This one certainly does it for me. My eyes water. At my father's funeral (retired Marine) there was an honor guard that fired off a salute from their rifles after the service. I paid $200 extra for a bagpipe salute as well. "Amazing Grace" played on a solo bagpipe is one of the most haunting sounds, so moving, so touching. That tore me up, hearing that piece. As a funeral is was a good one. Except for having to lose my father for it. Oh well, soon enough it'll be my turn. And I know now something I never said during his lifetime. I will never be the man he was.
This version of doing American Trilogy is by far the most amazing version of all time. Makes my eyes water every time. Elvis and his band was GRAND in this performance. He is a once in a lifetime artist/person and we will probably NEVER see anyone else come even close. Elvis can cross all genres and do an exceptional job in every one.
I’m not religious at all. And “Peace In The Valley,” “Crying In The Chapel,” and his “Amazing Grace” are some of the finest vocal compositions I’ve ever heard
I HAVE ALWAYS SAID , ( THIS MAN WILL BRING MANY TO KNOW JESUS . I'LL BE 78 YEARS OLD , AND CAME ALONG WHEN ELVIS ENTERED MY WORLD , AND MY GRANDMOTHER HAD THE BIG RECORD , THE 33 I BELEIVE , PLAYED HIS GOSPELS REGULARLY AND SHE WAS SO INTO CHURCH , AND HER NURSING , VERY CHRISTIAN LADY . WE HAD NEVER HEARD ANOTHER HUMAN BEING RING THE BELLS OF HEAVEN LIKE THIS MAN . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
BB King and him were real good friends. He said they did not make a mistake calling him the King of Music. Thank you for sharing this Beautiful song!!! Elvis wore this jump suit he was very patriotic served his country . He did this concert for charity and bought his own ticket. Also was viewed by more than 1.5 billion people worldwide. A record still today . He was a true Gentlemen and the greatest singer of all time . Gives me chills listen to this . Thank God for Elvis . Thank you Sir Wow !
@@lindadimira4395 Yes I can see little Richard singing like that. NOT , come on deep down you know ELVIS can sing you just don't won't to admit it do you.
I saw Elvis in concert when I was very young, in Charlotte NC. He had such a presence on stage, you could feel his energy. People loved him. He was very spiritual, and some people don’t realize he was a 7th degree black belt in karate. In interviews, he said it wasn’t to learn to fight, it was about the self discipline, the meditation and even mental and spiritual strength he got from it. He was a loving and a caring human being. I’ll always love his music.
One CANNOT watch Elvis Presley and not be overwhelmed with emotion. He is unmatched in his stage presence and his ability to grab your emotions in so many ways...oh and imo he is the most gorgeous man that God ever created😀
@Teela Tequila .... yes, all that and more. This is why the whole world fell in love with him in the most sincere way.... Thank you for a beautiful contribution.....
He had stage presence likes of which has never been seen since. His charisma and looks combined with the stage presence is why all performer s are measured against. They all come up short.he was one of a kind and cannot be duplicated.
Elvis Presley is an amazingly talented singer/performing artist (1935-1977). He loved America and was a true patriot. He served in the US Army for two years. He grew up in Mississippi and Memphis, TN (Memphis is his final resting place). He had a deep-seated caring for other's (very empathic person and sensitive to other's feelings), and particularly those that lived in poverty, as he understood very clearly the impact that poverty can have on a person's life since he too grew up poor.
“I wasn’t just a fan, I was his brother. He said I was good and I said he was good; we never argued about that. Elvis was a hard worker, dedicated, and God loved him … I love him and hope to see him in heaven. There’ll never be another like that soul brother”. James Brown
Holy shit! The part when he sang "you know your daddy is about to die" and when you see his face from the side close up and see him look out and up, omg tears tears tears and the power in the end with the band and him singing omg so beautiful ❤️ One of the best live performences in history right there fokes and that live broadcast was watched by over 1 billion People and that is a record until today and it will never be broken! Plus it was the first time in history a singer did a live broadcast like this over the whole world, first time ever!
- that gets me everytime. If you notice, it's one of the only times he looks directly at the camera. Ugh- I can't wait to see him in heaven someday. 🥰♥️
@@kristinesanta6971 one of the greatest regrets in my life I never had the opportunity to see him in concert. You just gave me hope, I didn’t think about seeing him in heaven.
love the way Elvis looks at his band as if to say" Give me everything you've got and I will send this song into the stratosphere ! He did it!!!! love it...
Elvis guided his orchestra/band with his hand and body movements, they never took their eyes off him, because he was always changing up the way he did some songs. His back up singers said, "you can't take your eyes off him because you never know what he's going to do next" He had total control at all times. My poor husband couldn't even get his band to show up on time for practice! Shows how dedicated they all were!
