It's hard to explain my respect and admiration for Conan O'Obrien. How he survived and blossomed after the Tonight Show fiasco is one of television's greatest comebacks ever.
”Fiasco”?! Maybe he doesn’t take that business too seriously, it’s just entertainment!
What a fantastic interview. This is a side of Conan I didn't know existed; and Guralnick, of course, provided so much insight into Elvis Presley. For any Elvis fan, this is more than worth your time.
"Perfect realisation of imperfect striving." What a beautiful, way to articulate the entire belief system of rock and roll.
Conan is a fan who doesn't gush and remains focused. He also asks the questions that seek answers to why Elvis destructed
Great interview Conan. I read both Peter Guralnick's books on Elvis and they were great.
Keep these coming, Team Coco! You have a dedicated following here
Nice to come across this in the feed. Great interview filled with insightful tidbits. Elvis and Sam Phillips flung the doors wide open. I read Last Train to Memphis last summer and need to read the second volume Careless Love. I think knowing what's to come makes it a hard read. He truly burned himself out. The sad fact is you can't save one from oneself. He had so much left to offer and it would have been fantastic to see his continued accomplishments. Elvis' voice is truly one for the ages. We saw him at the Astrodome when I was little. He was magnetic despite the cavernous size of the Astrodome. I'm glad I was on the planet during Elvis' lifetime.
Not that he needs another job, but Conan is a natural successor to Charlie Rose. Fantastic interview.
...this comment aged poorly.
@@Manyxe *a better version
Wad youyou is your tut youshy got it up in y ok ok but ur post about f tuition tuit ghtsTikTo.
I find it interesting that Conan mentions that he had once interviewed David Halberstam and mentioned Halberstam's book, "The Fifties" in this interview at the 4:07 mark. If you don't know who David Halberstam is, he is a Pulitzer Prize winning writer, reporter, journalist, author and historian who at one time wrote for The Tennessean newspaper in Nashville, TN and later wrote for The New York Times. I'd be curious to know if Conan knows that Elvis met David Halberstam on March 21, 1960 in Nashville while Halberstam was a reporter / writer for The Tennessean. There's a photo of the two of them together walking near the train that Elvis would leave on to head to Miami Beach, Florida to tape an ABC television special with Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop. You also see Bitsy Mott in the photo as well. Elvis had just completed a recording session in Nashville the night before in which he recorded "Make Me Know It," "Soldier Boy," "Stuck On You," "Fame And Fortune," "A Mess Of Blues," and "It Feels So Right." I'd like to know if Halberstam ever mentioned to Conan that he had once met Elvis.
Long form interviews have always been one of my favorite things to watch or read. I really fell in love with them watching Inside The Actor's Studio. You're doing an awesome job, Conan. These are great.
Wow, I didn't know Conan had this side to him either. He is very knowledgeable about the topic, and this brings out good stuff from his guest. There's a lot of substance here. If he doesn't do these anymore, I hope he'll eventually do another longform interview show.
This interview was absolutely amazing, i want to show it to everyone i know.
Thank you Conan, for this interview, but mostly, for recognizing and giving credit to Elvis' story. You mention most of what I think of Elvis, and am pleased that you truly see the true Elvis!
came here after conans podcast with luke wilson. we love coco!
Outrageously informative and entertaining. As long as they stick to subjects Conan is passionate about they should all be very interesting.
That song that you are talking about where Elvis is singing and playing in his final concert in 1977 was introduced by Elvis as "Unchained Melody." "From the album, Unchained Melody. Makes sense don't it... how do you like it so far?"
I really would love if Conan had a weekly podcast. I think he'd get that cult type of following he used to enjoy in his late night years. He's just so intelligent and a great interviewer.
He has one now!
Peter Guralnick is in my opinion without a doubt the gold standard in music-centric biographers. I have all of his books, among my approximately 150-book library of musician/band bios. His Elvis books have no agenda, but to give us a glimpse into and understanding of the artist and the boy/man. Peter is a brilliant and thorough writer. And Conan - What a great and insightful interview!
Conan always had the perfect observations about Elvis in this interview. It's truly amazing!
I've come to the conclusion that i really want to meet and hang out with Conan. I think he'd be cool as hell, and honestly, i would love to pick his brain for a day or too.
The fact that he's made it in the industry enough to just really spend his money on a show to interview his interests and heroes impresses me hugely.
About hanging out with Conan. He’s Harward educated, what we see is just a public image.
The authorities might have wanted to put Elvis back in his box, but he was the expression of his times.
When someone comes along and through their talent becomes the focal point of a generation, a figure that expresses the aspirations of an unheard segment of the population, that person becomes an unstoppable social force.
That, in my opinion is why Elvis was drafted into the Army. Ricky Nelson wasn't drafted, Eddie Cochran wasn't drafted neither was Pat Boone or Buddy Holly or Chuck Berry. Only Elvis. They wanted him out of the way. It worked for a little while, but only until the Beatles and Stones were able to pick up where Elvis left off.
