February 13th, 1956 (pre Ed Sullivan appearance) my Aunt and my Mom went to see Elvis perform at the Paramount theater in New Port News, Virginia. After the concert, they waited in line at a nearby record store to get his autograph. As my Mom reached Elvis, we think he recognized her as being one of the screaming girls near the front stage of the concert so he passionately held and kissed my Mom. She was 16 years old and it was her very first kiss!💋She was a life long fan and was completely crushed when he died. My sister and I inherited that same love for Elvis
If I was with my wife watching Elvis live, I'd have no problem with her getting a kiss. He's a legend! I've been a huge Elvis fan my entire life. Both of my parents were big fans too. I had the privilege of seeing Elvis live in 1976 ... it's a memory I'll never forget!
Nice. I would be so sad if I was about to get a kiss from Elvis and my man was giving me a hard time about it. 😢 Really? You’re going to do this? Think it would ruin the way I felt about my Man.
I was in the front row, center for an Elvis concert. Got a scarf and my knees went weak. He loved to play with the front row. By the way, his rule for concerts was that only fans got the first 10 rows. Freebies and celebrities were after row 10.
@@adog4661 IKR, I was going to name him too; a no brainer. But I've seen MJ in concert; and while he did carry a good part of the lead vocals, he really didn't. There were others hitting key notes, or he just did some hurried up version. But who knows? MJ was a freak of nature. He certainly was doing it by the time of that last film. I've done a lot of live shows; not anywhere at their level, and it is mind boggling how someone like MJ, Prince, Madonna keep so many dance steps, lighting cues, where to stand at what time, and then hit all notes and words in sync. And still look good.
I mean, I’m not even the world’s biggest Elvis junkie but one undeniable fact in life is that nothing Elvis ever put on tape wouldn’t vary between at least mildly interesting (some of the movie stuff) to absolutely legendary. Like Trilogy for sure and this and so SO much more.
Saw Elvis do this song (ALL 7:30 minutes) in concert in Miami about six months before he opened in Vegas.....all I know is my girlfriend and I were dancing in the aisle....incredible performance....incredible night.
Wow can you expand on what it was like at these concerts? Wait miami? I think the only time he was in miami to perfom was in 1956 before his first vegas act unless your getting 1968 vegas confused with when he was at the stardust in the fifties in vegas.
@@user-rr3yw9dn1l Saw Elvis in Miami in, I believe, February 1970 at Miami Convention Hall. This was before he started playing Vegas. He was fantastic. I don’t recall if he had the full orchestra at that point but he had his TCB Band. I saw him at Madison Square Garden and out on Long Island at Nassau Coliseum. The man was charismatic and full of energy. Hard to believe he was dead seven years later. My girl friend had no interest in seeing him but by the end of the show she had fallen in love with Elvis and that was all the music she wanted to listen to on my eight track. At 72 it’s hard to remember every song he did but I’ll never forget that Suspicious Minds was crazy and the next to last song he did be Can’t Help Falling In Love from Blue Hawaii.

Remember Mick Jagger said "he was an entertainers entertainer. An original in a sea of imitators". He was blessed with Swagger, Charisma and looks that kill. I'm very jealous. Lol.
Sorry, but i have to correct! I guess you meant the song "If I Can Dream". It was dedicated to MLK and R.F. Kennedy. And Cissy Houston was only five weeks with Elvis
@@Dorakaz1 I was also only 14 when he died but old enough to go to a concert. However, I appreciate him more now as a woman than when I was that young..
I think guys would have been proud and bragging if Elvis kissed their girl! It was Elvis after all, perhaps the most famous person on the planet at the time. A truly great performance.
Remember, he had to do *2 shows every evening* with that Tom Parker deadly contract. And still he did not just sing a song, he gave all he had. But over time it tired him...
Your significant other would have the best evening of her LIFE if she had seen Elvis live! Most guys feel threatened by Elvis’ power and charisma, so lighten up guys, enjoy his athleticism, his amazing singing, his performance and let the girls have a show to remember!
