Lyrics:
Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
For in Dixieland, I was born
Early Lord one frosty morning
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
You know your daddy's bound to die
But all my trials Lord, will soon be over
Glory, glory, hallelujah
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on

Anyone else feel like they are going to cry every time they hear this?
It is because it hits you with the love of the South and America, something that people hold dear. It also honors God.
Amen brother.
no
I do, really hurts at this time in our history.
That's the Elvis way
Does anyone else get goose bumps listening to this???
Especially around 2:30
always bro
@@cyndieriksen mine's 3:35
We miss you ElvisPresley xxx goodnight and God bless you ElvisPresley
@@john8621 Me too.
This concert, in my opinion is the greatest live performance of any entertainer ever.
No one will ever replace Elvis Presley, the king for eternity.
Jesus is the king orf eternity ,Elvis is an entertainer
❤ always El rest in peace and thanks for the memories!
I agree
Thankfully 🤮🤮🤮🤮
DRUGS KILLED HIM…..
3:32 The look on his face, the turn to the audience, and that punch up to the air as if summoning the power of a heavenly choir. For the next 40 seconds he will own a level of command over an audience rarely achieved by a performer on stage. Truly powerful and magnificent to watch, especially when considering just how many people were watching at the time.
That a good comment actually because watching it does make you feel like that as viewer love the comment actually
Good comment 👍
All of these responses to this song recognize the same thing. Heaven came down and Glory filled our souls!!
When the trumpets sound off….goose bumps and tears!!!
How he transformed on stage was extraordinary. In the run-up to this - he looked liked he was hyperventilating and about to bolt.
What other singer can carry
- a full orchestra
- a rock band
- a choir?
Elvis has so many textures in his vocal ability, that to this day no one is close.
Liam gallacher done it in oasis whatever song but elvis is amazing too
He was the conductor of all that on stage ... the backing choir, band, orchestra .... he was conducting it all!
Don’t forget that his voice is as solid as a rock! This one guy tried to auto tune it like Michael Jackson’s songs, and it didn’t work because Elvis’s voice was to good! God bless brother.
I agree. No fancy gimmicks,no special mics or auto tune then.
His Idol...Frank Sinatra
Elvis is an impossible loss for humanity. May you never be forgotten
The Greatest Single Performance For America . . At The Time When It Is Needed The Most . . By The Greatest Entertainer To Ever Hold A Mic In His Hand . . . Elvis Presley . . I Was Honored To Spend A Little Time With Him . . .
YO SOY EL QUE SOY ABRAZO GIGANTE GRACIAS TOTALES..👍👁☝️🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
The whole buildup after the flute is just on another level to anything else.
Yes
Well said!
My dads funeral song so powerful 💙
YESSSSS
i think this is the best buildup ive ever heard
The greatest and most powerful concert moment ever recorded in history. Over a billion people viewed that moment live in 1973. Nothing else has or will ever come close.
Elvis concert 1973 is first place and then Queens live aid is 2nd
Amen!!! MY parents took me to see Elvis in concert at 10yrs old! 3rd row center stage in Toledo ohio before he died! I'm 56 now and Elvis Presley is the Greatest Singer to EVER be on a stage!!! Been to Graceland and grew up listening to Elvis everyday! My family is Infatuated with him!!❤ God bless. Frank Balazs Toledo ohio
@@sotgamer1522Woodstock 69 is definitely top 3 with those you mentioned
Nooo doubt!
@@frankbalazs8816The older I got, the more I got fascinated with Elvis. After that Tupelo and Graceland visits respectively, that’s when my Elvis addiction took off.
Who's listening to this in 2024 ?
That sound, that charisma, that voice... I'd have given anything to see it with my own eyes.
American master works, I saw him in1967. Terry kenney😊's
I wish i could have seen him i was only 17 when he died🏴
Unfortunately he never came to the UK would have loved to have seen him.
