This is footage from a modern concert using his original TCB band and backup singers playing live in like the year 2000 with a vocal and big screen video of Elvis from 1970...he's been on tour for the last 20 years (LOVE YOUR VIDS)
By 1970 Elvis was really into Karate and he incorporated it into his shows. He was always adapting and changing what he did. I think it really contributed to his longevity. When he did the Aloha Show he made a conscious effort not to move so much. He knew he was getting older and could not keep that high energy up for much longer.
plus he was in much better shape in the fifties and early sixties you can see the way he moves in flaming star kid Galahad jailhouse Rock Westmoreland prison much more physically capable and on the ball in the early years and when he was actually being Elvis in tune with his roots but from 68 to 70 also he's prime-time always the king
This is a show called Elvis Lives. They isolated Elvis' voice track from some of his concerts and then had his original band and backup singers play along live to concert footage and his singing. They had huge screens showing the concert footage of Elvis. It felt like a real concert. It was a great show! It was the closest I came to seeing Elvis live!
pure rock and roll so energenic and dynamic the fiery delivery is dangerous and appealing at the same time along with first-class showmanship and charisma makes this a legendary performance Elvis prime years will always be the 50s early 60s and 1968 to 70 mystery train tiger-man Elvis 1970 untouchable great reaction have a good day 😄✋
About the changes in his 'dancing' over the years - the 1950's Elvis movements were straight out of the black churches he attended as a little boy in both Tupelo & Memphis, while the Vegas stuff is a combination of 1) his huge reaction to his proximity to & effect of drummer Ronnie Tutt and 2) to his 20 years of karate study (he was a Black Belt).
This is part of the ELVIS LIVES that was done to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his death and bring together his remaining back up singers and band.
Astute observation about Elvis' dance moves evolving through the years. As great as he was in 70's, he didn't have the energy nor the drive to put that kind of wear and tear on his body. He was actually asked about it during the documentary (outtake) "Elvis on Tour" of why he no longer moved like he did in the 50's. Elvis responded, "I learned better."
Hi dani💐 Thank you for your great reactions! I look forward to hearing your music. Your voice is beautiful.... Regarding your tribute to Elvis I was thinking that the documentary " That's The Way It Is" would be enjoyable.. plus your favorite Elvis songs so far and / or a few gospel songs because he loved them. Also since you really liked the 68 comeback Special you could play that concert or parts you have not already reacted to.. anything you decide on will be terrific!!! Stay well and safe everyone!🌻
Hi Dani the begging of the 70s Elvis incorporated karate moves and of course that famous left leg shake. You have to admit he had rythm and it is interesting to know around 73 Elvis hurt his one foot and that certainly change some of his move later on. But the knowledge you gaining on this great human being he only had to walk on stage, what charisma he had. Ho and I liked your reaction. 😏👍
Elvis body moved to rythnhms since his younger days, if you notice he was actually conducting the music with his body. And he always stood in front of drummer, Ronnie Tutt, he worked ass for Elvis he once said"he was working for a stripper".
As a middle aged man that never had a daughter...all I can say about you is.......I can't imagine how how Proud and Scared your Daddy must be....Impressive young lady!!
he was a black belt thats what those crazy moves are and as far as the time they took and remastered concert video a few years ago and got his old band together and did that concert
Elvis is the greatest singer and performer. You notice Elvis changing his dance style. He was more wild in the '50's and he was more polished in the '60's and in the '70's he used a different style of movement. It's my opinion that Elvis reinvented himself. He always changed with the times.. It could be he wanted to present a change in the way he expressed himself on stage. His talent and charisma always carried him through no matter what phase in his career.
This concert was put on to celebrate the 25th year of passing. It was held at the Pyramid when they were doing shows. Most of his original band was assembled for this performance with his vocals and movements on giant screens. They used this one, the 68, 73 and I think 72 concerts for this show. Believe it or not, I was at this performance and still have my shirts.
