Timeless performance! To your point, 1973 no ear piece, no autotune, Elvis is controlling his own fades both in and out with his superb mic control, displaying his unbelievable pitch. All while performing live with a full band, 2 backup groups and a orchestra. Great reaction! 🔥
The thing that keeps hitting me is just how much he feels the music. That "death glare" was a direct response to the bass horns hitting their bottom pitches. AND ....... at the end, I am in awe of just how much power must have been coming from him to be clearly heard above the (as you say) full band, 2 backup groups and orchestra with the mic that far away from his mouth, and he STILL comes through so powerfully. The man is a true legend and can NEVER be imitated. RIP Elvis!
I don´t get it because I´m not a musician. Why didn´t they wear an ear piece at the time and why do current musicians have all ear pieces in their ears?
These artist today are all trained entertainers, but Elvis was still better than all of them developing his own raw talent and getting no training. The King Of Music forever!
Oh yeah this song was definitely made for Elvis, because he was a true southern gentleman , loved gospel , and loved his country ,and he is the only one who can sing it , with so much passion and emotion and the power in his voice , just makes you feel it thru your heart and soul ❤️
Elvis was nominated for 14 Grammy's, he was awarded 3, all for his gospel music.. and ironically 2 for the same song How Great Thou Art, both the recorded version and the live version both received a Grammy. So with the limited technology he still manages to give a Grammy award performance.. just amazing
Brilliant, it's monumental! The most beautiful voice in the universe! He is unique, the only with the total package. The greatest singer of all times. ELVIS PRESLEY: A VOICE FOR ETERNITY! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The king donated all the money to charity from aloha from Hawaii. He helped Danny Thomas open Saint Jude. He raised the Arizona at pearl harbor. And 10 000 other things. He's one of the very top people in America history to give his estate still gives. He did hundreds of concerts for charity. He holds the record for most flowers sold in one day. 1977 August. Long live the king of rock n roll and everything else. TX good night Graceland
I wanna say as a 51 year old man who was raised on Elvis , and I remember where I was when he passed because my mom was so devastated, seeing you two enjoying and respecting his pure talent makes me smile , and u are so right with his voice and technique. He was a gift . I am still and always will be an Elvis fan and thank you both for bringing him to the masses 🙏🏻 TCB ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Same here 51 years of age... I was seven when he passed and I was a fan at 4 years old because I caught a replay of the Hawaiian concert in 74 - I believe I was attracted by his outfit and cape - I really thought he was a superhero - turned out I was right after all, a real life Superman! We Miss You Elvis👈🤠
I’m a 56 male Elvis fan ,to me as a kid growing up his Xmas album was my first …..and a box record player for Xmas at 6 so 73 I was in awe of him from that day!!! My whole family cried when he passed !!
It's hard to imagine him topping this performance, but he absolutely did in the one that went live round the world 💕 either way, his voice just leaves you speechless, breathless and utterly awe struck. Magic 💕
@@beckylb8610 Yes but it was the first show which was recorded in case the satellite failed, then they'd show this. A precaution. You can tell by his hair and the lack of lei's round his neck. Both parts of shows can be seen on here.
Love him or hate him there is no denying this man was extraordinary talented and striking good looking and left a mark in the world that very few people have
What a voice,what charisma....there is noone coming close to him...a real superstar,I was 15 when he died...and a friend came rushing... Have u heard....Elvis is dead...I know exactly where I was that second...
Epic performance. Magic moments with Elvis are lifetime journey. beyond his music . He was amazing human being, really humble and down to earth person. you can see his influence on many generations. around 800,000 people visiting Graceland in Memphis Tennessee every year.