What you didn’t know about Elvis. The time is the single important time. This was Elvis Christmas show. Martian Luther King, and Robert Kennedy had both been assassinated. American was tearing itself apart. Elvis chose to try and heal the country. You can feel his pain. That’s why his final appearance in 1968 was so important. I watched this live on tv. It moved in ways I cannot explain. Now you know why this performance was so passionate.
This performance helps show why Elvis was known as Elvis "The Pelvis "I watched Elvis on all his TV special. He was my favorite Artist and the Bee Gees were my favorite group.
The King's voice, his performance, this presence is also electrified through a TV screen. It is impossible to remain indifferent. It instills in you a different atmosphere from any other singer that exists in modern history
Great reaction! Elvis was the man! My first celebrity crush when I was 10. Voice, showmanship, power, energy! Yes videos on their lives is a great idea. Me being a history buff, history teacher for 26 years and a music lover since childhood study biographies of singers, musicians and actors. Many are multi-talented. I love movies and TV as well.
I was only 3 years old when I became a fan of Elvis. It is now over 63 years as a loyal fan. I am a fan for life. Long live Elvis!! My Aunt and Brother turned me into a Elvis fan. I listened to their music and watched Elvis movies.
You looked very confused during the part when Elvis was acting all worn out & huffing & puffing. He just liked to mess around like that during shows. Like scaring his background singer. Or messing with the song lyrics. He did 2-3 shows a night in Vegas so he had to do things like that to break up the monotony I guess.
I did get to see me live in concert. Videos are great but seeing him live words cant describe what it was like. I will never forget that as long as i live.
Not one off the greatest of all time, the greatest of all time, the GOAT. Never be beaten at his best 1968 to 73. Rest in peace Mr Presley, you'll always be remembered ❤
Thanks for covering this incredible performance and getting the magic of Elvis out to a new generation. He has a loyal fan base that continues to grow 50 years after that performance not just because of his talent as an entertainer but because he was an incredible human being! Forever loving Elvis from Canada 🇨🇦
If I can dream in the white suit was the closing act on the come back special. The video making the rounds of him in that amazing leather suit Was in outtake. I would kill to see all the outtakes of that song. If they said the 1st 1 was so jaw droppingly shocking the band Was blown away And their reactions made it unusable.
The reason that I think no one will ever be like Elvis again- he wasn’t just amazingly gifted, but completely humble and at home in his own skin. Your gut says this is Elvis. Yes, he was gorgeous but he could also be the guy next door that would make you welcome anytime and invite you in for coffee. He was the best looking and biggest star on the planet, but he never had to that snob attitude. He was incredibly gracious and giving. A lot of people think he didn’t have a lot of money left because he wasted it. No, that man gave away so much to so many people. And a lot of those people were complete strangers.
Spot on! He was the real deal. Find me even one modern day performer who even has 1 of Elvis' qualities not just as an artist but as a human being! You'd be struggling. I don't know what happened from these performances to what allegedly became of Elvis prior to his death, but it was a tragedy that we haven't recovered from 45 yrs down the track! I believe he grew tired of the fishbowl existence as he was empathetic, compassionate and spiritual, the lifestyle and constant performing ate away at his soul and was losing his true self. He was the consummate giver, why he gave so much of himself to his fans and money to strangers. We still morn his loss at such a young age. May he R I P 🥰😇😍🤩😘
I seen elvis twice in concert in the seventies .I wish I was know the front row to be kissed by elvis was an honor to us fans.I was way in the back. When they said elvis. Has left the building us fans would cry.
This is why he will always be 'The Greatest Showman!!' and the 'The King of Rock n Roll!!' If you haven't already, react to Burnin' Love live in Hawaii!! I have NEVER forgotten when my brother came home from his friends house. And stood at the front door and said 'Elvis died!!!' Our dad went to the tv and turned to the news and we sat there crying in disbelief, because we loved him so much!!!
Elvis had an amazing voice, the more different types of songs you see he could sing anything and some dont know he is in ALL THREE MUSIC HALLS OF FAME - The only one in music history to achieve that.