His voice is magical , always was
Oh that magical voice, I'm so happy I was a girl of the 50's and even tho I never saw him in person, I would wait in line with my friends to see his movies and have friends over to watch him on television, he will live forever thru his❤ music
An American Trilogy is superbly sung by Elvis, like no other!
My mother and father flew to this concert with their best friends when I was only 9. When he sang this song, my mom's friend Ginny actually got so moved and emotional, she passed out! My dad and his friend had to grab her and hold her up. People were crying and fainting from the high emotion. My mother is now 80 and she still talks about this concert to this day. When Ginny died 4 years ago, they played this song as you walked into the church and they had a photo of Elvis along with other photos telling her life story, on a table with candles. I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about it. God was only able to make one Elvis and will never be able to replicate that talent and presence again.
Oh my gosh! Your entire comment bears weight from above! ♥️
I can only imagine.. what an experience!
@@LionTheHeart HaLaLuYaH
It's as close as anyone in this mortal coil will ever get to seeing the face of God.
Laurel I can vouch for the tears & high emotion as I was privledged to be there also that nite as an 18 yr. Old. I too did see some Women hysterical & passing out ( maybe one was Ginny 🤔 ) When Elvis sang Triology even Big Burly Hawaiian guys were reduced to tears such was the KING's moving, emotional & powerful delivery. It was a surreal experience. Apart from getting married & having children, that nite was the highlight of my life.
I remember it like yesterday ( especially American Trilogy ... the MOTHER of all live performances )
The ULTIMATE concert sung by the ULTIMATE performer.
Appreciate your beautiful story as I can relate to it. All the best to your Mum also. Would be great to have a chat to her about that incredible groundbreaking nite.
ELVIS TCB ☇FOREVER
For any doubters...THIS is why WE call HIM...The KING!
To quote someone else, God was showing off when he made Elvis.
This is the same man who started it all in 1956 . What a singer
❤
The Greatest
Swfh yhcjxg jkjh ñmngn😢jjgkn 4656
True, the blueprint for all stars to follow. He was the first superstar, the first person to use their appearance and charm to win over audiences on TV and connect with people on a physical level that went beyond just the music. His whole heart and physical being was music.
You are quite correct my friend
If this doesn't give you goosebumps you must have a heart of stone.
That or the listener just has no sense of great music and art
AND makes me cry every time.
This was playing in the memorabilia room at Graceland when I was there... Hairs on my body were upright.. Was the weirdest feeling. Its an amazing place to visit
Or a wooden heart
He could just be talking not even singing and still give me goosebumps he just had a unique voice
This is only a theory, but I think this was probably the highlight of Elvis’s career, getting to sing Glory Glory Hallelujah in front of 1.5 billion viewers.
Yes, absolutely correct. ELVIS gave Testimony of his faith in God - wonderful to see this performance! He walked with his maker. One day we will meet on the golden shore like he sings. Thank you for your love towards us! We love you always!
This MAN never forgot where he came from...neither have I!
I lived 15 minutes from Graceland, as a kid. Visited Graceland more than 10 times before he died.(at that time the gates were open on Sunday's and you could walk up to the front of the house on the driveway). I remember my Mom and I were going somewhere on Elvis Presley Boulevard the day of the viewing of his body, and to this day I have never seen so many people in one place. It was unbelievable and sad. Something I'll never forget.
I am thr same age as Lisa Marie. We eere born 5 days apart in the same hospital. I was 9 when Elvis past away and it was hard for me. I had never dealt with death in my life and I loved Elvis. Still do to this day. I've been a student of him many, many, years.
People today don't really understand the impact and love that he brought to people all over the world. There will never be another Elvis!
I'm just a physically broken, retired veteran.
But this song...
And considering what Elvis went through...
He served in Army...
He's endured different types of deep, emotional scars, that could not heal. ....
But this, ties a strong message, that I think, many of us all, can ponder upon.
