reaction to Elvis presley reaction, Road Medley comeback special reaction,
Elvis was showing the world he’d grown up! His legs are so long and gorgeous here! He looked simply amazing!😻
Now you gotta watch all the outtakes!😂
He's delicious!
@@SheenaRea he sure is! Holy moly!!
You made me laugh so much. Thank you. This special was so different. The first session was the jam session so relaxed and spontaneous and the second part was choreographed and was telling a story. You have to watch the gospel song that followed this.
This part of the show was meant to be something like a sort of short summary of his career - although it's not strictly factual as he wasn't just a guitar man and he didn't work in a carwash - but, hey, it goes from him trying to make it, to playing in the clubs and being in the movies. Then when we see him back in the black leather, it's brought us right back up-to-date and that's why there is a final verse with different lyrics. If you listen to it he's saying something like: 'I've come a long way from the carwash up to where I said I'd get. Now that I'm here, I know for sure that I really haven't got there yet. So I think I'll start all over and sling my guitar over my back. I'm gonna get myself back on the track and never, ever look back.' That last line is very appropriate as this was him getting himself back on the track and he didn't look back after this. Onwards and upwards Elvis 😍😊
Excellently put!
55 years to the day, December 3, 1968 when it aired, you are reacting to the ‘68 Comeback Special! Awesome!
As I remember TV specials at the time, you got a mix of songs, dances and skits. This was more dramatic and extensive than the usual skit but the director, Steve Binder, was an innovator and have to love him for nurturing Elvis' creativity after the Colonel seemed to be holding him back. A lot of this didn't make it on the the original TV show. They came out with Special Editions with unused footage years later.
That last verse of guitar man was changed to fit his career- a long way from the car wash and he’s gotten back on track and he’s never looking back!!
Best thing ever put on tv ❤. Now watch Reinventing Elvis documentary by Steve Binder
One time a journalist asked Elvis if there was anyone else he’d rather be?! To which Elvis replied “ Hell no!!” He knew he was blessed. 💕👌🕺
This was a press conference after he opened in LasVegas and when asked if he would like to be anyone else but Elvis, Elvis laughed and said, "Are you kidding"?
I heard a really old documentary where they asked one guy pretty sure it was his hair dresser ,he said Elvis would have some really deep conversations with him, He always said why me?? Why did God out of Billions of people pick me? ,His friend said I don't know but he did,and Elivis looked up and just kinda smiled! Love that man,I think there is no other man that can look or sound as sexy,and handsome as Elvis!❤👑👑👑👑👑❤️
@@mimi-422 it was Larry Geller and he was hair dresser to the stars and Elvis asked for him and they got on really well. Larry wrote a fascinating book called “ The leaves of Elvis’s Garden” all about Elvis and his spiritual search for meanings in his life. Elvis was well read and his favourite book was “ The Impersonal life” which he gave to his friends. 🙏👌💕🕺
@@julialesleysheppard Wow,Ty,I'll have to get that book,Ty so much!❤️👑🙏
The ooze of "The Elvis!" ❤❤❤❤❤!!!!!
One of my favourite scenes/songs is missing. 😪 I had a VHS cassette. After "Big Boss Man" there was a scene where Elvis tries to convince the lady of the "Big Boss" to leave him. It's also a fantastic fighting scene. The song is called "It hurts me". I think you would be impressed by the choreography.
Totally. The fight with big boss man is completely missing. For some reason, this has cut some of the scenes sort. I still enjoyed totally, but Seph should watch the entire show on his own some time to see what he missed with this version.
Don't worry i will definitely get around to all the stuff i didnt see in the near future!!
but to keep things rolling because i still have 300+ songs to listen to i will be mixing in outtakes/bloopers/repeats from the 1968 special.
So like maybe every 5 songs or so i'll cycle back and do something from the special. So by the time i get to 1977 i should have watched everything there is to see from it.
Then i can start tackling all his concerts "Which is going to take years haha"
@@SephPlays That's even better! 🥰
Bordello scene was not in the special the night it aired. Too controversial. It was released in full after his death.
I can't even describe how enjoyable this was for me!! Seph you are priceless, I'll be laughing all night at your rant mode re "Little Egypt" sooo very funny🤣🤣
Little Egypt is by far one of my most favourite movie songs to date, to hear only part of it was like "NOOOOOOOoooooOOOooOOo" in my head haha
Seph, that was impressive! Lol This wasn't in the special. Lol
Please make sure you react to the sit down jammin out session when he first walks out on stage. He was so nervous!! He plays Heartbreak Hotel....Trying To Get To You...One Night With You... That's Alright and Love Me.
I couldn't stop laughing and loved the whole reaction so much. You know the words to Little Egypt!!! That is amazing and so fun!!! Too bad some of the really great songs and moments were left out. Hope we get to see a lot more!! Thanks so, so much!!!❤❤❤
OMG! Little Egypt is one of my most fav movie songs to date :D
Fabulous.
@@SephPlays,Awesome!!❤❤❤
Oh Seph you have missed so much good stuff from the Special,looking forward to you finding it.