Oh I got that wrong, thanks much for setting me straight I will definitely give Elvis credit where its due, im a 61 year old guy but even though im not female I thought he had an amazing voice and forget about his amazing charisma and presence, a true legend.
Back then the women LOVED Elvis. There was no men being able to "stop their women from kissing Elvis" if the opportunity presented itself. They couldn't have stopped it. LOL
Thanks for your reaction very good indeed. The women always went crazy for Elvis right from day one. And Elvis also loved his fans. It was VERY generously would always take care of everybody if he could. And he did. Gave so many cars and jewellery and money to Total strangers All the time. Gave so much to charity hospitals children's ones. So much. And that's only part of it. And he wasn't prejudiced to anyone as you can see. His Cook is a black lady and he bought her a house in car. And I could go on and on.
James, You really need to check out a video called Elvis and the black community. He treated everyone with respect and refused to perform at the astrodome unless his Black backup singers were treated with respect. The concert promoters told him to leave them behind and Elvis refused.
Back then, your gurl loved you more for TAKING HER to an Elvis concert. You just gotta be understanding to give ya girl her moment :) If Elvis was her thang.. you gonna give ya girl her moment, or you dont get yours later -- or in some rare cases -- ever again!! :) hahahaha But no doubt, there were PLENTY of men that liked Elvis as well. He sung about real life stuff that guys could directly relate to. Passion & skills just off the chain. Many to this day feel he was the GOAT... it was just a unique experience.
Man, love Elvis! Grew up watching him and listening. Sad, sad day when he died. I remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard it on the radio. Just love his voice.
I saw him in concert in Houston. He was doing Burning Love and the girls behind me were going ignorant . I finally got fed up, turned around and almost dropped my teeth! It was 3 little old ladies!
I have listened to Elvis since 1956 n yes im old now but Elvis music keeps me young. I only got to his Alohat Concert 1973 that was broadcasted around the world and seen by 1.5 Billion people. I was 21 n even jumped up in my seat n thru him a kiss n I think he saw me as at that time I was the only crazy girl to stand up. I sat 3rd row center n couldn't take my eyes off of him I never got to meet Elvis but became good friends with Charlie Hodge his confidant and best friend for 8years after Elvis died. I wrote a journal about the stories that Charlie told me. I did get a kiss from Charlie. Oh at the Love Me Tender performance someone said he kissed around 45 girls Now I hope you reacted to Bridge Over Troubled Water Vagus 1970, Polk Salad Annie1970 Vagus, American Trilogy Aloha concert 1973( this was a big favorite of his fans n 500 more. Thank you for brining back memories
I saw him in 77- his last tour. I took my Mom, my Aunt and my Fiance. My Aunt gave him flowers-went down to the stage to get near Elvis hoping for a kiss. She was mesmerized. My Mom was too but She stayed in Her seat with Me and my Girl. My Girl knew better. The Ladies kept coming all night long. After Elvis left the building the whole front of the stage was covered with flowers, notes, and various pieces of Women's clothes(ha ha). Yes he kissed and hugged a lot of them. They were throwing themselves at Him he had no choice. They tried to pull Him off the stage.Security had to pick them up and take them out. Was at Norfolk Scope.
My mom was a huge Elvis fan and I grew up listening to his music. This is my favourite song and this version in particular. I can’t hear it without wanting to imitate his stage moves.
For a female fan to receive a kiss from Elvis Presley was an unforgettable badge of honour for her and boasting rights for any man she was with. It was also something that the recipient would never ever forget. Elvis Presley loved his fans and we will always love him. R.I.P. Elvis Presley you live on in your music and in our hearts ♥️♥️♥️ ♥️♥️♥️♥️
My mom fought for and caught a scarf from a 76’ concert...It’s behind a glass pic frame to this day! I was born in 83’ I wish I seen him live...my lil mama now 76* says “we’ll my boy, if Elvis looked at me and said let’s go honey, you prob wouldn’t be here” 😂Well damn...long live the King!