When he was a young man he came out to make a difference...with the wild legs and all and created all this hysteria....but as an old man I think he thought in those white jumpsuits those crazy leg moves might look kind of silly. I think his karate as a lot to do with his later moves also. Just my thoughts on the subject...by regardless I loved him no matter what he did. In his movies like Spinout etc...he had much tamer moves on screen...and he would wear suits that would not go together with the wild leg moves from the 50s. Returning to Vegas he knew he had to put on a great show....which he did.
Dani - here is my request for what you are planning for August 16 - I'll Remember You (live from the Aloha in Hawaii 1973 concert). It's a short song, about 2 minutes. Obviously you are reacting to Elvis, and we are watching, because we all want to remember him. Seems a very appropriate way to remember him!
This is from a show that went on to tour around the world where various Elvis performances were shown on 3 large screens above a stage... Elvis vocals from those performances were used but the music was performed by the members of his band and backing groups live on the stage... 25+ yrs after his death... And the musicians looked at monitors to help them see what Elvis was doing on the screen... I saw the show about 5 times as it was the closest I was ever gonna get to an Elvis concert... Even with this the atmosphere was amazing.... They have since done the same thing but with the Royal Philharmonic orchestra....with the video tho u can't appreciate the atmosphere created even with Elvis just on a screen.
The show toured Australia in the late 1990s and I too went as it was my only chance to attend an ‘Elvis’ concert. With many of the original band members still performing, what a treat. I absolutely loved the atmosphere and would go again.
Dani.....It's called EVOLUTION...........He became a TOTAL SHOWMAN in the 70's. And in the Hawaii Special, that was his greatest show, by far. Every song, perfect, every type, perfect, he had all 25k in the audience for him, and he knew it. And said it. Please react to STEAMROLLER BLUES and I'm so Lonesome. By the way, I have seen your other Elvis reactions, and I have seen most of the others on youtube in the past, Elvis Reactions, and know that you just started; but you already are the best that I have seen. You have the Soul of the King in you.
I the 1970's ELVIS trained with Chuck Norris and became a Black Belt in Karate and loved the art form and the movements so incorporated it into his stage dance moves.
Fun fact about "Mystery Train." It's the favorite Elvis song of America's greatest songwriter, Paul Simon, who patterned two of his songs -- "Hearts and Bones" and "Graceland" -- on its rhythm. Paul also covered "Mystery Train" when he toured.
He was really nervous for the 68 comeback special. He threaten not to come out for the show because he wasn't sure if the public would still love him. So it was a challenge to get him to come out initially.
Elvis moved with the times he sang his old stuff to please the crowds that were teenagers when he started out but was very much living in the present if you notice when he sings his early hits he shakes his leg a lot then as he moved into more modern music of each era it was more of a full body movement in relation of the 60's n then in the 70's he incorporated more of his karate moves of which he was a 3 time black belt
They came back just a few yrs ago and played live to Elvis in 1970 his band were all in there 70 s and they put Elvis on screen and played live to his voice
Dani. This was a tour that was put together years after Elvis' passing. I'm not sure if you were aware but these are all of Elvis' original band members who are playing the instruments. The purpose behind this worldwide tour was to allow people to somewhat experience what a "live" Elvis Presley show was like. Elvis was placed on huge monitors and the original music was muted. Elvis' band members then completely re-created the music portion "live" to the video. This show toured all through the United States and later on through Europe. I was fortunate enough to see this show when it came here to Cleveland, Ohio. The show does also include segments from the Aloha from Hawaii broadcast too as part of the overall Elvis Experience. As far as the dance moves, it was not really that Elvis made any conscious decision to change them.. but when your talking early Elvis remember he was about 21 years old when he really burst out on the scene. In Vegas he just turned 34 years old and honestly the body just doesn't work the same. The music had evolved into a much fuller, robust sound which also included a full backing orchestra, so Elvis tried to incorporate a different style considering music has evolved quite a bit since the 1950's through the 1970's. Ironically, in some of Elvis' live clips from 1977 (when he is in just atrocious health) he actually tried on occasion to do some of the "1950's" moves with his legs.. but obviously in his condition it just looked just silly.. but we all loved Elvis so we just kind of embraced it. Hope this helps.
