I was 17 yrs old. First time you could hear drums and backup singers and band at same time, instead of out of sink. It was a million dollar performance. I'm awash in memories of Elvis. He kept repeating to each of us as he was driven around the dome, shaking hands with us, "Thanks so much for coming to see me, thank you so much!". Humble, sincere, talented, and just awsome. Thanks for sharing this!
If ELVIS were to perform today there wouldn't be a stadium large enough. I can't even imagine........ We would just all be blessed to watch and hear the video.
I was 9 years old and I remember a billion flash bulbs going off and the loudest screaming I have ever heard in my life, and then the most beautiful singing voice ever. I also saw the 1970 show, Hoheinz Pavilion, and his last in Houston at the Summit. I miss him, no one can ever replace him
I was 8 in 70 and was upset to learn he was there and I wasn't... It didn't matter to me that I lived in the Panhandle of Tx @ the time, My mom made up for it in getting tix 4 yrs later! FANTASTIC upload!!!
Hi my name is Bonnie Foerster and I just love this video any video to do with Elvis Presley is amazing I'm so grateful they're still out there I go way back and being a fan since I'm 12 years old and I will turn 76 years young next Sunday the 24th of November everything that could be said has been said about the great man the king of rock and roll I still remember my first reaction of seeing him on the Jimmy Dorsey show he was in the most amazing Entertainer In My Time Ice he was truly amazing between his music is acting a bill of days and everything else he did he was truly amazing but I loved him for more than that he left this world way too young at 42 years old I never got to see him in person I never had that great honor but you're his videos and music he's still alive he will always be alive in my heart I know that you have millions of fan to out the United States the world the universe but I am one fan that is so devoted to you just to meet you would have been an honor to talk to you to sit down and talk to you about the meaning of life because I searched that meeting also you are so intelligent beyond your years you were searching for the truth of life he was so with it without you knowing it you left a legacy of love someday I hope to visit your home in Graceland what an honor to see what you built you are an amazing father husband and son who everyone who got to see you I know you in person what it gives you left them but you have left me with such an amazing gift he left me with a gift of Love to You music and your movies and now your videos as you look down upon the evidence I hope you can see how much you are loved You Walk So Proud in this world you are a man of honor and dignity and you are the brightest star in Heaven's❤💋❤
I was at this concert. A man ran out to the stage. Cops cuffed him and took him away ! You just don't forget an event like this. I got to know James Burton in Shreveport, La. Super nice man. 😎👍
I was there! I wasn't a big fan when it started, but by the end of the show, I was a HUGE fan! He was great. Not sure which show it was, but his jumpsuit had lots of fringe on it. It was a Saturday, but there were probably at least 2 shows that day. It was in the afternoon.
I love Elvis and glad I had a fabulous mother to take to see him at the Astrodome and I will never forget it!! It was truly awesome at a young age to see him and to be in the same area as him. Just like it was yesterday :) and then again in 1976 at The Summit. Love Elvis!
This is the first time since 1961 that Elvis performed outside of Las Vegas, he flew to Houston for the annual livestock show with performances on February 27th.Elvis was very disappointed and the attendance of the 2 p.m. show but soon snapped out of his disappointment setting a record in attendance at the 7 p.m. show of 36, 299 , breaking the previous record by 10000. with two more performances on Sat. February 28th at 2 and 7:45 p.m. Elvis breaks his own record with 43614. a total of 6 performance with 2 more on Mar.1 Earning. $4,102,040.65. of that for his work he recieved $ 2,203,728.17
It is a dam shame these shows weren't taped, I cry everytime I think about it. Madison Square Garden, You would had diffently thought they would had taped those shows. His one on December 31, 1976 at Pittsburgh is another great concert. Actually I think they should had taped them all. But who knows what's inside the vaults.
A shitty band as Kiss had numerous 70's performances filmed professionally or semi professionally and this was done at the same venues that Elvis played. It's a frickin' shame so little live concert footage exists of the world's most famous entertainer. Colonel Parker is to blame.
Dang I feel old...I was there at the Dome for the 1st show...I wish I would have filmed it....but never gave it a thought back then. Great show...I was up in balconies but could clearly see Elvis and his white jumpsuit. The sound wasn't that bad for the day...nothing like it was when I saw ZZ Top and the Rolling Stones there in 1981. ..different era...less power.
Awesome clip!! It sounds and looks like it was pure oldschool rock and roll time over there in Houston.. !! Hahahaha... He looks great there and I had seen the intro in a car foto's before, never new exactly the whats now and the why is what exactly... Untill now... ;-)
The version of That’s allright, is from LV, with Ronnie Tutt on the drums. The drummer in February 1970, Houston Astrodome, was Bob Lanning. But of course you know that😀
Yeah, the first song was All Shook Up. Obviously I needed lots of introductory music for my video presentation, which, by the way, you made no mention of. You're right to give Lanning credit. Just like Tony Brown goes unnoticed in later concert years. That might make a good video actually. Elvis' second-string musicians. Thanks.
I was there at age 14 with my Super 8 video camera. On the same video cartridge, I have Neil Armstrong stepping on the moon, live, as it happened, and Elvis, live, giving the most charismatic performance I've ever witnessed. He had the entire Astrodome wrapped around his finger. Any bids for the original cartridge?
and id just like to add what a truley fantastic channel you have i have a barbers shop called presleys il send you video as i think being an elvis fan you will app the work iv put into it all memorabilia,photos vides,playing non stop,i even made my jump suite i sing in stone bystone stich by stich thanks again for your time,so sorry about spelling as i said i have dsylexia,"why do they make that such a hasrd word to spell" thanks johny

te amo de paixão Elvis love you ♫ ♥ ♫ beijos meu amado
Dang I feel old...I was there at the Dome for the 1st show...I wish I would have filmed it....but never gave it a thought back then. Great show...I was up in balconies but could clearly see Elvis and his white jumpsuit. The sound wasn't that bad for the day...nothing like it was when I saw ZZ Top and the Rolling Stones there in 1981. ..different era...less power.
I know what you mean Michael....very different sounds. I was at the Texas Jam at the Astrodome and not as good as with Elvis!! :)
Awesome clip!!
It sounds and looks like it was pure oldschool rock and roll time over there in Houston.. !! Hahahaha... He looks great there and I had seen the intro in a car foto's before, never new exactly the whats now and the why is what exactly... Untill now... ;-)
Elvis done six shows, Feb. 27, 29, and March 1st.1970.

A great great performer!!! Over 200.000 people for 6 shows to see one man performing on stage!

Hi Randy. How long is the Elvis portion?
i was there. 10 years old and sick as a dog. 104 fever. remember it like it was yesterday. oh yeah, was also at the '74 show as well.
That's awesome, Hank. Great memories. Let's hope Houston leaves the Dome standing right where it is.
and id just like to add what a truley fantastic channel you have i have a barbers shop called presleys il send you video as i think being an elvis fan you will app the work iv put into it all memorabilia,photos vides,playing non stop,i even made my jump suite i sing in stone bystone stich by stich thanks again for your time,so sorry about spelling as i said i have dsylexia,"why do they make that such a hasrd word to spell" thanks johny
There was not an intercontinental airport back then. only Hobby airport. The same one JFK flew into in 1962
+Rick Winn - Opened in 1969, called IAH back then. Called George Bush today.
I don’t think this is audio from the Astrodome 1970. Bob Lanning didn’t use double bass drum.
So what?
I’d Like to hear the soundboard recording without the orchestra
And to think Selena would break the attendance record 3 times over 23-25 years later…
