  • The longer one of the two very intimate interviews Pierre Adidge & Robert Abel did with Elvis for the 1972 film "Elvis On Tour" - sadly only small snippets were used in the final product.
    The exact date or location of this interview isn't known but it was done sometime after Elvis' June tour but before his return to Las Vegas in early August, most likely in Los Angeles around July '72.

    I don't think most people realize just how much insight he had into so many subjects. He was so much more than just the image. We didn't just lose the greatest entertainer that has ever lived , but a genuinely humble , sincere person. He never took his fame for granted , or too seriously. He absolutely never forgot where he came from and I think one of the things that really stands out the most and forever will , was his love for his fans ! There will never be another entertainer in a thousand lifetimes that will have the relationship that he has ! When he died , a part of us died with him .

      William Abel this was an interview conducted by the director and producer of ‘Elvis on Tour’ 1972. I believe their names were Pierre Aldige and Abel. It can be heard intermittently throughout the first part of the film; subsequently on forums like RUclips. As for this preacher dude with the “uncanny” resemblance visually and sonically to Elvis, how the hell does this stuff propagate and continue to flourish with profusion all these years later? It is beyond my comprehension that people buy this stuff...smh.

I love that bit in the interview where he says he was not even aware of what his body was doing, the music just took over him. Seems like deep down he was a very shy, spiritual and humble man.

    Something people don't realize, because Colonel Parker kept him so isolated from the public and for that reason, Elvis was able to give few interviews, he really remained that same humble, soft-spoken person he was at the beginning of his career. His on-stage image became so over the top and flashy, that I think people believe Elvis also became gregarious. He didn't. All those around him said he never changed. I think this interview shows that. What a special man. What a loss to us. We love you, Elvis, and miss you

    • @synchronicity1470
      @synchronicity1470 Год назад +3

      yes. It must have been awful deteriorating those last 4-5 years. Things went down hard in the end.
      I think it was the 1973 betrayal of Parker, being taken for so much money & assets by Priscilla; his RCA music rights being sold; and then his dad firing Sonny, Red & Dave in 1976. They admitted writing the tell-all revenge book out of anger & bitterness. He died 2 weeks after that book came out & was due to start his summer tour. I heard Elvis was sick with worry abt what he would say if people confronted him about the salacious things in the book. It was the second lowest point in this beautiful man's life, after the death of his mama. Being betrayed by these lifelong boyhood friends he entrusted his life to must have cut him to the bone.
      I am sad all that happened. I am glad he and his family are now all together in peace.

      Actually, he began taking drugs in the 50s (speed) to stay awake while on the road. That progressed to uppers (or Benzadrine) to stay awake while on maneuvers in the Army. By the 1960s, Elvis experimented with harder stuff like Placidyls and by the 1970s he was taking Demerol and Dilaudid and even using liquid cocaine.

    • @tonytrout4321
      @tonytrout4321 8 лет назад +12

      Wrong. Elvis started taking stuff to stay awake while touring in the 1950s. And he also then began stealing his mother's medication. Don't believe me? Read "Revelations From The Memphis Mafia" - specifically read what the late Lamar Fike has to say about Elvis's drug usage. I think they know more than we all do.

      Along with Lennon's 1970 interview with Jan Wenner for Rolling Stone, this interview is certainly the most important interview from the entire Age of Rock. Towards the end, when he gets so introspective about his disillusionment with Hollywood, it is so personal, that one feels like one is eavesdropping on the most private thoughts of a mythic figure. If you read Guralnik's Careless Love, you learn the incredible serendipity and bravery (on Schiller's part) that went into this incredible document. @ 30:55, we begin to hear about the REGRETS of the biggest star in History, and one is left dumbfounded at the depth of his humanity.

      The part of your comment that really grabbed my attention was "No pretentiousness". Excellent point. This is something I myself often think about it. And it's something not often recognized about Elvis. In an industry like Hollywood business and Music / Acting industry it's LA LA LA Loaded with pretentiousness ...even most people in the industry know this. Yet Elvis, the most famous person of his era, was well known to be one of the least pretentious people in the industry.
      His down-to-earth genuine humility wasn't just an act. He was so legitimate and real that some people in the industry that met him actually gave interviews saying of all the other celebrities they encountered throughout their own careers, Elvis always remained one of the genuinely kindest coolest people they ever had the pleasure of talking with.
      No pretentiousness.

    I was in the middle of a comment when something stopped my tablet. I read this for the first time yesterday. I thought about it all night. I don't usually make comments. However there was a lady that talked about Elvis's use of drugs. We knew. He was a beautiful person with a voice like no other. Elvis didn't invent drugs he just got caught up in them. Just like many others in show business. We loved him enough fo hope and pray he would get help. His love of gospel music was outstanding and no one could ever sing it like him or never will. Every one has the right to their opinions, that's the American. Everyone has demons of there own. Let's get back to having compassion for the faults of others. God gave us Elvis to enjoy his beautiful voice his beautiful smile and a amazing laugh like no other. He took Elvis from us because he knew he needed help thar nobody else could help him.He took him because he knew Elvis was growing tored and weary. He now sings with the Angels and what a beautiful addition to God's choir. Please people we are all brothers and sisters and God's children no matter what our believes or the color of our skin. Elvis has been gone for 43 years please let him rest in peace in the arms of our Saviour and the warmth of his Mother's love once again.

The fans would flock to see a new film about the finest entertainer that has ever lived. Thank you for posting this I have enjoyed listening to every minute of it :-)
