I'm back for the 19th time, Seph you forgot to pinn your E playlist comment.
This one is now pinned i think?
@@SephPlays Yepp.👍
If you haven't done the 1968 come back videos, I would love to watch you do If I Can Dream and challenge you not to cry. You will lose lol. I watched it so many times that I should be tired of it but it won't happen. I love Elvis and all he stood for. I cried for days when he died. I watch David Phelps ALMOST as much as I do Elvis. He sings some Elvis too. If you ever watch his video doing Elvis please read what he pinned first. There will be a new respect.
@@susanodell4538 well it didn't make me cry but i have reacted to it. Need a link?
And now you understand how Elvis fans have stayed true to him all these years.
I definitely see it... i found out the hard way!
I love that you cried. Finally someone reacted the way Elvis deserves. ❤❤❤❤
The pure emotion that this man puts into his words is just overwhelming. He deserves much more then i can express! He's a Freakin legend!
Indeed, that’s what he did to his fans.
@@karenestep1878 I'm starting to see it 😊
You my friend took me back to when I saw Elvis on TV for the first time. I laughed and cried. That’s how he affects his true fans to this day. All the live performances are phenomenal. I get goosebumps every time I hear the low tones and the transition in his voice when he hits the high notes. I know you are exploring his career in chronicle order. The Los Vegas live performances are iconic. The 1968 comeback special will blow your mind. Love your emotional reaction.
“I reckon that this man…I don’t know what he is…but he’s not human.” 😂
Seph, I LOVE your completely vulnerable and joy-filled reaction. Elvis is the only person that is not family or friends whom I have wept for missing. There is just something about that man that makes one love him as if he were family.
There is a saying “If you’re an Elvis fan, no explanation is necessary; if you’re not an Elvis fan, no explanation is possible”. I feel sorry for those that don’t know and connect to the magnificence of Elvis. He is so special and I have loved him my whole life.
I feel sorry for the ones who stop after only hearing a handful of songs when theres hundreds of amazing songs hes sung!!
I'm not prompted to comment a lot, but have to say that this is the most genuine & heartfelt reaction to the world's greatest entertainer & interpreter of music. Elvis Forever ❤❤❤
Janet thank you ever so much for your comment. This man has honestly changed my life!
Indeed
As a constant consumer of this massive trend of reactions channels, I can absolutely agree with your comment. He never fails to bring me to tears. Honestly it's kind of relieving to see I'm not the only one ugly crying😂
I was so lucky to see him twice in concert. Absolutely fantastic. He was truly a gift from God. He had it all, looks, voice, charisma, and undoubted the best entertainer of all time. There will never be another like Elvis.
@@gaylastephens7509I am so envious, what an absolutely, amazing experience it must have been, to see Elvis in concert, only in my dreams!!!
Probably THE best reaction I have ever seen. Do not apologise, ever! This is what Elvis does - he sings to your soul.
This has effected me on a very very deep emotional level! Loved every second!
@@SephPlays You always do a great job at your reactions Seph. There are many Elvis songs that still gets me. I would check out the album From Elvis In Memphis - it's a masterpiece.
I will definitely! ❤️
❤❤ Absolutely love your reaction! I try to listen to Elvis every single day. Thank you!
@@colleenschwartz3266 The man is just pure talent 😍
No one will ever come close to this great man 💕
OMG! You will love Elvis’s voice more and more and cry until his last recordings. He is the best. When you are touched by Elvis it is for life. ❤
Its only just started to dawn on me how fantastic he got!
It's so hard to put it into words, isn't it!? It's like when Elvis' voice soars he takes your heart along with it. Pure magic
He could sing a freaking dictionary and it would have gone platinum 😍
@@SephPlays Have you listened to American Trilogy yet from the Aloha From Hawaii concert? Absolutely outstanding!
That is so true..
All live, man. A real band of real musicians. Something you dont get today. Masters of their craft every one of them. No ridiculous choreographed bullshit or auto tune masking the fact that the act cant sing. This is what we used to have. Real talent and Elvis was the best of them. You're actually right too, he wasn't human, he couldn't be. No human has ever had those looks, charisma and talent. He never died, man...he just went back home. Great reaction, thankyou.
I think this proves just how good of a singer he was and why he is still dearly loved by millions of people world wide!
Indeed! And these days that spans in every area...