That was one hell of a show Dave. Took my twelve year old daughter to Memphis from Milwaukee and out of all my travel that was one of my best times I ever had.
Hello Dani , I was their for his 25th anniversary of his death . And that weekend is when they debuted at the Memphis auditorium which I was there , it was so cool ! On stage was all his band mates playing along with him and a giant screen with him singing ! It was so neat at the beginning it got foggy at the stage a lemo pulls in and then they started playing his introduction music just like Las Vegas . You should try to get a copy to watch you would get some ideas for August 16th !! Any way his bands from over the years were playing live on stage along with him live it was like being at one of his concerts ! You would appreciate that ! Maybe you could get a copy from a book store or Amazon !! There were parts flashing on the Tiger man song ! It was so great for me to be there in the Audience with candles !! I do have a copy in Arizona . Barns and Noble should maybe have a copy !
Again because of Elvis popularity we get his old band members singers and big band playing music live to Elvis vid singing !!!! As for his movements he was really wild in the 1950s but he was young and explosive. In the 1960s it was mainly movies... In the 68 special I think he just aged and matured...actor in many films/ nice costume ...more mature. Then in the 1970s he did lots of martial art moves....and think his too busy schedule / pharmacy drugs / heart getting weaker/ he just slowed up...the 1973 special he barely moved but he still had great charisma. He was such a great performer he could sing anything and move anyhow and it was like so accepted by his fans... In the 1970s his health got worse and worse so yes his wild moving slowed up. One show he told his band ...play the hell out of it.... As he caught his breath between songs. He was breathing so hard....like a guy who was so exhausted ...because he was not getting enough zzzzzz. But Thur it all he got an A from his fans. He was loved and is still loved.
This was a wonderful review as usual. But there is a much better version of this performance. I never seen this one but it is missing everything. The version you should see is called, tiger-man / mystery train. When the video first starts you will see Elvis walking through a crowd of people shaking their hand, a father with his baby on his shoulders, and women in the crowd screaming. Then you will start seeing the Marquee Las Vegas lights. That is the version that is the good one. That one is so fun to watch. I hope you will get a chance to see that version as well. This version just does not do it justice. I hope you will do another review this better version. It was so much fun and I would love to see your reaction to that one.
@@DaniAtkinson Dani , this video does justice, these are Elvis Original band members you see in this video, and it sounds great, i have been there, Elvis would have loved it !!
This is a concert from 2015. Its the band with a video of Elvis. Super cool show. Yes remastered. Elvis is in 1970, the band is playing in 2015. He said in an interview that his dancing was unconscious, and the reason he quit was because " he learned better ways to do it".
I have seen this show. It's a clip from his 'Elvis: That's the Way It Is' (a compilation of his Las Vegas shows from 1970) and it was superimposed on a large screen and they had the original backup singers and musicians playing in person. I saw this show in Memphis, but it has been shown in Europe and if am not mistaken every year. You can watch the original clip on YT.
This was a tour where all the original band and back up singers went all around the world touring and using the original elvis tape from 69 and 70. This tour was in the late eighties. They sold out worldwide
In the 50s Elvis just did what came naturally and what the crowd reacted to. By 69 and 70 he was very big into Karate that he began learning in the Army so most of his dance moves just like the design of his jumpsuits are based off of Karate movements that he modified for the stage. Also this version is from either the 35th or 40th Anniversary of his death when they did a big tour of his original band live with him on the screen in areas around the world. Any of the band members that were still alive and able to play were in this show and tour.
Yes, they got the 'old touring gang' back together in the 2000's (incl. the background singers)and played along to his video image on the big screen. THOUSANDS were in attendance.
