I know it's hard, but keep in mind this performance happened over 50 years ago. With 50-year-old technology. And it was really live, no lip syncing. Those were the days when singers and bands came together to make wonderful music. No digital stuff, no getting bits and pieces from wherever and putting it together via a computer. This was pure. Elvis' performances were top-notch, as were his band and backup singers. And he always gave credit to them and showed off their talents somehow in every show. Ronnie Tutt was one of the best, if not the best, drummers. James Burton on lead guitar, John Wilkinson on rhythm guitar, Jerry Scheff on bass and Larry Muhoberac on keyboards. Then the backup singers were The Imperials, Sweet Inspirations and The Stamps Quartet. Every single one of them stellar at their craft.
I love watching the reaction of these young people when the hear and see one of the greatest performers like Elvis. He had a true god given talent in his voice and was a true performer and professional entertainers. These young one now get to see why we the older generation love him and his music and why it was a great shock and lost to the music industry when the King of Rock 'N' Roll died in 1977.
It is good that a young chap like you react to Elvis, Elvis passed away in 1977 aged 42, he was truly the Greatest Solo Performer that there has been a lifetime achievement that is still unsurpassed to this day, please react to Aloha from Hawaii satellite concert beamed across the globe to 1,5 billion people more than watched the moon landing in 69, and react to "What Now My Love" his vocals are amazing you will be glad that you did. Keep the good work on Elvis😀😀😀
It’s so great to see young people like yourself, reacting to singers/groups from what must seem like the long distant past. I think it would be great if you reacted to young Elvis in the1950s …. A good one would be ….. Elvis Presley at Milton Berle Show (Live TV 5th June 1956) Full Appearance Remastered …… He sings one of his most popular Number One Hits Hound Dog, & does the dancing that the teenagers loved. He was 21 in this performance, with some great dance moves, which Michael Jackson put into his own dance routines a couple of decades later. Make sure you choose the video which says ‘Full Appearance’, because afterwards he was only shown from the waist up when on television during the 1950s, due to complaints. You only need to watch him singing Hound Dog … the video goes on for longer, but no need to watch the rest. Enjoying your Elvis reactions.
The King! I loved him when I was 13 and I love him today when I am 61. I am sure that I will still love him even on the last day of my life. And I'm a completely "normal" man.
I was there with this concert, it was on August 12 1970 in the Intnernational hotel in Las Vegas and this concert is also taken up in a documentary called That's the way it is. I was a boy of 5 years old then (my birthday is the same as Elvis but in the year 1965). It is because of this performance I became an Elvisfan for life. The drummer you name is called Ronnie Tutt and he was a member of the Memphis Maffia, the friendsgroup of Elvis. Other band members were James Burton (lead guitar), Jerry Scheff (Bass), Glenn Hardin (piano) Charlie Hodge guitar (backvocals and classic guitar) the sweet inspiration (back vocals) one of them is the mother of Whitney Houstan nl Cissy Houston. I have seen Elvis 6 times in concert and I had one personal meeting with him and believe me these were the best moments in my life. During his concerts, believe me everybody but really everybody went berserk, they even had to hire a man of 41 years old named Al Dvorin to shout at the end of the concert "Elvis has left the building" or else we would still be there shouting and screaming for Elvis. I even believe it is by Elvis I became later in my life a christian. Why? That has to do with my personal meeting with him. That was June 5 1975 in Dallas and believe me it was still ELVIS, THE MAN, THE GOAT, THE KING, so when he enterred the room I said to him "Mister the king" and immediately Elvis replied "young man I'm not the king, only Jesus Christ is King" and he went to a piano standing in that room and played and sang a pieces of one of his gospels nl "if you get discouraged, just remember what to do, reach out to Jesus, I said reach out to Jesus, come on reach out to Jesus, He's reaching out to you" and everybody in the room shouted AMEN! Believe me a dictionnary has not enough words to describe how much I miss mister Elvis Presley, THE GOAT!!!
It does my soul good to see young people appreciate his music. Little known fact elvis not oly played the guitar he played drums, piano and bass guitar. I was lucky enough to see him live 3xs before he passed
I was born in1961 l have been an Elvis fan since1973. I like his different kinds of music.The rock n roll blues country gospel Christmas songs ballads inspirational songs. The. Movies concerts tv appearances.
My long time friend i will always love and miss his humor smile and his awesome huge heart and big bear hugs. I use to post memories of our friendship but people posted nasty pathetic comments so i learned to keep those memories tucked away safe in my heart. Awesome reaction love from the one and only Memphis Tn.
Great reaction! 👍🏻👏🏻 His drummer was the famous Ronnie Tutt. Elvis and Ronnie Tutt would sync his dance moves to the drumming. Another great song in this concert series: Polk Salad Annie.
When I was about your age, well, not a single day went by without listening to Elvis. Now that I'm 63 year of age, well, not a single... etc. Got a huge Elvis vinyl collection: last week bought over 40 Elvis vinyls. Check the very end again. Why? In the end Elvis is wearing a different jumpsuit. Did you notice that? TCB and thanks though you find Elvis' dance moves amusing...❤
The name Elvis and his music have being featured in Many Many films Like Men In Black. This is from his film. ELVIS, THAT'S THE WAY IT IS 1970. We get to see him behind the scenes in rehearsals. With his band members. Thank you for reacting to Elvis. 😊
Elvis had so much fun reacting to Ronnie Tutt’s drums. Also, from that same special he did “Patch it up”. Not quite as high intensity as Suspicious Minds but a very good performance. As a young person you need to see what all the fuss was about in 1956. The teenagers were crazy about him because no singer before had his style. Keep doing your Elvis reactions. I love watching your face and how you are reacting to Elvis.❤❤❤