I don't know why the song It's Hurt Me scene and Elvis doing Karate was cut from this sequence You really have to watch it
Yes, I was waiting for it to come up as it's one of my favourite bits. Please react to it Seph, it's definitely on TH-cam.
Dont worry i will definitely being reacting to it sooner rather than later!
Yes, Seph. The original broadcast is cut a little here and there. When they aired it again later, and for Europe, there was more songs from the Sit down show and the road medley had ‘It hurts me’ also. It also had the entire Are You Lonesome Tonight. I think we should find these missing bits so you can watch them also!
It was a “variety show”. (look up ‘tv variety shows’.) The one ‘bordello scene’ was left out of the original broadcast.
Hilarious funny reaction, I laughed so hard so many times. I'm very impressed that you knew the lyrics to Little Egypt, I have never learnt it. You seem to notice pretty much everything, that's very impressive. The Warriors from 1979 was a great movie and it had a great soundtrack. Warriors come out and play...
Omg I read the book and saw the film. Yes, “warriors, come out and play”. I can hear it in my mind 😂
Youre on a roll!
SEPH,
THERE IS QUITE A BIT MORE LEFT TO THE 68 COMEBACK SPECIAL YOU HAVEN'T SEEN YET. THEY RELEASED A BOX SET AFTER ELVIS DIED WITH GREAT ELVIS SONGS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY LEFT ON THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR. I WILL MAKE YOU A LIST SO YOU CAN FINISH YOUR 68 COMEBACK SHOW JOURNEY.
Oh, thank you for making a list for Seph. I was worried about what he was missing out on by just watching this video of the '68 Special. As you said, there's so much more to it than this 😊
there are two sit down shows and two stand up shows!
I promise you i will react to everything he ever done
Good observation on the warriors connection I think the same thing everytime I see him I've watched this for the first time 37 years ago
What happened to some of the songs like Tryin to Get to You? You have to watch the songs that aren’t on this version! Too good to miss all the stuff, especially the jokes and banter from the other versions.
Don't worry i will definitely get around to all the stuff i didnt see in the near future!!
but to keep things rolling because i still have 300+ songs to listen to i will be mixing in outtakes/bloopers/repeats from the 1968 special.

You had me cracking 😂up about Elvis’s guitar. Did he just fix it. Your hilarious 🤣🤣😂😂
Fire 🔥🔥🔥
Banger banger banger
As others have commented there are a few real blockbusters missing from the list today. - but it has been an enjoyable journey nonetheless Seph.

Elvis and the cute blonde had a fling. She said
I believe Priscilla was on the audience.
I think she attended the live section only (stand up concert). And from what I read, she went there with her affair of the moment, her dance instructor 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Great mix of songs - feel sorry for you with Little Egypt but loved your reminiscing of it love you know all the lyrics but fair dos to you 💛⭐
They actually took out the Bordello scene. NBC fell it was too risqué. The production areas didn’t do as well as he just singing with the leather suit etc. Later during an Anniversary series they have outtakes on every scene. So many that on the production scenes it became boring. Although once when the Big Boss man went to break the guitar, it didn’t break and he tried again and it didn’t break. Everyone was laughing. 😂😂❤❤
You are right about the new Guitar Man words. They are new ones.
This weekend was unforgettable great!
Thank you! 🔥🔥🔥
There is much more amazing footage.
That blonde "lucky woman" in Let Yourself Go was luckier than you know. She had a fling with Elvis for about a year and a half. Her name is Susan Henning.
Amazing… glad tou did the whole thing ..even though i coukdng really see it but heard it
Just enjoy Elvis and ignore the rest.🙂
😂 lol reaction that was so good you know the words to little Egypt. Your face at the start brilliant ❤
lots cut here - for instance blue suede shoes from stand up shows is just amazing and this segment cut a fight scene with big boss goons and it hurts me. aw well more for you tomorrow then lol. oh and don't forget one of the most amazing things you'll ever see - Tiger man then Trying To Get To You.

House of ill repute, they use to say, part of the big city life he ain;t use to, just a plain old country boy. The guitar man goes to the big city. It is a story and similar to his story, Tennessee boy sees the seedy part of life, a long way from the church. How do you like the karate moves. Thanks Seph.
This was a homage to his movie persona, only better.
This karate segment was probably Elvis’s idea
Big boss man looks like Peter Grant
A bit naughty! But boy he looks good!
They cut the fight scene out.😢 Just FYI. Due to tv censorship rules at the time, a women was not allowed to show their bellybutton on tv. Thus, the jewel is glued into her bellybutton. Also, the bordello scene was not in the original showing. Immediately after his death, networks begun showing his movie, special, etc. in memory of him. When this special was pulled from the archive, it was the 90 minute version, not the 60 minute version. Fans got to see footage they had never seen.
That's crazy that they cut that!
Blue denim
This was too sexy for TV in 1968 and was released after his death. Boss man must have been 6' 4" or 6' 5" - Elvis was 6'. Not a fan of the music in the dance number. They're mixing up the scenes from one part to another, whoever put this together.
"Let Yourself Go" and Susan Henning is essential, ❤ but I can easily do without the bordello scene, especially the "spinning fan" effect, as well as the stand-alone dance scene (of which the music gets on my nerves.) 🥴I find it interesting, though, that the lead dancer here (also from the cut "It Hurts Me" scene) is the other choreographer of the Special, Jaime Rogers (featured dancer in 1961's West Side Story), working with his own group of dancers!
The sponsors decided not to show this part on TV in 1968, because they thought it too sexual.
That was a gold lame jacket and back in 1968 it cost $10,000.00.
WOW! That's one expensive jacket right there!
Just enjoy the Elvis stop analyzing everything its a tv special ❤
We watch it for the analysis.
He's got to pause it to avoid TH-cam strikes, might as well analyze while pausing 🙂
How's he going to analyze if he doesn't analyze?
Well watch it elsewhere then - the analysis for Elvis fans is the fun part
Why are you watching a reaction if you don’t want to hear Seph react?? His analysis is excellent and interesting.