Consider each day a gift, to do a good deeds, because it could be our last day on earth.
"Then all our troubles, will soon be over."
..so much Grieve in this World
No need to add to it
Well Said Mr Eby
Well said Roy
Thank you for your service‼️
Thinking of you my man ..your the people we love n care about you fight for us but end up alone .i love you xx
😢
This should be the U.S National Anthem. Literally has three anthems in it along with Elvis singing it, I call that a win.
I agree. The problem is no one would be able to sing it like this!
@@GarretGrayCamera 😂 Valid. Just use a voice recording of Elvis haha.
When he says “ sing it fellas” that’s when we would sing! Lol love the idea tho!
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Elvis would say:
Youre right son!
You know why Elvis Presley is the King of Entertainment ?
Because he had 3 in one
The looks
The presence
The personality at aLL time during his 42 years on Planet Earth
Just lost my brother-in-law ,this song was played at his funeral he loved elvis .🇦🇺
One thing I’ve noticed when watching Elvis perform is he’s always very supportive of his back up singers and players. He always seems to watch them while they play he just seems so respectful towards them
❤ elvis è sempre stato generoso verso tutti anche a chi lo ha sfruttato ,,lo ho sempre amato e lo amo.ancora le sue canzoni sono l'eredità di mia figlia ❤❤❤
He had a complete and total CONNECTION with this band
Elvis was the kindest man whoever lived . forget the amazing talent.his strength was kindness
I hate to burst your bubble, but while he did make sure he took care of his band and backup singers -- producer Felton Jarvis was ill and couldn't handle the Madison Square Garden concerts in June 1972, so Elvis told the Garden promoters they had to pay Jarvis as if he was there, or he wouldn't do it -- he was also "conducting." J.D. Sumner of the Stamps said everybody had to watch him, for his cues and his expressions. If he was smiling, you were doing well. If he wasn't, you weren't.
Ray Charles did the same thing: He wasn't swaying to the music like people think.
@@UncleMikeNJ I've never heard anything but praise about how not only kind he was to his band, but, yes, how professional and demanding he was. You can be both. One overlooked side of Elvis is how painstaking he was. He knew the sound he wanted, and would work to get it. So, yeah, he wasn't just a happy go lucky whatever guy, but that's not a defect.
The best looking man that ever lived and no one will,ever sing like him he’s just beautiful ❤❤❤❤
Hes naw as beautiful as me 😊
I grew up in Elvis’s hometown of Tupelo, MS. I had just come home from 2 years in Vietnam in 1973. I needed this. The greatest voice and entertainer of all time.
Welcome home❤
salute to you Brother and amen God bless this awesome human👍💪✝️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ greetings from The Netherlands
Welcome Home, Buddy.
Glad you made it home…thank you.
What is amazing about this minute in time-Elvis is singing this song to God with 1.5 billion people watching. What a powerful message to a creator. You can tell that there was tears.
That last part before the big finish, you cannot be human and not get goosebumps. Pure greatness. RIP, Sir.
Only the Elvis character died that's all the physical person who played Elvis is still alive and well his new identity is pastor Bob Joyce it's already been proven that he's Elvis
Just call him Elvis
@@prestongower7800 Man could Bob sing!
@@joenwc because Bob Joyce is Elvis's new identity that's why he can sing plus go listen to Bob Joyce sing hallelujah they sing it exactly the same exact way
@@prestongower7800 Joyce is a FAKE trying to live off of Elvis, with mindless cult followers.
This man was the greatest entertainer who ever lived.
Amen

You were sent from God, Elvis.

My mom loved Elvis and this song. She passed away on January 27, 2024. Every time I listen to this song I get chills and cry. I miss her so much but I know she is in Heaven listening to this song being played by God’s angels.
👍❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. My mom passed on February 6, 2024 and we played this song at her funeral because it was her favorite song.
