In Elvis's time there was no auto tune. Natural god given talent, he had everything the voice, looks, charisma. No one has ever replaced him or ever will. i subbed thank you
Elvis holds the Guinness Book Of Records for most records sold worldwide, by a soloist or group, at 1.5+ billion! He is also the most significant cultural icon of the 20th century. He towers over everyone else, an unrivaled legend!
My father loved Elvis. Never gave him a chance. Not until last year when my son was playing in the pit band for the schools production of All Shook Up. 170 pages of Elvis music he had to learn. I found the show fun but really enjoyed the music. After than I watched the Elvis movie and ever since I’ve watched a million videos of him live. He was one hell of a singer, entertainer and I have a whole new respect and understanding as to why people loved him.
Over a billion people watched this show and the first the only via Satellite ever as no one else can pull this off but Elvis. The concert was for charity of an Hawaiian songwriter who passed and all of the money went to the charity.
@@golddredgewater , that's one reason I'm moving on from here, besides the fact that they showed a photo instead of the actual live performance! How they got to almost 17K subscribers is beyond my understanding.
This performance was beamed live via satellite around the world from Hawaii. 1.2 billion people watched live. What entertainer could pull that off. The man had it all..handsome, tall , fantastic voice, generous to the poor.. There was a reason he was called The King. Men wanted to be like him & women wanted him. No one could sell out concerts like Elvis.
As mentioned, it was a live concert going out around the world. He did not move as much in this concert because he had to get it right. He had moved a bunch in earlier concerts and would have a mishap or 2 such as splitting his pants and having his hair all over the place. He did not want to have any issues that would not be easily forgotten such as him falling or tripping. This was going out to the world and had to show him as an ivory tower. He looked clean from the beginning to the end and his image was great.
Elvis was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, in a 2 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory. Elvis always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather, Jesse Dunning Presley, was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. J.D. Presley was quite the racist a-hole, often drunk and a philandering husband to Minnie Mae (they were actually separated long before they finally divorced in 1954) who was always competing with his sons Vester and Vernon and who was known to abuse his kids when drunk. J.D. was was publicly against race mixing and was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. It was more publicly known that the Smith family had Native blood in their family tree, so when both his sons fell for 2 Smith sisters and Vernon, on top of that, was still a minor at 17 when he eloped with Gladys who was 4 years older than him, Jesse was totally pissed off. As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis (th-cam.com/video/LrFCyNMvZWk/w-d-xo.html). One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.
This song is a medley of 3 patriotic American songs: Dixie (confederacy song); All My Trials (African American Spiritual); and Battle Hymn of the Republic (Union song). Elvis sings The American Trilogy from deep in his heart and soul, which is why it is loved not just in America but internationally as well.
Got to see him in person to truly appreciate the performance. Thanks for your reaction. See his 68 special "Trying to Get to You". " If I Can Dream" !earn the history you no nothing about him.
I subscribed hoping to hear more Elvis reactions. There is so much there. And it's interesting that she was saying she needs to see him dancing but that's real difficult because he dance differently in every performance but not only that, it varied so much throughout his career. Even though it was cut short, there is a huge difference between Elvis at 20 years old in the mid-1950s and Elvis here in his 30s in Hawaii. It's just so different. Check out any of the early black-and-white television performances from 1956 but particularly 1956 to Milton Berle show doing hound-dog which is what set off the racist firestorm in. Him being filmed from the waist up for a while after that, at least when they thought he was going to do anything too over-the-top for the time, which is obviously nothing by today's standards. But his performances at that 1970 Vegas show that got filmed are just phenomenal although again it's decades later. Check out Suspicious Minds from that show. But you should also check out the finale to his 1968 Comeback Special he was absolutely incredible beyond belief. They wanted him to do a classic Christmas song at the end of the show and he insisted on doing something socially relevant and also in reaction to the very recent Martin Luther King assassination which totally emotionally devastated him. So one of his producers who was also a songwriter wrote at song, If I Can Dream, for him and it is largely regarded as one of the greatest performances. It was the end of the show and he is in a white suit and a red tie and you will be blown away. And for God's sake, don't miss the massive mic drop moment at the end like 25% of reactors do when they do it. And then apparently after that he went backstage and curled up in a ball and cry for hours. It is an emotionally draining performance and it is stunning and also wonderful that he used his platform at the time, against strong bitterness from his manager and other producers that they thought it was just too crazy of a thing to do and then it could ruin his career. Colonel Tom Parker infamously said, this is not the kind of music that Elvis should be doing. This song was a somber song and it is called a Trilogy because it is three things, at first or traditional Song of the South during the 1800s, and then the song of the North during the 1800s and then a Caribbean slave lullaby which also got picked up both and slavery settings here as well as in the mid-1900s by the folk movement as part of social justice activity. It's a tremendous idea and it's so well done and as usual, he shines the spotlight on his backup band and singers as much as he can.
Thank you for this one! He could make you laugh and sometimes cry. He was sweating because humans sweat in the heat☺️ and his suit was heavy. Later on he had many scarves to wipe away his sweat. Once in a while he gave them to his audience.
Elvis had a fantastic band, because he's Elvis. He wasn't going to settle for anything less. That's how he heard music, with all of that orchestration and to fill up the sound in big arenas.
I was at this Aloha concert 1973 n sat 3rd row center n couldn't take my eyes off of him. I even jumped up on my seat n thru him a kiss.n I was 21Yes im old now but Elvis music keeps me young I'm alot like your grandmother going crazy about him. .Remember No AUTOTUNE. 1.5 Billion records n is selling more today. We are only seeing a picture of Elvis not the video of the live concert ( copy right ?) Steamroller Blues Aloha concert. Elvis always sweats alot, This was seen by over 1.5 Billion people. Not only was he a great entertainer he gave most of his millions to charities, helped pay for the Pearl Harbor memorial, gave money, Jewelry, Motorcycles, Houses, Trips, paid medical for people who couldn't pay for medical treatment, had his driver stop at the side of rode n gave homeless person $5,000 to start his life over, Gave alot to handicap children, I could go on n on with things he did for the world. If he was living today he would be a multimillionaire+ I never met E but became friends with Charlie Hodge his confidant and best friend for years after Elvis died I kept a journal on the stories that hetold me. If you wanted to see his moves watch Suspicious Minds Vagus 1970.i want to know if your grandmother saw his Vagus concert 1970 when he sang Love Me Tender. Yes all the entertainers would copy Elvis moves. Tom Jones became a good friend n did you know E. daughter Lisa Marie married MJ, I better stop writing a journal about him. Keep the videos coming. I love your reaction bye for now
...ok...he recorded over 700 songs(he is in 5 Halls of Fame: country, gospel, rock-a-billy, rhythm&blues, rock n roll)... watch live from his 68' comeback special(black leather outfit)...or, live 1970 Las Vegas : suspicious minds or, maybe polk salad annie....good luck!
This was was sung at many late 70 elvis concerts . If you want dancing elvis then it must be las vegas 1970 suspicious minds , patch it up polk salad Annie. If you to hear elvis vocal ability in the 70s , what now my love or bridge over troubled water 1970 white suit version . Now to see what your grandma is speaking about it must be Hound Dog from the Milton berle show original audio .