"I believe in the Bible. I believe all good things come from God. I don't believe I'd be able to sing the way I do if God hadn't wanted me to." -Elvis Presley
Rumor is Muhammad Ali used to watch this video all the time after Elvis passed away. He and Elvis met and became friends around the time this concert took place. I have heard people that knew him said Muhammad used to love to sit down alone and watch videoof this concert while remembering his old friend
Yes that much is true! Muhammad Ali called him the people choices champion....Elvis said to his friend let's go at it Ali said your kidding 2 seconds later Ali was on his back Elvis said I don't kid around.he gave Ali a leg sweep that dropped him.Elvis was a karate' expert!
Elvis also had a boxing robe made for Ali, in the early 70s, and it had the (PEOPLES CHAMPION) on the back. Elvis also use to go to Ali's boxing camp in Pennsylvania to hide. There is also 2 boxing gloves at Graceland, Elvis and Ali wrote on them, saying " you are the greatest" to each other.
Ali was once asked who was his favourite and he said 'Elvis is my man'...They were friends and many times Elvis used to loose himself in the training camps of Ali, when he wanted to be alone and away from the public eye. Both legends in their own right!!!
Elvis is for every generation. ..He thought he would not be remembered. ..If you want to see him "rock the planet " his "Suspicious Minds" song and "Polk Salad Annie" songs in his Las Vegas concert are fantastic! !
My mother is a Elvis fanatic. My Dad didn't care for him but when he took my mother to Dallas to see Elvis, my dad stood up and applauded after this song. Elvis music helped my mother get through some of her most difficult times in her life. He was truly a gift to everyone.
What a Christian and patriot Elvis was, he showed a billion people around the world how he praised our Lord and how he loved America. The American Eagle the on his costume for everyone to see. He sang gospel at every concert, too. Boy we don’t have any entertainers that present that image today.
I'm not Christian , i'm even not american but I love Elvis' music as billions of people do in the world . His voice touched the heart of everyone which were lucky to hear him. His voice went beyond the differences. He seemed to be a very good person. But what a really good music and what his musicians wonderful were. RIP.
When you say patriot, I have a feeling I know what you're driving at. Elvis was socially conservative probably but did Not discriminate and certainly didn't hate liberals.
He throws his belt and cape into the audience and that ring I believe he gifts to a little girl who was watching from a wheelchair all during this show. His generosity knew no limits. And that voice!!!
@@sr80bassguy Im watching the good fight ministries Elvis sold his soul.Watch it if you think im kidding.Google it.And Elvis wasn't the King of nothing.Devil worshipper .where is he at now?Dead as hell.
I'm 56 and still cry my eyes out when I hear this and many other of his greatest songs. American Trilogy, If I Can Dream, and so many other songs that Elvis performed are songs that no other singer since should ever even attempt to sing. Elvis owns them.
Eddie Murphy said that when Elvis appears, every eye is fixed on him. Many stars said that when Elvis entered a room, you didn't have to see him to know he was there, you felt him!! Whether a room, a stage,or a screen... Elvis got all the attention. He lived 42 years. He's been gone 42 years. We miss you Elvis. Thank God for the gift of Elvis. ELVIS. Enough said.🌹⚡
Elvis the physical man is gone, but Elvis is still very much here with us, as his body of work, on record, on video, his estate, tours, tribute shows, and his entire monumental legacy are all still very much here, and people like you are helping keep EP alive, for new generations to come! Great job.. all of you who are doing this stuff now with EP and others.
I love your reaction videos and you understand Elvis. I feel it too. I'm 64 and discovered Elvis when I was 5 years old. There is nobody like him. He is the only man that makes me cry when I hear him sing. I'm a huge Zeppelin fan but Elvis is the king!!!
Im 60 yrs old and Im glad that after discovering these reaction videos im revisiting and appreciating the music I grew up with, and ive said before with that voice and passion Elvis was a force of nature, RIP Elvis.
I remember watching this concert, Aloha From Hawaii, first concert ever broadcast via satellite. I was 7 years old that year, 1973. My daddy was a musician and his band had played on the Louisiana Hayride on the same bill as Elvis. Daddy always said that Elvis was one of the nicest people he'd ever met, and he met a lot, lol! When Elvis went Home I actually saw my daddy cry, and that's something most Southern men rarely did back then. I know every note of this, we had it on 8 track tape, and mama would play it a lot cleaning house. As I got older, I researched the 3 songs and was blown away again by the fantastic arrangement. I miss Elvis, and I miss my daddy, so I generally get up all in my feels when I hear this song. 46 years later and it still gives me goosies.