Polk Salad Anne live 1970 And you’ve lost that loving feeling live check them out I think you’ll really like them back up singers are incredible the band is awesome and of course Elvis’s vocals are incredible along with his dance moves high energy
Fun reaction, thank you. It seems like you hit on most of the stuff but let me also point out the incredible bass playing going on. It's just mind-blowing. He always had the best musicians and I love the fact that he had a lot of diversity in his band. And apparently they all loved him and he was very funny offstage. But mostly I would like to point out that he was essentially an athlete. If you look at his early stuff that people like to impersonate like Jailhouse Rock or hound dog oh, yeah they're really short and you don't get a whole lot of who he really is but he's doing almost impossible things. And at this point he's a lot older but he's still in fantastic shape and some of those deep lunges that he does where he just holds it and yeah you're right man, his singing voice just still is there even when he's winded. And then he does that slow rise up? That is so physically taxing. And of course he always makes his band members feel right at home. He's almost kind of a goofball but he's also really serious and just mad Talent. He was an extraordinary character.
I believe Elvis is alive too. I am a fan of Elvis for life. Long live Elvis! Elvis went into hiding. He needed to address his health and a long break had to come. He wasn't happy and lonely. Now he can walk out in the open. There are so many Elvis Presley look-alikes.
Hysterical, my dad got my mom tickets and had to go to work but sent my uncle with my mom 🤣dad got my mom floor seats 7 th row center lol 😂 u are so right love u brethren And ur reactions
This is my wife’s favorite song/video of Elvis. She is from Vietnam and she can see his charisma and charm. She loves when he scares the background singer. Check out Fine Young Cannibals version. The lead singer said Elvis came to him in a dream and told him to do a version.
I don’t know if you noticed but Elvis was shy he was a jokester he was only felt comfortable on the stage saying there was only way he was able to express him true self I hope you get it he was truly amazing and Michael Jordan of music
Huge bragging rights if the king had kissed your girl and because you took her she would love you forever, well almost as much as she loved Elvis. '68 Come Back Special 'If I Can Dream' white suit version will blow you away, also 'American Trilogy' from Aloha From Hawaii.
And the girls still go crazy!!!! The men did not have control over whether their girl was going to go kiss him because she was going to kiss him regardless of anything. She forgot all about him when Elvis walked on that stage. My mom was lucky enough to see him live before I came along. He was the first man I ever had a crush on when I was a little girl and I'm only 51. The world was a more beautiful place when he was in it. I think he's the only musical artist I have ever truly mourned his death because I knew that there was never going to be anything new from him, we would never be able to hear those velvety tones live again and that's sad for the world. I'm grateful for what he left us though. I think the whole world mourned his death. But I don't think there's an artist alive today or has been since that could compare to Elvis. He was unique and special.
I missed the opportunity to get an Elvis kiss both times I saw him in person. Kids my age got birthday kisses on the cheek. Unfortunately, even though it was my birthday both times I saw him, I was too shy and scared to go up there. As I got older I wanted to kick my younger self for missing that opportunity...twice! Lol.
SO MUCH CHARISMA!!!! And stunningly gorgeous!!! Many of his exes said he was a fantastic lover. lol Oh one of a kind he was!!!! My mom and I were just saying we wish we could've seen him live... but at least we've got to see Graceland. You can feel his presence there.
Finally, Suspicious Minds! I personally feel his quality of music was best after the ‘68 Comeback Special. Live version was the way to go with this! I still remember, even at 10 years old, the day it was announced that Elvis died. I recognized it as a big event. Still, even though I knew most of his music throughout his life, I didn’t truly become a fan until I visited Graceland in 2006. My wife is a huge huge fan, so I’ve learned alot about him from her.
Funny thing about Elvis is the guys loved him almost as much as the girls. Young people and old people loved this man. I'm a 70 year old man and tear up when I watch him now. Don't know why😷✌️

@@lechat8533 Yes and when she talks about it her eyes just light up and that smile is ear to ear lol
@@lechat8533 right crazy.
