted man who never forgot where he came from and deeply cared about others. That's the most important way to remember him.
1:58 He's only three or four years older than a lot of the stuff you've reacted to from him, in Vegas and in Hawaii, but he had had some health issues and also they just had him on so many drugs by then, to put them to sleep to wake him up to get him to the show. And it's a shame they didn't really need to do that, but it's a highly controversial subject. But anyway, a lot of what you're seeing here he's not as lost as he sounds, he's a little bit high, but of course all that goes away whenever he starts singing, but I think he had just done a really strenuous number right before this and he was buying time to get his breath back, and a lot of that was meant kind of as humor, mostly within the band but to anyone in the audience that was familiar. And you notice it takes him awhile for his breathing to calm down but strangely, when he starts to hit the first really hard part in the song, vocally, suddenly breath is no longer an issue for him and he's got this incredible breath control and long phrasing with Incredible nuance.
This is just weeks before he died, and it's just so poignant knowing what is about to happen, but everything I have seen from this show, and I don't think I've seen all of it but I've seen a whole bunch of it, to me just tells me that he was becoming more and more masterful of a singer literally right up until the day he died. His singing in this show to me is shockingly more advanced than it was with the stuff we see from 1973 in Hawaii just four years before. Blows me away.
Though he’s gone, he’ll always be the king
Elvis there will never be another voice like his.
He sings this song better than the Righteous Brothers! That's why he's the King of Rock n Roll!
I feel you, bro. It's hard to watch. This poor man was already actively dying. 42 years old. So damn sad.
This version gets me every time. It's my parent's song and I imagine my mother singing it to my dad who passed a week after their 40th anniversary.
::sigh:: he passed away 2 short months after this performance.. it makes me cry.. I wish someone, anyone could have reached him and helped him..
The Righteous Brothers were the original artists. Elvis did cover it, obviously lol, and included it on one of his albums. I was fortunate to see him in concert twice. His presence made everyone feel like they were in the presence of Royalty. He was unbelievably incredible and TRULY the King.
In 1955, (10 years before The Righteous Brothers covered it) Les Baxter, Al Hibbler, & Roy Hamilton charted in the Billboard Top 10 and in The U.K. Al Hibbler, Les Baxter, Jimmy Young, & Liberace were simultaneously in the top 20 with it - a record for any song until 2014 when it was joined by Do They Know It’s Christmas?!
“ I never expected to be anybody important” - Elvis Presley
Wow...I've never seen this performance...less than a month before his passing. Long LIVE the KING!!
He was over 4 months constipated when he died, thats insane, the first person to experience such fame, like 80% off all records beeing sold around the world was Elvis records. Totally mind blowing, anyone would go crazy
He had so many medical problems and part of what was going on was he at times tried to medicate his symptoms to relieve his pain and suffering. Many times people have thought he was just using prescription drugs but he actually was trying to treat his problems independently of physicians at times. Yes, he had a addiction to a number of prescription drugs but the reason had to do with his multiple medical problems. And he kept a lot of it secret. Even his doctors half the time didn’t know what was going on with him. But I loved this guy, still do- he was so talented. So generous. So philanthropic. So one of a kind. He’s unmatched by anyone. It pains me to watch him struggle to breathe but he still delivers an exceptional performance here. But he leaves many of us in tears. Austin Butler weeps every time he has watched this performance.
God Bless you Elvis, one of a kind!
It made and makes all of us Elvis Presley fans know what happened just a few weeks later really The Day the music died
This is not Elvis older. This is Elvis sick and still giving. 💔
Greatest till the end. Been watching this concert over 35 years and it still brings tears. There is nothing sadder than this performance except for long black limousine his funeral procession. Give it a look. It shows how much Elvis meant to his fans and to the world. Thanks for a great reaction and thanks for keeping Elvis alive. He was truly amazing
The way Elvis died is so so sad he had small strokes and heart problems and I want to be Elvis when I get older
This song by Elvis is so emotional 😢 it's beautiful
I was trying to tell my 18 year old daughter how tough this song is to do, and that Elvis was in his final weeks, but all she could do was talk about how hot YOU are with those biceps, and long fingers, and beautiful smile!
