I never knew that song dated back that far and I never knew it originated as a cabaret/burlesque version. TY for posting.
Its not
Poor Scotty n Bill they dimmed the lights on em then let the annoying house band do their parts
I bet the colonel was behind this orchestral massacre. Elvis must've been furious at this awful arrangement. Mercifully it was quickly dropped. Heartbreak Hotel was always meant to be raw.
IL MIGLIORE ❤GRAZIE ELVIS
No habrá otro como el
I'm sorry but this didn't hit like the other ones. It's no fault to Elvis but that band wasn't it. Not on this song at least...
Shorter black trousers, white socks. Same on the Milton Berle ‘heartbreak hotel,’ ‘blue suede shoes,’ & ‘hound dog’ performances. Safe to say Jackson also got some fashion ideas from 50s Presley.
Always cool to see a video of Elvis that I haven’t seen before. Long live the King.
Long live the King. I heard that song back in '56 and with a friend listened to it over and over and over again until we got it. Nobody else even tried to sing it. Only the King.
Well, since my baby left me Well, I found a new place to dwell Well, it's down at the end of Lonely Street At Heartbreak Hotel Where I'll be, I'll be so lonely, baby Well, I'm so lonely I'll be so lonely, I could die Although it's always crowded You still can find some room For broken hearted lovers To cry there in their gloom Be so, they'll be so lonely, baby They get so lonely They're so lonely, they could die Now, the bellhop's tears keep flowin' And the desk clerk's dressed in black Well, they've been so long on Lonely Street Well, they'll never, they'll never look back And they get so, they get so lonely, baby Well, they are so lonely They're so lonely, they could die Well, now, if your baby leaves you And you got a tale to tell Well, just take a walk down Lonely Street To Heartbreak Hotel Where you will be, you will be lonely, baby Well, you will be lonely You'll be so lonely, you could die Although it's always crowded But you still can find some room For broken hearted lovers To cry there in their gloom Where they get so, they get so lonely, baby Well, they're so lonely They'll be so lonely, they could die
Sixty-eight years ago and ten and a half years before I was born, and here I am jumping up and down like some giddy teenager. Go, Elvis, you are The King!
Soy de Ecuador 🇪🇨, y esta cancion es una de las mejores de Elvis Presley.
Looked good before he dyed his hair black.
Great version. However Elvis loses contact to the band after the trumpet solo.
So bad Version
He hated this arrangement
Вроде гитара нн строит
The last verse was completely out of time with Elvis after that God-awful horn solo! They should have been ashamed of themselves for putting Elvis through that. He showed them all in the end though.
REMEMBER THE KING 1 8 35 🐕 🕶
The big band really took away from this masterpiece.
The Best Version
Dorsey Bro's squaresville band tried their utmost to drag him down. But he overcomes them. However, when he returns the next week, it will be with Scotty, Bill, and D.J. and he will lay the place to waste. When he showed up without ''charts'' the first time (what does a Rockabilly band fronted by Elvis Presley need with band charts) they literally rolled their eyes. No love lost there. That horn ''solo'' was nothing even by their standards. Out of meter, it caused hm to not be on mic at the end of the solo. No big deal; a couple years latter they were all bragging to anyone who would listen that they once played behind Elvis Presley.
Mistake using the orchestra.
It's amazing!! Blow my mind really.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
He is off beat on the last verse. Unbelievable. Elvis.
It's his song. Singer calls the song, key, and tempo. Nothing could be more basic knowledge to a professional musician. They failed utterly.
Awesome
They kill the rock n roll version with that f...trumpet!
Its rlly good tho
I love both versions! The Swing and the Rock format! Elvis was great in any format, period!!
Never been fan of the "show band" playing and not elvis' band..
ICONIC...
I love the part at 2:00 when Elvis comes back in there's a 5/4 measure and then it goes back to 4/4. I can't tell if Elvis improvised that and the band followed along or if it was all planned out ahead of time. It was flawless in any case.
Definitely improvised! The band plays the next “hit” (2:03) a beat early and then totally flub the next one (2:05). I don’t think Elvis realized that the band was playing strictly by the sheet music and weren’t following his lead.
@@rockawayb1tch They didn't like him from the moment they laid eyes on him. Their day had gone.
The backing band was not good at all. Bad timing.
I can’t believe ppl actually some him liveee. I’m so jealous, I love him so muchhh🥹🥹
"Some him liveee"?
I saw him live on t.v. I was 13 years old and my folks never missed the Dorsey Stage Show. I fell in love with him right there and then... still and Elvis fan after all these years!
This version could’ve been better if the backing performers timed better with Elvis.