Amazing reaction guys . Now this was from the rehersal show . You can tell because his hair is styled diffrent. It was Col Parker who organised this concert . Both concerts raised 75 000 dollars for the kulali cancer fund . An hawaii songwriter elvis knew . Elvis took no fee for these concerts . Listen to what now my love from the same concert or Its over . My personal favorite was I Will Rember you
@Graham ...this was just the REHEARSAL SHOW?? 😳 I must have seen this video a dozen times and had no idea!! Man, his rehearsals were probably better than a lot of others' live shows. I'm so happy and proud to be an Elvis Presley fan, may God rest his soul. 🥰❤❤🙏
Plus, Elvis paid all costs for the band & singers. Also, to ensure all seats were available to the general public, there were No tickets given away (as are usually given to “important people”, insiders, radio stations, etc) & there was No set ticket price. People were encouraged to pay what they could afford. Elvis started sales off by paying $1K for his own ticket. [source- Angie Marchese, VP of Archives & Exhibits at Graceland, on the "Gates of Graceland" series].
I can only say this. There was only one Elvis. There will always only be one Elvis. Elvis Presley became larger than life. Elvis---The King of Entertainment. Never to be forgotten. May he always RIP!!
The "68" Comeback Special was Elvis at his peak. There was no one more handsome than Elvis in his leathers that no night. You have to react to it, please.
After Elvis Presley died on August 16, 1977, the African American newspaper, the Chicago Defender explained that: “When Elvis Presley breathed his last breath and the press hailed him as the ‘King of Rock,’ Ol’ Man River cried out, ‘Naw he ain’t! My friend Chuck Berry is the King of Rock. Presley was merely a Prince who profited from the royal talent of a sovereign ruler vested with tremendous creativity. Had Berry been white, he could have rightly taken [Presley’s] throne and worn his crown well.’”
@@jessiem276 Chuck Berry was aight, but he couldn't even carry Elvis' blue suede shoes. Also...what's your attraction to zappa ffs? You are one weird dude.🤷🏻♂️
If you notice, if his band sings or like in this instance when a member is playing the flute, he always turns towards them, like to give his complete respect
My boy was born to sing this song, always flawless and fantastic, you have just had your ears blessed, he will never ever be anything but but the King, sleep well my super nova.
Please guys keep the Elvis music cominnn’. This proves to everyone that he is the King of Music!! So sad Elvis is gone the world really needs him now. I remember Bugs Bunny singing it also.
I get goosebumps when i hear these songs. My family come up north but brought these songs with them. i have no shame to say i still listen to them and respect/reflect it's meaning to All Americans! You could not have a picked a finer Vocalist . Ty
And all my trials Lord will soon be over, and 4 years later they were. A man who always felt alone, even when surrounded by people, and he wasn't confident, terrible stage fright before every show THE KING IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE KING ❤️
No one better. I'm 57 yrs old, bought my 1st Elvis album at age 5 for .99 cents at the 5 and dime. Never got to see him live. I own all his movies. He is the greatest. Since this movie a lot of people are being introduced to him for the first time. So awesome!!
Lived my whole life in Louisiana and grew up as a kid in the 70’s under parents crazy about Elvis. James Burton who played guitar for Elvis for many years is from and still lives in the town right next to where I live. I was only 8 when Elvis died so never saw him live but I’ve seen his old guitarist James play Elvis stuff many times here in clubs around town and he’s amazing. This was always my most fav Elvis song but being raised southern myself, it resonates. Everyone in the south knows what he’s saying with these lyrics. He always had a perfect voice for songs that sounded like or were gospel hymns. I’m 53 and started learning guitar two years ago. Suspicious Minds was the second song I learned. I love playing his music. It will always be spectacular.
I love your reactions to Elvis! His vocals are incomparable! Love the smile on your faces and the joy he brings to you and all his fans throughout the decades!
Mannnnn I remember him so well, we were kids and Elvis would have a movie come out nearly every summer for drive inn theater season probably. We loved it , never took my eyes off the screen. Thank you for this. Great channel.
As others have said, this was the rehearsal show .... they watched the taping of this show, which was really just to get the camera angles, lighting and sound double checked, and Elvis decided to get his haircut. The show went out live to 36 Countries in the far east, but not to the USA as it was the day of Super Bowl VII. It was finally shown weeks later on NBC, on 4/4/1973, and was NBC's highest rated show of the year. The double-album of the show topped the Billboard 100, went Gold in 3 weeks and has since been certified 5X Platinum ....