When my momma passed, she loved Elvis , we had a pic of Elvis and played some of his songs, amazing Grace being one of them 💔💔 sure do miss my momma and Elvis, nobody will ever come close to his ability to sing ,, 💔💔
So sorry you lost loved ones who loved Elvis. May they and Elvis rest in peace
❤❤
I don't think there is a single performance that gives more goosebumps than this
Just heard it on the way home from work, CHILLS everytime I've ever heard it.
Same here
My all time favourite… like every one of his songs have been… love Elvis ❤️💕❤️ love from Canada 🇨🇦
Unchained Melody
No one has ever given me goosebumps like this performance. I may have with few other songs of other performers but I don’t recall.
No flashy lights or effects ... just a bunch of great musicians on a stage working together to give the best performance they can give.
Couldn't of put it better
Nailed it
Well, there's the rhinestone bellbottom suit, the sideburns, the physicality of the performance. Elvis was the effect.
2024, still literally one of the most beautiful things I've heard.
I don't understand how is it even a debate that he is by far the greatest ever? when, after 18 years of career, you can pull this majestic performance off, with 1.5B people watching/listening to you live... and it has been 50 years and nobody even came close to that number (except live-aid which featured different artists where Aloha from Hawaii features only Elvis). I would say that this and probably some of the other mind-boggling records Elvis still holds to this day, does indeed solidify him as greatest to ever do it.
This is not just a show, a performance, he was worshiping God, expressing his faith with all his heart, all his voice, all his talent, he delivered everything he could in this song. Elvis maybe was in dark places emotionally sometimes, but he had a heart for God and music, nobody can doubt that.
Amen
Amen
Elvis Presley was a Phenomenal Singer and he will be missed by so many of his Fans all over the world 🌍
Amen
Couldn’t have said it better @Thiago Prado F. Santos
If you don’t get chills listening to this, you are not alive….
Elvis is the bar set high..Nobody in history could boom those sounds, his unique octaves that only by the grace of God gave him that..Imagine him singing into to the 80s, 90s.no tricks, no recording editing, just him..A gift from God..No wonder he was gospel.
The world stopped to watch this man. Took my mother and aunts to see him in Vegas. A memory that will last forever.
How was the show ,and how did it go
Amazing. I don't care what music you're into. You can't deny that's iconic.
Beautiful legendary ❤️ 💖
@@johnfloyd4166yeah
Easily one of his best performance ever, a masterpiece
For sure
Surely a masterpiece!!! He sings from bottom of the heart and soul !!! SP Brazil
@@albisun4485 No one else can do this justice.
Thanks so much
I´m in tears... again.
Magnificent. The snarl, the muttering, the cacophony of noise, the thrust of beat acknowledgement , the wipe, every single time
My world stops with this song. The power is indescribable.
Same here
Fan of Elvis since I was born I went Graceland 3
This is absolutely the best version too, like i had to hunt this down. They used it in the kickass soundtrack but then replaced it with the way tamer philharmonic version on Spotify. Took forever to find
I know what you mean. I hold my breath when I hear him sing it.
The man
This video seals the deal. Elvis was, is, and always will be the KING.
OH YEA...
Amen to that'll 🎉
@@richardsparks6771 wow did u copy paste that all by yourself? Lighten up! Elvis IS the King
Nobody will ever come close to Elvis he was such a beautiful Singer and damn so damn fine ❤❤
Is it normal for 65-year-old to still cry over Elvis
Absolutely
To this day 💖
Not normal if you don't
Magnificent song so strong and powerful ❤
I'm 39 and cry at so many of his songs! Weirdly my mum was a fan but I got the Elvis bug via watching films with my grandad ❤
Those in the audience certainly got their moneys worth. No one else could sing like him.
ELVIS TICKETS EVEN AT VEGAS WERE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL. ELVIS WANTED ANY AND ALL FANS TO BE ABLE TO SEE HIM PERFORM. SO $2.50 UP TO 15 DOLLARS IN THE 70S EQUALS TO BOT VERY NUCH LIKE 15 TO 20$$ FOR THE CHEAPEST TICKET TODAY TO SEE THE KING.
