#reaction #elvispresley #musicreactions #reactionvideo
I really enjoyed watching you enjoy the special. Don't feel bad that you are going back to movies, there aren't that many left and then you can focus on his live performances.
I have to echo what everyone is saying!! You HAVE to watch Trying to Get To You!! It’s the absolute best! I’m so glad you enjoyed watching this amazing special!
Also Heartbreak Hotel!!!
Also it hurts me
And Santa Claus is Back in Town!
Absolutely Love your reaction to the 68 Comeback special! Another one of my favorites! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Seth, this is my first comment.
I am 72 a male who grew up loving Elvis.
It has been a pleasure reliving my life of enjoying Elvis through your eyes.
My friend you have a lot more to go. Enjoy it as I know I will.
❤❤❤
Thank you Metoo :D I'm glad i could bring up some memories for you my friend !
55 years today this was broadcast. And it’s still as fresh as ever, showing how ahead of his time Elvis was. Loved your enthusiasm and observations. Do watch the full version of the show, in one part he does have a strap on his guitar. Interestingly, his Granddaughter, Riley Keogh, uses the exact same strap in her series “ Daisy and the Six”.
👌💕🕺
I do hope you go back and find the other sit down session songs-they are amazing-Trying to get to you is a MUST!
That’s a gem that must be seen 🥰
Don't worry i will definitely get around to it!!
The 68 Comeback Special is definitely a tribute to Elvis' enduring talent but his movie career is not a waste. He made some really good movies with some really good music. Then you have his opening in Las Vegas 1970, Madison Square Garden in 72, the Aloha concert in 73. And some good concerts in between. So buck up Seph. Glad you loved the 68 Special ❤ You then start over or revisit your favorite music like the rest of us fans.
Seph your journey has not been a waste! You got me to listen to songs that I never would have bothered to and re-listen to others with a new appreciation. You’ve made me laugh and cry at times too. Thank you for being you.
Steph, maybe you can react the Bloopers of this show, it’s really hilarious 😆! Thanks for all your amazing work!
Don't worry i will definitely get around to all the stuff i didnt see in the near future!!
but to keep things rolling because i still have 300+ songs to listen to i will be mixing in outtakes/bloopers/repeats from the 1968 special.
So like maybe every 5 songs or so i'll cycle back and do something from the special. So by the time i get to 1977 i should have watched everything there is to see from it.
Then i can start tackling all his concerts "Which is going to take years haha"
Thank you Seph! This was such a fun time! Every song a banger and Elvis stunning as ever!! 👍
I have good news, there's plenty more film from The 68 Comeback. All your reactions today was flippin' masterpieces, thank you Seph.👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks for doing this milestone anniversary special for us, Seph - we really do appreciate it! So glad you love it as much as we do! There are still quite a few ‘68 Special songs to go, so you’ve got those to look forward to, at least in the short term! Only movie left is Change of Habit, then it’s on to Live concerts and amazing albums! I promise, you will not be disappointed! Plenty of bts footage, plenty of laughs with Elvis - it’s all good! Anyway, thanks again for this epic Elvis viewing day! Sleep well, you’ve earned it! 👏🏻👏🏻
First of all seth i have say i love that you call him The Elvis ! It's so fitting 😊 i agree with your review of the 68 special word for word after 50 some years this still feels like i'm seeing for the first time ! It's a jem ! Loved it awsome work seth !❤😊
Like everyone said, Trying to get to you is not to be missed.
This TV special came to be known as the '68 Comeback Special. Elvis' career was in the toilet by that time. He hadn't performed live through much of the 60s and this truly was a comeback for him. Billed as a Christmas special, it was anything but that... it was Elvis showing the world who the real Elvis is. And just like that he was back on top again.
I've never seen anyone react to the entire special from beginning to end, one song, medley or montage at a time. I like the way you did this. No one can really appreciate it without watching the whole show all the way through. And without understanding the importance of this special at that critical time in his career. Excellent reaction from you as usual.
Oh Seph. Please do the sit down the others mentioned Trying to Get to You. It is the Best. ❤❤. Please do it ❤
Dont worry i will get around to everything i havent watched!
As you will read in all these comments, you did not get to the best stuff from this show. We're feeling really bad you missed it. Not for us. We already know it. We want to make sure you get to see it. Please, have whoever gets your songs together get the sit-down jam sessions with the band on the little stage. You've missed most of them. You need to watch them in sequence making sure to not cut out the parts between the songs. Tell him or her to make sure it is the first take, where Elvis comes out and the band is already sitting on the stage. This section of the show was fantastic and you should get to see it. Loved your reactions to what you did get to see though, as always. I (and we) really appreciate your reactions - they're the best. You really feel the music.
Perfection ❤
This was so much fun Seph. There's some songs from the sit down you really need to react to. They were the ones I've been waiting for you to see!! Lol Heartbreak Hotel...Trying To Get To You... Thats Alright Mama... Love Me.
There's only 1 movie and its my favorite!! Change of Habit. Great songs and he looks so Yummy. Lol You Rock Seph!! Now were all gonna say wait til you see his first show in Vegas!!! Lol 😊
Don't worry i will definitely get around to all the stuff i didnt see in the near future!!
but to keep things rolling because i still have 300+ songs to listen to i will be mixing in outtakes/bloopers/repeats from the 1968 special.