Sweating on stage was in vogue during the 1960's and early 1970's ... meant that they were putting everything into the show ! Johnny Cash used to down two beers quickly followed by salt tablets to ensure he sweated ... look at period footage of James Brown, Tom Jones, Jackie Wilson, Little Richard etc ... Also this was Hawaii at 1.30am in the morning, wearing a 70lb jumpsuit under the strong stage lights needed for the TV broadcast ...
1935 on January 8 a huge star was born, but sadly in 1977 on august 16 we lost a great musician, a amazing singer, but we also lost a amazing humanitarian that helped so many people that he did not even know. Today over 46 years after his death, people are still calling Elvis the King of Rock'n'Roll (he said that Chubby Checker was the one that should be called King of Rock'n roll, if any human should), Elvis didn't like that title and he believed that the only King was God and he actually told this to his fans several times, he said: I believe that God is the only true king, sometimes he added Jesus Christ. I think that Elvis is a MASTER not only of king of Rock'n roll, he is A MASTER of many genres of music because he can sing very well in any genre, but what do you think, is he good enough to be called a music king? Elvis was really in my mind, a MASTER of GOSPEL and other music, no one does it better then him, he is best known for making Rock'n roll famous, so he was called The King of Rock'n roll, but he never liked that people called him that, he repeatedly stopped fans who said that he was the king of rock'n roll, telling them: I'm just an entertainer and singer, God is the only true King (sometimes he also said Jesus Christ is the only King)... He also never liked the "so called joke" Elvis the Pelvis, he loved Jokes, but that was for him very hurtful to hear people say, or write that. Did you know that Elvis was a Sandy Blonde with Blue Eyes... Elvis was born in the poor part of Tupelo Mississippi (in a shotgun house) and it was mainly Afro Americans living there, at the place where Elvis family lived there only lived 3 more white families, the rest was colored people, his family was dirt poor until he became an artist after singing in a mainly colored peoples church during his childhood. Did you know that he had several friends that where Afro Americans, one of his friends where James Brown, yes THAT James Brown (The King of Soul), another artist was B.B King, yes that B.B King... He also was a good friend with Mohamed Ali, yes the GREATEST boxer of all time, he even had a Robe made for him, but it was to much bling on it so Ali wouldn't where it more then one time to a fight. Elvis really admired Martin Luther King very much, Elvis felt that all people are equal, unfortunately he never got to meet him, that would have created to much problems for both of them at that time. He had several medical problems, Glaucoma, (Insomnia) sleeping problems, irritable bowel syndrome, things that affected his real life and made him need medication to function. Yes, he took medicines that today are considered to be called drugs, but at that time doctors prescribed it to him and to ordinary people, they did not know of the problems it could give people (side effects). He never took any so-called street drugs, but unfortunately he did not realize that those medications would be a problem for him, he thought that they where ordinary medicine because his doctor prescribed them to him and to everyone else that needed it. Many out of his relatives died at a relatively young age, so even if he wouldn't have the medication, he might have died at about the same age. He could never be alone and thus himself, at that time the word superstar did not exist, so nothing could prepare him for that kind of life. Did you know that a big group of white people actually smashed his records and wanted to ban his music, just because they called the music he did so called N... music, that is so painful to think that some people actually can think like that, skin color is just color and nothing more, when will people start to realize that? There are some videos of when Elvis joking and messing up, he loved to joke around and pretend that he did not have control, but he had total control, he actually conducted his musicians and back up choirs all the time ! He is the only person to have 60 records gone to sell Gold since he died. Elvis is also in almost every genre of Music Hall of Fame (5 that I'm sure of Rock 'n' Roll, Country, Gospel, Rockabilly and Rhythm and Blues), if Gospel is a genre in Music Hall of fame, then he should be in there to, but no one else is in more then perhaps 2 genres. Not bad for someone who failed in his music class (in school, he got a F), he also never took a single singing lesson, yes he sang in church so perhaps he learned a little there, right? Something else that people tend to overlook: He always conducts his musicians and backup singers, he never gets credit for being able to doing that. Imagen you are a singer, you have great Musicians, you have great backup singers, no Guest Artists, no Auto tune, no Lip singing and no Fireworks, now all is about your skill, could you handle that pressure? At the time when Elvis started to perform, Auto tune did not exist yet and when it became available, then he still did not use it, he did not need to, he always sang so that you could hear every word that he sang, the Fans always felt that he sang to just you ! That is what Elvis did in over 1600 concerts (during his 20 years as an artist), despite having problems with his health, like his Glaucoma, the headlights must have hurt his eyes like crazy. He sang over 800 songs, I wonder how he could remember them all, he never wrote a song himself, so he had to remember other peoples lyrics, well that is amazing in it self. The fact that he had Glaucoma must have been difficult being in the headlights all the time, that could be why he sometimes closes his eyes, but also sometimes squinting! This unfortunately made him temporary blind after the shows, that is why they led him of the stage and into his car, that is something that not many people knew about Elvis. Elvis suits was made of 100% Polyester, or 100 cotton (I'm not sure witch one), it was originally a karate suit, it was very light, but it was hot, so it made him sweat a lot, he got some bad press about that, but if you give it all then you will sweat, it should be positive, right? A important fact about Elvis success is his guitarist James Burton's sound, it was a big fact that made him sound different, naturally his voice is the main factor for his success to, I think both things played a crucial role in his success... About the deep base voiced JD Sumner (a member of The Stamps Quartet) he is a Basso Profundo, I think it's called that, it is the deepest base singer there is. A video about him helping others, look at this: th-cam.com/video/CrJ1c9tm-C0/w-d-xo.html Elvis made a show where all the money went to build the Memorial after Pearl Harbor, he talked to the nations about taking the Polio vaccine, Elvis took the first injection himself, he helped by donating a big amount of money to St Jude hospital, they fight against cancer (especially children with), he gave away loads of jewelry, gave away cars, he even gave away some houses to total strangers. Elvis started an organization that helps people to get out of Homelessness (Presley Charitable Foundation), this organization helps people even now close to 50 years after he passed away. A thing that you perhaps did not know: Elvis ALMOST NEVER did a show OUTSIDE OF USA, yes he did sing a few times in Canada: 4 concerts, 2 times in Toronto, 1 time in Ottawa and 1 time in Vancouver (during the 50:s?). When the Aloha From Hawaii (Live in Honolulu 1973) was showed it had close to 1.5 Billion viewers from around the whole world and 3.7 billion people lived on earth at this time, so it was close to 1/3 of all of the population on the earth that viewed the show, it was the first time a single artist was shown LIVE around the globe. Video of Mohammad Ali speech after Elvis died: th-cam.com/video/PO8Kq_3KTyI/w-d-xo.html I have to say that I loved being at Graceland and seeing his home, first we were at the shotgun house in Tupelo Mississippi where he lived in his early years, he was born there ! You don't have a guide taking you on a tour, you can go all over yourself, but stay outside of the ropes and do not attempt to go upstairs, the outside is huge, so is the house, but you don't realize that from the front of the house. I don't regret for a second that I was there, or that I stood at his grave site and said out loud that this is for the humanitarian Elvis/the person/the man and then I gave him a military salute, the others there just looked at me and asked if I didn't like his music. So I told them that he was clearly one of the best singers and artists ever, but I loved his big heart more, he helped so many people without getting credit for it, he didn't want the credit of helping others, he did it out of love and respect and to me that is what true charity is all about. This PLACE (GRACELAND) should be a protected part of music history and also American history forever, I think that people will keep coming for years and years and years to come ! Elvis did lots of things for America to, he helped in a big way to avoid getting Polio (he took the vaccine in a TV show and that made the interest for taking the vaccine to go up from 0,6 % all the way up to 80 % in 6 months), so in 6 months he got 79.4 % more of the American people take the Polio vaccine and shortly after it was eradicated from USA, he also helped in the fight to defeat Cancer by helping to build up St Jude's children cancer treatment clinic by donating a huge amount of money to them, he also helped to build the Memorial over Pearl Harbor and many other things!