This is from the 25th Anniversary Concert, live band which consisted of the surviving members of Elvis’ TCB Band, The Stamps, The Imperials, The Sweet Inspirations, and a orchestral lead by his former Conductor playing live to video of Elvis on stage. It was a good concert I saw it several times starting in 1998 (They started going on Tour after their first show at Elvis Week 1997). While it is as close as you could get to the real thing you should watch the actual performance from August 1970 with the original arrangement.
Dani, please try the original version of that song from THAT'S THE WAY IT IS! It's much better! This version is with his original bandmembers from 1970, but in 2000! As for the change of dancemoves, I think it's because Elvis matured over the years and didn't want to repeat the old known moves and he was creative and spontaneous with sooo much feeling that he moved what he feeled in every moment of each song.
Hi Dani! Thanks again for the videos. You always are so sweet to show us the videos we want to see and take your time to do that for us. My idea for the 16th would be to show us your favorite Elvis songs. As fans we all have our favorites and what a special day to share what yours are. Great job as always and I can't wait to see your tribute on Sunday!!
Hi Dani, to answer your question as to the change in dance moves by Elvis, I think it was an evolutionary or progressive act. First note on the 70's attire is these styling ques were taken from his Karate Ghees. The next thing I notice is his movements begin more and more to mimic his Karate Katas or dance moves especially as he progressed through the 70's his stage moves looked more and more like Karate movements. Side note Elvis was a 7th or 8th Degree Master in both Kenpo Karate and Tae Kwon Do.
Hahaha. Well if u ever get around to it Dani. U need to look up Mystery train/Tiger Man Phenomenal performance. There you'll see an Electrifying performance. Also Rare performance of Blue Suede shoes that was shown also in This is Elvis. Anyway, take care.
That is sooo cool! I am waiting to go for my first time! My parents went before I was born...my dad says he saw everything in it's original state before it became more museum-esque.
During the 50s many adults didn’t realize he was such a great singer. Then he spent most of the 60s, acting and singing is mostly B rated movies. The Colonel wanted to just make money off of the movies and sound track. The morning after the 68 Comeback special, Newspapers across the country published articles praising his singing, charisma and talent. He was all over the front pages, radio and TV news getting such positive praise. He finished his movie obligations, and the anxious to get back performing live. He had sold out shows and one third of people on earth, watched his 73 satellite show. He showed he was truly the KING, and he didn’t need the sexy dancing. His natural talent, charisma, voice and sense of humor were enough, although he still could move, and used his karate moves, which were fun and sexy. It is still hard for me to accept how he looked the last 2 yrs of his life, because I know he was so vain about his looks. The downers, just got ahold of him. Losing Priscilla, and less time with Lisa Marie, probably contributed to it.
Sorry you ended up this version. Regarding his moves the bopping 50s was dead n gone by this point. The only thing he kept was his left leg shaking all the way till the end. You could see his moves evolve through out the movie years as well. The 68 comeback had two types of live appearances. One was the 2 sit down jam sessions, because up until that point nobody had really seen him outside the movies or just be himself. Steve Binder told him " I don't care if you just say Hello" as long as you say something" lol The 2nd set of shows were the 2 stand up shows. You haven't reacted to them yet. By 1970 his act was geared more Towards karate moves. No one had ever done before him. The same goes for Karate in the movies. He is officially titled the 1st one to bring it to the big screen in 1960's "Flaming Star".
Another one u cud think of doing for August 16th is Elvis nd Lisa Marie, when no one stands alone. As Lisa Marie is going through a hell of a time right now
Hi Dani thank you for sharing these videos. I think the reason why Elvis started dancing differently could have been because back in the 50's Elvis was criticised badly for the way he was moving and i think was even arrested one time for it and then it was jail time or the army, the new Elvis movie highlights this although it may or may not be accurate, hope this helps 🙂
I was actually hoping you'd get the version from also Elvis TTWII. A lot more exciting. But this is still pretty ok. This song and Polk Salad Annie is what drove the girls crazy.