It’s amazing the tin ears all those bad comments of the band these guys in that band are the best in the business musically but you have no knowledge of that it’s a shame people do not know real musicians, Elvis great with or without but musically they are all pros with more feel than you can imagine because you know nothing of music .
Nobody even remembers their names. Singer calls the song, key, and tempo. NOTHING could be more basic than that rule. They utterly failed to follow his lead because without charts they are lost. Also (go read the historical accounts, Mr. Music, they disliked him from the moment they saw him. Horn guy blew 8 bars which is OK , but in a blues, one would expect 12. Elvis' timing was impeccable. I'd bet the smart a** blew 12 in the rehearsal and then deliberately went 8 at the show. His solo was barely coherent, in any event. No matter. Elvis dropped them the next week, laid the place to waste, with his Rockabilly band and helped end those guy's musical era, which had grown tiresome. Quincy Jones was STILL bitter about Elvis 35 years latter!
@@meetontheledge1380 Boom! Mic drop... ✌️😎👍
@@meetontheledge1380 you are so wrong on so many levels... So confidently incorrect... Heartbreak Hotel is an 8 bar blues, not 12, that's why the trumpet solo is 8 bars long, same as every verse in the song. Elvis missed his entry after the solo, he lost the downbeat. The band has two choices at that point, either all 15 of them simultaneously add a beat on, or they hope Elvis catches up a beat. That's assuming they even hear him, bearing in mind they probably didn't have monitor speakers back in those days. They did the right thing to carry on with the original beat of the song, it can all fall apart if half the band adds a beat and the other half don't, or if they add a beat and Elvis removed a beat at the same time... Disaster. Elvis was wholly responsible for this mistake. It's lack of experience of singing with a band. Happens. But don't call the band bad in this situation, they were immaculate. Also his guitar is out of tune. It is flat as a pancake. And no, the band is not supposed to tune to his guitar... I am not an Elvis hater btw, I think he's great. But these are just facts.
The jazz feel threw off Elvis, and the orchestra couldn't or seemed not to be able to stick with Elvis and capture the timing again. This is what happens when you are book read and don't have the feel. Definitely thew off Elvis at the end. I'm sure he had some spoken words about this performance afterwards.
Elvis may have spoken some words about the back up band, but don't forget: he's in his third performance of six. He just turned 21. In NY, up against the Dorseys, he's a babe in the woods. Plus, I think his manager then is still Bob Neal, not the Colonel.
I think the horn threw him; he looked like he was a little in awe of the new arrangement and got distracted... but, the superstar pro he was, he just fell in with the band and rocked it out to the end.
he's playing - he a leader never followed anyone too wild to Alexander The Great SPECIAL touch you know it's ONLY from THE MOST HIGH
«The Dorsey orchestra tried to fill out the song with a full-band arrangement but achieved only confusion; unable to follow the singer’s rhythms, they performed the entire last verse off-beat. (Ernst Jorgensen - Elvis Presley : A Life in Music)
Did the Dorsey band think "whatever sound we offer will make this young kid sound better." Or, did the Dorseys want to provide a more explosive sound? After all, with Scotty, Bill, DJ, and a not very powerful guitar player in Elvis maybe they thought Elvis' band needed more range.
I think they didn't quite grasp this new sound, so they attempted to recreate the song with an arrangement that felt more familiar to them. IMO this version of Heartbreak Hotel it's a textbook example of the struggle of the old against the encroaching new.@@SkyKingofMaricopa
@@drama_queen__Interesting analysis. Thanks
God they murdered his song with that squaling shit
The band can’t keepup with elvis’s rythm!!🤣💶💶
That shrieking trumpet is not necessary.
God, poor Elvis that backing ban was not doing any Justice
What a mistake, that band was terrible…Scotty, Bill and DJ were so much better!
Right
No this is rlly good except for the last part
This is the pre-slick, pre-Hollywood hillbilly Elvis.
I haven't an instrument in front of me to check but I don't think that his guitar is out of tune, but out of key! I imagine that with the brass, they were playing in Bb but his record version was in the key of E. I'm open to be corrected though :)
Poor Elvis, he recovered well, what a shitty band 🤦♀️
Elvis laughing at the instrumental section, then again when it keeps going and makes him go out of time 😆
Jazz jam session . Elvis always stayed jazz in his own style. Great artist
This is one the hottest performance of this SONG! Stop Complaining!!!!!
In the book it mention he was not happy with the band, couldn’t see his guys ! It was somewhat off a disaster?Agree !
Dorsay orchestra assassinated Elvis
Only that once. He dropped them the next week and laid waste to the show and that whole era of music.
Inappropriate use of words here. You could have used a different verb.