My mom recorded it from the TV way back in the beginning of the VCR days. I've seen the whole concert many times, but this was the only song I would rewind multiple times.
@@professionalvampire1 wow, you were lucky to have a VCR back then, we didn't get one til the early 80s. But yeah, this segment of the concert has always been my favorite.
Absolutely superb. I don't think anyone today has that presence on stage, he truly was a superb singer and person, what a beautiful heart-wrenching performance. So full of emotion and sincerity.
My father listened to Elvis everyday I grew up loving his voice. I love that he brings everyone together no matter the age the race or whatever. Elvis made the world see Gospel music as something that belongs to be free not just in church. He showed unity before it was cool and he also showed that sex was not something we should hide it's a part of being human. He opened so many doors. He made white people love black music and by doing that he opened another door. The dream is that someday we will all love each other no matter the race or religion. One love.
This was his Hawaiian concert! I remember sitting in front of a black and white tv in our living room, the four of us sitting around that little tv and just loving every minute! He was a gift from God, no doubt!
This was beamed across he world and Im pretty sure it was the biggest ever tv audience in the wolrd at the time.. So imagine being the flautist, who was, perhaps with the exception of Elvis, the most viewed man ever on tv .. He dropped one note, but somehow that made it all the more profound and beautiful
I'm not even American but Elvis singing Trilogy moves me to tears, absolutely spine tingling. Elvis is a LEGEND who will never, ever be forgotten. God bless Elvis, we love and miss you ❤ x
Christine Wilkinson I agree. I wasn’t born in America but I’ve loved Elvis since I was 10 years old. I had just 14 when he died and remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. I cried for over a month. But song gives me chills. So powerful! What a voice. Truly the King of Music. Will always love him.
@@teresitaalonso2452 totally agree, I was nearly 12 when Elvis died and I remember being totally shocked and very upset. I absolutely adore the man, his looks, his charisma, his sex appeal and of course his beautiful voice. Listening to Elvis makes me happy and sad at times but his music has got me through some difficult times in my life. I just love Elvis and can't imagine my life without his music x
@@christinewilkinson2424 Elvis was/is the best, but he unfortunately epitomized the "ying-yang" effect in that as great as he was, for someone who seemingly had it all, he was surrounded by "yes" men, became a prisoner in his own home--when asked what he missed most, Elvis said he wished he could just walk around his neighborhood, but couldn't, as people would swarm to him like locust--he grew to be a VERY lonely man, and died on the toilet. His life ended up being a really sad existence in the latter half of his life. There's a video of a bloated Elvis, obviously in poor health, singing "My Way" just a few months before he died, and during the song you can clearly see tears running down his face, as though he knew he wasn't long for this world. VERY sad to watch, and heartbreaking to witness.
He was the KING! I was at a little league baseball game when someone just yelled "Elvis is dead"! Half of the spectators left the game. Everyone loved Elvis; women, kids, grandma's & some men...it was a heartbreaking day...
I remember that evening when Walter Cronkite opened the CBS News broadcast with "Elvis,is dead!".I was six years old.My parents sat up and shouted "What?".It was a sad event,the King was dead.
It's become one of my earliest memories, we were in Kentucky visiting one of my dad's Marine buddies, and their teenage daughter ran into the living room and yelled "Elvis is dead!". We had to drive thru Memphis to get back home, I remember bumper to bumper traffic in all directions, and POURING RAIN. The only time I remember my dad actually pulling over because it was raining so hard, he NEVER did that, lol. Crazy.
This is love of God and country like no other! You are right, there are no words to desciber how his soulful renditions make us feel, especially in performances like this one, & during these times ! Elvis will never "leave the building" because he is with us in spirit through his God given music! Great reaction!
Being a Southern Woman, this song touches me deeply. Thank you. Whitney Houston’s Momma sitting there all classy! If you don’t know, read up on his whole band and singers. The best of the best in music history. A great read, very interesting. And no one, NO ONE treated their team and their families better than Elvis.
For me the real US Hymn. For me one of the most emotional Songs ever. And Elvis Voice, the Background Instrumentals, the Choir, simply fantastic. One of the best Live Performances ever!
Wendell Babcock ..... From 3:24 - 3:48.... That flute solo..... Man, that was haunting & beautiful but did a magnificent job of building up the true beauty of what was to come (the epic finish) 🔥✊️👑👌🔥
I was at Graceland, in the trophy room staring at that jumpsuit in a glass case and that video came on. Yes my kids watched me cry for the first time since my mother died. It was just overwhelming. Thank you King and Mickey Newberry.
There will never be another performer with this much power, presence, talent, and vocal range. He passed when I was barely 1 y/o. I'll see him in the kingdom of Heaven one day I hope.
