All of his live performances in Vegas are incredible. You need to check more of them out. Also Elvis had a fascination with martial arts at an early age and held a black belt in karate. Hence the incredible moves in this video. He was awarded the 8th degree black belt in 1974. You know I love me some Elvis AND you get to hear him say "thank you very much" in the end. RIP Elvis and Lisa Marie
Exactly. I remember seeing him talk about his black belt in interviews. He was proud of his physical ability. It makes what happened towards the end even sadder. Such a waste. Such a shame. His torso was the reason Ed Sullivan ordered the cameras to show him only from the waist up. He seems so tame now but his movements were considered lewd back then. Wow, how things have changed in my lifetime!
@@karensilvera6694 I was in the 7th grade and living in Memphis. I loved him all my life and married into an EP freak family lol. They have so many stories, from my mother in law seeing him at a bowling alley and taking the butt of the cigarette that he put out (she still has it) and getting a pic with him to my husbands uncle just being at Graceland and Elvis drives in and he takes off running trying to meet him. And yeah, he got arrested but the charges were dropped. So many great stories that we all still talk about. Our love for his music has passed down to my daughter and 14 yo granddaughter who proudly wears her Elvis shirts to high school
****THE KING*****THE G.O.A.T.****THE MAGNET****THE UNREACHEABLE STAR*** THE KING OF GENEROSITY*** There will never be another ELVIS PRESLEY ..NEVER... ***LONG LIVE THE KING*****
Elvis began Karate in the Army and studied martial arts the rest of his life. Became a 9th degree black belt. His band were highly regarded top studio musicians and orchestras. He could afford them, and got the top talent. Please react to him introducing his band members.
You don’t hear Elvis sing . You feel him sing . He certainly will take you to Church . If i want an automatic mood change on days Im down . I listen to Elvis and all is well in the world . Only person to have that effect on me . If I’m not careful I’ll have to wipe my eyes from joy . E. P. Rip in peace . TCB ⚡️.
It's not just his voice though, he was a brilliant arranger and arranged a lot or most of his stuff. As well as his own moves and the way he interacts with his amazing band and if you look at behind the scenes footage, they work really hard but they're really close knit and they have a lot of fun and they prank each other and it was just a wonderful phenomenon.
He gave all he had. He left it all on the stage. And Elvis had so much more to give than any other entertainer. That's why he will always be known as the King. Elvis was, is, and always will be the GOAT (greatest of all time).
Elvis was in charge on stage. A lot of his hand gestures, moves and voice were actually Elvis imploring his band and singers to follow hm, especially his drummer. I was fortunate to have seem him live 5 times. His live shows were awesome.
Ronnie Tutt his drummer once said playing for Elvis was like playing for a Stripper, You had to watch every move and hit that beat. He and Elvis were so in tune with each other. I really liked your reaction. Please keep going deeper into the Rabbit Hole, You will truly be a fan when you have heard the early elvis , the middle Elvis, the soft and the gospel, and the Rock Ellvis . Again, Thank You .
I envy you. I had just graduated from college the year he died. My parents were both fans, so as a child I think they took me to all his movies. Even the worst of the movies (because the script was not good) had at least one or two good songs. The thrill of seeing Elvis sing to us in glorious Technicolor was worth the ticket price.
Ronnie, the drummer, was awesome in all the live concerts. He said in an interview that Elvis was like following a stripper. 😅He said you never knew exactly what Elvis would do. The whole band was terrific. ❤
He had a black belt in karate. That is why he was flexible. Why was he great? Talent, charm, charisma, looks, kindness, generosity, ground breaker, catalyst of social change.
They did those transitions during the song so effortlessly because he had certain signals he gave to the band while the song was being performed. They knew that they always had to keep their eyes on him at all times, because he'd change things up on the spur of the moment. Notice the connection with him and his drummer. The dance moves he'd do were kind of like a challenge between the two of them. And for every move Elvis made there was a beat of the drum. He kept them all on their toes! Love watching Elvis, his band, and back up singers perform!!
@Sebs- One of Elvis's greatest performances ever with Suspicious minds. This was Elvis in vegas in 1970. The main reason why Elvis is the greatest ever is bc of his voice, Stage presence, Carisma, and Entertaining aspect. I reccomend you. react to Elvis performing the song Polk salad annie.
