Elvis Presley - Melancholy Piano (a very special moment caught on film in 1970)

- Elvis alone at the piano. He seems lost in the music.
This is from the rehearsals for his August/September 1970 Las Vegas engagement filmed by MGM for the film "Elvis: That's the Way It Is".
The footage is edited (looped) as not all has been released however the audio is correct and shows him playing "I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen" and then segues into "My Wish Came True".

First, do you folks understand how much practice (time) you have to put into learning these musical instruments (piano/guitar). Then you have to become much better than just knowing how to play but to play to an audience without mistakes!!!!!!!!! Elvis was a poor kid, dirt poor raise partially by a single Mom, his Dad went to prison for a short time....in the depression and WWII. He had a dream and he followed it.....Hats off to the guy! God Bless!
You know he played only by ear - he could not read sheet music. He could play Piano, guitar, bass, drums, bongos, accordion & tamberine! 😳
If you have a good ear for music you can pick things out on the piano with little practice. I play by ear myself found it much faster way to learn piano.
@@jamesg2079 James, not so many people have that ability....good for you! Keep at it, you have a talent I always wish I had.
@@tmcge3325 I didn't know I had that ability until I start messing about on a piano one day and I was able to pick out the notes from a song called Bells of the Lullaby. So never think you can't or won't have that ability until you try as it takes little practice and in time you'll be able to play by ear/eye and hand movement movement
@@jamesg2079 I own piano, my son plays....well, he did play. I am old....I enjoy listening! Good for You!
Elvis was so much more than he was allowed to be. Much sadness from him in this piano piece.
Plus his 'well see you guys tomorrow 'sounded so melancholy I love that he was just lost in the moment of playing I hope he had many moments of oneness where he was at peace with himself his music and his world
Biggest star in the world sitting playing piano with the guys who are clearing up.So humble.
@Ep Shan why should he . He pays the men to clear up. You don't have a dog and bark yourself.
What was amazing here was that he played by heart and never took a lesson and yet the talent was undeniable.
Couldn't even read sheet music.
@@kelliintexas3575 what's even more amazing is that 45 years after his passing were still talking about him.
@@kelliintexas3575majority of people who play instruments cant read music.
I mean Paul Mcartney cant either for example. And he plays everything except wind.
He's playing the old Irish song "I'll take you home again, Kathleen". It's amazing how Elvis was influenced by so many different genres, he loved them all and took them all on board to create his own unique style.
That doesn't sound like that song to me.
@@SaphireBlue-qc4uu That's exactly this song
Absolutely incredible.
He took a little music from church, a little bit from his neighborhood, and a little bit from his family. The rest is history. 💗🙌
"No-one, but no-one, is his equal, or ever will be. He was, and is supreme.”
Elvis was a Genius, not only he had the best voice ever but he could play the piano and the guitar very well.
Don't forget bass.
@@donn409 Exactly, he improvised it in Baby, let's play House.
And the ACCORDION, bass guitar, drums & bongos
@@donn409 & ACCORDION, bongos & drums
@@RafaelAlivtres ELVIS IS DOING THE BASS ON :::::::::: YEAH ::::::: "BABY, I DON´T CARE" - ELVIS PRESLEY - THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE!
That is so beautiful he could have been a great pianist
He played the drums pretty well also. So much more to him. He deserved so much more credit.
He was or is so talented he was way ahead of his time
Elvis Presley ❤️
So precious when he realizes he has just been recorded and he looked a little bashful! The playful little ending and then the wave goodbye. I hope wherever he is, alive or dead, he is happy and singing to God. I hope to hear him sing when I get to heaven. Wouldn't that be cool? Hearing the King of Rock and Roll singing to the King of Kings??
AMEN!!! HALLELUJAH!!!! See you there Kathy! If I get there before you, I'll save you a seat!!
Oh ja, wie versunken er spielt. Bis er bemerkt, dass er gefilmt wird. In diesem wunderschönen, männlich attraktiven Körper steckte die verletzliche Seele eines schüchternen Menschen.
Elvis war einfach wundervoll.
Ich hoffe auch, ihn irgendwann zu treffen, hinter dem Regenbogen...🙏🏼🌈🕊🌟
Danke, dass Sie dieses kostbare Video geteilt haben.
