- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- One of the songs synonymous with 'Aloha', is 'What Now My Love', which is one of the big ballads of the type Elvis loved to sing in the later years. The arrangement to the song is wonderful as it builds verse on verse using the string section, backing vocals and piano to great effect. it is deceiving with the first two verses very similar before the explosion that is the final verse, with that magnificent finale. Listen out too for a wonderful solo by Kathy Westmoreland throughout.
Never recorded in the studio by Elvis, it's most famous pre-Elvis recording is probably the Shirley Bassey version, although it has been covered quite extensively since.
00:00 Version One - 4 August 1972, Opening Show - The First Live Rendition
This first version is sung at a very slightly faster tempo than subsequent versions, and is given an intimate reading by Elvis, at times almost speaking the words - at times in the future he would speak the entire song - adding to the songs intimacy.
Version Two - 11 August 1972, Midnight Show
Just a week after introducing the song to his set list and already it has evolved.
Version Three - 14 January 1973 - The Aloha Version
Probably the most famous and best version of the song by Elvis.
Version Four - 27 April 1973 - Portland
The only version in this installment recorded on tour and you can clearly hear the benefit of the larger arena in regards to the song.
Version Five - 3 September 1973, Closing Show - Las Vegas
You can hear the audience reaction as Elvis began singing it as he was wheeled onto the stage lying a bed as it was pushed by Lamar Fike!! Not to mention he is also making some rather suggestive gestures at the same time!!
Version Six - 4 December 1976, Las Vegas - The Final Live Rendition
Just over five years since he first sang it live, the song was given it's last Elvis rendition and whilst shorter than most versions it is no less enjoyable. What is unique is Elvis more or less recites the song rather than sings it which gives it an unexpected twist.
As with all of these videos, to get the most out of the re-edited audio, I highly recommend you use ear /headphones and turn the volume up as much as you dare!
Elvis Presley the King ever and ever for all Times he is the Greates Entertainer of the World I miss him 👑🎵♥️🎸🌟🎶👑🎵♥️🎸🌟🎶👑❤
What Now My Love is at the top of my favorite Live songs by Elvis. Very dramatic song which allows Elvis to show off his vocals and range.
I very nice comparison of Elvis' versions of this song. Elvis could really crank out this song if he wasn't have too much fun on stage, but even that one is a delight to hear. Thanks for this!
Oh my this song just rips out your heart, Elvis,s too sadly. The way it builds to that soaring crescendo us spine tingling.
All versions great but for me, version 3 via satelite, showed his raw vulnerability his pain not only palpable but evidently visable. version 5 as amusing as it may be to listen to, that's one very broken man hiding behind his humour, wit and charm.
Version 6 , whoa tears are falling , Elvis reciting his pain for all the world to hear.
Thanks Leon, fantastic upload .
I can not make a comment Just a very sad song and i love it His voice all were beautiful touching my heart and soul0
Pure gold! There will never be another like him! He's the best there is was,or ever will be.😍😘
All of your descriptions of the performances were spot on Leon. Nothing else to add on here. For my perspective, I just have to thank you for Version Four! I have never heard that one; and you’re right! The larger arena made a difference for the dramatic impact at the end of the song. Thank you very much Leon for these compilations! Aloha my friend.
Concierto del año 73.Elvis lleno todo con su belleza y carisma. Yo me enamore de él. 💜💜💜💜🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦
Вечный Элвис Пресли, никогда не устаю слушать величественный, сильный и тоже время нежный голос!
All are stunning, but that spoken last performance is just WOW for me every time I hear it. Thank you for this amazing series.

🌠ELVIS FOREVER KING 🌠👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
OMG such a beautiful song as only Elvis could sing - just gorgeous 💕
#3 The Aloha Concert was the clearest and best!
That spoken version in 76 is briljant. And that end !
Love this song 73 aloha from Hawaii is my favorite his voice is so strong and powerful and very passionate and emotional
always a great job, I really like this channel one of my favorites
It’s 14 January 1973 not August. It’s only in the description so should be a quick fix. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Zach. Duly changed!!
Version que je ne connaissais pas, la voix est énorme, j'adoreee, thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Il grande Elvis e molto amato e aprezzano in Italia .
What a voice❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'M BACK!
Wish Elvis would maintain WNML throughout the years rather than stopping it in 1973, just imagine all the type of versions we would have if he continued singing it in 1974, 1975, 1976 and 1977
Love the Song Love THE MAN !!!! I DO NOT LIKE THE PIC AT ALL.
Always loved this song, especially from Aloha. Could never figure out if he was singing about a women who walked out on him or one who died. Someone commented that he (the singer) was contemplating suicide in the song, that blew my mind, but listening to it it's certainly possible..
So where's the best version? The one he sang in the Aloha rehearsal show on the 12th January 1973, prior to the broadcast version??
The version six is so beautiful and different. I loved it. 💕💕💕
Wow ! Fantastic! Elvis we miss you! Greetings from Belgium
In your description, The Aloha Date is wrong and it was 4 years 4 months from 1st time to last, not a month shy of 5 years on Dec 4 1976
Goodness me Rick, how can I write August instead of January for Aloha!!! At least I wrote it correctly in the caption on the actual video! Arithmetic never was my string point either, description updated. Thanks pal.
Never stop listening to elvis
2:50. 6:08. 9:19 12:17. 15:14 17:10. These feature all of his high notes in the end of the song
All great thanks Leon 🎤
One of my favorites from The KING!!!! ❤ 👍

Don't you think the January 12 version is better than the January 14, 1973 version?
On reflection, yes especially the final note.
@@TheUltimateElvisChannelbyLeon At the beginning of the explosive chorus, pay attention to how he says "what now my love" in both versions. In the rehearsal, "love" he stretches it much longer and with more energy. In 14, he says it more subdued.
Actually, he was like that throughout the show on the 14th XD, I guess he was too nervous or tired.
I would have maybe included one of the ‘73 spoken versions, either the Closing Show in Feb, or 3rd July in Atlanta. They were pretty good
the first version is combined by two audience recordings - but they are clearly synchronized very badly - you should correct this error!
His uncomparable voice!!!
🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋... ... . .
Estos vídeos son oro puro. Muchas gracias.
Fantastic! 👍
... and change the 3rd version date in the description
Duly done Antonio. I really do need to proofread better!!
The Master at work, awesomeness 👌
😂FANTASTIC THANK you ❤
September 3rd ver.'73 is a stereo disaster, too
I like very much the 1961 original version: Et maintenant? by French composer-singer Gilbert Bécaud - Lyrics by Pierre Delanoë are just ... sublime. But I got to admit: Elvis' cover sounds gorgeous. His voice is so stunning!!! Only knew Version two-1972 Aug, 11 - Midnight Show. Thank you so much for your 6 versions presentation.
He practiced his craft everyday.
I am sorry Leon, but this video SUCKS BIG TIME. The sound and also the pictures, so bad!!!! Hope the next will be much better. Good luck and take care.
I'm sure the video you made is much better than this one. Oh, wait....😳