I enjoyed every minute of this interview. I learned so much, it was very interesting. I haven’t read the two books yet, but I plan on doing so soon!
I like how Conan's interviews range from hip and fun to interesting to horrifically boring and everywhere in between so far lol
Brilliant. Really enjoyed this interview and the entire series thus far. Can't wait to read his books!
Great interview. Peter did the research on Elvis and wrote a two volume biography on him that really did him justice. Some of the biographies written about him before peters were awful.
I love this so much, first because I love Elvis Presley and second is because I enjoy Conan! :)
I super-duper love this series, Conan! Please keep them up.
I loved this interview. I haven't seen Martin Short in a while and was only going to watch a few minutes of this and ended up watching the whole thing. Thank you.
CONAN ROCKS! I've been hooked since the 90s!!
The Conan personality who went to Harvard really comes out in these Serious Jibber-Jabber!
the song was by the wrighteous brothers.. Ohh, myyy lovee, My darling... I hunger for your touch.. alone.. etc...
CONAN!!! YOU ARE SO COOL!!!! I LOVED THIS PLEASE MAKE MORE IN DEPTH INTERVIEWS YOU'RE GREAT!!!
Need more jibber jabber conan....need more.....
Amazing interview
love these videos. bc conan is hilarious but he's really smart, and these in depth interviews are really interesting to listen
I've read Last Train to Nashville several times and I still enjoy it.
Last Train to Memphis
I love watching these. Please make more episodes.
This is my favorite youtube video
Unchained melody!
Conan can fill the Charlie Rose slot for PBS
agree. and after listening to his speech in... some university (sorry i forgot which one it was) you respect him even more. truly inspiring words
I keep thinking this is Christopher Guest as Alan Barrows of The Folksmen and am finding it hard to take seriously because of that. ♪ And the skeletons... of Quinto... call me home... ♫
I’m an Australian and renowned for my love of music and artists prior to my generation….which was ultimately the late 70s and 80s (being born in 1965). Among my favourite all time artists are Elvis, Cooke, Bobby Darin and Diamond. It’s also a fact that these artists don’t ‘fit into a box’, and connect through their voice on a level which is phenomenal. I’ve often wondered why we’ve never seen a photo of Elvis and Cooke together. In fact, the amount of footage of Sam Cooke available is dismal.
Had Elvis ‘survived’ beyond 1977, I believe we’d have seen him produce more gospel/blues albums. I’ve read that he spent many evenings singing gospel in private and travelled with a gospel pianist.
Wonderful interview with a great guest.
I'm pretty sure the song they are talking about at the end is Unchained Melody. It can easily be found here on youtube.
There are two types of jibber jabber. One is the more funny walk through the park. And the other is a more serious journey through history and time. I love both.
Two things.
1. the way he moves and the top of his head are exactly like my grandpa
2. This guy should write a book about Syd Barrett
love it, absolutely loved it.
Absolutely love seeing Conan like this. Fantastic video(s)
Superb, this stands head and shoulders above the usual music related dross on this platform. I’m off to buy some of the books 😍.
His sun sides are the best!
I know what you mean Mr. Conan many things that he did depresses me and he is so great and having wasted that hurts...
Awesome stuff! More of these, please!
Very well done interview. Insightful. Your best work, Conan.
God do I love these interviews... I'm waiting for one where you discuss with an actor. I don't know who but I'm sure you will pick somebody interesting. Loved the Jack White one and this one. Can't wait for more!
Really good ,I most certainly enjoyed it.
watching Conan is my therapy.love ya, Conan!
Really great interview / discussion.
I always was an Elvis fan and rockabilly in general.
Brilliant interview
O'Brian is in his element here.
I wonder what band Peter was referring to, they didn't film an episode on the 15th and I obviously can't know when they actually filmed the video. Within the past week oft June 15th there had been Capital Cities, New Politics, Houndmouth, Jr Jr, some band that the lead singer of Spoon did, and that duo that Emily Deschanel is/was in. But maybe they filmed this three weeks or months prior. You know Marina and the Diamonds performed the month prior I'm gonna choose to believe he was talking about her
A lot of people don't seem to realize that just because Conan ACTS like an idiot doesn't mean he IS an idiot.
Great stuff!
He sounds like Toby from the office lol..
The fact that Conan is an Elvis fan and not just a banal comedian gave me great respect for him...I am since this interview a fan...he must be innately good because he loves ELVIS...He knows the phenomenon that was Elvis and respects it...he gets it!!!
jason bailey he graduated from Harvard
Masterclass.
Wow....these are fantastic.
Conan is so appealing as a serous man. Sure he’s funny. But here he is sensitive interesting and smart. All qualities thst are worthy and necessary for a discussion of the artistry of Elvis.
YES.
Elvis was something that never interested me, but I think this has convinced me that there's something worthwhile to see there.
Get into Elvis' library. You will be completely blown away. GOAT.
I got into Elvis recently due to baz' film. My favorite books are In the Twilight of Memory and Elvis 57
Inspiring. Thnx Conan
The song they're talking about at the end is , unchained melody? ? ?