Very warm, heavy jumpsuit, super hot house lights, super hot stage lights -- you would perspire too. Know 2 things about Elvis: (1) he had the genetic condition A-1 antitrypsin which causes COPD/emphysema which began many yrs. earlier & at some point needed the use of an inhaler to help him breath so it's some sort of miracle that he was able to belt out those powerful songs night after night, yr. after ur. (2) he had painful glaucoma & those super bright lights were very hard on his eyes. He didn't need to wipe the perspiration away (altho' we see him occasionally use a scarf, a towel or a napkin handed to him from an audience member) -- it was all part of him & what he went through to give his all for all of us. Regarding his movements in Hawaii, it is said that he was told to tone it down because some of the countries it was going to would not appreciate his movements. In order to see more movement, watch "Suspicious Minds" Vegas 1970 at th-cam.com/video/T1g5tVGZhfk/w-d-xo.html -- if you won't play it because i'm unable to donate, that's too bad. Btw, his movements were actually movements to the music & not literally dancing. Or watch "Jailhouse Rock" from his '68 special stand-up segment in black leather at th-cam.com/video/87N6Qa0D7KY/w-d-xo.html -- a rousing, powerful performance. But you sound very "so-so" about him -- not very impressed?
This is indeed an emotional performance. He's in Hawaii and wearing a 70 pound jumpsuit. You guys want to check out Elvis's performances kicked up a notch? I'd say react to anything from 1968 or 1970. Start with the Vegas 1970 version of "Suspicious Minds". It's much more lighthearted and he's very active, physically.
Yes concert at aloha from Hawaii was the very first live broadcast by satellite over 1.4 billion people watched it yes billion the concert with a benefit concert for kleree cancer drive that that raised$75,000 it's blatantly clear that y'all don't know nothing about Elvis and please if you do not like his music please don't react to him if you only knew what the man did for not only music but his humanitarian efforts charities and just he'll overall generosity is unmatched to any celebrity are any high-profile figures
Never saw such stoic faces watching a legend. His voice was tremendous. He closed the show with this song, so maybe he didn't bother to stop and wipe his face.
His voice mind you so pure and unique. The song was a tribute to the battle hymn of the republic him being from the deep south the civil war and dixieland. I recommend "If I can dream" the assassination of MLK and RFK during the civil rights era deeply saddened him because he was for equal rights for all human beings and he was a deeply religious which his roots in music started from sneaking into the black churches and black owned clubs in the south thus propelled him the beginning of his rockabilly gospel and blues later rock n roll
Need to see live performance in Hawai,,and His whole 68 comeback special,,His Voice,,looks,,,charisma,,and everything about Him is the best there ever was.Hes in 5 Hall Of Fames.Wow I geuss U dont hear and see all We do.No one could come close to Him and sold over a million records and the closest to Him was Michael Jackson at 750 thousand and no one will ever come close.U cant take Your eyes off Him for 1 second.Watch love me tender in Vegas live,,No one could be Him or close.His dancing compared to Dwite yokum is not close.He invented swag and dance moves wow U really have no clue but Her Mom does.He does little things and changes the lyrics to be funny and no one picks up on it.He moved His lip because They made Him do that in some movies so He did it in His concerts fooling around.He did it biggeer and better and before anyone and changed music forever.What Musician do U know that ppl are still listening to Him 46 yrs after there death.Hes not only the King of Rock And Roll but Hes the King of Music period.Todays music is a joke.No auto tune back then thats His raw voice and talent and only musician to have albums and songs in all 5 genresi.U need to Watch the whole 68 comeback special.Your more into the instruments than His voice.How can U SAY His voice is ok...Whatttttttttttttttttttttttt U must have been born in the 90s where there is no talent or singing like this.All auto tune now but not then and He could make His voice do anything and did copys of a lot of PPLS songs and changed it up and it always better than the original that sang it.If U don't think Elvis is the best talent U ever seen then maybe U should not do Elvis reactions because every time I watch U both U kinda down Him and talk about sweat instead of His talented vouce.He don't just sing.The Guy would put on 2 hour shows and go nonstop.Always dancing nonstop.Watch suspicious minds from Vegas 1970.Who puts on shows,,sings while dancing for 2 hours..No one,,,and in 1977 6 weeks before He died He did a ton of concerts and the one 6 weeks before He died He was a very sick Man but U would not know it by that voice which He never lost and got stronger with age right up to His 1977 last concert.If He screws up or the band He don't stop the concert and freak out like most musicians would do.He makes it part of His concert and the band was always taught to keep playing no matter what.Check out ONE NIGHT WITH YOU 68 comeback special where His guitar comes unplugged,,He did not freak out and sang somebody pulled the plug and then kept singing and He got plugged in and says We gotta do it again to the band.One of a kind and sounds Bette live because that was the best voice and He didn't have auto tune every live performance is His voice and didn't lip sinc,,either.U need to Watch all His live videos but I get the feeling u will never give Him a chance.I can't believe U thought an American Trilogy was good and His voice ok.When I heard that I was speechless.That was History in the making and basically everything He did was History never to be copied.His leg moves even if He's singing a sad song.When U said I'm not sure if He dances alot Whatttt that's all He did and everyone copied His moves and singing and dancing.Granted U never seen many live performances but I just have a feeling U will never give Him credit..He sang over 700 songs and not 1 bad one My opinion but When U both watched Polk Salad Annie He was funny but U missed 3 things He did because U were talking about the base player.He wasn't a stand still musician He put His heart into every performance and In Love Me Tender 1970 Vegas He was a riot and while singing Kissed 12 Girls along the front row and then jumped down into the audience to show His appreciation to His Fans Kissing over 20 Woman and shaking hands with Guys and pretends He's gonna kiss one of the Guys and the band played on and then He came back on stage,,Kissed some more as He finished song.U cannot take Your eyes off Him because He does things like the lip or reading a note in His Jumpsuit but U missed that and He was smooth and the stage was part of Him He only fealt alive on that stage.He also kissed and shook hands not only because They were His Fans but also because ppl could not afford the front row seats so He jumped down there to make sure Everyone had a chance.His Jewler use to ask Him to bring His suitcase full of rings and would hand out 30 thousand dollar rings and bought over 200 caddillacs for people He knew and didn't know and bought cars ,,jewlery,,houses U name it and that's Whitney Houston's Mom on stage with there group the Sweet Inspirations.He didn't care about color and all this CRAP He was racust They told Him in Texas to leave His black singers home.He would not play a concert u bless They were with Him.A Singer back then started a racist thing about Elvis because the Singer was so mad and jealous of Elvis and knocked that singer off the charts so that was a rumour.Watch Elvis and The Black Community He wanted the Sweet Inspirations for all His Concerts.Well hopefully U give the King a chance and pay attention or U will miss something.I was gonna keep quiet but then when U listened to American Triliogy and said He was OK I had to tell U what Your missing
This concert was seen live by over 1 billion people around the world….the 1st ever live satellite concert….1973….the rehearsal show was also filmed incase the satellite went down…all proceeds to charity…
As for dancing, there is a video called ( I Got a Feeling in My Body), which compares Michael Jackson’s and Elvis moves. I’m sure fans will suggest numerous Elvis songs in which he danced. You both are such newcomers to Elvis and his singing, dancing and acting talent. Your grandma isn’t weird, just check out some of Elvis 1956 TV appearances on Ed Sullivan to hear the females in the audience scream over 21 yr old Elvis.