The drummer is Ronnie Tutt who was with Elvis from (I believe) 1969 to 1977. He is a legend in hiw own right having worked with many other front men/ performers/ recording artists. Ronnie Tutt was working as a for hire drummer in Texas when he got the news that Elvis was looking for a drummer for his return to the stage. Ronnie took a risk, packing up his wife and kids and their belongings in the family station wagon and drove from Texas to L.A. where Elvis was holding auditions (the building is still in existence; it is now the L.A. Film School located on Sunset Boulevard). Ronnie was the very last in line to audition for Elvis. Plus he also didn't have his own drum set. The guy that auditioned before him let Ronnie borrow his (if my meory serves me correctly anyway). Anyway, Ronnie didn't think he would get the job. The odss of that happening to his way of thinking were incredibly low. Elvis needed a drummer that could keep up with him since he conducted entirely with his body movements/ dance moves and he always did whatever came to him in the moment. They rehearsed the music and songs on the set lists. But when it came to the actual performances Elvis was the consummate showman in the sense that no one never really knew what he was going to do next. He kept everyone on their toes including his own band members and back up singers. Which is why his one word of advice to them was basically, "Just keep your eyes on me now." before show time the first time they performed together. So Elvis thinks he's got his drummer chosen already when he decides to give the last guy in line a shot. Elvis never refused giving someone a chance, Elvis puts Ronnie through the paces, switching from fast to slow to fast again. Elvis is impressed with Ronnie's ability to keep up and be rght there with him so at the end of the audition Elvis says, "The man with the beard got it." The man with the beard was Ronnie Tutt. Thank you for sharing a most enjoyable reaction! I concur with Jenny Jorgensen. You would enjoy performaces from the 1968 Comeback Special. The drummer there is/ was D.J Fontana who had been with Elvis since 1955 and the stage was too small for D.J.'s drum set so the man improvised by setting up a guitar case on a stand and banging his drumsticks on that guitar case during the whole of the sit down shows. Pretty cool in my opinion ;)
I'm Norwegian, so you and I are "neighbours"☺️ Although I'm more than twice your age I'm young in the Elvis world and only went from liking him to become a die hard fan after watching the '22 Elvis movie. It's a movie and not every scene is factual but it still tells his amazing story from rags to riches and it laid the foundation for my newfound knowledge and admiration for this legend. I love love love to see a young man like you give Elvis a chance even when your parents don't appreciate him. They've probably just ignorant of his greatness and/or they have read to much of the sensationalistic garbage about him. I hope you'll continue your journey and educate them as well😘
New subscriber for your Elvis video reactions. So much fun to see the reactions of young people; all of these decades later, Elvis still has the power to captivate new generations. Don't think a performance can be much more energetic than Elvis's "Suspicious Minds" although "Polk Salad Annie" gives it a run. Thanks much. Hoping you do more Elvis.
Its awesome to see a young person, watching EP. Thank you❤. I'm an old great grandma and Ep is always my Idol since the first time I heard him in 1956. Still a fan till I die. Again Thank you for your reaction video❤
I was born in 1964 the last year of the Baby Boomers. I am 59 Years old and Elvis is my favorite Singer and The Bee Gees are my favorite group. I am so glad I grew up in the 60/s and 70's and 80's. It was a golden era of music.
Jane H …. I have seen Elvis performing Suspicious Minds a number of times, but always so enjoyable to watch. Elvis had so much energy & he had a great sense of humour, & got on very well with all his musicians & backup singers, who were with him from the late 1960s right up until his death in 1977. This performance was at Las Vegas in 1970. Great Reaction from you. I think you will enjoy Reacting to an English group called Hot Chocolate who had an amazing number of Number One Hits all over the world in the 1970s & halfway through the 1980s …. From 1970 until 1984, this group had at least one Number One Hit every year. They had a wonderful funky disco sound to their original songs. A great One for you to watch would be ….. Hot Chocolate Every 1’s A Winner (ZDF Disco 12. 06.1978) … Would love to see what you think of them.
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 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. 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.
Really nice reaction to this fun video. Elvis performed this song in the Aloha From Hawaii special. Maybe you are relating to that . Not sure about the Christmas memory, but his 68 Special was initially going to be a Christmas special. Thank goodness it turned out to be much, much more. You should react to anything from that special, especially the black leather performances and the opening Trouble/Guitar Man number.❤❤❤
If you think the drums are good on this, watch the concert opening number “Mystery Train/ Tiger Man”. Also Jerry Scheff’s bass playing on this song was absolutely brilliant. Listen to it again just paying attention to his bass part! Elvis & his band will make you a better musician. I’m a metal musician who saw Elvis live. Elvis did movies about Hawaii, and the worlds most ever watched tv show from Hawaii. He is very much associated with Hawaii and did several hit albums of gospel Christmas songs.
The drummer is ronnie tutt and he once was quoted as saying drumig for elvis was like drumming for a stripper... Elvis never told Ronnie to do anything a certain way just what feels right with he and the music...
@theapavlou3030 it would definitely not be the same Ronnie once said that the reason he was hired is because of the instant eye communication and intuitive following of Elvis. It's just amazing to me!
Axel, if you like this you’ll love his version of “Bridge Over Troubled Water” from the same show in 1970. “Bridge Over Troubled Water” was one the biggest songs of the 70’s by Simon & Garfunkel, but Elvis did a far superior version simply because of his voice.
We need more young people listening to EIVIS I JUST HATE IT BECAUSE YOUNG PEOPLE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO MEAT HIM. OR SEE HIM IN PERSON. WOULD IT BE SOMETHING IF GOD. WOULD LET ELVIS COME DOWN TO EARTH SOMETIMES.
BACKGROUND INFO for the SONG: Written by Mark James in '68, it is based on one night when James was fooling around on his guitar & came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James' wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of." This performance is part of the famous DVD entitled "That's The Way It Is" which was filmed by MGM over 6 different shows.
If you think that why are you here i guarantee you he was very talented you must not know anything about what you are spewing Elvis was not overrated nasty disgusting comment.