Now that's genuine love of God and country! We need to play American Trilogy all over the United States- -always! This would bring our country together! If anybody could unite us all, Elvis could! All his soulful music still touches our hearts to the very core! There is something quite divine about that & it is no coincidence!! God works in mysterious ways!, I believe that this is why He made Elvis a legend who will go on & on! I just love your reaction, especially the initial , temporary speehlessness! ( this happens to most Elvis fans, sooner or later, upon hearing his angelic voice & feeling emotionally overwhelmed by his performance)So glad you got tenderly "bitten" by the Elvis" bug"! It is quite true, that listening to Elvis Aaron Presley is like eating potato chips! You can"t have just one! Keep listening & reacting! We are all looking forward to it! May you be blessed!
Yes sir! This is another one that makes me cry. Such a beautiful song. He is the one and only. Such an amazing entertainer, with an amazing vocal range. There is nobody better!
Powerful is an understatement. I saw Elvis 3 times and I'm telling you...his live performances were so intense that even the audience was exhausted at the end. Miss him so much.
When I was a young kid in the early 80's we had this aloha VHS tape,and my dad played this song over and over and over and over and he would have tears running down his face every single time
Jamal, I like Elvis fine and know he was a force of nature, but I really appreciate you are bringing genreations and ethnicities together in this time of hatred and division. " Love thy neighbor" is not a cliche it is the tough work of brave souls. Thanks.
I will third that. I love watching these videos with folks from all different backgrounds reacting, appreciating, and being moved by all kinds of music. Kudos to you for showing we call all be unified, no matter what.
the thing about Elvis is how under appreciated he was for his level of musical IQ, this band its arrangement that his is doing, he had much more musical depth than many know and BB KING spoke about this and greatly appreciated his creativity
As a southern, 50 year old man, I should point out to those who don't understand. What may have a specific meaning to you doesn't necessarily have the same meaning for others. That's a serious problem with people today...you can't see outside of your self. Dixieland doesn't represent something that happened 160 years ago to me or my friends. It represents the rolling Blue Ridge mountains, summer days swimming in the James River, field parties with my friends in high school. It represents my region, my family, and my culture. I'm American by birth but Southern by the Grace of God. As Big J has opened his mind to all this different kind of music, let's open our minds to each other. Please.
"Did y'all feel that?" Yes. Every single time I've heard this song for the last 49 years.
Everytime I hear this such a great man
Every time and I have listened countless times
Me too friend!
EVERY! SINGLE! TIME! I feel that!
Absolutely every single time !!!!!! ❤❤❤
Elvis didn't like being called King as he believed in a higher power. ❤️
If this doesn't give you goosebumps, then you've got no soul.
Amen..
This one certainly does it for me. My eyes water. At my father's funeral (retired Marine) there was an honor guard that fired off a salute from their rifles after the service. I paid $200 extra for a bagpipe salute as well. "Amazing Grace" played on a solo bagpipe is one of the most haunting sounds, so moving, so touching. That tore me up, hearing that piece. As a funeral is was a good one. Except for having to lose my father for it. Oh well, soon enough it'll be my turn. And I know now something I never said during his lifetime.

Beautiful and touching story Rondo.....
I feel no goosebumps but I can't stop crying
Most powerful Performance Ever! So sad when he sings " All my trials Lord will soon be over" Very Prophetic
I know, 😥 I think he knew.
Amen
Definitely hits hard 😪
Yes, just 4 years later😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪

My favorite Elvis song. This was from Hawaii via satellite. A billion people watched. Big deal back then, no one ever did that.
I'm not even American but it makes me cry and makes me feel proud everytime I listen to it ...wow that's powerful...gorgeous man
He was a breathtakingly beautiful man.
So REAL. It never gets old.
@@user-xs6um7kn8p Perfectly said. I felt exactly the same when I read that comment. So sweet
@@candicescott7176
Thank You.
That is because he felt the song and meant every word. I'm crying right now. RIP Elvis.
That was the first ever world wide televised event. The first time the whole world was watching!!!!
If ever America needed one song then this should be it...
You asked, did y'all feel that? I feel it every time like it's the first time I heard. Everytime!!
Every single time.
When he sings all my trials. Wow. This man had it all.
RIGHT?!?!?!? Every single time!!!
Been listening to and watchign this concert since I was 7 (Im 53 now) and it still hits me every time.
Yes, every single time!
This gets me all choked up!
What a man.
What a performer.
What an American.
That will make a grown man cry!👑👑👑👑👑 Nobody can sing or perform like this. One and done!
This man still brings tears to my eyes every time I hear his songs,
Finally a reaction from someone who appreciates real music
I'm not religious at all, but the way Elvis sings gospel has gotten me into gosple music. He had the power to pull you in.