If you want to see a song where Elvis is dancing, try 'Polk Salad Annie' or 'Suspicious Minds', both live from 1970, or even 'Patch It Up'. Other great performances would be anything from the 68 Comeback Special or his early tv performances from 1956 ('Hound Dog' on Milton Berle, 'Heartbreak Hotel' on the Dorsey Brothers Stage Show, or 'Don't Be Cruel' and 'Ready Teddy' from Ed Sullivan). You'll see why grandma got all hot and bothered 😂
He did many songs before that song. This was the beginning of his illnesses. He sweats because he put all his heart and soul in this song . This song meant the freedom of slaves. Black people . The year is.. 1865. He salutes their freedom!! How could u 2 not realize, he was. honoring black slaves freedom! He was into freeing blacks
2:53 Sure would be nice to see what you guys were saying but it's just a still image. But at any rate yeah that's the incredible JD Souther on bass vocal.
yes unfortunately my video got blocked when it included his live performance video so i had to block it out with a still photo in order for it to upload and be seen.
@@JustinPanariello I know that it is a nightmare fighting with TH-cam over copyright but the thing is I've seen this reacted to so many many times and it just shows the normal video with no problem so I don't know what the deal is.
Mixed reaction, no video is strange while the beautiful lady rescued the situation from a guy not that convinced or IMHO ever will be re Elvis - which I don't have a problem with. You say he didn't do much or move what, can you imagine many performers singing as gently and then as powerfully as that live to the world with no auto tune. Try Polk Salad Annie live Vegas 1970, and if you are not impressed with that call it a day on the guy.
Yeah, I really didn't get the overly immediate dismissive reaction. This guy is a legend for a reason. Not to mention that he did all his own arranging and wrangled these massive bands and choirs and yet they were still tight and had fun and did intense rehearsals to work this stuff out and get it ready.
@@gorse9030 He actually just passed it to a lady in the front row .... Elvis gave the original belt meant to be used to Jack Lord, the actor from the original " Hawaii 5-0 " TV show, a few days before the broadcast, causing chaos as a new belt had to be flown in ...
@@rawschri Fair enough he passed it as opposed to threw it, but my point was it was not his cape. Shame as is it looks quite dramatic on my DVD's but never gets shown on these videos.
we were watching the live video. my video got blocked when I uploaded it and it included his live performance video so I put a still photo on top of his video to block it and the copyright gods were fine with it.... unfortunately sometimes thats what happens. We mentioned him sweating like crazy lol we saw that.
It would've been MUCH better for y'all and your viewers if you had shown the actual live performance instead of just a photo. It's phenomenal with his stage presence, body language, etc. And don't say it's copyright issues because 100% of the reactors I've watched doing this performance have always done the live video. I've never seen just a still photo with just the audio. Moving on.
when I uploaded it with the video TH-cam blocked my video Worldwide soooo in order for me to put it up at all I had to get rid of his video and put a still up. unfortunately. Theres no standard for why it happens which is frustrating. Some people get through others don't. You don't see the ones that don't get through...unless they do what I did.
Loved Elvis even though could not see him live. Greatest ever was or will be. Did not do thumbs up because did not like the reaction. Without Elvis would not have been a band. Over a billion people watched the Hawaiian concert. Noone else will ever beat that.
don't forget about those super hot house & stage lights beaming all around him & hurting his eyes only to make his glaucoma a bit worse, but he never stopped
This was the first broadcast over the whole world, he was the first single artist to do this and they had 1.5 BILLION viewers and at the time there was 3.7 BILLION people on earth. The Basso Profundo is J.D Sumneer, he can go really low....
Everyone else is STILL CHASING THE KING OF ENTERTAINMNT!!! He has been in the Guinness Book Of World Records 15 different times. J.D. Sumner his bass singer is in there for the lowest bass voice ever recorded!!!!
The Hawaii concert was definitely iconic. It was '70s Elvis at his prime. I always found "American Trilogy" to be very disjointed. As Justin said, Elvis had his parts, but it was more about the orchestra and the singers. There are definitely other songs in the set that showcase Elvis.
I'm a musician, not specifically a singer. In this performance, I found the orchestra more interesting than his vocals. Also Elvis and Madonna are both entertainers. Good job....
In Elvis's time there was no auto tune. Natural god given talent, he had everything the voice, looks, charisma. No one has ever replaced him or ever will. i subbed thank you
Elvis holds the Guinness Book Of Records for most records sold worldwide, by a soloist or group, at 1.5+ billion! He is also the most significant cultural icon of the 20th century. He towers over everyone else, an unrivaled legend!
My father loved Elvis. Never gave him a chance. Not until last year when my son was playing in the pit band for the schools production of All Shook Up. 170 pages of Elvis music he had to learn. I found the show fun but really enjoyed the music.
After than I watched the Elvis movie and ever since I’ve watched a million videos of him live. He was one hell of a singer, entertainer and I have a whole new respect and understanding as to why people loved him.
Elvis also gave $75,000 from this concert to Cancer research. It was viewed by over 1 billion people simultaneously.
Over a billion people watched this show and the first the only via Satellite ever as no one else can pull this off but Elvis. The concert was for charity of an Hawaiian songwriter who passed and all of the money went to the charity.
Goosebumps Elvis voice amazing
You guys didn’t even mention how great his vocals are.
Yeah, it said it was the band. A lot of men were jealous of Elvis
@@MaryJones-vo5nz they weren’t impressed with him one bit. How could they not noice how great Elvis was.
@@golddredgewater , that's one reason I'm moving on from here, besides the fact that they showed a photo instead of the actual live performance! How they got to almost 17K subscribers is beyond my understanding.
@@golddredgewater Completely clueless 🥴
That's where the $20 minimum contribution comes into play
This performance was beamed live via satellite around the world from Hawaii. 1.2 billion people watched live. What entertainer could pull that off. The man had it all..handsome, tall , fantastic voice, generous to the poor.. There was a reason he was called The King. Men wanted to be like him & women wanted him. No one could sell out concerts like Elvis.
Elvis truly was THE KING!!!!! The GREATEST of ALL TIME!!!! Extremely powerful.
This was the first Worldwide satellite TV event that was viewed all over the world by 1.5 Billion people.
As mentioned, it was a live concert going out around the world. He did not move as much in this concert because he had to get it right. He had moved a bunch in earlier concerts and would have a mishap or 2 such as splitting his pants and having his hair all over the place. He did not want to have any issues that would not be easily forgotten such as him falling or tripping. This was going out to the world and had to show him as an ivory tower. He looked clean from the beginning to the end and his image was great.