After just one watch, you were able to process & summarize this special so well Seph.⭐ You were spot on, there is a storyline. It's about a young guitar player setting out to make his mark in the world, he finds success, then loses his way for a time, but eventually returns to his roots.
It was Elvis's own story. Well, 31 Elvis videos in 5 days Seph, we have been truly spoiled 😄❤
It was a crazy few days haha worth every second though :D
I've always loved how Elvis looks and moves during closing credits... playing guitar in that white suit....
Seph You had me in tears of joy watching you react to the 68 Comeback Special -- Just watching being amazed & getting to see Elvis Live -- "Trying to get to you" IS Fantastic in the 68 Comeback -- There are Bloopers too --- Don't feel down - You have MY FAVORITE Movie coming "Change Of Habit" That's The Last One -- You will love the Song / Scenes --- and your so close to His First Vegas 1970 LIVE --- and Aloha From Hawaii -- OHHHHHH And Elvis on Tour 1972 -- Wow Love it -- Love them all -- Thank you -- I enjoyed today sooooooo much!!!!!! Hugs x Tonya
There is so much more footage an outtakes. Thank you Seph fantastic day of reactions an on the 55th anniversary of 68 special thank you goodnight ❤
This was an eventful day watching your '68 Comeback videos! 😁👍 enjoyed your reactions. You get it! You get it, like millions of us do...
There are more '68 vids that you haven't watched though...?? He is the GOAT for sure, no denying that. Thanks Seph.

Seph you can get the 68 comeback show with EVERYTHING the recorded, including both stand up shows, two sit down shows, all the filmed insertions including bloobers. It is a 4 dvd set, and you would love it.
Omg really enjoyed your reactions today. 💕🤭 soo happy you enjoyed it just as I have a million times. Definitely looking scrumptious in 68.
In a Danish newspaper 5 years ago, the named the 68 show, the biggest comeback in the music industry . Number 2 was Dawid Bowies comeback just before he died.
Heartbreak hotel (sitting down), Trying to get to you, One night with you…. I’m sure others will suggest more… and then the 1968 bloopers!!!!!!
There’s also a video of different takes of if I can dream put together so you can hear the differences
I too really enjoyed it and I so enjoyed watching you enjoy it!! It was a pleasure.
Please consider watching the parts that you missed of the ‘68 special as others are saying!!
Don’t worry you’re just about done with the movies! You didn’t waste your time- you’re experiencing his career the way it unfolded but you got to do it in the sped up version! You went through 1953-1968 in a year and a half. Not too shabby!

