Just brilliant!! Who would have thought when Elvis started out he would end up singing such powerful songs. His voice was pure gold. Thank you for sharing this video.
Sandwiched between MGM's "That's The Way It Is", and "Elvis On Tour", it's easy to forget that Elvis had a great year in 1971. Any 1977 footage is just too heartbreaking for me to see. It's no matter now - I know Elvis is in a better place. But I still marvel at that 77 performance of "It's Now Or Never". It is truly spectacular in spite of his his poor condition.
I think the 77 footage is interesting. Also, like you I think 1971 the “missing year” is very good as well! A nice tour in November and some nice recordings. The early Vegas engagement is very good! Also, he introduced some cool suits.
1971 was a good year but I believe the beginning of 1971 was the best. I have about 11 minutes of video footage from the first engagement of 1971 (January-February) and he sounded and looked great.
I can't bear to watch the Elvis In Concert show.Although his voice was still magnificent at the time the energy was gone because of his health condition.I have said many times he should not have been on stage then.😌
I agree, Robert Northrop, I feel very sad when I see Elvis' concerts in 1977, the Colonel was very bad to him, he cared only for money! Elvis didn't deserve that treatment, he was a magnifique person, who needed a bit of resting before continue. Greetings from Argentina, Elvis forever!👋💓
Wasn't that the song where Elvis was having a hard time with hitting the note and was told! to hit the note it's like throwing up! He laugh! And he nailed it! like always! The King!! We love the Man!! 👍🏽
@@Ирина-т4ф5о Have you listened to the "Promised Land" album? It's my favorite of Elvis' '70s releases. Unlike the other 1973 sessions, the December '73 sessions were productive, fruitful and Elvis was confident in the material.
I saw Elvis sing It's Now Or Never at the Cow Palace on November 28 1976, and was thrilled when he sang it, as it has always been one of my favourite songs his voice was amazing and the fans kept quiet until the end, as they really appreciated it.
Daly City cow palace?? I was literally born like 2 miles from there and it still exists today if that's the one you're talking about. It's dated AF but it's still there 😅
@@user_abcxyzz Yes, there is only one "Cow Palace." I lived out in San Francisco in the mid-1980's and knew of its history. San Francisco is not known for Republican politics, but their Presidential nominating conventions were held there both in 1956 and 1964 (President Dwight Eisenhower and Barry Goldwater respectively).
This was my first Elvis concert it was magic when they started playing the intro you can hear people gasping it was magic electrical with all the flashbulbs going off then there he was boom
I wasn't old enough to go to a elvis concert but if I was I guarantee you I would of went. Love elvis always Elvis was always fantastic no matter what he did or where he was @ or what he was doing.
I got to go to a concert around 71 or 74 his concert I went too was fanastic his voice was on point he it them high notes thanks Dave enjoy your channel
I expect Elvis changed how he performed "its now or never" possibly influenced by his backing singers in the stamps quartet and also Sherrill Nielson's influence. They probably played around in jam sessions after when they got together. I love that he would take that risk and go for that high note regardless on whether he could hit it all the time.
Very terrific review.. Thank you for all your hard work and effort and time that you spend on keeping Elvis's memory alive. And for the most part in a very good light. But then again it would be hard to do anything else if one is being honest 😊
I was born in 66 and this was what my dad played repeatedly. Elvis and some Johnny cash. But at least 80% Elvis. I also remember light my fire and all the Beatles coming from my mom. By I was around 4 whe I discovered a band called sweet and Winchester cathedral. It was all incredible for a little bitty kid. But at 5 I discovered The Who!!!
I only lived 60 miles from Cincinnati but had no car or money to see him. Biggest regret of my life! When he came to Dayton I was raising 5 kids so another missed opportunity. My husband had seen him in Columbia SC years earlier,so I couldn't talk him into taking me.
Funnily enough, my favourite elvis 71’ concert was the day before this one, Nov 10 , “like a black Tornado”. The album cover of that was an amazing pic of Elvis also. I don’t listen to his 71’ performances as much as I do with other years, but I just remember his medleys on the Nov 10 performance, being awesome..
Absolutely BRILLIANT 👏❤. Thx the fans who have the incredible joy attending at these concerts and filmed & recorded this history moments for all of us 🫶. God bless you and our king 👑⚡❗
Hi David ♥ Great video. I feel the same as you, when i was a kid I loved young Elvis, then i thought his voice was beautiful when he made kid Galahad. Now i appreciate the 70's Elvis and the power in his voice. Thank you David as always xxx 💝
I love the comparisons! Elvis's voice throughout the 70's just got better and better! I feel the way you do, i like his 70's better than his 60's records! Must have something to do with age lol
I like the studio recording the most - Elvis' impeccable young strong voice sounds there, he just sings and proves nothing. And in these late performances, he tries to take higher notes - I can still, I'm still capable of it
David, I agree with you that Baltimore was an exceptional concert performance by Elvis, for my money it’s simply one of his VERY best ever. I clearly think as well that Joyce Bova’s attendance at the show and members of her family played a part in Elvis’s positive mood and performance.
@@patriciamariepistocco3381 honestly, there are too many to list. I mainly prefer his stuff from 1969-1977. As far as earlier material, ‘Fool Such As I’ ‘I Need Your Love Tonight’ & ‘Don’t’ are my favorites.