Elvis was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, in a 2 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory.
Elvis always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather, Jesse Dunning Presley, was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. J.D. Presley was quite the racist a-hole, often drunk and a philandering husband to Minnie Mae (they were actually separated long before they finally divorced in 1954) who was always competing with his sons Vester and Vernon and who was known to abuse his kids when drunk. J.D. was was publicly against race mixing and was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. It was more publicly known that the Smith family had Native blood in their family tree, so when both his sons fell for 2 Smith sisters and Vernon, on top of that, was still a minor at 17 when he eloped with Gladys who was 4 years older than him, Jesse was totally pissed off.
As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis (th-cam.com/video/LrFCyNMvZWk/w-d-xo.html). One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.
Very well said.
All 100% fact it is great to see another true Elvis fan
This song is a medley of 3 patriotic American songs: Dixie (confederacy song); All My Trials (African American Spiritual); and Battle Hymn of the Republic (Union song). Elvis sings The American Trilogy from deep in his heart and soul, which is why it is loved not just in America but internationally as well.
Got to see him in person to truly appreciate the performance. Thanks for your reaction. See his 68 special "Trying to Get to You". " If I Can Dream" !earn the history you no nothing about him.
Legend
Best voice ever
1970 Vegas "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "What Now My Love"from this concert in Hawaii. Voice in these 2 songs unmatched.
I subscribed hoping to hear more Elvis reactions. There is so much there. And it's interesting that she was saying she needs to see him dancing but that's real difficult because he dance differently in every performance but not only that, it varied so much throughout his career. Even though it was cut short, there is a huge difference between Elvis at 20 years old in the mid-1950s and Elvis here in his 30s in Hawaii. It's just so different.
Check out any of the early black-and-white television performances from 1956 but particularly 1956 to Milton Berle show doing hound-dog which is what set off the racist firestorm in. Him being filmed from the waist up for a while after that, at least when they thought he was going to do anything too over-the-top for the time, which is obviously nothing by today's standards. But his performances at that 1970 Vegas show that got filmed are just phenomenal although again it's decades later. Check out Suspicious Minds from that show. But you should also check out the finale to his 1968 Comeback Special he was absolutely incredible beyond belief. They wanted him to do a classic Christmas song at the end of the show and he insisted on doing something socially relevant and also in reaction to the very recent Martin Luther King assassination which totally emotionally devastated him. So one of his producers who was also a songwriter wrote at song, If I Can Dream, for him and it is largely regarded as one of the greatest performances. It was the end of the show and he is in a white suit and a red tie and you will be blown away. And for God's sake, don't miss the massive mic drop moment at the end like 25% of reactors do when they do it. And then apparently after that he went backstage and curled up in a ball and cry for hours. It is an emotionally draining performance and it is stunning and also wonderful that he used his platform at the time, against strong bitterness from his manager and other producers that they thought it was just too crazy of a thing to do and then it could ruin his career. Colonel Tom Parker infamously said, this is not the kind of music that Elvis should be doing.
This song was a somber song and it is called a Trilogy because it is three things, at first or traditional Song of the South during the 1800s, and then the song of the North during the 1800s and then a Caribbean slave lullaby which also got picked up both and slavery settings here as well as in the mid-1900s by the folk movement as part of social justice activity. It's a tremendous idea and it's so well done and as usual, he shines the spotlight on his backup band and singers as much as he can.
Thank you for this one!
He could make you laugh and sometimes cry.
He was sweating because humans sweat in the heat☺️ and his suit was heavy.
Later on he had many scarves to wipe away his sweat. Once in a while he gave them to his audience.
He will always be the KING!!!
“Elvis didn’t do much. It’s more of the band.” Guys, Elvis was the one who produced, arranged, and directed the band.
Elvis had a fantastic band, because he's Elvis. He wasn't going to settle for anything less. That's how he heard music, with all of that orchestration and to fill up the sound in big arenas.
I was at this Aloha concert 1973 n sat 3rd row center n couldn't take my eyes off of him. I even jumped up on my seat n thru him a kiss.n I was 21Yes im old now but Elvis music keeps me young I'm alot like your grandmother going crazy about him. .Remember No AUTOTUNE. 1.5 Billion records n is selling more today. We are only seeing a picture of Elvis not the video of the live concert ( copy right ?) Steamroller Blues Aloha concert. Elvis always sweats alot, This was seen by over 1.5 Billion people. Not only was he a great entertainer he gave most of his millions to charities, helped pay for the Pearl Harbor memorial, gave money, Jewelry, Motorcycles, Houses, Trips, paid medical for people who couldn't pay for medical treatment, had his driver stop at the side of rode n gave homeless person $5,000 to start his life over, Gave alot to handicap children, I could go on n on with things he did for the world. If he was living today he would be a multimillionaire+ I never met E but became friends with Charlie Hodge his confidant and best friend for years after Elvis died I kept a journal on the stories that hetold me. If you wanted to see his moves watch Suspicious Minds Vagus 1970.i want to know if your grandmother saw his Vagus concert 1970 when he sang Love Me Tender. Yes all the entertainers would copy Elvis moves. Tom Jones became a good friend n did you know E. daughter Lisa Marie married MJ, I better stop writing a journal about him. Keep the videos coming. I love your reaction bye for now
He. Is. Very. Negertive. Not. Fans. But. I dont. Care. Always. No 1 forevever.
Tom came in after Elvis. Elvis started it. I'm hooked. So good looking & a voiceike no other.
This is a reality check. People who have no clue who or what Elvis is and think it was about his band. Love it.
...ok...he recorded over 700 songs(he is in 5 Halls of Fame: country, gospel, rock-a-billy, rhythm&blues, rock n roll)... watch live from his 68' comeback special(black leather outfit)...or, live 1970 Las Vegas : suspicious minds or, maybe polk salad annie....good luck!
💯
This was was sung at many late 70 elvis concerts . If you want dancing elvis then it must be las vegas 1970 suspicious minds , patch it up polk salad Annie.
If you to hear elvis vocal ability in the 70s , what now my love or bridge over troubled water 1970 white suit version .
Now to see what your grandma is speaking about it must be Hound Dog from the Milton berle show original audio .
Sweating on stage was in vogue during the 1960's and early 1970's ... meant that they were putting everything into the show ! Johnny Cash used to down two beers quickly followed by salt tablets to ensure he sweated ... look at period footage of James Brown, Tom Jones, Jackie Wilson, Little Richard etc ...
Also this was Hawaii at 1.30am in the morning, wearing a 70lb jumpsuit under the strong stage lights needed for the TV broadcast ...
this song is amazing, his voice,
1935 on January 8 a huge star was born, but sadly in 1977 on august 16 we lost a great musician, a amazing singer, but we also lost a amazing humanitarian that helped so many people that he did not even know.
Today over 46 years after his death, people are still calling Elvis the King of Rock'n'Roll (he said that Chubby Checker was the one that should be called King of Rock'n roll, if any human should), Elvis didn't like that title and he believed that the only King was God and he actually told this to his fans several times, he said:
I believe that God is the only true king, sometimes he added Jesus Christ.
I think that Elvis is a MASTER not only of king of Rock'n roll, he is A MASTER of many genres of music because he can sing very well in any genre, but what do you think, is he good enough to be called a music king?