Wow that’s amazing
That was a really good point you said about his voice not changing when he dances and how that is not an easy thing to do 🕺
I was going to say same thing. I think....only Prince, and maybe Madonna that did as much moving and kept up topnotch vocals throughout.
Lol

Gotta do Elvis “American Trilogy “, live in Hawaii. You won’t be disappointed.

The best one is possibly from a year earlier in '72.
Agreed also in the ghetto

The 68 comeback special is another one you don't want to take your girl to. Check out "Trying to get to you" from that show.
Yesss!!!
and "Trouble"
yeah and one night that was a song that drove the girls wild lol
Basically just watch the entire special. At least any musical part of it
Absolutely! Elvis in his prime, black leather and an amazing voice and stage presence.
Remember Mick Jagger said "he was an entertainers entertainer. An original in a sea of imitators". He was blessed with Swagger, Charisma and looks that kill. I'm very jealous. Lol.
If I Could Dream, by Elvis, was a dedication to Dr. Martin Luther King.
Also Whitney Houston's Mom was one of Elvis' background singers for years!!
Sorry, but i have to correct!
I guess you meant the song "If I Can Dream".
It was dedicated to MLK and R.F. Kennedy.
And Cissy Houston was only five weeks with Elvis
Elvis changed the World........he had to break through many barriers along the way.........he was the first musical Superstar.
And helped so many black artists on the music scene . He is the man 👑Of 🎼
Hey James I got to see Elvis twice in concert back in the 70's and of all the concerts that I have seen Elvis Presley was life changing for me.

But over time it tired him...
It killed him, same thing with Michael jackson. 2 shows a day for weeks, sooner or later your body'll give up
what was that stuff he kept taking anyhow?
I got to see Elvis in concert in 1976 whenever I was 15. Because it was the Bicentennial he asked everyone to stand up and sing America the Beautiful.

This is why Elvis is the King.
Elvis knew how to get an audience in the palm of his hand since he was a teenager!
Elvis was a 8th degree black belt in Karate. He would do some of his karate moves on stage.
Elvis was made to be seen live. He was a showman. My Mum and Aunt saw him in concert in 71 or 72. She talked about it for years and years.

Yes videos on their lives is a great idea. Me being a history buff, history teacher for 26 years and a music lover since childhood study biographies of singers, musicians and actors. Many are multi-talented. I love movies and TV as well.
I was only 3 years old when I became a fan of Elvis. It is now over 63 years as a loyal fan. I am a fan for life. Long live Elvis!! My Aunt and Brother turned me into a Elvis fan. I listened to their music and watched Elvis movies.

His concerts were legendary :)
Elvis loved to joke around with his people and crew. He had a big heart and a good sense of humor.
Lol oh my god, that singer was freaking out the closer he got. She was smiling like, holy shit!
He did that 2-3 times a night? Damn! I got tired just watching him sing this one song! I wish I had that kind of energy!
From day one Elvis could never stand still. There was a tv performance where they told him he couldn’t dance so you see him wiggling his finger.
the King forever 😎👍🎶🎸
My Mama LOVED Elvis! I remember her crying when he died. I asked her if she loved Elvis more than Daddy?? I don’t remember her answer 😳😂
Probably a good thing. 😂
I did get to see me live in concert. Videos are great but seeing him live words cant describe what it was like. I will never forget that as long as i live.

A lot of people think he didn’t have a lot of money left because he wasted it. No, that man gave away so much to so many people. And a lot of those people were complete strangers.
Spot on! He was the real deal. Find me even one modern day performer who even has 1 of Elvis' qualities not just as an artist but as a human being! You'd be struggling. I don't know what happened from these performances to what allegedly became of Elvis prior to his death, but it was a tragedy that we haven't recovered from 45 yrs down the track! I believe he grew tired of the fishbowl existence as he was empathetic, compassionate and spiritual, the lifestyle and constant performing ate away at his soul and was losing his true self. He was the consummate giver, why he gave so much of himself to his fans and money to strangers. We still morn his loss at such a young age. May he R I P 🥰😇😍🤩😘
I seen elvis twice in concert in the seventies .I wish I was know the front row to be kissed by elvis was an honor to us fans.I was way in the back. When they said elvis. Has left the building us fans would cry.