Don't you dare apologise, you are with all our lifetime fans now. He was and always will be the greatest of all time, no one comes close. I Love You Elvis
No one comes remotely close to Elvis. theres just no comparison!
You would not be Human unless you react from when Elvis leans into the emotions, by shivers goosebumps, or tears !!!
Can you now understand the emotion of his audience? I saw him live twice ( at 12 yrs and 15) both times, I cried it was such a beautiful experience, one I'll never forget❣I turn 63 this year, he is forever my favorite of all time~ NO ONE COMPARES❣❣❣ You are hooked now~ forever😍
I’m jealous
I think the Jealously is real! I cant believe you got to actually see him, You are soooooooooo lucky :')
You are so blessed, i'm jealous!
@@ruthsimon7035 I know right!?
You are very blessed! I wish I could have seen him ❤
Omg Seph!! I'm crying with you, please don't apologize for crying over an Elvis song!! His beautiful voice and the emotion he sings with gets me every time. Elvis was a gift from God I really do believe. Love your great reaction!!! Thank you so much
@Kathy Walker
I totally agree, Kathy.
It feels so good to see someone who feels Elvis as we Elvis fans do.
I NEARLY didnt post this video because of the embarrassment of how it made me cry :( I just couldnt help it. Seeing him and hearing him was overwhelming :'(
@@SephPlays we're glad you did post it!!
I love his reaction too! This reaction of his is iconic... that’s how Elvis fans feel...
"I've never been this happy in my life"
You truly get it and now understand the power of elvis. I'm a 47-year-old guy who has been infatuated with his entire life my entire life. It's sad that most people think he just sang hound dog then had a miserable life of drugs and then died. Very common misconception. He was an incredible talent and lived an insane and generous life. Every celebrity who ever met him said he was the most incredible looking human being they had ever met and a lot of them even said you could have your back to the door and when he entered and you coud physically feel his presence. There is so much more you have to see! Check out the song If I Can Dream from the 68 Comeback special.
You passed the test. A real Elvis 's fan.
Elvis is just the greatest ever, no one can come close.
Elvis live is EVERYTHING!
Elvis is and always has been everything :D
Elvis’s voice was assessed as a perfect baritone, with his ability to cover 3 octaves, he was phenomenal. Elvis would conduct every aspect of every song he sang making each song his own. Great reaction Seph. Elvis does that to us all 👌🕺💕
His voice is just truly on another level at this point... I didnt know :'(
Glad you covered that. And his transitions in each where smooth and with a nutural ease.
All said you were very aware of his presence. Even had a step brother who worked with him said, if Elvis walked in, he knew he was there without hearing or seeing him. That’s an anointing on one.
And this is live I. The 70 s. No tech stuff. It's his true voice. Stars today can't sing live like this
Just to be clear... love your reactions man.. honest and clear.. perfect.. will be back!!
I have only just seen your reaction to this. I would love to watch Elvis with you we could cry together.
I don’t usually comment but that’s what I call a reaction
Its a performance i will never forget!!
Someone once said that God was showing off when he made Elvis. I believe that nails it! I promise you won’t find a better rendition of this song, EVER! Even the original said he couldn’t beat his version.
Love it!!!!
You're truly one of us now as you know how we feel about Elvis. He makes us cry and he makes us laugh; we love him and we know that he loved us. What more could you possibly want from someone?
I love everything about Elvis, but, personally, I think his peak years were from 1968 to 1974.
Going to be honest! I didnt completely understand why everyone was hyping up 1968 to 77 so much...... But now i get it.... I just wasnt prepared!
You’ve yet to see and hear the pinnacles… this is the tip of the Elvis iceberg👌💕🕺
Im both scared and happy to hear this!
OMG!!!! SEPH!!! I'm grinning from ear to ear CRYING!!!!! This is why we cant wait for you to get to 68 plus and LIVE!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
WHAT A TREAT THIS IS!!!😊
Don't be sorry- BEST-MOST GENUINE-BEAUTIFUL REACT EVER!!!!
Please react to Elvis..KING OF KINDNESS
The emotions the man can bring out is just SCARY!
Elvis is beyond mortality.
far beyond!
This is Elvis at his absolute pinnacle Seph - and so glad you get the same feeling that we get every time we see or hear this.