He died 2 yrs after I was born, but I've always been fascinated with him. He just had the entire package. Looks, height, body, voice and most of all charisma. He owned whatever room he entered. Great reaction, loved it!! ❤
Thank you for reacting to Elvis’s music. Elvis didn’t think he’d be remembered. I’m at the age where I was blessed to be able to attend two of his live concerts. I was extremely young, 6 years old and then again at 8. It always touches my heart when this younger generation discovers Elvis.
I went and saw the movie.. have to say Austin Butler did some justice .. incredible that he was singing himself... I know he won the Golden Globe.. he should have won the Oscar.. he immersed himself into Elvis's life for 2 yrs.. I was raised on Elvis.. and I loved the movie.
there is not a day that goes by that i don't think of him and all the memories we made in 10 short years, his death knocked the wind out of me i have never been the same since, Elvis was the big brother i never had. He is also my guardian angel. Graceland is my go to place when it get's to hard to live w/o my friend i go there and walk around and remember Elvis and all the beautiful times we had together. He was the only person in my life that understood me and i understood him we cared about each other faults and all. What it comes down to is we both needed a friend and we were that for each other. Awesome reaction. i have spent my entire adult life speaking out to people that try and judge a beautiful soul that is not here to defend himself. as long as i have breath in my lungs no one i mean no one will disrespect him period. God bless you and your family from the one and only Memphis Tn. 😭 #forevermyking #forevermysexyjello actually Elvis had severe stage fright but he taught himself to overcome it he added more exaggerated leg shaking to hide the actual nervous shaking.
@@lorilashea No Miss Lori. We met by accident we both needed a friend and our friendship just took off from that 1st day we were great friends. I still live in Memphis i will be here until my last days. Do you still live here?
Not only was & still is the best voice in music, he, by the same right, is as equal of an entertainer! He was a double threat!!! No one will ever be better than Elvis!!!
Elvis Presley was and is still out of this world.... stunning beauty, gift-of-a-voice, physicality, generosity, natural talent...and the list goes on. He was Shazam and Superman combined 🔥💯⚡❤️
Elvis was super fit at these Vegas concerts. He worked out with weights on his ankles and wrists. He also practised karate. He brings his karate moves into his shows. This concert was in 1970.
Seeing Elvis live was an amazing experience. I saw him in 1957 when I was 11. Then again in Houston, Louisville and Cincinnati. The last time - right before he died
Great reaction! Many years of Karate contributed to his flexibility. Saw him in Hollywood, FL Feb 1977 when I was 12 with my parents who were huge fans as well (6 months before his death), although slower still put on a great show, especially with that voice. He will ALWAYS be the KING!
Everything about Elvis love him for all this year's, thank you for nice rections,please watch community black eccept Elvis,he dedicated the if l can dream to MLK n R Kennedy after assassination✌️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
*ELECTRIFYING * CHARISMA * HUMOR * ETC ETC WHAT IS THERE NOTTTTT TO LOVE ABOUT ELVIS!!!!!! LEGEND!!!! IT STARTED WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL MAN INSIDE AND OUT - SO LOVING - LOVEDDDDDD HIS FANS TCB BAND SWEET INSPIRATIONS IMPERIALS STAMPS -- ETC
Elvis was loved because he was the first prominent singer that also entertained. He was in so many movies, in a short period of time, that everyone knew who he was. He was huge. I remember that we used to have this show on Saturday afternoons, called The Wide World of Sports. All kinds of different sports were aired. One Saturday, Elvis had shown up at one of the sports venues. The network cut away from the event, because Elvis had agreed to do a mini impromptu concert. It was crazy. His presence in the world, was many times greater than what we're seeing from Taylor Swift right now. Then, all the sudden, one afternoon, he was dead. Shocked the whole world.
One of the backup singers is Cissy Houston, Whitney's mother. I live in Portland Maine and I was 16 when he died. My boyfriend and I had tickets to go see him the night after he passed. We like the rest of the world were devastated 😢
Oh my God !!! He is so good ❤ purely Awesome sensational ❤ there is no other like Elvis ❤ he is voice is magical gold and unique ❤❤❤ yes and the way he moves is just electrifying.. he so natural gorgeous beautiful Elvis ❤❤ always love him ❤❤❤💙💘💔👑💋🌹
All these years later. No one comes close to Elvis. I saw him in Los Vegas about this same time. My mother left this show being a convert. If you knew my mother this was huge. He is still the best. Great reaction.
He WAS freaking AWESOME!! Great reaction! I saw him live 13 times, 10 in Vegas in 1970. He was absolutely the best I ever experienced. And he was even more handsome and charismatic in person. He talked to people in the audience and his musicians and backups loved him. Thanks for this one!❤❤❤