This is why he will always be 'The Greatest Showman!!' and the 'The King of Rock n Roll!!'
If you haven't already, react to Burnin' Love live in Hawaii!!
I have NEVER forgotten when my brother came home from his friends house. And stood at the front door and said 'Elvis died!!!' Our dad went to the tv and turned to the news and we sat there crying in disbelief, because we loved him so much!!!
He was a great entertainer, and he had the talent that went with that !
Elvis had an amazing voice, the more different types of songs you see he could sing anything and some dont know he is in ALL THREE MUSIC HALLS OF FAME - The only one in music history to achieve that.
He is in five Halls of Fame!
Rock' n Roll
R&B
Country
Gospel
Rockabilly
And he is represented with 6 songs in the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Oh I got that wrong, thanks much for setting me straight I will definitely give Elvis credit where its due, im a 61 year old guy but even though im not female I thought he had an amazing voice and forget about his amazing charisma and presence, a true legend.
Back then the women LOVED Elvis. There was no men being able to "stop their women from kissing Elvis" if the opportunity presented itself. They couldn't have stopped it. LOL
Elvis is a great entertainer
Always chills!!! Can't get enough of Elvis! Talent, looks and an amazingly loving man💙🕺
Thanks for your reaction very good indeed. The women always went crazy for Elvis right from day one. And Elvis also loved his fans. It was VERY generously would always take care of everybody if he could. And he did. Gave so many cars and jewellery and money to Total strangers All the time. Gave so much to charity hospitals children's ones. So much. And that's only part of it. And he wasn't prejudiced to anyone as you can see. His Cook is a black lady and he bought her a house in car. And I could go on and on.
James, You really need to check out a video called Elvis and the black community. He treated everyone with respect and refused to perform at the astrodome unless his Black backup singers were treated with respect. The concert promoters told him to leave them behind and Elvis refused.
I lovethat the thing you noticed was the strength of the voice.. The man had a hell of a baritone.
Back in the fifties they say the guys were so angry and pissed off because the girls wanted him so badly! What to do? He changed the world!
Back then, your gurl loved you more for TAKING HER to an Elvis concert. You just gotta be understanding to give ya girl her moment :) If Elvis was her thang.. you gonna give ya girl her moment, or you dont get yours later -- or in some rare cases -- ever again!! :) hahahaha But no doubt, there were PLENTY of men that liked Elvis as well. He sung about real life stuff that guys could directly relate to. Passion & skills just off the chain. Many to this day feel he was the GOAT... it was just a unique experience.
Man, love Elvis! Grew up watching him and listening. Sad, sad day when he died. I remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard it on the radio. Just love his voice.
I would have been shaking his hand if I had the chance to do so, and I did get to see him 4 times in concert.
Where was the location that you seen Elvis?
@@michaelingram7896 Once in Las Vegas in August 1969, twice in Baton Rouge, LA at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center and once in Mobile, AL.
At least you got to see him live at least that was an experience ☺👍
What was he like in 69? Did he actually do back flips on stage like his girlfriend joyce bova said?
I saw him in concert in Houston. He was doing Burning Love and the girls behind me were going ignorant . I finally got fed up, turned around and almost dropped my teeth! It was 3 little old ladies!
Elvis had a 6th degree in Kempo Karate which he incorporates in to most of his act. Elvis was a true bad ass.