What a legend
THAT WAS SO WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL !!!!! THANK YOU ELVIS !!!
Beautiful Elvis... 💛
Elvis's piano playing is so relaxing. I can listen to it for hours. 👌👌👌🎼💋🌹🧿❤️
@@aileen9553ну простите ,каждому свое!Сердцу не прикажешь .Вам здоровья.
Just Special this Moment ! Very Beautiful 😍
so beautiful!!!
Beautiful playing piano. Doing everything. Love his shirt
Thank you Elvis.
Elvis the King of modern music and singing!
that was special. ....seeing him playing the piano.....so grateful for the videos like this.....
Didn't know he could play piano ...absolutely beautiful....
The last song he performed in Rapid City, SD on his last tour was Unchained Melody and he plays the piano. ❤️😢
This is Elvis playing an improv of "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen" - an Irish song. He has recorded this song - just his voice and him at the piano - it's beautful.
Is there anything that this gorgeous man can’t do??? He is God’s total perfection!!!
Non mais calme toib
There will never be another like him. I believe that some people are the chosen ones. And he was one of them.
So beautiful….
He plays the piano so beautiful
Wow Elvis is also a legend on singing and I just know that he is also talented on piano too
He was an extraordinary talented artist!
anna maria facchiano
anna maria facchiano whos more handsome tom cruise brad pitt or elvis???
Wayne Mathews Elvis hands down
JUST BEAUTIFUL
A TRUELY REMARKABLE MAN/TALENT. I SURE AM GLAD I LIVED DURING HIS LIFE,I MISS HIM,BEYOND ALL POSSIBILITIES,SO SAD!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ELVIS PRESLEY - THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE! ---- to the Universe!
I love you Elvis. 👍 Tomorrow is my birthday. And best wishes to all Elvis fans.
RIP Elvis. you are so loved.
He was amazing. Wish he was here. 😊 😊 Makes me happy when I'm down.
Eliv, we all music lovers around the world, forever miss you!! You were ONE of a kind.
I love this.....so talented. ...
Bellissimo e tristissimo video del grande RE. Il suo saluto finale mi mette angoscia . Qui mi sembra che era dedicato a lui da un suo amico
A lovely serene moment. If only he could have had more peaceful moments like this maybe he would still be with us today. Thanks for uploading the vid. :)
It is just a little bit of magic.Who cares if the editing is not what it should be.Its a lovely little bit of heaven which is where this guy is now hopefully watching this with his mam.
There were nights when his frievd jerry said Elvis would be up singing and playing gospel music all by himself. Lisa also said he would sing and she could hear him upstairs in her room. She said she loved it cause daddy would sound so beautiful.
@@gracieg7601 lovely to think of this actually taking place. He was such a decent man taken far too soon. 👑
Have not seen this and how good was he ,you would have thought that he was on his own, no hangers on no blood suckers just him and his music and people packing away,he looked thoughtful but peaceful. Thank you 😊
Solemn and beautiful as he ♥️
Whenever it was, beautiful, would loved to have been able to play
Piano like Elvis !!!!
I wish we could turn back a time 🥺😭
So beautiful..... LOVE end LOVE Elvis
So much talent!! Elvis will always be the best.
Beautiful just beautiful.
Elvis is just lost in just own little world here, just immersed in the music. He,s caressing those keys so softly , up and down the scale so effortlessly just like a concert pianist would do.
The songs I heard were, I will Take you home again Kathleen and the melody of a very old hymn, which I can't think of its name unfortunately, I wil be true has a very similar melody To it though.
There is no doubt about it Elvis could play many instruments, but his piano playing doesn't get enough credit. He was also great at tinkling the ivories boogie woogie style too, but this performance just blew me away.
The saddest thing I heard in the video was Elvis saying, well I'll see you tomorrow or whenever, that brought tears to my eyes. This is 1970, gone are the crazy days of shenanigans and parties, Elvis had past that and the mm guys didn't like it. I read where Elvis said, the only time he saw the guys were to take him to and from a concert, or rehearsals, that's sad. JD even said all Elvis would do after a concert was sing gospel till early hours of the morning, no women or wild parties as mm guys had us believe.