I cry every time I hear this song!
Absolutely a tear-jerker! I appreciate your reaction. You’re compassionate and you inspire me. Thank you so much!
Watched this 50 times before and every time I see it, it gives me butterflies knowing shortly after he would die. What a beautiful person. Legend
It is such a touching performance, and then your reaction in turn made my allergies act up. Everything about it is great, and near the end he says hit me with it and the band starts edging in to provide this wonderful finish as he picks up his piano playing. Meanwhile he's almost turning into an opera singer for the final part of that song. It's such a poignant performance.
I think this one has the vibe of crying as you could literally see he was on his way out of this world. He died just two months later. He'll always be one of my heroes.
My friend, that is the power of Elvis, it made me cry too and does every time. A legendary performer to the last song. RIP!
You don’t see it on this video. But, at the end he looks to someone and he says, “Not bad.” He knew he tore it up.
That is what is so great about Elvis! That is why we are still talking about him 45 years after his death.
Unchained Melody is a song that was first recorded in 1955 for the film "Unchained". It has been a hit numerous times and has been covered by over 500 different artists, including the Righteous Brothers, Elvis, and Angelina.
Elvis didn't write his own music, but dear god, that man owned every song he ever recorded...
This was just 6 weeks before he passed away. This was sad but it also gave us his all until the end.
8 weeks
The greatest entertainer of all time and will never be another like him
He knew how sick he was and coming to an end but wanted to go out doing what he loved.
Elvis one of the Greatest ever I love him I miss him Great Empath ,I'm crying listening to this .♥️♥️♥️
As the many comments, have informed you, this performance is few weeks, before he died. You should really, see the biopic movie with Austin Butler, playing the role of Elvis (recent movie, no other version) Elvis's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, supported this version, and she supported Austin's likeness to Elvis. The movie explains how Elvis's talent's we're exploited & his manager & father, knowingly & purposefully got him hooked on drugs for their own greed. In this video, the years of drugs had taken a toll on him, which is noticeable in this video. The true & tragic story of The King, is the same sad story of many of the performers of today. God Bless You, for taking the time, to hear music of yesteryear. Elvis is very versatile, and plays all genres of music. Elvis is a white "black man." He opened the music & performance doors for all, but especially for black musicians. Many of his band members & back up singers were black. He once was to perform at a sports arena, in front of thousands, the arena owner informed him all black performers were to enter through the back door. Elvis refused, said all of the performers were going to enter together through the front door or he wasn't entering. Needless to say, they entered together through the front gates.
That's how us fans felt pzo,we cried cause we knew he was sick 😫
I don't think that there is one song Elvis couldn't sing and give it his own touch. Every song he sang sounded like it was his own song. The power and emotion he puts in every song, makes it his own. It feels like they were all written for him. The way he sings this song and adds a personal touch to it is over whelming. So far, no one can match him.
Despite the bad condition he was in, his voice never failed him.
The righteous Brothers ft this song out in 1964 Elvis just recorded it in 76
6 weeks before he died........i cried 2
Jane H commenting ….. I find this so hard to watch, & I always end up crying, knowing how much Elvis was struggling health wise. He was short of breath, yet he still managed to do a spellbinding performance & that voice was so powerful. His final performance before passing away just 8 weeks later. My dear Elvis, you thought you would be forgotten. How very wrong you were. 47 years since you left us, but you are still loved so much, & a whole new generation is re-discovering you & enjoying your music. You won’t ever be forgotten. This was the Righteous Brothers song, but Elvis did a recording of it, which they would have been pleased about, as they would have got the royalties off every record of Elvis’ that sold, & that would have been a Lot. Elvis usually contacted singers when he wanted to record their songs, & I imagine they were happy about that, because Elvis sold more records than any other singer.