I’m not religious at all. And “Peace In The Valley,” “Crying In The Chapel,” and his “Amazing Grace” are some of the finest vocal compositions I’ve ever heard
Elvis is proof that God exists
Keep listing to it...he'll help you find Jesus...not religion
I HAVE ALWAYS SAID , ( THIS MAN WILL BRING MANY TO KNOW JESUS . I'LL BE 78 YEARS OLD , AND CAME ALONG WHEN ELVIS ENTERED MY WORLD , AND MY GRANDMOTHER HAD THE BIG RECORD , THE 33 I BELEIVE , PLAYED HIS GOSPELS REGULARLY AND SHE WAS SO INTO CHURCH , AND HER NURSING , VERY CHRISTIAN LADY .

There is a reason they called him "The King!"..
There have been 3 Crowned kings of different genres of music and we lost 2 of them way to soon.

So true but so humble and gentle what a guy x

an american gift to the world
Wow great comment
Another drug addict preaching the evils of drugs. Still, does not detract from his talent, his music to the world.
Elvis Presley is an amazingly talented singer/performing artist (1935-1977). He loved America and was a true patriot. He served in the US Army for two years. He grew up in Mississippi and Memphis, TN (Memphis is his final resting place). He had a deep-seated caring for other's (very empathic person and sensitive to other's feelings), and particularly those that lived in poverty, as he understood very clearly the impact that poverty can have on a person's life since he too grew up poor.
He was God's present to us .
Thank You Lord
And 4 years after this performance, he was gone...but not forgotten!
“I wasn’t just a fan, I was his brother. He said I was good and I said he was good; we never argued about that. Elvis was a hard worker, dedicated, and God loved him … I love him and hope to see him in heaven. There’ll never be another like that soul brother”. James Brown
We need more of this love today.
Amen
Fantastic performance, touches your heart, love the comments 😌

It takes your breath away, doesn’t it? Yeah, his music is a gift that many will continue to enjoy! Thanks to you for exposing it to new ears! ☮️🖖🏽
Anmerican Trilogy well what can you say except it was a show stopper, fantastic
Rumor is Muhammad Ali used to watch this video all the time after Elvis passed away. He and Elvis met and became friends around the time this concert took place. I have heard people that knew him said Muhammad used to love to sit down alone and watch videoof this concert while remembering his old friend
Yes that much is true! Muhammad Ali called him the people choices champion....Elvis said to his friend let's go at it Ali said your kidding 2 seconds later Ali was on his back Elvis said I don't kid around.he gave Ali a leg sweep that dropped him.Elvis was a karate' expert!
Elvis also had a boxing robe made for Ali, in the early 70s, and it had the (PEOPLES CHAMPION) on the back. Elvis also use to go to Ali's boxing camp in Pennsylvania to hide. There is also 2 boxing gloves at Graceland, Elvis and Ali wrote on them, saying " you are the greatest" to each other.
Mickey Rhodes he wore the robe for his fight to ken Norton . He lost that fight and never wore the robe again. Some say he considered it bad luck
marco peranteau6 haha! Exactly! He certainly was,. I’ve never heard that story before,. Thanks for sharing! Ha!
Ali was once asked who was his favourite and he said 'Elvis is my man'...They were friends and many times Elvis used to loose himself in the training camps of Ali, when he wanted to be alone and away from the public eye. Both legends in their own right!!!
John Lennon said before elvis there was nothing I'll say after elvis there's been nothing
Michael Jackson was not nothing, quite the opposite.
There's Elvis and MJ, those are the two big ones that will be remembered throughout history.
Chuck Berry doesn't exist huh
I wouldn’t say that but Elvis was definitely in a class by himself. A once in a lifetime performer.
Chris Guy.... for real tho
I will replace the man Elvis with the True and living God Jesus Christ.
This song guarantees me two things. Goosebumps and tears. In either order.
YUP!! 😭♥️
That boy can sing
Beyond perfection.......God bless his soul.....tq for sharing....
Oh yes me too ,Elvis was just amazing, the Emotion in that song was absolutely fantastic 😪
You are so right!!!
He does stir your soul, doesn't he? Thank you for allowing his legend to live on....forever!!!
Im 58 and my dad took me to see him when I was 10 years old. I could not believe what I saw. Perfect memory of seeing him to this day.
👍🏾
I saw him in 1972 at 11 years old in Greensboro, NC
Nobody NO BO DY , can bring it like ELVIS
Elvis is for every generation. ..He thought he would not be remembered. ..If you want to see him "rock the planet " his "Suspicious Minds" song and "Polk Salad Annie" songs in his

Simply the best! He was a one of kind that will always be missed! A voice and charisma like no other! Love me some Elvis!!