What a joy,it would have been to listen to Elvis playing piano, it seems as though its easing his mind and relaxing him .
Thanks for the upload.
I think that's why he had them in almost every room at Graceland. Even in the racket ball court building. Seems so he could play, sweat, then unwind at the piano its self. Rather then collapse on a floor or across the bed after a shower like me or you would.
Wow 😱 he play's the piano with feeling I can feel it so strong thanks for sharing this. GOD BLESS ELVIS, YOU, AND EVERYONE🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵💙💙💙
@@aileen9553ну мы вас поздравляем ,и что дальше?!
I actually love this video.....thanks Elvis!
❤️Elvis Presley!🎶
I have not seen this before, to see Elvis playing the piano, how musically inclined and inborn! He will be forever loved. ❤ From A Nashville Girl (MUSIC CITY USA PROUD!)
Elvis was extremely amazing beautiful man he could sing anything God he was so talented and natural amazing man he really blessed us all with his music and love for people.. God bless elvis beautiful soul rip . ❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏
A special moment with Elvis.
Aw looks lost in a moment ... he was very talented alot underestimated him except devoted Elvis fans he was a beautiful man and Happy Birthday to him as today is the 8th January 2022
Lovely piece of Elvis playing piano , thanks so much Johnkult
Elvis aveva un talento a 360 grad!!! Era bravo, bravissimo, è difficile raggiungerlo. Lui e nessuno altro!!!!
This man was so talented.He had it all.Except a happy life.
Maybe thats the forfeit for such talent??? If so...how sad......no one else like him♥️💔😢
Was anything this wonderful man could not do love him so muchxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Elvis playing like a concert pianist.
PRICELESS
He was a great genius and super spiritual soulful man. Evil entertainment tried to hide who he really was.. He never backed down from singing gospel playing piano around his crew. He did things that perplexed people.
anytime Elvis playing an instrument is precious, not enough footage of him as the musician he was. Many thanks!
Not just anyone can teach themselves to play the piano or the guitar, but ELVIS DID!!!!!!!!
I think he learned very young cause his cousin Billy smith said the family piano was at his house cause they had room. When they had family gatherings Elvis would play and they would all sing. His mother also played and so did Billy smiths mom.
You hear that often from many big stars - self taught and/or the entire family was musical (like Glen Campbell’s) and they learned from each other.
@@danc3693 Church had ALOT to do with that. My Mom was raised United Pentecostal (Elvis was Pentecostal) they play ALOT cause they feel close to Jesus praising him. The old timers don't watch TV so they sing and worship together for fun. And kids remember from the repetitive sound. My mom also played by ear 💗
Mi bello Elvis maravilloso 😍🤩😍😍 que bonito que bonito escuchaar como tocas el piano vales para todo mi bello 🤩😍😍😃 te amooo siempre
Beautiful
Wonder what he was thinking while playing. He looks so at peace with himself and his surroundings.
He was happy ok the early 70s. He was happy with wife avd daughter. They were all together in the home. They were in the hills outside of LA. They had a nice home in LA and had the baby child with them. They had just had it remodeled.
He looked like he was concentrating on playing the song. What I wanted to see is videos of him singing and playing the piano alone in the music room in Graceland. He did it often. Jerry schilling said he’d be asleep and he could hear Elvis sitting in the music room at Graceland playing the piano and singing gospel songs.
And Lisa said she’d be upstairs and she would hear daddy playing the piano and singing all alone. She said it was beautiful. No one ever videoed it cause they didn’t take many pics inside Graceland unless they had company. She did say she wished she had done at least a recording but she was so young she was used to daddy doing that. She didn’t even think of it. Can you imagine how beautiful that?
That’s what I thought.
Elvis also played the BONGOS, DRUMS, ORGAN, BASS GUITAR & the ACCORDION.
Beautifully played.....so sweet and comforting to listen to.
RIP, EP ❤
Yes..ELVIS was in the Spirit..🙏🏻✝️♥️
A moment, that's special , thank you
Love it.
soo wonderful what a talent, did not relaise he cd play piano, thought just guitar, what a joy to find xxx
very nice love it
Magnífico maravilhoso eterno perfeito inimitável adoooooooro Elvis para todo sempre 💕
My special night with elvis 👍 he just so gorgeous love elvis forever x a big fan in Ireland 🇮🇪 loves you elvis forever x ☓ 💜 ❤️ 2019
WOW! He played the piece beautifully with so many feelings. But what else would you have expected? Elvis was and is Elvis. Phantastic musician and man. ❤😂
he just love it .