Elvis having fun on stage giving a fantastic performance love your reaction
I have listened to Elvis since 1956 n yes im old now but Elvis music keeps me young. I only got to his Alohat Concert 1973 that was broadcasted around the world and seen by 1.5 Billion people. I was 21 n even jumped up in my seat n thru him a kiss n I think he saw me as at that time I was the only crazy girl to stand up. I sat 3rd row center n couldn't take my eyes off of him I never got to meet Elvis but became good friends with Charlie Hodge his confidant and best friend for 8years after Elvis died. I wrote a journal about the stories that Charlie told me. I did get a kiss from Charlie. Oh at the Love Me Tender performance someone said he kissed around 45 girls Now I hope you reacted to Bridge Over Troubled Water Vagus 1970, Polk Salad Annie1970 Vagus, American Trilogy Aloha concert 1973( this was a big favorite of his fans n 500 more. Thank you for brining back memories
No autune in those days just pure talent
I saw him in 77- his last tour. I took my Mom, my Aunt and my Fiance. My Aunt gave him flowers-went down to the stage to get near Elvis hoping for a kiss. She was mesmerized. My Mom was too but She stayed in Her seat with Me and my Girl. My Girl knew better. The Ladies kept coming all night long. After Elvis left the building the whole front of the stage was covered with flowers, notes, and various pieces of Women's clothes(ha ha). Yes he kissed and hugged a lot of them. They were throwing themselves at Him he had no choice. They tried to pull Him off the stage.Security had to pick them up and take them out. Was at Norfolk Scope.
Your title is the most accurate critique ever made about one Mr. Elvis Aaron Presley 💯
We needed this more than ever in today's world.
probably the greatest live performance in history,charismapower electricity
Elvis "A little less conversation".
I saw Elvis 5 times! First time when I was 11 years old in 1957 - when he first became popular.No kisses though LOL
I grew up with my dad being an elvis fanatic... I've seen every movie, every song, every thing he ever bloomin done... I love him xx
My favorite Elvis song!❤️
My mom was a huge Elvis fan and I grew up listening to his music. This is my favourite song and this version in particular. I can’t hear it without wanting to imitate his stage moves.
68 comeback special... Black leather... Trying to get to you.... Watch it please... So handsome!!!!! My fave elvis!!!
ELVIS GAVE HIS ALL DOING HIS LIVE CONCERTS...ELVIS FOREVER,LOVED HIM THEN AND STILL LOVE HIM
This is only the second video of yours I've watched, but I think you have a very fresh and unique backdrop and approach. Best of luck to you!
Oh my just stunningly beautiful and his beautiful voice wow wow wow
Love how he clowns around with the lyrics and his group....just fun to watch
For a female fan to receive a kiss from Elvis Presley was an unforgettable badge of honour for her and boasting rights for any man she was with. It was also something that the recipient would never ever forget. Elvis Presley loved his fans and we will always love him. R.I.P. Elvis Presley you live on in your music and in our hearts ♥️♥️♥️ ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Great Elvis reaction! Thank you! Look forward to the next one!
Amazing performance
My mom fought for and caught a scarf from a 76’ concert...It’s behind a glass pic frame to this day! I was born in 83’ I wish I seen him live...my lil mama now 76* says “we’ll my boy, if Elvis looked at me and said let’s go honey, you prob wouldn’t be here” 😂Well damn...long live the King!
68 comeback special...the part when he is jamming on the small stage and playing guitar....the ladies are melting
I got to see Elvis in concert 1972 it was a dream come true !!!!! That was my first Concert .....
Elvis is the King 👑 of Rock n Roll!! I grew up listening to him. My mom was in love with him and she had every single one of his albums. 🤘
This is my favorite Elvis song
Polk Salad Anne live 1970 And you’ve lost that loving feeling live check them out I think you’ll really like them back up singers are incredible the band is awesome and of course Elvis’s vocals are incredible along with his dance moves high energy
He was the King for what it's worth. As Elvis said, "Rock and roll's been around for a long time they used to call it RHYTHM AND BLUES!
I saw him in concert and it was an amazing experience I will remember the rest of my life.
My favorite Elvis song. Great song ,great perfomance
There's not a whole lot of artists who get into their work that much and love the music that much
They did not call him "Elvis the pelvis" for nothing!
He hated that tho said it was the most ridiculous thing he ever heard
Nobody had it like him!!!!!