By August 1970 Elvis was back on top, not just the king of rock 'n' roll, but now arguably the King of entertainment. The six shows filmed by MGM for That's The Way It Is show Elvis at the height of his powers. He had managed to combine the theatrics and bombast of Vegas and incorporate them in his show, which resulted in a performance that was almost as much Broadway as Las Vegas. Now Elvis had finally found a way in which to integrate all of his musical influences, and country music for example, finally had a place within the Elvis repertoire.
Probably the biggest influence on Elvis, and that closest to his heart was gospel music, and in 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' he found a song in which that influence could shine through. Whereas the original recording by Simon (the song's composer) and Garfunkel is somewhat subdued, Elvis turns it into a powerful showpiece.
This performance from 11 August 1970 Dinner Show, only the second time that he had sung it live, is Elvis Presley at his absolute peak, and anyone who hears this cannot possibly have any doubts as to his vocal prowess or to the magnificent entertainer that he had become. Many fans point to the performance at Greensboro Coliseum almost two years later, the rendition included in the 'On Tour' movie as their favourite. Whilst acknowledging that it is a fabulous performance it seems to lack the freshness of those from August 1970. The essence of those early renditions of the song is that it builds from very low key to an amazing crescendo at the climax but from 1971 this is lost because it the power comes at you from the outset. That being said, the climax to the 14 April 1972 version is absolutely incredible.
In his book 'Heartbreak Hotel' author and music critic Robert Matthew Walker writes of this performance:
'Presley's outstanding singing is not disguised; this is a fabulous version, burning with sincerity and power, and finding depths not revealed by it's composers'
It was widely written around this time that after after witnessing an August 70 rendition of the song in Vegas that Paul Simon said
'That's it we might as well all give up now'
although he has since denied saying those exact words.
However in Rolling Stone magazine interview:
Paul Simon later noted that Presley's rendition of his song was a "touch on the dramatic side." "But so was the song," he added. "When I first heard Elvis perform 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' it was unbelievable. I thought to myself, 'How the hell can I compete with that?'"
68 to 71 was his prime for me. He even did amazing studio albums during those years as well
Paul took his son to Graceland recently, and said " I stood there and wept".
Hi Leon, pal. How you are doing?
@@Aquarius69 I'm very well my friend - and you?
It is Wonderful to see that a new generation of people listening and loving Elvis like I do! I am an avid Elvis fan! I listen to his music daily!
That is why he is the KING. We'll love him forever ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very well said!!
As Elvis himself said at one of his concerts, there is only one king and he is Jesus ❤️🕊🙏🏻
Wow! What a reaction! I so enjoyed watching you have a near-breakdown - blubbering, sobbing, and gesticulating! I can so relate, and it is so gratifying to see your unabashed love and respect for this man who is preternaturally gifted. He stands as a god among mere humans. You are not alone, there are many worldwide who love him just as we do. Even though I only really ‘met’ Elvis last June, he has been in my heart and spirit every day since.
I'm glad i'm not the only one who gets emotional at Elvis! I have never felt so happy in my life!
Awww Seph this is why we love Elvis he is such a special part of our lives. I’m so glad this experience had this effect we totally understand. I cry to this day Elvis gives us goosebumps, tears, makes u laugh he’s incredible. TCB⚡️
I'm sooooo glad i'm not the only one who gets emotional at Elvis. I NEARLY didnt post this video because of embarrassment of how it made me cry :(
I love your reaction and never apologize when Elvis makes you emotional, that is the magic of Elvis! To me Elvis was a gift from God that we got to enjoy for a time and then he went home! I just can't get enough of him, he was pure talent! Those sideburns were in style then and they were called chops, I loved them on Elvis!
He really was one of a kind :(
You're not alone Seph! I cry over and over again at his performances like this! He touches your soul! You are just scratching the surface! He got better and better if you can believe that! And yes theres better! You have to watch "American Trilogy!" You will be reduced to a puddle!
Yes, lol. Many puddles to come!!
Totally agree! Especially the live version from Hawaii. Elvis in radiant splendor!! 😍🤩😘
So lovely to see someone with so much appreciation. Maybe your reaction is due to not seeing the 70s performances. He did get better as he got older in terms of bringing sheer emotion and tugging on the heart strings. God bless your heart ❤. There are many grest singers but this man was something else. Xxx
Yes, Sweet Inspirations, the male quartet is The Imperials and Soprano is Millie Kirkham. Great climax to this song. Elvis knew how to wring the emotion out and how to end a song x he has his rhythm musicians plus Joe Guercio and his orchestra. All live instruments!, in those days there were no in ear monitors or technology to make the artist sound better. Love how u appreciate every detail ❤
I dont think i can cope with anything better then this... I'm being serious!