Elvis was really in my mind, a MASTER of GOSPEL and other music, no one does it better then him, he is best known for making Rock'n roll famous, so he was called The King of Rock'n roll, but he never liked that people called him that, he repeatedly stopped fans who said that he was the king of rock'n roll, telling them:
I'm just an entertainer and singer, God is the only true King (sometimes he also said Jesus Christ is the only King)...
He also never liked the "so called joke" Elvis the Pelvis, he loved Jokes, but that was for him very hurtful to hear people say, or write that.
Did you know that Elvis was a Sandy Blonde with Blue Eyes...
Elvis was born in the poor part of Tupelo Mississippi (in a shotgun house) and it was mainly Afro Americans living there, at the place where Elvis family lived there only lived 3 more white families, the rest was colored people, his family was dirt poor until he became an artist after singing in a mainly colored peoples church during his childhood.
Did you know that he had several friends that where Afro Americans, one of his friends where James Brown, yes THAT James Brown (The King of Soul), another artist was B.B King, yes that B.B King...
He also was a good friend with Mohamed Ali, yes the GREATEST boxer of all time, he even had a Robe made for him, but it was to much bling on it so Ali wouldn't where it more then one time to a fight.
Elvis really admired Martin Luther King very much, Elvis felt that all people are equal, unfortunately he never got to meet him, that would have created to much problems for both of them at that time.
He had several medical problems, Glaucoma, (Insomnia) sleeping problems, irritable bowel syndrome, things that affected his real life and made him need medication to function.
Yes, he took medicines that today are considered to be called drugs, but at that time doctors prescribed it to him and to ordinary people, they did not know of the problems it could give people (side effects).
He never took any so-called street drugs, but unfortunately he did not realize that those medications would be a problem for him, he thought that they where ordinary medicine because his doctor prescribed them to him and to everyone else that needed it.
Many out of his relatives died at a relatively young age, so even if he wouldn't have the medication, he might have died at about the same age.
He could never be alone and thus himself, at that time the word superstar did not exist, so nothing could prepare him for that kind of life.
Did you know that a big group of white people actually smashed his records and wanted to ban his music, just because they called the music he did so called N... music, that is so painful to think that some people actually can think like that, skin color is just color and nothing more, when will people start to realize that?
There are some videos of when Elvis joking and messing up, he loved to joke around and pretend that he did not have control, but he had total control, he actually conducted his musicians and back up choirs all the time !
He is the only person to have 60 records gone to sell Gold since he died.
Elvis is also in almost every genre of Music Hall of Fame (5 that I'm sure of Rock 'n' Roll, Country, Gospel, Rockabilly and Rhythm and Blues), if Gospel is a genre in Music Hall of fame, then he should be in there to, but no one else is in more then perhaps 2 genres.
Not bad for someone who failed in his music class (in school, he got a F), he also never took a single singing lesson, yes he sang in church so perhaps he learned a little there, right?
Something else that people tend to overlook:
He always conducts his musicians and backup singers, he never gets credit for being able to doing that.
Imagen you are a singer, you have great Musicians, you have great backup singers, no Guest Artists, no Auto tune, no Lip singing and no Fireworks, now all is about your skill, could you handle that pressure?
At the time when Elvis started to perform, Auto tune did not exist yet and when it became available, then he still did not use it, he did not need to, he always sang so that you could hear every word that he sang, the Fans always felt that he sang to just you !
That is what Elvis did in over 1600 concerts (during his 20 years as an artist), despite having problems with his health, like his Glaucoma, the headlights must have hurt his eyes like crazy.
He sang over 800 songs, I wonder how he could remember them all, he never wrote a song himself, so he had to remember other peoples lyrics, well that is amazing in it self.
The fact that he had Glaucoma must have been difficult being in the headlights all the time, that could be why he sometimes closes his eyes, but also sometimes squinting!
This unfortunately made him temporary blind after the shows, that is why they led him of the stage and into his car, that is something that not many people knew about Elvis.
Elvis suits was made of 100% Polyester, or 100 cotton (I'm not sure witch one), it was originally a karate suit, it was very light, but it was hot, so it made him sweat a lot, he got some bad press about that, but if you give it all then you will sweat, it should be positive, right?
A important fact about Elvis success is his guitarist James Burton's sound, it was a big fact that made him sound different, naturally his voice is the main factor for his success to, I think both things played a crucial role in his success...
About the deep base voiced JD Sumner (a member of The Stamps Quartet) he is a Basso Profundo, I think it's called that, it is the deepest base singer there is.
A video about him helping others, look at this: th-cam.com/video/CrJ1c9tm-C0/w-d-xo.html
Elvis made a show where all the money went to build the Memorial after Pearl Harbor, he talked to the nations about taking the Polio vaccine, Elvis took the first injection himself, he helped by donating a big amount of money to St Jude hospital, they fight against cancer (especially children with), he gave away loads of jewelry, gave away cars, he even gave away some houses to total strangers.
Elvis started an organization that helps people to get out of Homelessness (Presley Charitable Foundation), this organization helps people even now close to 50 years after he passed away.
A thing that you perhaps did not know: Elvis ALMOST NEVER did a show OUTSIDE OF USA, yes he did sing a few times in Canada: 4 concerts, 2 times in Toronto, 1 time in Ottawa and 1 time in Vancouver (during the 50:s?).
When the Aloha From Hawaii (Live in Honolulu 1973) was showed it had close to 1.5 Billion viewers from around the whole world and 3.7 billion people lived on earth at this time, so it was close to 1/3 of all of the population on the earth that viewed the show, it was the first time a single artist was shown LIVE around the globe.
Video of Mohammad Ali speech after Elvis died:
th-cam.com/video/PO8Kq_3KTyI/w-d-xo.html
I have to say that I loved being at Graceland and seeing his home, first we were at the shotgun house in Tupelo Mississippi where he lived in his early years, he was born there !
You don't have a guide taking you on a tour, you can go all over yourself, but stay outside of the ropes and do not attempt to go upstairs, the outside is huge, so is the house, but you don't realize that from the front of the house.
I don't regret for a second that I was there, or that I stood at his grave site and said out loud that this is for the humanitarian Elvis/the person/the man and then I gave him a military salute, the others there just looked at me and asked if I didn't like his music.
So I told them that he was clearly one of the best singers and artists ever, but I loved his big heart more, he helped so many people without getting credit for it, he didn't want the credit of helping others, he did it out of love and respect and to me that is what true charity is all about.
This PLACE (GRACELAND) should be a protected part of music history and also American history forever, I think that people will keep coming for years and years and years to come !