Very interesting topic. Enjoyed.
I think the song they are talking about at the end is Unchained Melody
on YT-last tour before his death 67 weeks later--he really gave all he had for that performance and really every performance...he wanted to always give his fans a great show--loved his fans and appreciated them
Meant to say 6 weeks later
L'intervista è molto interessante, per l'autorevolezza dell'intervistato e per la professionalità dell'intervistatore.Ho letto, naturalmente i due volumi di Guralnick e li sto rileggendo .Sono arrivata a metà del secondo. Come dice Conan non è facile comprendere a fondo tutto per i molti personaggi trattati, i dettagli minuziosi , e, mi perdoni l'autore, per le sue numerose e lunghe parentesi Vorrei pregare Vali-Tere e tutti quelli che se la sentono di tradurre questa intervista in italiano.Sarebbe una grande fatica , ma un'opera meritoria.Parlano molto in fretta e non ho potuto seguire tutti i loro discorsi. Una cosa so, con tutto il rispetto per Guralnick ,al cui confronto,pur avendo letto molto su Elvis & company,non sono nessuno, non condivido i suoi giudizi super positivii su l Colonello, seconda fase. Rese Elvis (e se steso) ricco e famoso ma gli impedì di realizzare i suoi sogn e realizzare i suoi nuovi obiettivi artisticii. Gli ha domandato Conan perchè Elvis fu così passivo e non impose la sua volontà, e ancora lui ha giustificato tutte le decisioni di Parker. Ma ,credo sia noto che negli ultimi anni Elvis non si fidava più di lui e aveva deciso di licenziarlo definitivamente nel mese di settembre. E lui morì in agosto..
Probably one of the only highly intelligent talk show hosts.
It's only pedestrian if you don't know the people they are mentioning. It's really just 2 guys who like music talking. It's not for everyone.
I wish you hadn’t cut him off when he was telling or about to tell the story about muddy waters and howlin wolf
I’m glad the podcasts are the way they are, and not as ‘serious’ as this
i like these 'serious' discussions, i think they offer an entertaining insight into a calmer side of Conan
They're two completely different things. But serious jibber jabber is far superior in my opinion
mj isnt part of the artist hes talking about. he mentioned johnny cash and roy orbison. those two guys were part of the original sun team. mj was an 80s star. mj wasnt even born when elvis was starting
exactly, he did go to harvard after all. i dont think people realize how hard it is to get into harvard
really enjoyable
coco you need to put peter Joseph on this
So riveting, I soiled my pants.
Peter Guralnick are you secretly Toby Flenderson?
In all seriousness, this was a great interview.
connan on pbs
Lástima que no esté traducido
DogsWhoHuntLions It´s a girl
No se le puede pedir peras al olmo, que grosero. Ahora aprenda español idiota-
I can't until Conan retires from comedy and then spends the rest of his time making rock n roll music and touring, kind of like how Hugh Laurie retired and tours blues music
This shall be interesting.
How I hate when someone says ”he knew everything....he did everything”!
He seems to be oblivious to outside criticism. He's THAT good.
did anyone elses computer stop at 28 minutes?? wth
He should interview Rose for this series.
when conan talks about the modern day and how a celebrity like elvis would've gotten help, well, what about MJ?
What is that profile picture? I have been wondering why do so many people have that same profile picture.
Conan should have hosted Talking Bad
It's true, that explosion of Elvis breaking out of burgesois morals was immediately acted upon by Americans, so how would a kid follow up on this? Glad it gave us Conan
wow 1hour video
You know who would be great, although he's a bit old at 83....William Shatner is a fantastic interviewer...see Raw Nerve.
I think Conan kind of misses the whole idea of Elvis getting out of the army. The US government drafted Elvis because he was a threat to civilization; a white man singing black music, his pelvis, rock 'n roll recklessness, etc. The Elvis that came out of the army was a completely different person than the one who went in. He was sanitized, sanctified, his wings were clipped, and he was non-threatening. Elvis was a very complex human being: handsome, a good singer, stylish and with vision, and enough charisma for ten people. Elvis was the very first Rock Star, and he left an indelible mark on all who came after him, including the Beatles. But also, Elvis needed teams of songwriters and great musicians around him to be as good as he was (something the Beatles did not need--they were self contained: good players, great songwriters, attractive, stylish, funny, and full of youthful enthusiasm and charisma). Elvis getting drafted worked for the US government. He was completely defanged, and in a lot of ways he died a broken man. If the Establishment could have done that to the Beatles too they would have. Rock and Roll was very threatening.
Absolutely right, but it wasn't only the government that did it. "Colonel" Parker did way more damage to Elvis by sanitizing him almost to death. His goal was to make him a lasting entertainer that appealed to the parents as well as their teenagers, and why not include the little kids too. There's a reason his first gig after the army was with Frank Sinatra. Fortunately Elvis overcame that temporarily when he did the 68 special and went back to performing live. I wish he had stood up for himself more often and told Parker where to go.