My Mum is a huge Elvis fan and I never understood what she meant by “his voice gets better when he’s older” until a few years ago. I cry nearly everytime I hear this.
The meaning of the song is so powerful as well, it reminds me so much of Jesus and the cross being the bridge to The Father.
Elvis sings with so much emotion I understand why you cried. He gives me goosebumps
Scary good!
The King👑 women loved him,❤and men wanted to be like him⭐Elvis loved his fans,2nd most visited home in the USA ,,after the White House. That tells you something. Elvis the 1st Superstar ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the man sold over 1 billion records
Well, I officially love you and am ready to binge watch every one of your Elvis videos. YOU are literally ME. THIS is the way Elvis makes me feel, this is the emotion he brings out of those of us special enough to connect with him so deeply. So wonderful to see someone GET IT so much and give Elvis the recognition and reaction he deserves. It's hard to put into words the way Elvis makes us feel, but THIS reaction says it all. I'm so excited to have come across you and continue on your Elvis journey with you. Just wait, it just keeps getting better, and even when you have heard every song, seen every video, there will always be more to discover and enjoy. Elvis is the gift that keeps on giving, and he will be with you for life. True Elvis fans are forever ❤
Awwwwwwwwww 💜 what the heck Juliann!? Stoppppp it ☺️
Buuuuuuuuuuut please before you get toooooo far in please know that i do pause the songs a lot and talk a lot. I know this can be rather off putting for a few people.
I just really wanted to let you know 😅
@@SephPlays No way, it's not offputting to me at all!!! I love to hear comments on Elvis and his songs, that's what a reaction video is all about, watching and listening to people enjoy, that's what I'm here for!! And you are just such a joy to watch, you bring a huge smile to my face with every video, I'm so happy I have so many to get to see ☺️❤
@@SephPlays No way, your reactions are the reason I come back every day. You make my day no matter what you react to.
Many stars have come and gone, but E1vis is the whole universe and the big bang! The GOAT!
Couldn't say it any better myself!!
Well done for your openness and sharing. it's not taken for granted. Elvis is the truth. That divine melodious voice of his melts hearts. And trust me man ,you are not alone in this life journey with Elvis. Its forever!
I'm sooooo glad i'm not the only one who gets emotional at Elvis. I NEARLY didnt post this video because of the embarrassment of how it made me cry :(
Oh my word Seph! At last you're reacting to my request from many months ago! Thank you! Isn't he just the best singer and entertainer (and the best looking too!) His voice is phenomenal. Very nice reaction. 👍
I cry ALL THE TIME with Elvis!! There is something more there than music and song believe me, God is with him! He is a gift to us all who can see it. I enjoy your reaction so much because you are the same as all true Elvis fans! ❤🔥❤🔥Do you know how many are crying with you, lol! Just wait for it! There is so much more to come! And yes better! And yes it is all live music and singing! Amazing!!
I'm very scared of the future. This one effected me on a very deep emotional level so anything better or even half of this is going to ruin me :'(
@@SephPlays ruclips.net/video/bGarn033Nhk/видео.html
When I was 16 my mother took me to see Elvis in concert. Never have I been to a concert that can compare to Elvis. I have loved him since I was 6 years old and cherish getting to see him in concert. I had plans to see him in Las Vegas for my 21st birthday but unfortunately he passed away before. He still touches my soul every time I hear him. Thank you for showing your emotions. This is why still today he is still the King!
Steph, love this reaction. This is how he made us feel when we saw him on Black and white TV. In 1956. Love at first sight. Love forever❤Elvis makes me happy and sad at the same time.😢🥰💕
He always makes a song his own. Such talent.
Most amazing voice!!
Don't be sorry! I am crying right along with you. I just love you and your excitement over Elvis. This is why he is the King. He makes us nuts. I cry several times a day listening to him. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's hard not to get effected by him!
An American Trilogy is another great one you will really enjoy too! Elvis is amazing and his voice matured into something magnificent!