Hey Jenny, I never really listen to anyone but Seph bc he does Elvis everyday and is awesome but I was missing me some Elvis since he has been sick. Miss you guys. 😊
@@Barbara-lb5yt,awwww, thanks, Barbara. I miss Seph so much and his family of Elvis fans. He is just the best and can't wait for him to get healthy and having fun with us again. I love us!!!❤❤❤
@@jennyjorgensen9935 I still cannot believe that you saw him so many times. You are so lucky!! I am so jealous. If you don't mind sharing something personal, were you a teenager at the time, did you scream and pull your hair out? I would have been 10 and I often wonder how I would have reacted seeing him live at that age. At my age now, I go bonkers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All I got to do was watch his movies and listen to his records and I was swooning. 😰 ♥
@@Barbara-lb5ytI was 21 when I saw him in Vegas with my 2 sisters( 24, and 25). We had front row seats and got kisses at every show and he recognized us and talked to us every time. I was so excited that I couldn't eat during the dinner shows. Yes, we were jumping up and down and acting crazy. He thought we were funny. The other 3 concerts, I was married and they were all in Iowa( Des Moines and Ames). I had to behave a bit more with my husband, though he is a fan, too.😂😂🤣
@@jennyjorgensen9935 WOW!!!!!!!! Unbelievable, just WOW....WOW....WOW.....Everyone that loves Elvis that was alive then or was born later wishes so much that we could see him live. I know we are not suppose to be jealous.....but I am forever jealous of you. I would have grabbed him by the back of his head at 21.......girl !!!! 😍😭😰
I lived in Memphis when Elvis died, I was 19 and the whole city shut down. You should watch "Long Black Limosine" it shows the funeral possession, people were passing out and Memphis ran out of flowers. It was insane.
Elvis controlled and responded to his band and back-up singers with every movement of his body ... look at the smiles on all their faces ... they all loved and respected each other ! Lots of interviews with the "Sweets" and his band saying how much fun they had working with with him , not for him ... TCB forever !
Ronnie Tutt, the drummer, said it was like drumming for a stripper- you had to watch him because the movements changed at will. Someone said he was lipsyncing this song, but that’s just silly - you can hear him dropping a word or syllable here and there, and his breathing…, and you don’t take your eyes off of Elvis, because he’s always doing something unexpected. Dancing - Return to Sender, Mean Woman Blues, what’s the song from Fun in Acapulco where he plays bongo drums?
Elvis had the voice, moves and looks. He also had a great core band drummer was kick butt awesome, yhen James Burton on guitar, along with the background singer's and the horns.
Elvis first concert he moved like that his voice his moves his passion for his music and his fans me and my mom got to meet him in person such a sweet man
Yes, YES!! Everybody who worked with Him on stage was having the greatest time, everytime!! According to their own words.. Elvis was a purist performer...
I'm 48... My Grandma was 18 in 1955. She LOVED Elvis. Because of her I grew up to also love his music, movies. Everything. The Elvis rabbit hole runs very deep
I frequently pass over your reactions until I see an Elvis one. My passion started 65 years ago at the age of five when I first saw him on my black and white TV. It was the most magical moment I can even remember how I felt I’ve seen Elvis live in concert, and Fax saw him doing this song, suspicious minds. He has been the greatest inspiration in my life a true hero to me now my son and my granddaughter Loves Elvis. Been to Elvis’s house many times. Hopefully we’re all going as a family again next year to take the grandchildren to be an Elvis fan to understand if there’s really no explanation possible unless you feel it. It must be Magic 65 years of past, and I feel the same way. I just love this human being with such passion. God bless you happy holidays.
What make him so great: voice, best singer ever, could sing everything, Charisma out of this world, rhythm, dance moves, Looks, Kindness, he shared his wealth like nobody else! Great reaction
The Sweet Inspirations that were back up singers from 1969-1977 . Sweet Inspirations were founded by 'Cissy' Houston (Born Emily Drinkard, married to Gary Houston at age 21 for two years) mother of Whitney Houston, and sister of Lee Warrick (herself the mother of well-known sisters, Myrna Smith's cousins Dee Dee and Dionne Warwick).
Right on. And after Elvis'first stint in Vegas(his live-comeback on stage) in 1969 Cissy quit for a long time with the music biz to take care of her children. At the end of the '70s she somewhat started he career up again.
All of his live performances in Vegas are incredible. You need to check more of them out. Also Elvis had a fascination with martial arts at an early age and held a black belt in karate.