Elvis did lots of things for America to, he helped in a big way to avoid getting Polio (he took the vaccine in a TV show and that made the interest for taking the vaccine to go up from 0,6 % all the way up to 80 % in 6 months), so in 6 months he got 79.4 % more of the American people take the Polio vaccine and shortly after it was eradicated from USA, he also helped in the fight to defeat Cancer by helping to build up St Jude's children cancer treatment clinic by donating a huge amount of money to them, he also helped to build the Memorial over Pearl Harbor and many other things!
the most beautiful voice ever
Very warm, heavy jumpsuit, super hot house lights, super hot stage lights -- you would perspire too. Know 2 things about Elvis: (1) he had the genetic condition A-1 antitrypsin which causes COPD/emphysema which began many yrs. earlier & at some point needed the use of an inhaler to help him breath so it's some sort of miracle that he was able to belt out those powerful songs night after night, yr. after ur. (2) he had painful glaucoma & those super bright lights were very hard on his eyes. He didn't need to wipe the perspiration away (altho' we see him occasionally use a scarf, a towel or a napkin handed to him from an audience member) -- it was all part of him & what he went through to give his all for all of us. Regarding his movements in Hawaii, it is said that he was told to tone it down because some of the countries it was going to would not appreciate his movements. In order to see more movement, watch "Suspicious Minds" Vegas 1970 at th-cam.com/video/T1g5tVGZhfk/w-d-xo.html -- if you won't play it because i'm unable to donate, that's too bad. Btw, his movements were actually movements to the music & not literally dancing. Or watch "Jailhouse Rock" from his '68 special stand-up segment in black leather at th-cam.com/video/87N6Qa0D7KY/w-d-xo.html -- a rousing, powerful performance. But you sound very "so-so" about him -- not very impressed?
For this song you need to show the actual live performance. Was a little (alot) bummed when you didn't do it.
we watched the live video but i couldn't show it because of copyright, it was blocked.
He was sweating because they were in an amphitheater in Honolulu freaking Hawaii
plus super hot house lights & stage lights + very warm jumpsuit of wool gabardine
@@carolhayar3037 yes He was always soaked in sweat, hair all disheveled from dancing
This is indeed an emotional performance. He's in Hawaii and wearing a 70 pound jumpsuit. You guys want to check out Elvis's performances kicked up a notch? I'd say react to anything from 1968 or 1970. Start with the Vegas 1970 version of "Suspicious Minds". It's much more lighthearted and he's very active, physically.
Dancing that her grandma is talking about? Check out *Suspicious Minds* and *Polk Salad Annie* live in Vegas 1970.
Yes concert at aloha from Hawaii was the very first live broadcast by satellite over 1.4 billion people watched it yes billion the concert with a benefit concert for kleree cancer drive that that raised$75,000 it's blatantly clear that y'all don't know nothing about Elvis and please if you do not like his music please don't react to him if you only knew what the man did for not only music but his humanitarian efforts charities and just he'll overall generosity is unmatched to any celebrity are any high-profile figures
Elvis’s backup singers were phenomenal. He wasn’t so bad either. 👍🏻
@@joesmith6524 Having trouble with understated irony of that statement, Joe? 😂
Powerful all around performance.
Great great i love your reaction lovely❤❤❤
2 things elvis is the goat and our 1 and only king no more to say
Y'all need to watch the live version of all the orchestra
Never saw such stoic faces watching a legend. His voice was tremendous. He closed the show with this song, so maybe he didn't bother to stop and wipe his face.
His voice mind you so pure and unique. The song was a tribute to the battle hymn of the republic him being from the deep south the civil war and dixieland.
I recommend "If I can dream" the assassination of MLK and RFK during the civil rights era deeply saddened him because he was for equal rights for all human beings and he was a deeply religious which his roots in music started from sneaking into the black churches and black owned clubs in the south thus propelled him the beginning of his rockabilly gospel and blues later rock n roll
Great song but u need to put the video up so we can see it too 😢
Need to see live performance in Hawai,,and His whole 68 comeback special,,His Voice,,looks,,,charisma,,and everything about Him is the best there ever was.Hes in 5 Hall Of Fames.Wow I geuss U dont hear and see all We do.No one could come close to Him and sold over a million records and the closest to Him was Michael Jackson at 750 thousand and no one will ever come close.U cant take Your eyes off Him for 1 second.Watch love me tender in Vegas live,,No one could be Him or close.His dancing compared to Dwite yokum is not close.He invented swag and dance moves wow U really have no clue but Her Mom does.He does little things and changes the lyrics to be funny and no one picks up on it.He moved His lip because They made Him do that in some movies so He did it in His concerts fooling around.He did it biggeer and better and before anyone and changed music forever.What Musician do U know that ppl are still listening to Him 46 yrs after there death.Hes not only the King of Rock And Roll but Hes the King of Music period.Todays music is a joke.No auto tune back then thats His raw voice and talent and only musician to have albums and songs in all 5 genresi.U need to Watch the whole 68 comeback special.Your more into the instruments than His voice.How can U SAY His voice is ok...Whatttttttttttttttttttttttt U must have been born in the 90s where there is no talent or singing like this.All auto tune now but not then and He could make His voice do anything and did copys of a lot of PPLS songs and changed it up and it always better than the original that sang it.If U don't think Elvis is the best talent U ever seen then maybe U should not do Elvis reactions because every time I watch U both U kinda down Him and talk about sweat instead of His talented vouce.He don't just sing.The Guy would put on 2 hour shows and go nonstop.Always dancing nonstop.Watch suspicious minds from Vegas 1970.Who puts on shows,,sings while dancing for 2 hours..No one,,,and in 1977 6 weeks before He died He did a ton of concerts and the one 6 weeks before He died He was a very sick Man but U would not know it by that voice which He never lost and got stronger with age right up to His 1977 last concert.If He screws up or the band He don't stop the concert and freak out like most musicians would do.He makes it part of His concert and the band was always taught to keep playing no matter what.Check out ONE NIGHT WITH YOU 68 comeback special where His guitar comes unplugged,,He did not freak out and sang somebody pulled the plug and then kept singing and He got plugged in and says We gotta do it again to the band.One of a kind and sounds Bette live because that was the best voice and He didn't have auto tune every live performance is His voice and didn't lip sinc,,either.U need to Watch all His live videos but I get the feeling u will never give Him a chance.I can't believe U thought an American Trilogy was good and His voice ok.When I heard that I was speechless.That was History in the making and basically everything He did was History never to be copied.His leg moves even if He's singing a sad song.When U said I'm not sure if He dances alot Whatttt that's all He did and everyone copied His moves and singing and dancing.Granted U never seen many live performances but I just have a feeling U will never give Him credit..He sang over 700 songs and not 1 bad one My opinion but When U both watched Polk Salad Annie He was funny but U missed 3 things He did because U were talking about the base player.He wasn't a stand still musician He put His heart into every performance and In Love Me Tender 1970 Vegas He was a riot and while singing Kissed 12 Girls along the front row and then jumped down into the audience to show His appreciation to His Fans Kissing over 20 Woman and shaking hands with Guys and pretends He's gonna kiss one of the Guys and the band played on and then He came back on stage,,Kissed some more as He finished song.U cannot take Your eyes off Him because He does things like the lip or reading a note in His Jumpsuit but U missed that and He was smooth and the stage was part of Him He only fealt alive on that stage.He also kissed and shook hands not only because They were His Fans but also because ppl could not afford the front row seats so He jumped down there to make sure Everyone had a chance.His Jewler use to ask Him to bring His suitcase full of rings and would hand out 30 thousand dollar rings and bought over 200 caddillacs for people He knew and didn't know and bought cars ,,jewlery,,houses U name it and that's Whitney Houston's Mom on stage with there group the Sweet Inspirations.He didn't care about color and all this CRAP He was racust They told Him in Texas to leave His black singers home.He would not play a concert u bless They were with Him.A Singer back then started a racist thing about Elvis because the Singer was so mad and jealous of Elvis and knocked that singer off the charts so that was a rumour.Watch Elvis and The Black Community He wanted the Sweet Inspirations for all His Concerts.Well hopefully U give the King a chance and pay attention or U will miss something.I was gonna keep quiet but then when U listened to American Triliogy and said He was OK I had to tell U what Your missing
Amazing. I couldn't have said it better myself. Their mind was already made up before watching it.