Oh my 😢 beautiful the way Elvis sings it he looks gorgeous but if its just audio his voice touches you. Aww Seph hugs 🤗 its Elvis magic
His magic is strong!!
@@SephPlays It gets stronger 😂
Made me cry too. I became a fan when I was 6...now I am 68....and he still rips my heart out.
This world may not be good enough for such a gentle-hearted man as you.
I agree. Seph is just a sweetheart.
Thank you for reacting to America's still, to this day, best singer that has ever come out of our country... hands down. Love Love your reactions!!!!
I absolutely adored this reaction Seph. When you said that you had never been so happy in your life, I was so excited for you. Now you know the power that this amazing man has and how he reaches our souls. I can't wait until you hear American Trilogy, Just Pretend, What Now My Love....I could go on and on. You will be truly astounded. ❤
...... If this man gets better or sings a better song then this im in DEEP TROUBLE!
Thank you Dianne
Seph, you had the same reaction that many of us had when we saw Elvis live in concert. I will NEVER forget going to see Elvis for the first time---when the entrance music began playing and he burst out on the stage everyone was crying even before he began to sing. Elvis affects people for many reasons, but I think God was showing off His glory when He created Elvis. Elvis always said that he believed his voice was a gift from God and never stopped improving on that gift. I actually believe his last filmed concert, which was in 1977, when he was struggling with many undiagnosable health problems, (you should read the book by Sally Hodel, Elvis, Destined to Die Young, she explains why Elvis aged so quickly between 1973-1977 and it was because of genetic issues. Some due to the fact that his maternal grandparents were first cousins) he sang some of his most powerful songs--Hurt, How Great Thou Art, and Unchained Melody (he plays the piano himself on this one). I wondered if someone was going to suggest Bridge Over Troubled Water because it really is such a beautiful arrangement of the song. Paul Simon , who wrote the song, said he didn't know how he would compete with Elvis after he heard him sing the song. However, you are in store for MANY, MANY more tear-provoking performances. I actually don't think this is his best 1970's performance--there are SO MANY!!! Also, Elvis directed his musicians on every song. He knew every drum beat, trumpet blast, and note. Eventually, you will see the rehearsal segment where Elvis is actually directing the backup singers as to when to come in and how he wants them to sing certain phrases. He was an amazing producer. It is the Sweet Inspirations singing with him. He still has the backup guys, too. I believe JD Sumner and the Imperials. And just wait til you see the unplugged session during the 1968 Comeback special. Thank you for your sincere and emotional reaction. What a gift music is to us, especially through Elvis.
.... You got to see him live!? Please can you tell me a little about that experience? I really want to know as this really does fascinate me! Lucky sausage :')
also thank you for this. I have ALOT to look foward too :D
I grew up in Florida and this was one of Elvis’s favorite places to come and perform. My mom saw him when he was just starting out in 1956 in St Petersburg. My dad was actually a bigger fan than my mom. He took me to see him first in 1974 and then again in 1976. We waited in line for hours for tickets in 1976, and when we were almost at the box office they said the show was sold out. You should have seen the crying-I mean people were sobbing. Then the next thing we hear over the loud speaker is Elvis has agreed to add a show--we were at the front of the line and were able to get near front row tickets.
Elvis came out to the 2001 Space Odyssey. He burst on the stage in a white jumpsuit and cape. I thought the show was wonderful! He seemed happy and totally with it-joking around with the audience and singing great. When he came toward our side of the stage I almost got trampled by girls rushing the stage-that was a bit scary. The women/girls really lost their minds-so focused on Elvis they didn’t notice anyone else around them. He brought up the lights at one point during the show so that he could see all of us out in the audience-he sang a short song about it being good to see us-I can’t remember the name right now. It was a memorable night-and I am so thankful to have seen him live.
Elvis in person is mesmerizing. I’m glad you are seeing the evolution of his career. While Elvis was doing movies he wasn’t allowed to do live performances. He missed being in front of audiences and when his contract in Hollywood was terminated he needed something big to boost his career. That’s when he did the 1968 Special. It was a master piece in its production. Every song from the jam session reflected Elvis the great entertainer. Very natural, relaxed, down to earth, beautiful and funny. You are in for a lot of crying. I can’t wait to see you. ❤
Absolutely amazing!!!!! He’s the best!!! Now you have made me cry!!!