They all said he couldn't pull this Trilogy off. He showed them why he is King
I was there....
That might be the voice of God
The concert was a "pay what you can" type of thing. It all went to charity aswell, a cancer research center.
I dont know how the youtube algorithm brought me here but this is my first time hearing this performance by Elvis and my mind is blown. He died long before my time but I cant get my head around the power of his voice.
No one will ever sound like him . He is the BEST !
Listen also his studio version of Bridge over Troubled Water and ,unfortunately, little'know Songs like Long Black Limousine, Power of my Love, Thinking About You or Loving Arms...Pure Magic
Then you have a lot of listening to do! Enjoy! Here's an earlier masterpiece that he also choreographed... th-cam.com/video/gj0Rz-uP4Mk/w-d-xo.html
Yes, power of the spirit. He has brought the lancet togetgher. tcb
He touched the world I’m in Australia and our country loved him. What a legend 😍
The live version is better than the studio song. That’s why he’s the king
That's why ELVIS ruled Vegas his LIVE performances
Most underrated song of all time, one of the best in music history.
I'm going with....
If I Can Dream...
REMEMBER THE KING 1 8 35 🐕 🕶
Totally agree. Excellent post.
minha gatona eu te amo te adoro muito
Underrated? By whom? Idiots?
@@alexsiqueira9536you just want a green card. Hush up
This man was loved worldwide to a vast array of people, countries, races, no one had this mass appeal, no one.
A truly annointed man sent from heaven above., this will never be duplicated or seen again.
No one ever was as magnetic, or charasmatic, and that's just the way it is.
Elvis was a gift to us all from GOD HIMSELF!!
I'm pretty sure if he was still alive, he would be 86, wear that jumpsuit and STILL steal the show wherever he went.
mj?
@@yourstrulydavid9966 MJ was great. But he's no Elvis.
I love how he has a Bad Ass bass singer, and a FLUTE PLAYER!!! Oh, and he also has a bass trombone player who can play pedal tones.
For those of you who don't know the story behind this, the flute player doing the solo, had missed a note BADLY the night before during the performance. The look Elvis gave him on this night, was one of approval and redemption after a flawless solo on this version. My Dad educated me on this, the HUGE fan that he was, back in the early '80's. Thanks for the memories Dad.
I always figured that's what that look was for from seeing the other take of this. That was a rough note in the other version.
name of the flute player??
@@IntellegentBatMat Gabe Baltazar, a native Hawaiian.
@@IntellegentBatMat Gabe Baltazar. He died in 2022. Was from there in Hawaii.
Nice
What modern song exists that is more emotional and beautiful? No autotuners...just raw talent. He truly was the King of Rock and Roll.
I am 75 years old this man was one of the greatest of all time. A man of love and caring
not one of the greatest of all time…. He’s the greatest of all time
@@rodriguez0698 Elvis King Forever
He WAS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME❣️❣️❣️❣️🎸🎤🚜🎼🎹🎆🎆🎶⚡️🎶⚡️
Me french but elvis i love❤
Still is
I watched this live in tv. How fortunate I was to see this in real time. Elvis was on another level
Me too - I remember seeing this live on TV.
@@robthx1 lucky 🥲
Yes you were!!!!
dcran4d I was near you when we both watched the King singing live back in 1973 and I remembered when you broke down with tears flooding down your eyes with deep heart felt emotions. I was the guy you rested your head on my chest while you were weeping and I whispered in your ear 'who loves you baby?'
As a guitarist and musician, I can say that Elvis was one in only 5,000 years a talent...
All the younger generations who have watched the new Elvis movie can now appreciate what an absolute genius this man was, his voice , his stage presence literally everything about him , such a shame we lost him so young 😢this is the best live performance of all time
No only elvis
Elvis is allready for mulitple years my most listened artist and most numbers in my playlist. He is the best
He puts everyone else in the shade ❤
AGREED...