I also love the seventies songs a lot. I’m always looking for different versions (takes, etc) of Elvis songs to listen to and record. His voice to me is so unique because of the quiver in his voice in so many of his songs. Chills!🙂Love your channel!
Thank you David for showing us these rarities and also for showing us the differences by explaining them like anyone else! I love Elvis whatever he sang in any way. But since I've been following you, while you're giving us these explanations, I understand certain differences better and therefore I appreciate certain performances better than in the past. Thanks again and have a nice day.
Absolutely correct, some incredible performances and film that year, so sad no professional footage available yet again. A huge standout for me was a fantastic You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling from Houston November 12 where his stage antics amuse the band, and there is 3.15 minutes of it. Audio not brilliant so I use Boston soundboard November 10 and That's The Way It Is film for completion.
I love 1971 shows in particular as well! Your one of the only people I know, that notices how Elvis's voice was different sometimes. Even from year to year I can pretty much tell what year it is just by hearing a song! His voice was always awesome, but some periods were, like so unbelievably great , that I can't stop listening to him over and over! I'm like that for 1971! My 2nd favorite might be '69 maybe!? But I really do love every year!! Another great video!!!🙂👍 "It's Now or Never " is one of my favorite songs, and I really love comparing the different versions too! I do that with all his songs.lol😄 It's really so much fun for me to do whenever I can!
My girlfriend's parents were at the Boston Garden show...They still talk about it to this day (Why would they not?) They say the show was phenomenal. Sadly the original Boston Garden was torn down in '95. The 1 thing they keep mentioning how their '70 Plymouth Roadrunner was stolen that night right outside.
Love these intricate uploads. If I could go back in time and attend one concert, I'd select from 1971. He still had many aspects of 1970 while elements of 1972 were already creeping into 71. So we had the best of 3 years. But then again I'd also want to attend 74 and 75 concerts 🤫. Oh and 69 too. I give up !! It's easier to choose a year to skip. That'll be 76 for me.
I’m glad! I think I would pick 1971 too for the reasons you mentioned. You can see from the thumbnail pic that he was still very youthful/healthy looking and ready to rock!
Great show!! Only problem, Elvis was wearing black, the band was wearing black and when the lights were dark..........you could not see anything on the stage. Although a beautiful suit, the black fireworks, unless you were sitting really close, you could not appreciate it. With all the black suits I suppose. Great footage as always!
@@ElvisistheMan_ Oh man I wish I was there!! I was born in 71. Just saying, that this show and maybe one more that I know of Elvis and the band all wore black. Now if the Colonel wasn't such a tight a$$ and paid money for screens it would be OK, but in a huge arena .......all black on stage, especially when the lights are turned down.........I feel sorry for the people in the high tiers. Even though I love when Elvis wore black costumes, looks SO cool!! Favorite of all is the Red Burning Love though
It's now or never really sounds operatic Italian style, like Elvis's fellow singer Mario Lanza. It seems elvis did appreciate having a supportive lady in his life And his music shows that
The Joyce Bova period was so good for Elvis and his energy levels. Such a shame they didn't work out and she had an abortion. She must have been quite strong to get through this. Elvis was so committed to his career.
I guess it's a part of that--what did you call it once?--that "Bolva Bounce"? I guess inspiration comes from wherever you can find it. No pun intended. ;-P
He was Just the "World's Greatest Entertainer" period.
Omg he hit it better then he did in the 60’s. That note!! How he sang any notes in 77 when he could not even breathe was craziness
I'm 36 and have only recently come to appreciate EP as a gem from the heavens
Elvis' 71 tour was Electrifying ⚡
Elvis had it all in spades, RIP Elvis, we live you 🌹💯🙏🏼❤️
David thanks just a very great song, all versions. I appreciate your work and words. Rose 🌹
And that voice I hear it every day in my car, thru Sirius radio. Elvis radio.
Just brilliant!!
Who would have thought when Elvis started out he would end up singing such powerful songs.
His voice was pure gold.
Thank you for sharing this video.
That voice at the very start....goose bumps....he looked different, sounded different, acted different than anyone else
Always the KING!!!!!
O' sole mio...a song from Naples famous in all the world thanks to his beautiful voice. ❤️❤️🇮🇹
Great work on Elvis Presley
Such a strong voice Elvis loved hitting the high notes.I think he would've made a great opera singer

Elvis could have sung Opera if he was trained. He had the pipes for it!
I love all the versions. He was so out of breath in ‘77 though. It’s heartbreaking.
I'm with you. In later years, his range was oh so fantastic!! Still unmatched. THE G.O.A.T. for sure. My man!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
By '75, Elvis was hitting notes like that on nearly every song. To me, 1975 was Elvis' vocal peak.
1960-65
@@MarkRogersVOCFB 1960-1972, Then the quality of singing began to deteriorate

Should have GONE to.
Very similar to the 77 versions. Elvis doesn't get enough credit for diversifying working on his voice and extending his vocal range.
The Joyce Bova period was so good for Elvis and his energy levels. Such a shame they didn't work out and she had an abortion. She must have been quite strong to get through this. Elvis was so committed to his career.
I have quite a bit of footage from the November 1971 tour. It's all amateur footage but still pretty good.