@SephPlays, the consensus seems to be (and rightly so) you absolutely must react to Trying to Get To You from the special. You will understand what we are talking about when you watch it👍👍💜💜🙏🙏
YES 🔥🔥🔥
It's on my list already :D reacting to it sooner rather then later
@@SephPlays❤❤
Loved sharing this with you Seph such a great thing to do commemorating 55 years of this TV special - so proud of you for what you are doing in keeping Elvis's legacy alive - think you only have Change of Habit film to do - there are some great songs in there (well I like them!) - you'll need a week to recover after being all Elvised-out😜
This really is a treasure trove.
You truly appreciated this more than most because you watched it in the context of the time, after only hearing mediocre songs for years. Then this came along and it must have been stunning at the time. Your journey represents what fans must have gone through at the time. Love it.
A bit harsh 'mediocre songs for years. Does that include the How Great Thou Art album, Love Letters, I'll Remember You, Down in The Alley, Viva Las Vegas, Little Egypt, City By Night and so forth.
Only some songs were mediocre during all those years. Many were phenomenal huge multi-million record sellers. Seph called many of them bangers & double bangers. You're correct that his musical journey as shown by Seph is what we experienced from the start. Us fans loved that journey (dud songs & mediocre movies included). That's why Elvis holds every music record & still has literally millions of fans around the world still listening 46 years after he left us.
It was a magnificent day! Thank you so much!! Don't be sad. I can think of at least a half dozen songs (all must-sees) from the '68 Special that you didn't react to. Your friend (who I suspect isn't an Elvis fan) did you wrong. The sit-down version of "Heartbreak Hotel" is SO good as is "Are You Lonesome Tonight" from the sit-down show #2. We don't want you to miss out on any of the magic. I'm sure you'd also love: Elvis - 68 Comeback Bloopers (12:42).
Don't fret about going back to movie songs. There's only one movie left. As for "wasting" a year, think about all the Elvis songs you now have on your personal playlist and how much joy you've brought to people all over the world. Personally, I've had a blast watching your chronological journey and am excited for what lies ahead.

@SephPlays Good to hear! I think you only have 200+ songs left. 🎵 I hope this isn't a spoiler. Elvis performed 1,600+ concerts. Unfortunately, you won't be watching 1,600+ concerts. Two words: The Colonel. But with all the documentaries, interviews, rehearsals, etc. you won't run out of content for a long, long time.
We appreciate you so much Seph! ❤
Thank you Amanda :D
Enjoyed today's reactions Elvis has your heart now god love him he was so talented hoping you will react to the songs you haven't played today theres still some amazing performances for you to see
I so enjoyed your reactions to the singer NBC tv special Are you now going to watch all the rehearsals outtakes bloopers, that are available of this Amazing tv special . I really hope so there’s some beautiful performances ❤ l know you will flip out over

Glad you liked it so much, but seeing the entire show, I think, would blow you away even more. This version was quite different than what we saw or you can view if you choose. Scenes were cut short, not in same order, some scenes were completely missing. Hard to explain. Thanks for sharing it. Loved every moment. So again, hope you take time to see it in entirety. You won't regret it.
You're a treasure, Seph! 💎💍🔶🪙🏆🎁💝
Thank you so much, Seph for taking us with you on this amazing trip into the past. I'm looking forward to seeing you react to the 1970s shows.
Are you going to watch some interviews or short documentaries of this era, too?
Ohhh definitely :D everything Elvis is going to be reacted to "It's just going to take a lot of time haha"
@@SephPlays Yay! We don't mind. Take ALL the time you need. We're not going anywhere. The Elvis Train is WHERE IT IS AT!
Thank you for today, Seph, I've really enjoyed sharing this with you and I know the others did too.
There's a lot that was missed out of the video you watched, though. I realise you wouldn't know that as you've never seen it before, but there's a lot more to it. There's also a 'blooper' video which is very funny. A lot of the extra footage that didn't make it to the final cut was released after his death, so, I suppose, as you're doing this in chronological order, you probably won't be watching it until then?
The good news is that you don't need to feel so down about going back to the movies. You're already onto 'Live A Little, Love A Little' and 'The Trouble With Girls', which only leaves his last movie ''Change of Habit' and that was actually a good one with some good songs in it 😊
He does his first live show in Vegas in 1969 after he finishes with the movies, so you'll soon be onto that. Then there's a couple of good documentaries that were made in 1970 and 1972 following him as he rehearses and goes on tour - you'll love them.
Thanks again for a great day of reactions 😊

No "Trying to Get to You"?? Anyway, thanks for giving us a thrill again, I never can see enough Elvis in my lifetime. thanks Seph, good job.