The guy asked for a photo but the hotel didn’t want elvis to stop the show for photos
Oh Seph, you are so sweet! I feel the same when i hear this song! Goosepumps all the time and tears! ELVIS is simply amazing, he put all his feelings and emotions in every song! I love your reactions! Thank you so much for keep ELVIS legacy alive!
Thank you Ruth! This was a very very emotional video for me to record :'(
Seph, you are such a genuine soul. What a stunning reaction. I felt, finally, finally a reactor gets it. I felt understood, you literally showed how we Elvis fans feel, and have felt for years. This reaction brought me such joy, I laughed and cried together with you. I cannot wait for you to also - on top of all the other stuff - get into the 1970 rehearsals as well. You'll find that what you heard on stage was what Elvis first heard in his head and then made it all happen. He was so in tune with every voice and instrument on stage. I enjoy every Elvis reaction, keep on going chronological, we're all with you on this road of discovery and - through your eyes and ears - re-discovery. Bless your heart.
Genuine really is the word here. So many other reactions have fake emotions just to get click. Seph truly is so passionate
I was soooooooooooooooo close to not posting this video. My family have never seen this side of me and i have NEVER cried like this over a song in my life. The combination of seeing him older for the first time and hearing his matured voice really pushed me over the edge
I FINALLY UNDERSTAND what you guys have been telling me since i started a year ago. I have only ever heard baby Elvis and now i've had a taste of Elvis's future... Was not prepared!
We're just so glad that you appreciate & recognize, with us, the talent that he was & that he truly IS unmatched.
No one could match him!
Now you really feel it Seph, I've been an Elvis fan for 60 years and it still gets me like that,he shouldn't have been taken so early he was the best there is or ever will be.I just love the man.❤
Your love is completely understood!
ruclips.net/video/bGarn033Nhk/видео.html
Elvis is the best. The best voice there is.The King.
Elvis Presley is connecting God and your soul through this song.
Go beyond the song. We all need to hear this message.
WELCOME TO THE ELVISFAMILY❤
I'm proud to be in this Family :D
Elvis was a genius 💙 I’m crying with you. Very emotional performance. One of his finest live performances for me.
So incredible ♥️ This is definitely getting me hyped for future Elvis songs 😍
@@SephPlays I am so pleased for you
I have to confess that Elvis' music also brings tears to my eyes. So I identify with your reaction. It is as if his voice reaches the very soul and caresses it. I really liked your reaction. But for those of us obsessed with Elvis, your trip isn't even halfway done. You are missing almost all of his live songs, his rehearsals, specials and interviews with his musicians and people who lived with him. I have my own list with almost 300 Elvis videos.
Mike Handley, narrator & TV/radio spokesman, in the 'The Jim Bohannon Show', airing on 600+ radio stations on the Westwood One Network, said:
"When healthy and serious, he was flat-out the world's greatest singer. In his voice, he possessed the most beautiful musical instrument, and the genius to play that instrument perfectly; he could jump from octave to countless other octaves with such agility without voice crack, simultaneously sing a duet with his own overtones, rein in an always-lurking atomic explosion to so effortlessly fondle, and release, the most delicate chimes of pathos.
"Yet, those who haven't been open (or had the chance) to explore some of Presley's most brilliant work - the almost esoteric ballads and semi-classical recordings - have cheated themselves out of one of the most beautiful gifts to fall out of the sky in a lifetime.
"Fortunately, this magnificent musical instrument reached its perfection around 1960, the same time the recording industry finally achieved sound reproduction rivaling that of today. So, it's never too late to explore and cherish a well-preserved miracle, as a simple trip to the record store will truly produce unparalleled chills and thrills, for the rest of your life; and then you'll finally understand the best reason this guy never goes away."
I think he covered it. ❤️
About that suit, it was a Vegas invention. Elvis wanted to be seen on stage. He took advice from none other than Liberace on how to sustain an act in Vegas. Was it over the top? Absolutely, but It was Elvis so it was cool.
And if you don’t know who Liberace was, look it up. He was amazing in a totally different way than Elvis but they adored one another. They had a lot in common, including having an identical twin who died at birth.
Great reaction. Elvis touches souls. Sometimes it really doesn’t seem like he could have been human.
I disagree! His white suits weren`t over the top at all!
Elvis Presley is speaking to your soul...all around the World.