He played guitar too and he couldnt read music notes Its real talent
Elvis was sick. 8 Weeks before he died. A beautiful soul.
His last performance before he died. He could barely stand. I cry buckets everytime I watch it!!
Elvis couldn't even breathe properly at this point. Still he put on one of the greatest performances EVER! The King!👑🎙️🙌
Such a beautiful performance. Always makes me cry knowing this was his last. Even though he was ill he gave it his all, like always. Thank you for your reactions to him.
Elvis was the greatest I think he died 6 weeks after this performance he was only 42 years old but they won't be but one Elvis and he is the greatest thank you for this video
Hearing him struggle hurts my heart. All the multiple illnesses he had in this part of his life was eye-opening. I read the book Destined to Die Young. It really makes me respect him more!
Must read book. I practically have the whole thing highlighted.
@@memphisflashfan1 really put it all into perspective. What he must have gone through.
Elvis's recording is fantastic! Of course, this was a cover. He was not the first to record.
This is even more moving knowing that this was Elvis final performance. He passed away a few weeks afterwards. His presence was amazing even though you could see how ill he was. There will never be another performer like Elvis
He was so ill at this time...but he knew so many people depended on him so he pursued till his death! GOD BLESS HIM!
His voice never left him...KING😂
It was an emotional performance
This was 2 months before he died. This was in June 1977 and he died August 1977. Breaks my heart every time I see this.
Elvis was amazing, we lost a treasure when we lost him
this was his last live performance. Six weeks later, he passed on.
What a great Singer 👑👑👑
I can't listen to this performance without crying and just knowing he was gone 6 weeks later. 😭😭😭
I so remember this performance and cried all the way through. Weeks later he was gone. He was not old only 41 and if you think this was just 4 years after his amazing performance Aloha from Hawai which was broadcast by satellite across the world it is astounding and heartbreaking that his health deteriorated so far in just 4 years. His last performance I struggle to watch now as I still find it heartbreaking.
Righteous brothers was the first one to record & sing this song, Elvis made a remake of it, but did it beautifully!! He was so sick here and still performed and gave his all, when I watch this video I always cry.
This performance always makes me cry because of how sick he was..I believe it was just a few weeks before he passed. It was a beautiful performance. RIP king
Same here, every time. Wait til you get to his gospel. Powerful.
This song was written in 56. Roy Hamilton recorded it in 57 and the righteous Brothers recorded it in the 60s. Elvis pulled his love and inspiration from Roy Hamiltons 57 version. Elvis is only 42 here. Just 4 years after his aloha from Hawaii concert. 40 to 42 his illness and drugs needed for pain had taken over yet he still worked his butt off
This performance never fails to bring me to tears as well. I appreciate your honest reaction thanks for sharing. RIP: Elvis 🔥💔 U R Missed
His incredible voice never let him down
when the brothers give attention to a white performer, it's a blessing to us, a blessing to us for them to give notice to a performance like this
Give a listen to Elvis sing Gospel…that’ll move you to tears. His Christmas album is amazing as well.
Great reaction! This was 6 weeks before he passed and many think he shouldn’t have been made to go on tour with everything going on with him. Even when you know everything he was going through, his voice never faltered.
I cry everytime I watch this. It's amazing seeing it bring tears to your eyes and you didn't even know he died so soon afterwards. This was his last performance❤❤❤😢😢😢
Elvis never reached his older ages. Just in his 40's here and he died shortly afterward. He was not well, but still Elvis.
My mom went to this concert. It was 50 miles from where we lived. I remember when they built the civic center and this was the first concert performed there. A few months later we were in Denver visiting family when he died. The bells of the churches started ringing throughout the city. Sad day
Thank you Brother for your unconditional love and support for Elvis. Everyone of us are feeling the way you felt. Beautiful authentic reaction. Much love ❤
I love that it moved a young man as yourself so much after all these years. He was amazing ❤️
Elvis touched us all like that....and we knew he was sick and close to death......tough ending but what a guy he was....