Elvis was shot from the waist up in 1957 when he was on the Ed Sullivan show the camera only showed Elvis from the waist up because parents and preachers at that time considered Elvis's hip-shaking to be sexually vulgar. In the seventies, Elvis did not want that reputation he wanted anyone to feel comfortable at his show so he made a conscious effort not to shake his hips quite so much. God bless you, Dani.
Elvis changed up his dance moves during the time he was getting ready to open at the Hilton International Hotel. He was impressed by Tom Jones’ stage presence and so he had a little talk with the man. Elvis would soon work out the moves based on Jones and perfect them to become his own.
The 68 comeback was to see if he still had it the 70 Las Vegas was about the charisma 73 aloha from Hawaii was about the voice with almost no body moving
As Elvis grew older so did the lack of hip movement of the late 50’s and 60’s. Also because most of his movies had these dance type choreography that he just grew away from. He knew that smaller movements had the same affect which he incorporated into his shows. Same with his karate demos during the shows. One just replaced the other. Elvis also stated the same with using the slick gel to comb his hair like in the 50’s. Just grew out of it.

Thanks for your reaction. Elvis one said when he was interviewed ''I just do what I feel. He Just had different styles of moments throughout his life.
This is footage from a modern concert using his original TCB band and backup singers playing live in like the year 2000 with a vocal and big screen video of Elvis from 1970...he's been on tour for the last 20 years
(LOVE YOUR VIDS)
Yep and it was all mostly overseas since Elvis never got to play there
ELVIS WAS HEAVEN SENT
By 1970 Elvis was really into Karate and he incorporated it into his shows. He was always adapting and changing what he did. I think it really contributed to his longevity. When he did the Aloha Show he made a conscious effort not to move so much. He knew he was getting older and could not keep that high energy up for much longer.
plus he was in much better shape in the fifties and early sixties you can see the way he moves in flaming star kid Galahad jailhouse Rock Westmoreland prison much more physically capable and on the ball in the early years and when he was actually being Elvis in tune with his roots but from 68 to 70 also he's prime-time always the king

Ahhh! Thank you for sharing that! I have to watch the documentaries! Been nervous to spoil any possible reaction material!
He would have last only into his 30's if he hadn't learned different physical disciplines that stretched his youth ful years
Hi dani💐
Thank you for your
great reactions! I look forward to hearing your music. Your voice is
beautiful....
Regarding your tribute
to Elvis I was thinking
that the documentary
" That's The Way It Is"

plus your favorite Elvis songs so far and / or
a few gospel songs because he loved them. Also since you

Elvis May have changed his dance movements because his music changed through the years. I love your reactions and analysis to the song 🌹

Love mystery train and tiger man,🙏🙏🙏🙏
he was a black belt thats what those crazy moves are and as far as the time they took and remastered concert video a few years ago and got his old band together and did that concert
That's why he was crowned the King of Rock n Roll. Cause of how he moved on stage. Nobody else like him

Watch the original from the DVD that's the way it is
I the 1970's ELVIS trained with Chuck Norris and became a Black Belt in Karate and loved the art form and the movements so incorporated it into his stage dance moves.
Thank you Dani.
in the 70's he was over 30 going 40...he mellowed....but what a mellow, ha ? he the man.
Change of times
Fun fact about "Mystery Train." It's the favorite Elvis song of America's greatest songwriter, Paul Simon, who patterned two of his songs -- "Hearts and Bones" and "Graceland" -- on its rhythm. Paul also covered "Mystery Train" when he toured.
Reaction " Power of my love " please thanks thanks very much 🤩✌️🎶
Yes! No video but the vocal is great!
Rather. It's only love.
@@richardeidemiller6739 I forgot that one
I was at the radio city concert. It was exciting cause it's Elvis. I got to see James Burton live.
An exciting, dynamic performance.