Spot on. Presence, charisma, talent, passion and emotion, and far more talented than people give him credit for. Been listening to him since i was 8 years old. I'm 58 now and people will be listening to Elvis long after i'm gone
Chills every damn time he hits those notes at the end
No earpieces for hearing the beat for anyone
Just straight up live music.
Pure talent and a gift for God
My mother passed away 3 days ago. She loved Elvis. I was raised on Elvis. Both will stay close to my heart.
I watched the new Elvis movie last night. I cried and cried. I've always adored him since I was a child but it was because my dad loved him so much. We saw him in Independence ,MO in 1973. I was six and seeing that movie just brought back so much of my childhood and make me miss my dad as he lives out of state. I'm so sorry about your mom. I pray she is smiling blessings down upon you and maybe she's met Elvis in that big concert arena in the heavens. ❤
So so sorry for your loss. I was raised on elvis too xx
Sorry for your loss may she Rest In Peace
Matt, so sorry to hear about your mom. We were both raised on Elvis and my dad passed in January. I wish you well. God bless you, Matt. RIP Elvis, RIP Matt’s mom, and RIP dad. We all miss you ❤️❤️❤️
May she rest in peace, God bless you 🙏
3:15 this moment for me is what makes this the greatest live performance of all time. Look at him staring down his own band like they're going to battle. Talking to them, screaming... Like they're going to absolutely kill this last part. I try not to watch this performance to often but I always cry like a little boy when I do.
THIS is music. THIS is what a true artist looks like.
Well, from what I hear, he was yelling out instructions to make sure they hit their marks correctly. They had screwed it up in the rehearsal and he wasn't too happy. So, the look of determination on his face was "Don't screw this up,my name is all over this".
@@noeltaylor3594 Read his lips.... he was ANYTHING but "don't screw this up!"
I totally agree, Elvis was definitely a man that was put on this earth for a different reason and we all know then and now why, he didn't see hate,color, judgement, only music and he not only saw it he felt it, and that was the difference in Elvis!! What a great and blessed man!!!!!!
@@noeltaylor3594 You can see the inspiration on his face and in his eyes. He was into it and not the instructions...geesh !
@@darelmaxfield2145 exactly ! Instructions...that made me laugh .
When my dear mother was in her last days, barely responding, I put this video on and put the phone to her ear.
Never forget the way her eyebrows shot up, one last little spark. Fighting back tears every time I hear this
music is such a powerful tool, and it shows
good boy
Who's Listening In 2024 To A Rock Roll Legend ❤ The Man Himself ELVIS PRESLEY👏👏👏,
I do every day!
Me too!!❤❤❤❤
Me From H K
always listening.
Everyday.
Anyone who disrespects Elvis and gives him the thumbs down has absolutely No taste in music! He is the most talented artist in this entire universe! God given golden voice given to him from the man upstairs. God gave him the looks, the body, that golden voice! He gave him all three and when he made Elvis they broke the mold🙏🏻🙏🏻💕💕💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🎶🎶⚡️⚡️
I have an answer for you it's called brain dead jealousy 👍
This is even better than the recorded versions
THIS is the Elvis we should all remember.. Pure Entertainment !
No one but Elvis can pull this song off!!
A Southern gentleman who always put his Mother first. That sweet love and kindness drove him to greatness.
Mothers are God gift to us....I know he has blessed me
Yes, that and the fact that he was painfully good looking. Like so good looking it feels like there should be a halo of light all around his face at all times.
Watched Elvis in Hawaii on tv as a kid. He was amazing. This is undoubtedly my Dad's favorite song
I never thought this before, but notice how quiet that massive audiance is in the softest parts of that song? Everyone was mesmerized by him.Amazing performance.❤
That voice was once in a lifetime “GIFT FROM GOD”🙏🏻🔥
In this song it is possible to see Elvis feeling the presence of God.