God is speaking here to the mouth of Elvis Presley.
Seph we miss you. I hope you are recovering from whatever ails you. I had to come back and watch this reaction because it's ONE of the best overall Elvis reactions EVER! Especially when you bleep out the swear words it just makes me laugh. Elvis doesn't look so bad either. I forgot how funny this was. "He's not human"
"I need a tissue ! " ( grabs a whole towel ) :DDD I'm glad I'm not the only one crying on this performance ! :)))
This is the best Elvis reaction ever.
I'll never forget how this made me feel!
👑✌️
You almost made me cry and you reminded me why I'm such an elvis fan. Absolutely brilliant steph. I have no words. I would advise you to carry on in chronological order just so that you see how he slowly reaches that peak level. You have so much to discover still
You Brandon are a true Elvis fan and i seriously Respect you for it! I understand now why you think so much of him now! I finally understand....
nothing is going to stop this journey im on now. I'm in for the long haul!
@@SephPlays I'm here for it. If you actually complete this chronological order journey it will be your greatest musical experience ever I'm sure of it
yes, it is actually a brilliant way to experience the evolution of this gifted man.
To think it was the short span of 23 years his comet graced the sky.
Your reaction nearly as amazing as this gorgeous man Elvis.... 💕💕💕💕 Made my day! Thank you Seph!
Nothing is as amazing as Elvis when he sings. He really is on another level!
@@SephPlays No doubt about it! You're pretty d a r n amazing yourself!! Keep up the great reactions. Thanks again!

This is one performance i will never forget 😊
I subbed to your channel mostly because or this reaction to Elvi's rendition to this song,I feel the same as you ,crying ,because ( imo) this version is the most beautiful one of this song Ive ever,ever heard,There will never be another Elvis in my book,I would love to see a live reaction to ' Take my Hand oh Precious Lord' if possible ❤Ty😢 In times of having panic attacks I sing this in my head to myself,as I have PSTD, its extremely soothing to my SoulThanks again❤
❤👑👑👑👑👑❤️
Elvis just always improved even though you think he couldn't get any better. The ladies are the sweet inspirations and the guys are the imperials. There's a guy that sings harmony with elvis called Charlie hodge.
Even to this day this song brings emotions in my that i cannot explain! Truly amazing
Greatest Ever ♥️🌹🙏💋💋💋💋💋💋🌹♥️
A celebration reaction can't be better than this!💚
🎉CONGRATULATIONS 🎉
I am happy that you are happy and that you made us happy!
Please don't stop the chronological order and the special videos! 🙏 Otherwise it's not good for your health as we all saw today.😊
I thank you so much for this beautiful experience!💚🌞
Thank you! I cant believe its been a year already!
Thank you ever so much for being here. It wouldnt be the same without you!

Saw some Elvis fans sharing this video around, and I am crying along with you! Elvis wanted an overwhelming sound for his live shows, every instrument and voice perfectly calibrated to match the emotion of each song. And his voice still cuts through it all and overwhelms you with emotional power. I can't imagine the pride you must feel after spending so much time with him in his early career. He never stopped getting better and making people happy. I can't imagine what it must have been like to see him in person. I've heard people say his voice rang through your bones.
No other singer has like him. He really was one of a kind!
I dare anyone to try to listen to a handful of his songs and feel nothing.
Hes an emotional force of nature!
Thank you for taking time out of your day Penvellyns to watch and comment ❤️
P.s
I love your name on here. Almost sounds welsh?
@@SephPlays And thank you for sharing your reaction with us! You're right, it's impossible to feel nothing when listening to him. His voice can be so calming or electrifying, whichever he wants!
P.S. Yes, it's Welsh-ish, it's a fictional name that's supposed to sound like an ancient English family. From a Nancy Drew book/game. No idea if it actually means anything!
Simon and Garfunkel said once they heard Elvis version asked how will we ever be able to sing this song again
The greatest Entertainer of All Times
Couldnt agree more!
The best Is yet to come so hang on tight.. your ride has just begun!
Listen to his “How Great Thou Art” from June 1977 concert six weeks before his death! You will just hear him singing to God. Also, “Unchained Melody.” In June 1977. You will hear his struggle to breathe, but he pours himself out. His voice NEVER failed him. It’s unbelievable.
I promise you that i will listen to these!