He is one of the best live performers of all time
They came back just a few yrs ago and played live to Elvis in 1970 his band were all in there 70 s and they put Elvis on screen and played live to his voice
You'll never walk alone would be great...and I'll never fall in love again..reaction would be awesome

Hi, this is the 25th anniversary contest in memphis 2002 I was there! Its played live with his original tcb band
That was one hell of a show Dave. Took my twelve year old daughter to Memphis from Milwaukee and out of all my travel that was one of my best times I ever had.
Hello Dani , I was their for his 25th anniversary of his death . And that weekend is when they debuted at the Memphis auditorium which I was there , it was so cool ! On stage was all his band mates playing along with him and a giant screen with him singing ! It was so neat at the beginning it got foggy at the stage a lemo pulls in and then they started playing his introduction music just like Las Vegas . You should try to get a copy to watch you would get some ideas for August 16th !! Any way his bands from over the years were playing live on stage along with him live it was like being at one of his concerts ! You would appreciate that ! Maybe you could get a copy from a book store or Amazon !! There were parts flashing on the Tiger man song ! It was so great for me to be there in the Audience with candles !! I do have a copy in Arizona . Barns and Noble should maybe have a copy !
Maybe u could play the documentary. That's the way it is.
He was up against his copition and even though he was still ageing he wanted his bas his fans he was and is who created ROCK AND ROLL
Again because of Elvis popularity we get his old band members singers and big band playing music live to Elvis vid singing !!!!
As for his movements he was really wild in the 1950s but he was young and explosive.
In the 1960s it was mainly movies...
In the 68 special I think he just aged and matured...actor in many films/ nice costume ...more mature.
Then in the 1970s he did lots of martial art moves....and think his too busy schedule / pharmacy drugs / heart getting weaker/ he just slowed up...the 1973 special he barely moved but he still had great charisma.
He was such a great performer he could sing anything and move anyhow and it was like so accepted by his fans...
In the 1970s his health got worse and worse so yes his wild moving slowed up.
One show he told his band ...play the hell out of it....
As he caught his breath between songs.
He was breathing so hard....like a guy who was so exhausted ...because he was not getting enough zzzzzz.
But Thur it all he got an A from his fans. He was loved and is still loved.
This was a wonderful review as usual. But there is a much better version of this performance. I never seen this one but it is missing everything. The version you should see is called, tiger-man / mystery train. When the video first starts you will see Elvis walking through a crowd of people shaking their hand, a father with his baby on his shoulders, and women in the crowd screaming. Then you will start seeing the Marquee Las Vegas lights. That is the version that is the good one. That one is so fun to watch. I hope you will get a chance to see that version as well. This version just does not do it justice. I hope you will do another review this better version. It was so much fun and I would love to see your reaction to that one.
Aww. Sometimes its really hard to know which specific video to react to.
@@DaniAtkinson Dani , this video does justice, these are Elvis Original band members you see in this video, and it sounds great, i have been there, Elvis would have loved it !!
@@henknuwolt6272 Yeah but why they keep showing piano and drums when he goes into the dance makes the video flawed
@@dpreymak Ask them,not me
@@henknuwolt6272 I did not ask, just acknowledging it’s flawed
Love your reactions x
Love having you here!
This is a concert from 2015. Its the band with a video of Elvis. Super cool show. Yes remastered. Elvis is in 1970, the band is playing in 2015.
He said in an interview that his dancing was unconscious, and the reason he quit was because " he learned better ways to do it".
I have seen this show. It's a clip from his 'Elvis: That's the Way It Is' (a compilation of his Las Vegas shows from 1970) and it was superimposed on a large screen and they had the original backup singers and musicians playing in person. I saw this show in Memphis, but it has been shown in Europe and if am not mistaken every year. You can watch the original clip on YT.
Elvis said his favorite color was pink. The first Cadillac he bought his mom was pink. Like your headphones. :)
hehehe, he would have liked my headphones!
@@DaniAtkinson Yeah he would indeed!
U can't take your eyes off from elvis.I think he wanted a different style than th fiftys
His dancing style changes in the 70s because he incorporated his karate into his dance moves.