What happened to Trying to Get to You in the jam session? The best jamming ever. Did I miss it? I didn't really care for the way some of these videos were put together. Too much of the sit-down sessions missing, which were the best versions of the songs. There are some very, very good songs to come, so don't worry about the future. Even a couple of movie bangers.
Trying to get to you Is my favourite so disappointed not to see it hopefully Seph will do the missing songs at a later date
@@Barbara-lb5ytdid I miss it hurts me I love seeing Elvis do his karate
@@Barbara-lb5yt Aww perhaps Seph will do it I hope so an the outtakes he has done brilliant today
@@marycorner4809 Yes, some of the very best parts of the special are missing - the jamming with the band.
Dont worry anything that wasn't reacted to will be reacted to in the very near future!! dont worry haha
There’s a few missing performances. I’m sure you’d have a wonderful time seeing those 🥰
I’m not sure if I should mention them or not, since it might be in the plans already and I don’t want to spoil anything. It was such a great treat to follow all these videos today, Seph. You’ve been the one place on TH-cam, with the most heartful reactions I’ve ever come across, for well over a year now. Ever since I found your channel the summer of 2022 ☺️ what a journey. So lovely to look back and now we suddenly are here.
Well done, Seph, and thank you for the consideration and specialness of doing this ON THE DATE of the anniversary!
P.S. Hmmm, you know the Belinda was watching ... you sure you didn't just let the Elvis talk us out to avoid any more possible push ups??? 🤪
Hahahahahahaha..... YEP! Im never going to make a mistake like that again! 😅
@@SephPlays 🤣
Not a real fan of the comeback special .but absolutely loved Elvis on tour.
Not many movies left anyway he had to do the 68 Special in conjunction with his last movie which is Change of Habit. After this it’s Vegas baby! And the Elvis in Memphis album. It’ll be alright TCB⚡️
❤👑👑👑👑👑❤️
You missed a few great performances there, Seph! MUST revisit and also check out some of the outtakes.
Ohh i definitely will 😍
There’s a video called ‘Elvis four songs from 06-27-1968’ that has blue suede shoes, what you want me to do, heartbreak hotel and one night with you… all together with some in between dialogue 😁😁
Edited to say they are different versions to what you have reacted to
Mate, don't worry about topping the 68 Special cause for me, that, and the That's The Way It Is recordings are the best of the best. But if we are true Elvis fans we take the not so good with the good. Not to worry. Like you Brits say, we have to "take the psss". I mean heck, even "The Elvis" for sure had to "take the psss" to fulfill those contracts and walk the line for the Colonel. Like you say Elvis had some artistical and musical input for the Special at his insistence cause the Colonel had him on a short leash 90% of the time. The Elvis fans are varied too in that some like all his films and music. Just carry on having fun and making us laugh and going through the whole gambit of emotion's together...it's really cool. Keep that "Elvis Train" amoving please, that's the main thing. We're onboard with ya man.
On to some concerts, and then to the 1973 1st World Wide Concert.
As others have commented Seph Trying To Get To You is outstanding, and there is a better version of One Night while Blue Suede Shoes is something else again.
the movies are just about done - think you've got change of habbit left and songs actually quite good (only 4 and one or two bonus songs) - think it may have an EP (for all you youngsters that is an extended play single with 4 or 5 songs on it).
O Especial de 68 foi produzido nos estúdios da CBS, no formato para TV, como um especial de Natal. Esse especial revolucionou é trouxe de volta o nome de Elvis e sua vontade de voltar a fazer shows. Foi o primeiro show ao vivo acustico para TV, muito antes da MTV existir.
Existem muitas histórias boas por trás deste Especial de 68, vc pode entender bem assistindo o filme Elvis de 2022, tem uma parte no filme que trata muito bem sobre os bastidores do Especial 68.
I believe this was an NBC production. 🥰
Opa! Isso mesmo foi ba NBC estudios😅
You realize that the show started with Elvis dressed in black singing, "If you're looking for trouble..." and ended with him dressed in white singing about peace and love.
The brilliance of the program is that it incorporated both sides of Elvis: the bad boy and the boy next door. What performer had both personalities at the same time? No wonder women found him irresistible.
You missed a lot. There was a bunch that was not seen on the 68 Special. Elvis did not leave the building yet.
Seph…. you ll get through the bad movie songs and there s a couple of good ones coming . anyway, now that you ve seen the 68 comeback dpecisl you can watch it anytime😊
🎶💚👏🫶👏💚🎶
I very much love your reactions to Elvis but let me tell you why i like those dumb ass movie songs that he covered. Jut to be able too hear his singing voice period. I mean damned. He even made old Macdonald sound good. I mean seriously.
❤❤❤
Still didn’t do James Brown
1969 is even better than '68 lol