His lungs were damaged from alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, which was inherited. I read that all the males (and his mother) all died in their 40's and early 50's. I'm sure that bloating toward the end was caused by that disease. It affects the lungs and liver. He was very, very sick that last concert. You could tell he was struggling to breathe. One concert I saw he had to call for the spotlight to be turned off because it was so painful to his eyes from his glaucoma. He never disappointed his fans and that, in itself, is amazing with all he was dealing with. He was in pain, he couldn't sleep, he had digestive issues (megacolon). Yet, he touched us all.
Let it flow, brother. Let it flow...
Elvis & Seph are everything! I was waiting for you to react to this one. Maybe your BEST reaction yet!
Thank you Depper
Oh Seph, you have so much beautiful Elvis music to react to from the 70's! Elvis was rebirthed in 1968 (the 68 Comeback Special) and his run in Las Vegas 1970 through to the Aloha From Hawaii concert in 1973 was legendary. I can't wait to see you react to more of his performances from 1970, and definitely do American Trilogy (Aloha from Hawaii, 1973). It's absolute 🔥 🔥 fire. Your "S" list is going to get LARGE.
I have a feeling im going to need more room in my s rank haha
This was filmed during a live performance! ❤❤❤❤❤
You Now feel the King's magic , In your soul! & It'll be There forever!!!👑👍
I feel it ❤️
Wow! You're reaction to this is EPIC 🔥
I’m obsessed too and I love every minute of it!
👑❤️👑❤️👑
You have good taste in music 😊
I watch and listen to the king everyday. TX
❤❤❤
Even Paul Simon said that Elvis' version of this song was the best version. To me Elvis' version is hands down THE BEST version of this song and it hits me in the heart every time. I think knowing what an amazing, kind, generous human being he was just makes the lyrics ring so true
Welcome to the family Seph. Isn’t it absolutely incredible? Love your show.
No words can describe this man. He was a god among men!
Beautiful! You have so much Elvis greatness still to come!! His voice just got better and more mature as time went on.
Your reaction was so touching and real! Thank you!
Yes the Sweet Inspirations are the ladies in the back but he also had a male quartet called the Stamps too- as well as a full orchestra in the back and his main band on stage with him at every show. Created such a great sound with him.
I nearly didnt post this video.... Its made things far too real for me and i dont even know if i could cope with another song even half as good as this one.
Thank you for being here DD! You are far far too kind.
And thank you again for this! I thought it was the Inspirations but was only half certain!
This is the most moving reaction I have ever seen...it is a beautiful thing to possess such a pure heart as yours...what a privilege that you share it with us...
Miss Helene I humbly & sincerely agree with you 💜💖💜💖 Most touching reaction ever to anything, Elvis included.
This was truly an experience, and a very beautiful one at that.
I've tried leaving you a link before but maybe it will work again here: Elvis Presley "Danny Boy" first & only time performed live June 1, 1976 Community Center Arena Tucson, Arizona: ruclips.net/video/rxnmHaK1gIE/видео.html
TCB ⚡ & TLC ❤ & peace ✌& blessings 🙏 to you & yours 💕
Sorry to bother you, Miss Helene, but I just though well, just in case, you are not aware of her channel, to give you a link to her videos; Ashley's Adventures YT channel, she's an Elvis fan/ historian/ YT'er, and she was the very first Elvis YT'er that I subscribed to. More than that it was because of her videos about Graceland that made me fall in love with not just Elvis, but his home too: youtube.com/@ashleysadventures
Scroll through when you have the time. She does amazing research.
Too she's really into doing short videos right now.
Most Elvis fans know of her channel. But just in case you don't, well I thought why not?
Have a good night Miss Helene & a Wonder(Of You)ful Weekend 🌹💜🌹💜
@@sammy_the_uncool2702 thank you so much for the links!! I will def check them out. So awesome how much joy you get from sharing little Elvis "gems" with the rest of us. You are the personification of love💜💜💜
Aw, Miss Helene, you are too kind 💖💛 Honestly, why not share these "gems" of Elvis as you call them?
We all love Elvis and I know Elvis fans truly appreciate the lesser known "gems".
So are you, Miss Helene, absolutely the personification of love 💖💜💛💕
Thank you Helene!
Beautiful reaction! I’ve been obsessed my entire 57 years😂🥰♥️His big ol side burns were actually called MUTTON CHOPS! Lol