I believe he did, I read an article on elvis about a medium contacting him. It’s a very long read, but it’s well worth it.
It’s called “Conversations With Dead People: A Medium’s Session With Elvis Presley”
If you’re interested.
And you believed it?😂
@@usagiwhitenightI AM A METHODIST WOMAN He NEVER Once Went for you stuff ! HE WAS A CHRISTIAN MAN!
3:15 -- I love the way how Elvis is staring, in a passionate rage waiting for the triumphtic instrumentals. His voice was unmatched, UNMATCHED!
Gives me goosebumps every time!!!
Just what I was thinking. There are so many moments in this staggering , devastating performance. That last held note. Utter commitment to the material. Whe the trumpets do kick in and detonate, I always think no voice can match that , they'll just be buried.
.... Glory , Glory...
My favorite part too. That snarl!
Especially when he sang this song, he poured his heart, his soul, his EVERYTHING into this!
I've always said, that's when E turns into a badass!!!!!!!
I never tire of hearing The King sing Trilogy, absolutely inspiring .
He will be miss😢and his Daughter too,there would never be another Singer like Elvis, he’s one of a kind he will always be in my Hart.❤
I’m a “An American Trilogy” hunter, seeking out every version ever recorded.
After a lifetime of extensive research and analytics, I can finally announce this is the best version. I’m not wrong by the way.
You are 💯% CORRECT!
It's my death song just hope someone plays it for me when I die or just before.
Gives me goosebumps and I love the octaves he hits when he sings it and the band playing .
We all new that without any "research " . lmao
glad your so ARROGANT as to post " your not wrong"
I’ve asked for this to be played at my funeral - this or How Great Thou Art, both so so beautiful
Sorry if I’m sounding condescending… but you’ve spent your lifetime listening to American trilogy, apart from the guy who first sang American trilogy.. and in his most iconic concert?
Omg omg..words cannot express that voice..
Thank you
Glory Glory Halaloua!
I agree
Glory to God/God bless God who’s name is Jah which is what Alelujah means
I'm 77 + Elvis fan since the 50's n saw his '68 comeback special among others later on...'73 Hawaii World concert etc n whaaaat can I say... I'm a very straight red-blooded American male but ya just couldn't take yr eyes off him n had that world class unmistakable voice, charisma n talent unsurpassed to this day... not to mention the orchestra the incredible jumpsuits, backup singers n Vegas crowd et al...was during the Sinatra Tony Bennett Tom Jones Humperdinck era... wouldn't that a been a great weekend??? Anyway so happy all these videos/movies remain...TO THE KING!
This always brings tears to my eyes, especially when Elvis says so hush little baby, don't you cry, you know your Daddy's bound to die. I think this was one of the best concerts Elvis ever preformed. Perfection for sure.
Yes!
I saw it with my wife, parents, aunt & uncle (not for the first time) in the movie theater at Graceland Christmastime 2017. It was awesome! My mom & aunt are longtime fans so it’s always great to talk Elvis with them. If anyone has a chance to go to Graceland check the movie times. I don’t think there was an additional charge. It might have been included with the hotel though. I’m not sure.
Gives me goosebumps every time I listen.
Who isn’t bound to die? Who lives forever? But, little babies don’t know it, we knows, and still we continue to bring them into a temporary life, which starts with a heavy cry and ends in full of tears.
I saw the movie when it first came out.
I was lucky enough to see Elvis in person in 1975, Atlanta, when I was 10 years old. He still gives me chills.
wow tell me how it was!
Lucky
I also saw Elvis at ten years old. It was 1970 at his Las Vegas show. It was mesmerizing. Someone put me up on the stage and I got a kiss from him! I'll never forget that day.
@@melodynickoloff7623 wow is there any footage of that?