Thank you! I love it, just wish he still incorporated his hip/ legs a bit more! It was so unique!
He was a master of karate. And incorporated it into his live concerts!
He started to incorporate a lot of his karate moves into this dance
This was a tour where all the original band and back up singers went all around the world touring and using the original elvis tape from 69 and 70. This tour was in the late eighties. They sold out worldwide
In the 50s Elvis just did what came naturally and what the crowd reacted to. By 69 and 70 he was very big into Karate that he began learning in the Army so most of his dance moves just like the design of his jumpsuits are based off of Karate movements that he modified for the stage. Also this version is from either the 35th or 40th Anniversary of his death when they did a big tour of his original band live with him on the screen in areas around the world. Any of the band members that were still alive and able to play were in this show and tour.
Yes, they got the 'old touring gang' back together in the 2000's (incl. the background singers)and played along to his video image on the big screen. THOUSANDS were in attendance.
That is super cool!!
Dani. Its the age that made him change his dancing style
Elvis incorporated martial art moves in his show in the 70s.
Is music was changing and that part of style was changing aswel but he was stil the best even to day fifty years on Elvis forever Denise Liverpool
This a film with some of his old band( that was alive) at Graceland i believe.
He got into more karate so he did moves from karate
I am from the Netherlands
I went to see TTWII at cinema last night. It was awesome.
This is from the 25th Anniversary Concert, live band which consisted of the surviving members of Elvis’ TCB Band, The Stamps, The Imperials, The Sweet Inspirations, and a orchestral lead by his former Conductor playing live to video of Elvis on stage. It was a good concert I saw it several times starting in 1998 (They started going on Tour after their first show at Elvis Week 1997). While it is as close as you could get to the real thing you should watch the actual performance from August 1970 with the original arrangement.
Dani, please try the original version of that song from THAT'S THE WAY IT IS! It's much better! This version is with his original bandmembers from 1970, but in 2000!
As for the change of dancemoves, I think it's because Elvis matured over the years and didn't want to repeat the old known moves and he was creative and spontaneous with sooo much feeling that he moved what he feeled in every moment of each song.
Hi Dani! Thanks again for the videos. You always are so sweet to show us the videos we want to see and take your time to do that for us. My idea for the 16th would be to show us your favorite Elvis songs. As fans we all have our favorites and what a special day to share what yours are. Great job as always and I can't wait to see your tribute on Sunday!!
Aww, thank you Elvis, it is truly my pleasure!
Hi Dani, to answer your question as to the change in dance moves by Elvis, I think it was an evolutionary or progressive act. First note on the 70's attire is these styling ques were taken from his Karate Ghees. The next thing I notice is his movements begin more and more to mimic his Karate Katas or dance moves especially as he progressed through the 70's his stage moves looked more and more like Karate movements. Side note Elvis was a 7th or 8th Degree Master in both Kenpo Karate and Tae Kwon Do.
I believe that's part of Elvis The Concert.
Hahaha. Well if u ever get around to it Dani. U need to look up Mystery train/Tiger Man Phenomenal performance. There you'll see an Electrifying performance. Also Rare performance of Blue Suede shoes that was shown also in This is Elvis. Anyway, take care.
Play loving you
Yesterday I saw the 1970 concert document 'Thats The Way It Is' at the cinema. What a great experience! Hello from Finland :)
That sounds like so much fun!!
He switched his dancing style as he was into Karate, and incorporated a lot of his Karate moves into his performances
I've been to Graceland 79 times!! Going to Graceland tmro
That's impressive! You must live close by.
That is sooo cool! I am waiting to go for my first time! My parents went before I was born...my dad says he saw everything in it's original state before it became more museum-esque.