HE'S BEEN GONE ALMOST 50 YEARS...AND HE'S STILL RELEVANT...THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT HIM!!!
I know it's hard, but keep in mind this performance happened over 50 years ago. With 50-year-old technology. And it was really live, no lip syncing. Those were the days when singers and bands came together to make wonderful music. No digital stuff, no getting bits and pieces from wherever and putting it together via a computer. This was pure.

Ronnie Tutt was one of the best, if not the best, drummers. James Burton on lead guitar, John Wilkinson on rhythm guitar, Jerry Scheff on bass and Larry Muhoberac on keyboards. Then the backup singers were The Imperials, Sweet Inspirations and The Stamps Quartet. Every single one of them stellar at their craft.
Ronnie Tutt was Elvis's drummer. He was phenomenal. He masterfully kept the beat while at the same time adding in extra hits to the movement of Elvis.
It's so awesome watching the young generation
React to Elvis
Long live the King
The prince of another planet ❤

The greatest ever - no fancy dancers, no auto-tune, wired mics and just energy and natural charisma = Elvis 👑💛⭐
It is good that a young chap like you react to Elvis, Elvis passed away in 1977 aged 42, he was truly the Greatest Solo Performer that there has been a lifetime achievement that is still unsurpassed to this day, please react to Aloha from Hawaii satellite concert beamed across the globe to 1,5 billion people more than watched the moon landing in 69, and react to "What Now My Love" his vocals are amazing you will be glad that you did.