This concert was seen live by over 1 billion people around the world….the 1st ever live satellite concert….1973….the rehearsal show was also filmed incase the satellite went down…all proceeds to charity…
1.5 billion watched live
As for dancing, there is a video called ( I Got a Feeling in My Body), which compares Michael Jackson’s and Elvis moves. I’m sure fans will suggest numerous Elvis songs in which he danced. You both are such newcomers to Elvis and his singing, dancing and acting talent. Your grandma isn’t weird, just check out some of Elvis 1956 TV appearances on Ed Sullivan to hear the females in the audience scream over 21 yr old Elvis.
If you want to see a song where Elvis is dancing, try 'Polk Salad Annie' or 'Suspicious Minds', both live from 1970, or even 'Patch It Up'. Other great performances would be anything from the 68 Comeback Special or his early tv performances from 1956 ('Hound Dog' on Milton Berle, 'Heartbreak Hotel' on the Dorsey Brothers Stage Show, or 'Don't Be Cruel' and 'Ready Teddy' from Ed Sullivan). You'll see why grandma got all hot and bothered 😂
He did many songs before that song. This was the beginning of his illnesses. He sweats because he put all his heart and soul in this song .
This song meant the freedom of slaves.
Black people . The year is..
1865.
He salutes their freedom!!
How could u 2 not realize, he was. honoring black slaves freedom!
He was into freeing blacks
Hello... the concert was in... HAWAII‼️
It's kinda hot, and it's near the equator, too.
The only real king 🤴
Glory Glory
Hallelujah
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:53 Sure would be nice to see what you guys were saying but it's just a still image. But at any rate yeah that's the incredible JD Souther on bass vocal.
J. D. Sumner, not Souther.
yes unfortunately my video got blocked when it included his live performance video so i had to block it out with a still photo in order for it to upload and be seen.
@@JustinPanariello I know that it is a nightmare fighting with TH-cam over copyright but the thing is I've seen this reacted to so many many times and it just shows the normal video with no problem so I don't know what the deal is.
@@tomlivesay8407 got to love the old autocorrect.
@@stevedahlberg8680 my wife did a video from the same performance and hers got blocked too. I dont think theres a ‘standard’ unfortunately.
Where's the video???🤔
Mixed reaction, no video is strange while the beautiful lady rescued the situation from a guy not that convinced or IMHO ever will be re Elvis - which I don't have a problem with. You say he didn't do much or move what, can you imagine many performers singing as gently and then as powerfully as that live to the world with no auto tune. Try Polk Salad Annie live Vegas 1970, and if you are not impressed with that call it a day on the guy.
Yeah, I really didn't get the overly immediate dismissive reaction. This guy is a legend for a reason. Not to mention that he did all his own arranging and wrangled these massive bands and choirs and yet they were still tight and had fun and did intense rehearsals to work this stuff out and get it ready.
Some men are jealous of Elvis I have 2 in my own family
I don't think this guy will or can get past whatever it is with him, to ever really hear Elvis. Big difference between listening and really hearing.
Well said!!!
One and one half Billion saw him live,
He threw his cape not belt.
wrong - He threw his belt at the end of this song performance and the cape at the end of Can't Help Falling in Love .
@@gorse9030 He actually just passed it to a lady in the front row .... Elvis gave the original belt meant to be used to Jack Lord, the actor from the original " Hawaii 5-0 " TV show, a few days before the broadcast, causing chaos as a new belt had to be flown in ...
@@rawschri Fair enough he passed it as opposed to threw it, but my point was it was not his cape. Shame as is it looks quite dramatic on my DVD's but never gets shown on these videos.
as it **
This was a trilogy of three. Ivil War songs.
Over 1 Billion watched this
you miss out on 75% of the song by not watching the live video
we were watching the live video. my video got blocked when I uploaded it and it included his live performance video so I put a still photo on top of his video to block it and the copyright gods were fine with it.... unfortunately sometimes thats what happens. We mentioned him sweating like crazy lol we saw that.
It would've been MUCH better for y'all and your viewers if you had shown the actual live performance instead of just a photo. It's phenomenal with his stage presence, body language, etc. And don't say it's copyright issues because 100% of the reactors I've watched doing this performance have always done the live video. I've never seen just a still photo with just the audio. Moving on.
when I uploaded it with the video TH-cam blocked my video Worldwide soooo in order for me to put it up at all I had to get rid of his video and put a still up. unfortunately. Theres no standard for why it happens which is frustrating. Some people get through others don't. You don't see the ones that don't get through...unless they do what I did.
Loved Elvis even though could not see him live. Greatest ever was or will be. Did not do thumbs up because did not like the reaction. Without Elvis would not have been a band. Over a billion people watched the Hawaiian concert. Noone else will ever beat that.
Found your comments about this song interesting but I realize music is subjective and not everyone can have an appreciation for the same thing.
He sweats like that all the time. He also works his ass off which explains it.
don't forget about those super hot house & stage lights beaming all around him & hurting his eyes only to make his glaucoma a bit worse, but he never stopped
This was the first broadcast over the whole world, he was the first single artist to do this and they had 1.5 BILLION
viewers and at the time there was 3.7 BILLION people on earth.
The Basso Profundo is J.D Sumneer, he can go really low....
That's live in the 70s. And Hawaii.
1973
Everyone else is STILL CHASING THE KING OF ENTERTAINMNT!!! He has been in the Guinness Book Of World Records 15 different times. J.D. Sumner his bass singer is in there for the lowest bass voice ever recorded!!!!
Some people get elvis some dont
What's with the still picture????
copyright
Increíble.teneos que reaccionar a la canción over trouble watter
Why didn't you watch the concert footage?
We did
TH-cam blocked the video for copyright so we had to put an image over it
If I'm not mistaken, Memphis was an Egyptian God. 😎👍
The Hawaii concert was definitely iconic. It was '70s Elvis at his prime. I always found "American Trilogy" to be very disjointed. As Justin said, Elvis had his parts, but it was more about the orchestra and the singers. There are definitely other songs in the set that showcase Elvis.
More about the band, really? I think Madonna must have some new videos you can review 😆.
I'm a musician, not specifically a singer. In this performance, I found the orchestra more interesting than his vocals. Also Elvis and Madonna are both entertainers. Good job....
@@JustinPanariello For your sake, I hope you're a better musician than you are a TH-cam reactor.
lol did you just say he didnt do much??
there is a life version
DO ME A FAVOR, DON'T DO ANYMORE ELVIS. BUT YOUR DAUGHTER IS COOL.... SHE HAS CLASS.
He made 29 movies not parts
Great Charismatic Performer in his time with a decent voice but as someone from Gen X, I don't get all the fuss.
That's how it goes, millions do, just as I don't get the fuss over MJ or rap.
Please react video clip of Dimas Senopati ( the new one ) about his pre wedding.
You're Still the one
Not a big fan but Elvis was one of a kind.