@@karensilvera6694 yep. One of his best quotes is "if I can't move, I can't sing".
@@lorilashea oh my gosh. I completely forgot that line until you shared it. I was entering my senior year in HS when he died so I grew up with him.

I was just about to tell you about his karate. It's cool you research this info.
Elvis was a black belt that’s how he can move like that! Love this!!
Elvis became an 8th-degree black belt.
Ain't nobody got moves like Elvis. ❤
That's why Elvis is the G.O.A.T ❤❤❤❤
Elvis really loved his band and backup singers. R.I.P. Ronnie Tutt. One of my favorite drummers.
Elvis had it all… in spades. If anybody ever deserved to be a superstar he did.
The Greatest of all time! ❤❤❤❤❤
Elvis could add lib moves, and his drummer was always ready to play along, which added to the whole performance.
The MOST beautiful man in the universe……..and, his talent was OUT OF THIS WORLD❣️😘❤️🥰 God created Elvis and then broke the mold❣️❣️❣️
This men is the best ever ever❤❤

Beautiful simply beautiful love it. No one can put on a show like Elvis
Not only was he a great singer and performer but he loved doing it. They all loved him. He was fun.
Thank you for playing Elvis music and helping to keep his legacy alive.
You can never deny the Voice this man had.. just Amazing

So we’ll said. If I’m feeling stressed, I watch Elvis’s performances, works like a charm every time. RIP Elvis, Lisa Marie and Benjamin, God Bless 🙏❤️
Elvis is still the Goat
He was a karate black belt. Lots of workouts, especially when he was young.
The contest between him and the drummer -- It's like they're talking to each other: "Bring it, bro." "No, you bring it." Etc.
He's personality and charisma, and so good looking that he's outfits looks awesome 😂 but everyone else looks
It's not just his voice though, he was a brilliant arranger and arranged a lot or most of his stuff. As well as his own moves and the way he interacts with his amazing band and if you look at behind the scenes footage, they work really hard but they're really close knit and they have a lot of fun and they prank each other and it was just a wonderful phenomenon.
He was partial to the black community. He had many black friends as he grew up and he admired and respected black artists.
Millions has loved him. Just a poor boy from Tupelo Mississippi.
He had a 8th degree black belt in karate. That's why he was so flexible.
Elvis was simply the best.
What made him so great you ask - he had everything the looks, voice, moves, soul, rhythm, natural musical talent, and charisma off of the charts.
Elvis was and will always be the best, beautiful generous soul. You should watch some of the videos about his giving and kindness
He gave all he had. He left it all on the stage. And Elvis had so much more to give than any other entertainer. That's why he will always be known as the King. Elvis was, is, and always will be the GOAT (greatest of all time).

Elvis war und ist immer noch ein Gigant in der Unterhaltungsbranche 🙏🙏🙏😍
He was the greatest singer there ever was or ever will be.
They did those transitions during the song so effortlessly because he had certain signals he gave to the band while the song was being performed.

Lots of interviews with the "Sweets" and his band saying how much fun they had working with with him , not for him ... TCB forever !

Now you understand about Elvis Presley!❤❤❤
I frequently pass over your reactions until I see an Elvis one. My passion started 65 years ago at the age of five when I first saw him on my black and white TV. It was the most magical moment I can even remember how I felt I’ve seen Elvis live in concert, and Fax saw him doing this song, suspicious minds. He has been the greatest inspiration in my life a true hero to me now my son and my granddaughter Loves Elvis. Been to Elvis’s house many times. Hopefully we’re all going as a family again next year to take the grandchildren to be an Elvis fan to understand if there’s really no explanation possible unless you feel it. It must be Magic 65 years of past, and I feel the same way. I just love this human being with such passion. God bless you happy holidays.

He was a black belt martial artist.
Elvis took karate seriously and used it and dancing from his movies in his acts.
The KING- the leader of the band. The master of ceremonies. The ring leader. There will NEVER be another like him.
The KING. Love your reaction. More please 💕💕💕💕
The Sweet Inspirations that were back up singers from 1969-1977 . Sweet Inspirations were founded by 'Cissy' Houston (Born Emily Drinkard, married to Gary Houston at age 21 for two years) mother of Whitney Houston, and sister of Lee Warrick (herself the mother of well-known sisters, Myrna Smith's cousins Dee Dee and Dionne Warwick).
Right on. And after Elvis'first stint in Vegas(his live-comeback on stage) in 1969 Cissy quit for a long time with the music biz to take care of her children. At the end of the '70s she somewhat started he career up again.

He was into martial arts. Thus the flexibility. If you haven't yet, check out videos of him in the 1950s.
If I'm not mistaken Elvis Presley was a 5th degree black belt
8th degree