There will never be another,but I'm confidant he's in Heaven singing and praising God with that beautiful voice.

When you say patriot, I have a feeling I know what you're driving at. Elvis was socially conservative probably but did Not discriminate and certainly didn't hate liberals.
Let's just hope he wasn't one of those fanatic people who actually believes the religious bs, but rather people who find the spiritual in it.
Yes... he was not ashamed to praise God
2020 & it still gives goosebumps. Today's music cannot even come close, his performances were a next level experience from his soul
It sends cold chills down your spine and your arms he had an amazing voice
He throws his belt and cape into the audience and that ring I believe he gifts to a little girl who was watching from a wheelchair all during this show. His generosity knew no limits.
And that voice!!!
Eddie Murphy said it best, Elvis had Presence that’s nobody else has had. He was Truly Special!
Damn straight Donny. Good to see you on here.
Thats all he had.Name a song he wrote?
Linda Dimira who cares if he wrote a song. That has no bearing on success. Quit hating hater.
@@sr80bassguy Im watching the good fight ministries Elvis sold his soul.Watch it if you think im kidding.Google it.And Elvis wasn't the King of nothing.Devil worshipper .where is he at now?Dead as hell.
Linda Dimira you disrespectful bitch
What you just watched was a piece of Heaven. Most beautiful voice and greatest entertainer to ever walk planet earth.
I'm 56 and still cry my eyes out when I hear this and many other of his greatest songs. American Trilogy, If I Can Dream, and so many other songs that Elvis performed are songs that no other singer since should ever even attempt to sing. Elvis owns them.
That was absolutely without a doubt Beautiful..I love him always ❤️
Eddie Murphy said that when Elvis appears, every eye is fixed on him. Many stars said that when Elvis entered a room, you didn't have to see him to know he was there, you felt him!! Whether a room, a stage,or a screen... Elvis got all the attention. He lived 42 years. He's been gone 42 years. We miss you Elvis. Thank God for the gift of Elvis. ELVIS. Enough said.🌹⚡
Elvis the physical man is gone, but Elvis is still very much here with us, as his body of work, on record, on video, his estate, tours, tribute shows, and his entire monumental legacy are all still very much here, and people like you are helping keep EP alive, for new generations to come! Great job.. all of you who are doing this stuff now with EP and others.
Elvis has a very powerful voice, if youngsters want to sing, watch elvis and the way he presents it, brilliant
I love your reaction videos and you understand Elvis. I feel it too. I'm 64 and discovered Elvis when I was 5 years old. There is nobody like him. He is the only man that makes me cry when I hear him sing. I'm a huge Zeppelin fan but Elvis is the king!!!
Absolutely ❤
Im 60 yrs old and Im glad that after discovering these reaction videos im revisiting and appreciating the music I grew up with, and ive said before with that voice and passion Elvis was a force of nature, RIP Elvis.
I remember watching this concert, Aloha From Hawaii, first concert ever broadcast via satellite. I was 7 years old that year, 1973. My daddy was a musician and his band had played on the Louisiana Hayride on the same bill as Elvis. Daddy always said that Elvis was one of the nicest people he'd ever met, and he met a lot, lol! When Elvis went Home I actually saw my daddy cry, and that's something most Southern men rarely did back then. I know every note of this, we had it on 8 track tape, and mama would play it a lot cleaning house. As I got older, I researched the 3 songs and was blown away again by the fantastic arrangement. I miss Elvis, and I miss my daddy, so I generally get up all in my feels when I hear this song. 46 years later and it still gives me goosies.
My mom recorded it from the TV way back in the beginning of the VCR days. I've seen the whole concert many times, but this was the only song I would rewind multiple times.
@@professionalvampire1 wow, you were lucky to have a VCR back then, we didn't get one til the early 80s. But yeah, this segment of the concert has always been my favorite.
Absolutely superb. I don't think anyone today has that presence on stage, he truly was a superb singer and person, what a beautiful heart-wrenching performance. So full of emotion and sincerity.
My father listened to Elvis everyday I grew up loving his voice. I love that he brings everyone together no matter the age the race or whatever. Elvis made the world see Gospel music as something that belongs to be free not just in church. He showed unity before it was cool and he also showed that sex was not something we should hide it's a part of being human. He opened so many doors. He made white people love black music and by doing that he opened another door. The dream is that someday we will all love each other no matter the race or religion. One love.
What a real and heartfelt reaction. It truly is the most powerful song behind the national anthem.
Le Marseillaise?
It's wonderful to hear someone from another generation fully appreciate greatness like this.
I thought the same thing
There will never be another Elvis ♥️ he was god's gift to the world 💘
This was his Hawaiian concert! I remember sitting in front of a black and white tv in our living room, the four of us sitting around that little tv and just loving every minute! He was a gift from God, no doubt!