Keep exploring the talent of past generations, remember they provided the stepping stone from which to grow.
His band was great. Ronnie Tutt was a monster on the drums
That drummer!!!!!
Drummer Ronnie Tutt together with basist Jerry Scheff are incredible. Only the best for the King!

I concur with Jenny Jorgensen. You would enjoy performaces from the 1968 Comeback Special. The drummer there is/ was D.J Fontana who had been with Elvis since 1955 and the stage was too small for D.J.'s drum set so the man improvised by setting up a guitar case on a stand and banging his drumsticks on that guitar case during the whole of the sit down shows. Pretty cool in my opinion ;)
The one and only Elvis ♥️ ❤️ 💖 💙 ✨️ 💓

The horns and the drums together during the second half are AWESOME!
Jane H …. I have seen Elvis performing Suspicious Minds a number of times, but always so enjoyable to watch. Elvis had so much energy & he had a great sense of humour, & got on very well with all his musicians & backup singers, who were with him from the late 1960s right up until his death in 1977. This performance was at Las Vegas in 1970. Great Reaction from you.

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.
Fantástico!!!!
as great as Elvis was he was under appreciated as an artist
This song is also in blade runner 2 , where a holygram of Elvis pops up .
Really nice reaction to this fun video. Elvis performed this song in the Aloha From Hawaii special. Maybe you are relating to that . Not sure about the Christmas memory, but his 68 Special was initially going to be a Christmas special. Thank goodness it turned out to be much, much more. You should react to anything from that special, especially the black leather performances and the opening Trouble/Guitar Man number.❤❤❤
The King
If you think the drums are good on this, watch the concert opening number “Mystery Train/ Tiger Man”. Also Jerry Scheff’s bass playing on this song was absolutely brilliant. Listen to it again just paying attention to his bass part! Elvis & his band will make you a better musician. I’m a metal musician who saw Elvis live. Elvis did movies about Hawaii, and the worlds most ever watched tv show from Hawaii. He is very much associated with Hawaii and did several hit albums of gospel Christmas songs.
Jerry Scheff is still alive.
He was speaking about his time with Elvis in Bad Nauheim (Germany). He even played the bass on stage.
The drummer is ronnie tutt and he once was quoted as saying drumig for elvis was like drumming for a stripper... Elvis never told Ronnie to do anything a certain way just what feels right with he and the music...
Imagine live Elvis without Ronnie Tutt. How different would that have been if Ronnie hadn't been allowed to get his audition in
@theapavlou3030 it would definitely not be the same Ronnie once said that the reason he was hired is because of the instant eye communication and intuitive following of Elvis. It's just amazing to me!
Axel, if you like this you’ll love his version of “Bridge Over Troubled Water” from the same show in 1970. “Bridge Over Troubled Water” was one the biggest songs of the 70’s by Simon & Garfunkel, but Elvis did a far superior version simply because of his voice.
@@Mike-rk8px I'll look into it! :)
We need more young people listening to EIVIS I JUST HATE IT BECAUSE YOUNG PEOPLE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO MEAT HIM. OR SEE HIM IN PERSON. WOULD IT BE SOMETHING IF GOD. WOULD LET ELVIS COME DOWN TO EARTH SOMETIMES.
BACKGROUND INFO for the SONG: Written by Mark James in '68, it is based on one night when James was fooling around on his guitar & came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James' wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of." This performance is part of the famous DVD entitled "That's The Way It Is" which was filmed by MGM over 6 different shows.
Nice video, thanks. But look at Trying to get to you from Elvis 68 comeback special
❤👑❤️
Elvis “hand-picked” the members of his band, including the drummer, Ronnie Tutt.
👑✌️
Please react to his song recorded in Honolulu Hawaii in 1973 live. The title is," You gave me a mountain. "
Ronnie Tuck Drummer
Elvis only used the best musicians in USA at that time… best drummer best back up singers beat guitarists….
Han levede for, og gav alt for sine fans ❤
Håber du forsætter din rejse med Elvis, han vil ikke skuffe dig.
Men - du bør starte fra begyndelsen
You might be thinking about Lilo and Stitch
Elvis is overrated
If you think that why are you here i guarantee you he was very talented you must not know anything about what you are spewing Elvis was not overrated nasty disgusting comment.