@@Julia93939393 I don't think there is. My sister and I were led up front to the stage because my uncle worked in the casino of The International Hotel. A man in the front row spontaneously lifted me on the stage. Elvis gave me a hug and then kissed me. I kissed him on the sideburns. It was 52 years ago, but I'll never forget it.
Many could probably write the music but only Elvis could really tell the story! Forever the King 👑
Superstar till forever
Never will be forgotten.
Thank you 🙏✨
The king singing about the main king. Beyond priceless.
50 years after this concert STILL DYNAMIC ELVIS!!!!!!!

Elvis Presley.
The Biggest star in the sky.
This is my favorite with the orchestra and Elvis of all the times he sang this song🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🔥🙏🏻. The flute player is the best of all flute players that played with Elvis❣️
I can't get enough of his performance. This song especially. This was truly Elvis's best performance ever.
I agree, everytime I hear it, I find something more I like about it.
I’m hearing him since the 60ies and I never get tired to hear that amazing voice …
Concordo plenamente
@@florafragoso9406Hello my name is Alex how are you? Where are you commenting from??
Just class...Still 😊😊
When this song and performance, which played to over a billion people, is only a footnote in your biopic. You know you are a legend beyond reckoning.
This man does it all.how he conducts his band and back up singers. He’s a genius.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ always love him.Vonnie ❤❤
His band was incredible
I love how you can see the passion I'm his face. I'm only 30 and most people I know don't understand why I love Elvis. Every time I listen to him he gives me chills. One of the most amazing singers of all time and one of my top 3.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He still gives me chills. My 17 and 18 year old nieces, love Elvis.
Im still 19 and i love Elvis....
Elvis and Freddy Mercury to me are the greatest natural vocalist of all time. Of course I have Elvis on a different level. I e always said God sent us Elvis so we could know what Angels sing like.
It is refreshing to see his passion. Most celebrities today keep a stone cold bitch face as if its cool.
The whole band in sync when Elvis pumped his fist at the end.. god given talents
& A SHIT TON OF REHEARSALS
I'm 65, I love him so much. I always cry when I hear this.
What a handsome man we will never forget elvis
When God made Elvis Presley, he broke the mold. I can't get enough of his powerful voice. I have been a fan of his, since I was 3 1/2 years old (March of 1960. I'm now 65& even more of a fan than ever.
Me too
He is God lol and Im his Son!
Me too I was born in 1969
Me too!
Of dixie
I love how he calms the audience down with a solo flute player at 2:54 to prepare them for the finale which starts as a loudening rumble as Elvis looks at his band with a look on his face at 3:36 as if thinking “kill it!” as they escalate into the finale which was a grand slam in my opinion. Goosebumps.
He's a Jinx! That's sorcery he's using.
@@jasminnemcdonald94A Are you sure? Please elaborate.
@@jasminnemcdonald94A
It’s not sorcery, it is conducting the orchestra.
@@Maxelzyyou say tomato, I say potato. Let's call the whole thing off.
@@jasminnemcdonald94A Potato (root) and tomato (fruit) have something in common, both are categorized as food for people, who use the fire to cook and eat them. Since the source of Jinn is the fire, do you think we can become some kind of Jinx to each other?
I cry EVERYTIME! This is the most powerful thing ever recorded. Elvis loved his band. Ronnie Tutt! Amazing drummer!
It's Friday may 3rd 2024 im 73 makes me cry love him so much rip my freind love Betsy 🙏
When Elvis died someone said " a man is never truly dead until he is forgotten, long live the King! The boy who dared to Rock." Elvis was born in Mississippi, so he could sing this song with conviction.
It's so sad that Elvis always worried that no one would remember him. I wish he could see the impact he had on music and how to this day his legacy carries on and is passed on through the generations. I wasn't even born when he was alive but I was brought up on his music through my mom who was a huge fan. He will never be forgotten.
I've always heard "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." That sure applies to Elvis music.