It's called out with the old and in with new.lol
During the 50s many adults didn’t realize he was such a great singer. Then he spent most of the 60s, acting and singing is mostly B rated movies. The Colonel wanted to just make money off of the movies and sound track. The morning after the 68 Comeback special, Newspapers across the country published articles praising his singing, charisma and talent. He was all over the front pages, radio and TV news getting such positive praise. He finished his movie obligations, and the anxious to get back performing live. He had sold out shows and one third of people on earth, watched his 73 satellite show. He showed he was truly the KING, and he didn’t need the sexy dancing. His natural talent, charisma, voice and sense of humor were enough, although he still could move, and used his karate moves, which were fun and sexy. It is still hard for me to accept how he looked the last 2 yrs of his life, because I know he was so vain about his looks. The downers, just got ahold of him. Losing Priscilla, and less time with Lisa Marie, probably contributed to it.
You are so cute 😍😊 love your reaction
Thank you, Christian!! :) :)
You are welcome :)
super
Sorry you ended up this version. Regarding his moves the bopping 50s was dead n gone by this point. The only thing he kept was his left leg shaking all the way till the end.
You could see his moves evolve through out the movie years as well. The 68 comeback had two types of live appearances. One was the 2 sit down jam sessions, because up until that point nobody had really seen him outside the movies or just be himself. Steve Binder told him " I don't care if you just say Hello" as long as you say something" lol
The 2nd set of shows were the 2 stand up shows. You haven't reacted to them yet.
By 1970 his act was geared more Towards karate moves. No one had ever done before him.
The same goes for Karate in the movies. He is officially titled the 1st one to bring it to the big screen in 1960's "Flaming Star".
Another one u cud think of doing for August 16th is Elvis nd Lisa Marie, when no one stands alone. As Lisa Marie is going through a hell of a time right now
Hi Dani thank you for sharing these videos.
I think the reason why Elvis started dancing differently could have been because back in the 50's Elvis was criticised badly for the way he was moving and i think was even arrested one time for it and then it was jail time or the army, the new Elvis movie highlights this although it may or may not be accurate, hope this helps 🙂
I was actually hoping you'd get the version from also Elvis TTWII. A lot more exciting. But this is still pretty ok. This song and Polk Salad Annie is what drove the girls crazy.
As a woman if he would have sat on stage peeling potatoes
it would have driven me crazy.😘
@@richardeidemiller6739 LOL
Elvis Presley New Orleans 🔥
Elvis New Orleans incredible blues he was at his best in the early years
Elvis was shot from the waist up in 1957 when he was on the Ed Sullivan show the camera only showed Elvis from the waist up because parents and preachers at that time considered Elvis's hip-shaking to be sexually vulgar. In the seventies, Elvis did not want that reputation he wanted anyone to feel comfortable at his show so he made a conscious effort not to shake his hips quite so much. God bless you, Dani.
Elvis changed up his dance moves during the time he was getting ready to open at the Hilton International Hotel. He was impressed by Tom Jones’ stage presence and so he had a little talk with the man. Elvis would soon work out the moves based on Jones and perfect them to become his own.
I don't think Elvis copied Tom Jones. Elvis never copied anyone. He was original.👑
Elvis' voice is real. the band ect are real ,playing in real time as they did orignaliy.
Vegas crowd he said was very different crowd all different ages.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
It was the opening of the 1970 concert in Vegas the intro
The 68 comeback was to see if he still had it the 70 Las Vegas was about the charisma 73 aloha from Hawaii was about the voice with almost no body moving
In the seventies he started doing the karate moves as part of his act because Elvis
Was a 7 the degree black belt
As Elvis grew older so did the lack of hip movement of the late 50’s and 60’s. Also because most of his movies had these dance type choreography that he just grew away from. He knew that smaller movements had the same affect which he incorporated into his shows. Same with his karate demos during the shows. One just replaced the other. Elvis also stated the same with using the slick gel to comb his hair like in the 50’s. Just grew out of it.
Hi Danni there are 2 versions of the 68 comeback. They recorded the sit down show and 2 days later recorded the stand up show
There are three.......Two sitting down, and one standing up.