Should be 10× Platinum as it is a double album, sold as a double album. But the RIAA says because of pricing and/ or running time it only counts as a single album. They did this to at least 2 other Elvis double albums. Just another way to try and keep his total sales low.
Hi great reaction, what a voice elvis singing live too in concert that was the first live satellite show on tv, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless and hope you and your family's are keeping well
No one makes this better than you guys, because you are sincere and you sure have a deep understanding of both performance, vocals and everything else. 🤘
I’ve gotta agree with and give high props to Matt for turnin’ y’all on to the greatest entertainer of all time ELVIS!! I’m 73 and have been a huge fan since I’m 6 years old when I was supposed to be in bed but stuck my head out the door to see him on the Milton Berle show. Livin’ my life through him ever since!
Hi Travis and Susie, I am loving your Elvis reactions, although I do have a question for you ,, I have left several requests for ELVIS songs but I never hear you react to anyone, other than Matt, which bye the way , tell him hello from another huge Elvis fan, I would love for you to react to Elvis singing It's Over,, a very powerful song and Walk a mile in my shoes, as well as one where his only child, Lisa Marie joins in with him, it's called Where No one stands Alone, so beautiful and peaceful, , and I just thought of another one,, Always on my mind, beautiful song by the greatest showman of all time, I know I saw him 3 times in concert in the 70s and he always blew the roof off the building,, he didn't need all these special gadgets that today's musicians have, just. Pure Magic, ELVIS is MUSIC. Thanks, and stay on the Elvis journey. TCB1935🕺🕺🕺⚡⚡⚡👑👑👑👃👃👃👃
He was called the King for a reason. No one compares. He opened the door for more black performers & was a generous man. If you have not heard him do 'In the Ghetto', watch it. Powerful song with a totally different vibe. In those days, you could sing or you couldn't. No fancy technology helping anything. His voice was amazing & the world lost an amazing talent, far too soon. ~ I love how he always put the Karate moves in his performances. He started it when he was in the Army & continued throughout his entire life. He was a blackbelt & took it very seriously. My brother was in the air force & was stationed in Hawaii during the Vietnam war & got to see Elvis live for his Hawaii concert. 1973 maybe? I was sooooooo jealous.
Beautiful song creation, an ode to the American Civil War, and the struggle and sacrifice associated with that horrible conflict. This masterpiece balances it's dedication to both the Northern Union and to the Southern Confederacy. It incorporates extracts from three important pieces of music : The Battle Hymn of the Union, The Battle Hymn of the Confederacy (Dixie), and the beautiful Joan Baez classic "All My Trials." In doing so, the song pays poignant and heartfelt tribute to the vast numbers of Americans - fathers, husbands, brothers, sons - who marched off to war, never to return, bravely and willingly giving their lives for the freedoms and the way of life they held so dear, in this most costly of all American conflicts on record ( interesting fact : more Americans died in the Civil War than in WWI, WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War - all combined !! ) This was Elvis at his best, tipping his artistic hat to an important and lasting part of American history
Yes, and in fact, it was originally from the Bahamas. That's why it is called American Trilogy and it looks at all three facets of Civil War era and it is just so masterful!
Yours is the first I noticed that addressed what this was about and then some others added some additional details/clarifications. To be honest, when I first was introduced to this I thought what the heck is going on with this. But with further listening and internet reading I learned what it all was about and I gained a real respect and appreciation for it. I just can’t imagine anyone but Elvis having the gravitas and vocal capability to sing it. I think it is an amazing piece and belongs in what is referred to as The American Songbook.
A surely love your reactions to the King,!! Definitely see the movie Elvis. Saw it 3 times. Reaction to some of his gospel which helped the most. How Great Thou Art
You guys had a number of great observations: 1. the quality of his voice and the music was amazing; hard to believe it was roughly 50 years ago. 2. Being that Elvis was so different, it was brilliant by those who saw his ability, although he was rejected early on on several occasions to include the Grand Ole Opry.
This is the alternate Aloha concert (rehearsal on Jan 12th, 1973) prior to the actual one on Jan 14th. You NEED to watch/react the that one. It’s a step up from this one, both musically and vocally.