Johnny Cash once commented that in the early days, Elvis was an extremely accomplished rhythm guitar player, but somehow gave it up.
Elvis never considered himself a good guitar player. He knew he could hire better players than he was. That’s where james burton and some of the others came from.
@@gracieg7601 Exactly. Elvis was competent enough on guitar to accompany himself when singing in the early days. Elvis’s real genius and gift was his vocal abilities and his artistic ability at interpreting the song.
THE KING!
Elvis played piano (already in 1957).. but he always thought he would never be good enough to perform LIVE-playing on stage.... but home at Graceland on a party etc.
Elvis learned to play oboe-reed, guitar (acoustic/electric) and piano (without classical education).
The classical education that Elvis received was "just" opera-singing started with "It`s Now Or Never" and made him such a very powerful singer in every vocal range.
It’s now or never was one of my very favorites.
Me encanta este video es encantador como toca todo concentrado gracias por subirlo.
beautiful love it beautiful Elvis
Que lindo ver o. ELVIS tocando piano...💋🥀🥀🌷🌷♥️♥️🎤🎤🎤🎆🎆🎵🎵🎶🎶🎁🎁💋🥀🎙🎼🎼⚘⚘🍧
Hermoso :')
Perfecto...
it not fake!! he actually recorded this its i'll take you home kathleen like kurt said, its a very old song he learned from his mom, elvis is very gifted he played several instruments very well, thanks for sharing, love elvis on the piano
This IS fake. They stretch 40 seconds of Elvis on piano to 2 minutes. Lookt the film "jump" at 1:18. This happens like four times. Part is real but it is FAKE and spliced to be something it isn't.
@@shigsho There is no faking involved. There is some looping of footage due to that MGM hasn't released all of it. The audio is real from this "session"
Loved Elvis' brilliantly raw and untrained playing, What a guy!
You did a great editing job on this with the limited footage available - though it made Joe Esposito look extremely busy packing!! lol
Thumbs up!
ELVIS para sempre ... maravilhoso
ELVIS PRESLEY IS THE IN-RICHMENT FOR ALL OUR LIVES ON THIS PLANET! Imagine and notice just this one line of the NEW YORK TIMES in 1972 after his MSG-Concert(s) as the headline by world hard strong people reporters/journalists/bosses of the NEW YORK TIMES - (that they decide to use this headline!!!!) LIKE A PRINCE FROM ANOTHER PLANET! .... I feel sad for those people - they can´t feel the culture and art of ELVIS PRESLEY - THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE! Again I have to say: THANK-YOU-THANK-YOU-VERY-MUCH TO THE UNIVERSE FOR E L V I S P R E S L E Y !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Johnkult.... Ameeei o vídeo Parabéns! Obrigada! Amooo 💎💎💎ELVIS FOREVER KING💎💎💎 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I was waiting for him to start singing a gospel song
Thanks for this video, Elvis was playing I'll Take you Home Again Kathleen and My Wish Came True.
aw love love love love!!!! HES AMAZING. at everything. love u so much elvis, i'll take u home again kathleen. beautiful, he always loved that song!!!!!!!!!!! so happy about this clip, thanks for posting. and instant fav!
Pieces of "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen", a very nice song he already played several times informally and finally recorded later some years later: I'll take you home again Kathleen - Elvis Presley
Элвис феноменальный талант и труженик! Освоить игру на гитаре и пианино, вокал и прочие тонкости музыки не имея специального образования мог только одаренный Богом человек.
amazing
This was s Beautiful moment caught on film of Elvis playing at the piano....
"I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen,
ending with a segment of, "My Wish Came True". Precious indeed. A rare
favorite of this Magnificent man..
🎹🎶🎶♥️♥️💞♥️♥️
Elvis was playing I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen and yes, the last part My Own true Love.
Beautiful lady Mell
´Precious Elvis the king
like Elvis says....Oh Lord ...