I was sitting in front of my family's television set, also!!! He was absolutely SPECTACULAR!
I really love the fact that I see the younger generation watch this incredible performer and enjoy it so much he was and always will be a king
ELVIS CAN ALWAYS TAKE YOU ON AN EMOTIONAL RIDE WITH HIM. He is/was an amazing singer ,entertainer, and human being.
Gives me the goosebumps every single time I hear this song by Elvis
Elvis had one of the best bands of all. I love his live music
Thank you for listening to this. I played it at my mom’s funeral. It hits hard.
April Gallimore, my Mom loved listening to Elvis singing Gospel, so we played Elvis at her funeral too. ❤
🌹🇺🇸
So powerful. The way Elvis looked at his band with the stares. I love you reactions cause you don’t interrupt the performance.well done
There's only one..... Unbelievable talent... Charisma, Voice and Looks. You'll never see that again
This was beamed across he world and Im pretty sure it was the biggest ever tv audience in the wolrd at the time.. So imagine being the flautist, who was, perhaps with the exception of Elvis, the most viewed man ever on tv .. He dropped one note, but somehow that made it all the more profound and beautiful
I'm not even American but Elvis singing Trilogy moves me to tears, absolutely spine tingling. Elvis is a LEGEND who will never, ever be forgotten. God bless Elvis, we love and miss you ❤ x
Christine Wilkinson I agree. I wasn’t born in America but I’ve loved Elvis since I was 10 years old. I had just 14 when he died and remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. I cried for over a month. But song gives me chills. So powerful! What a voice. Truly the King of Music. Will always love him.
@@teresitaalonso2452 totally agree, I was nearly 12 when Elvis died and I remember being totally shocked and very upset. I absolutely adore the man, his looks, his charisma, his sex appeal and of course his beautiful voice. Listening to Elvis makes me happy and sad at times but his music has got me through some difficult times in my life. I just love Elvis and can't imagine my life without his music x
@@christinewilkinson2424 Elvis was/is the best, but he unfortunately epitomized the "ying-yang" effect in that as great as he was, for someone who seemingly had it all, he was surrounded by "yes" men, became a prisoner in his own home--when asked what he missed most, Elvis said he wished he could just walk around his neighborhood, but couldn't, as people would swarm to him like locust--he grew to be a VERY lonely man, and died on the toilet. His life ended up being a really sad existence in the latter half of his life.
There's a video of a bloated Elvis, obviously in poor health, singing "My Way" just a few months before he died, and during the song you can clearly see tears running down his face, as though he knew he wasn't long for this world. VERY sad to watch, and heartbreaking to witness.
He was the KING! I was at a little league baseball game when someone just yelled "Elvis is dead"! Half of the spectators left the game. Everyone loved Elvis; women, kids, grandma's & some men...it was a heartbreaking day...
He IS the KING!
I remember that evening when Walter Cronkite opened the CBS News broadcast with "Elvis,is dead!".I was six years old.My parents sat up and shouted "What?".It was a sad event,the King was dead.
Uhhh! It was a gut wrenching day! I thought that nothing could ever be worse. I was a kid. But, man I looked up to him. And still do.
It's become one of my earliest memories, we were in Kentucky visiting one of my dad's Marine buddies, and their teenage daughter ran into the living room and yelled "Elvis is dead!". We had to drive thru Memphis to get back home, I remember bumper to bumper traffic in all directions, and POURING RAIN. The only time I remember my dad actually pulling over because it was raining so hard, he NEVER did that, lol. Crazy.
I was watching "The CBS Evening News (With Walter Cronkite)" in my parents' bedroom, when I found out that Elvis Presley had passed away.
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah. HIS TRUTH is marching on...
This is love of God and country like no other! You are right, there are no words to desciber how his soulful
renditions make us feel, especially in performances like this one, & during these times ! Elvis will never "leave the building" because he is with us in spirit through his God given music!
Great reaction!
What a voice... without doubt the best voice ever!!!! What a performance fukn brilliant!!!
Americas finest entertainer. Elvis Presley.🇺🇸🇺🇸🐓🇺🇸
The range that Elvis had was amazing. At least 4 octaves.
Yes, yes, yes!!! I'm glad somebody recognized that. His range was surpassed by only one person, Roy Orbison and Elvis acknowledged that.
Being a Southern Woman, this song touches me deeply. Thank you. Whitney Houston’s Momma sitting there all classy! If you don’t know, read up on his whole band and singers. The best of the best in music history. A great read, very interesting. And no one, NO ONE treated their team and their families better than Elvis.