Yes but it was the first show which was recorded in case the satellite failed, then they'd show this. A precaution.
You can tell by his hair and the lack of lei's round his neck.
Both parts of shows can be seen on here.
The only one competing with Elvis was Elvis
@@beckylb8610this was the rehearsal show not the one that was live.
What a incredible man talented beautiful voice it put so much in his gospel songs thanks for this video
Many could probably write the music but only Elvis could really tell the story! Forever the King 👑
simply the greatest nobody will come close there will be people reacting to Elvis in another 100 years
Presley, Sinatra, and the Beatles will be remembered a century from now.
This is absolutely AMAZING...What a voice...Jesus
Love you guys so glad you can listen to Elvis and see his talent and hear that amazing voice of his rest in peace to the king of hearts

He was called the King for a reason. No one compares. He opened the door for more black performers & was a generous man. If you have not heard him do 'In the Ghetto', watch it. Powerful song with a totally different vibe. In those days, you could sing or you couldn't. No fancy technology helping anything. His voice was amazing & the world lost an amazing talent, far too soon. ~ I love how he always put the Karate moves in his performances. He started it when he was in the Army & continued throughout his entire life. He was a blackbelt & took it very seriously. My brother was in the air force & was stationed in Hawaii during the Vietnam war & got to see Elvis live for his Hawaii concert. 1973 maybe? I was sooooooo jealous.
The flute gets me every time!
Beautiful song creation, an ode to the American Civil War, and the struggle and sacrifice associated with that horrible conflict.
This masterpiece balances it's dedication to both the Northern Union and to the Southern
Confederacy. It incorporates extracts from three important pieces of music : The Battle Hymn of the Union, The Battle Hymn of the Confederacy (Dixie), and the beautiful Joan Baez classic "All My Trials." In doing so, the song pays poignant and heartfelt tribute to the vast numbers of Americans - fathers, husbands, brothers, sons - who marched off to war, never to return, bravely and willingly giving their lives for the freedoms and the way of life they held so dear, in this most costly of all American conflicts on record
( interesting fact : more Americans died in the Civil War than in WWI, WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War - all combined !! )
This was Elvis at his best, tipping his artistic hat to an important and lasting part of American history
All My Trials (Hush little Baby) was an old Negro spiritual/ lullabye....used to represent the Negroes in this Civil War montage...
Yes, and in fact, it was originally from the Bahamas. That's why it is called American Trilogy and it looks at all three facets of Civil War era and it is just so masterful!
@@cindyk.6462 correct! Thanks for adding that!
Yours is the first I noticed that addressed what this was about and then some others added some additional details/clarifications. To be honest, when I first was introduced to this I thought what the heck is going on with this. But with further listening and internet reading I learned what it all was about and I gained a real respect and appreciation for it. I just can’t imagine anyone but Elvis having the gravitas and vocal capability to sing it. I think it is an amazing piece and belongs in what is referred to as The American Songbook.
A surely love your reactions to the King,!! Definitely see the movie Elvis. Saw it 3 times. Reaction to some of his gospel which helped the most. How Great Thou Art
Epic song and performance!
Epic, timeless performance, I still get goosebumps and emotional watching him perform. The best.
there's a reason the King is the King !
Kentucky Rain & Bridge Over Troubled Water( live in Vegas)☮️💜
You guys had a number of great observations: 1. the quality of his voice and the music was amazing; hard to believe it was roughly 50 years ago. 2. Being that Elvis was so different, it was brilliant by those who saw his ability, although he was rejected early on on several occasions to include the Grand Ole Opry.
This is the alternate Aloha concert (rehearsal on Jan 12th, 1973) prior to the actual one on Jan 14th. You NEED to watch/react the that one. It’s a step up from this one, both musically and vocally.
This song is just epic
Perfect comment. His voice was breathtaking. Vicki
Great reactions guys. Love love love it. 💕💕💕💕
His microphone technique is so on point.
Wow Elvis gave me goosebumps.
This is the rehearsal version, the better version was the live out version to 1.5 billion people viewing..
first time ever using satellite to broadcast live across the world...