Fun reaction, thank you. It seems like you hit on most of the stuff but let me also point out the incredible bass playing going on. It's just mind-blowing. He always had the best musicians and I love the fact that he had a lot of diversity in his band. And apparently they all loved him and he was very funny offstage. But mostly I would like to point out that he was essentially an athlete. If you look at his early stuff that people like to impersonate like Jailhouse Rock or hound dog oh, yeah they're really short and you don't get a whole lot of who he really is but he's doing almost impossible things. And at this point he's a lot older but he's still in fantastic shape and some of those deep lunges that he does where he just holds it and yeah you're right man, his singing voice just still is there even when he's winded. And then he does that slow rise up? That is so physically taxing. And of course he always makes his band members feel right at home. He's almost kind of a goofball but he's also really serious and just mad Talent. He was an extraordinary character.
The King is still alive and he`s coming back...!
What do you mean? Less and less people know who he is. Keep in mind he’s been dead longer he has been alive.
The only King coming back is Jesus.
I believe Elvis is alive too. I am a fan of Elvis for life. Long live Elvis! Elvis went into hiding. He needed to address his health and a long break had to come. He wasn't happy and lonely. Now he can walk out in the open. There are so many Elvis Presley look-alikes.
I bet his school friends are not laughing at him now about how different he was biggest star on the planet and nobody not even now can match him
Hysterical, my dad got my mom tickets and had to go to work but sent my uncle with my mom 🤣dad got my mom floor seats 7 th row center lol 😂 u are so right love u brethren
And ur reactions
This is my wife’s favorite song/video of Elvis. She is from Vietnam and she can see his charisma and charm. She loves when he scares the background singer. Check out Fine Young Cannibals version. The lead singer said Elvis came to him in a dream and told him to do a version.
I don’t know if you noticed but Elvis was shy he was a jokester he was only felt comfortable on the stage saying there was only way he was able to express him true self I hope you get it he was truly amazing and Michael Jordan of music
Huge bragging rights if the king had kissed your girl and because you took her she would love you forever, well almost as much as she loved Elvis. '68 Come Back Special 'If I Can Dream' white suit version will blow you away, also 'American Trilogy' from Aloha From Hawaii.
And the girls still go crazy!!!! The men did not have control over whether their girl was going to go kiss him because she was going to kiss him regardless of anything. She forgot all about him when Elvis walked on that stage. My mom was lucky enough to see him live before I came along. He was the first man I ever had a crush on when I was a little girl and I'm only 51. The world was a more beautiful place when he was in it. I think he's the only musical artist I have ever truly mourned his death because I knew that there was never going to be anything new from him, we would never be able to hear those velvety tones live again and that's sad for the world. I'm grateful for what he left us though. I think the whole world mourned his death. But I don't think there's an artist alive today or has been since that could compare to Elvis. He was unique and special.
I missed the opportunity to get an Elvis kiss both times I saw him in person. Kids my age got birthday kisses on the cheek. Unfortunately, even though it was my birthday both times I saw him, I was too shy and scared to go up there. As I got older I wanted to kick my younger self for missing that opportunity...twice! Lol.
Understand I was around 12 at the time...lol.
HOw many people could dace & move like him & still sing great. Live performaces no auto tune not a thing with Elvis never. Great love him❤
SO MUCH CHARISMA!!!! And stunningly gorgeous!!! Many of his exes said he was a fantastic lover. lol Oh one of a kind he was!!!! My mom and I were just saying we wish we could've seen him live... but at least we've got to see Graceland. You can feel his presence there.
Finally, Suspicious Minds! I personally feel his quality of music was best after the ‘68 Comeback Special. Live version was the way to go with this!
I still remember, even at 10 years old, the day it was announced that Elvis died. I recognized it as a big event. Still, even though I knew most of his music throughout his life, I didn’t truly become a fan until I visited Graceland in 2006. My wife is a huge huge fan, so I’ve learned alot about him from her.
Funny thing about Elvis is the guys loved him almost as much as the girls. Young people and old people loved this man. I'm a 70 year old man and tear up when I watch him now. Don't know why😷✌️
My both gandma's born 1906 and 1914 loved him too. Of course they loved his ballads most!