Awesome
Scotland here, I loved the South especially Memphis
Peace ✌
@@craigmclaughlin9552 Scotch-Irish in Tennessee here. Love of Scotland is still in our blood even if Carrick/Lockhart ancestors left in the 1700s.
it's like at another level isn't it. he drives it in like no other
For me the real US Hymn. For me one of the most emotional Songs ever. And Elvis Voice, the Background Instrumentals, the Choir, simply fantastic. One of the best Live Performances ever!
Do you see how far away he held that microphone away from his mouth? The man had the most powerful voice and he was taken from us too soon.
Put simply..... This is “The King” at his MAJESTIC BEST ✊️🤩🤚⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely true
Wendell Babcock ..... From 3:24 - 3:48.... That flute solo..... Man, that was haunting & beautiful but did a magnificent job of building up the true beauty of what was to come (the epic finish) 🔥✊️👑👌🔥
Gone but never forgotten missed by millions loved by millions
I was at Graceland, in the trophy room staring at that jumpsuit in a glass case and that video came on. Yes my kids watched me cry for the first time since my mother died. It was just overwhelming. Thank you King and Mickey Newberry.
finally some one gave a little credit to the writer of this emotional song. mickey newbury.
This is one of the best performance Elvis has ever given.
Us fans been feeling it forever. Nice to see you feel it Remember. NOBODY could deliver a song like Elvis he was truly a give to us from the LORD
So much Elvis in one day!! It couldn't get more perfect! Thank you✌❣
THE KING!!
There will never be another performer with this much power, presence, talent, and vocal range. He passed when I was barely 1 y/o. I'll see him in the kingdom of Heaven one day I hope.
No one can make you feel every single note like the KING ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I saw this show on TV and couldn't take my eys off TV.
I was a very big fan. I grew up as a teen loveing Elvis.
I had 550 pictures on my wall.
Now that's genuine love of God and country!
We need to
play American Trilogy
all over the United States-
-always! This would bring our country together! If anybody could unite us all, Elvis could!
All his soulful music still touches our hearts to the very core! There is something quite divine about that & it
is no coincidence!! God works in mysterious ways!, I believe that this is why He made Elvis a legend who will go on & on!
I just love your reaction, especially the initial , temporary speehlessness! ( this happens to most Elvis fans, sooner or later, upon hearing his
angelic voice & feeling emotionally overwhelmed by his performance)So glad you got tenderly "bitten" by the Elvis" bug"! It is quite true, that listening to Elvis Aaron Presley is like eating potato chips! You can"t have just one!
Keep listening
& reacting! We are all looking forward to it!
May you be blessed!
Yes sir! This is another one that makes me cry. Such a beautiful song. He is the one and only. Such an amazing entertainer, with an amazing vocal range. There is nobody better!
A truly Amazing song from the King! and The Philippines Loves Him too from then until now! Hail Elvis Presley the King!...
Powerful is an understatement. I saw Elvis 3 times and I'm telling you...his live performances were so intense that even the audience was exhausted at the end. Miss him so much.
Yes yes yes....
Me too.
Yes you felt the soul of elvis..
THE BEST THE ONE AND ONLY GREAT. MAN...
YES IT WAS LOVE FOR HIS FANS.
HE LOVED HIS FANS.
TY
When I was a young kid in the early 80's we had this aloha VHS tape,and my dad played this song over and over and over and over and he would have tears running down his face every single time
I still do it every time I hear him! Memories of your childhood, love for his fellow man, Elvis was a teacher of humanity as much as an entertainer.
Jamal, I like Elvis fine and know he was a force of nature, but I really appreciate you are bringing genreations and ethnicities together in this time of hatred and division. " Love thy neighbor" is not a cliche it is the tough work of brave souls. Thanks.
Thanks Darrell🙏🏾
Amen to that
I will third that. I love watching these videos with folks from all different backgrounds reacting, appreciating, and being moved by all kinds of music. Kudos to you for showing we call all be unified, no matter what.
the thing about Elvis is how under appreciated he was for his level of musical IQ, this band its arrangement that his is doing, he had much more musical depth than many know and BB KING spoke about this and greatly appreciated his creativity
As a southern, 50 year old man, I should point out to those who don't understand. What may have a specific meaning to you doesn't necessarily have the same meaning for others. That's a serious problem with people today...you can't see outside of your self. Dixieland doesn't represent something that happened 160 years ago to me or my friends. It represents the rolling Blue Ridge mountains, summer days swimming in the James River, field parties with my friends in high school. It represents my region, my family, and my culture. I'm American by birth but Southern by the Grace of God. As Big J has opened his mind to all this different kind of music, let's open our minds to each other. Please.
Elvis was touched by god. There will never be another legend like him. Loved and missed by millions. Great example of God's love
