Elvis died a few months after this. He was so sick you could see it. He gave his best to the end, and his voice was as beautiful and strong as ever. The world lost an amazing human being on August 16, 1977. The King Forever❤❤
I cry when I see this. He was so incredibly ill and refused to let his fans down. He could hardly breathe and his pain level unimaginable. Breaks my heart every time.
For those of us who knew very little of Elvis, the Elvis Movie 2022 made me want to learn more and more… because of that I am a total and vocal fan of this incredible man ❣️❣️
Heartbreaking 💔 his body was dying but his voice and commitment to his fans stayed to the end. God bless you Elvis, rest in eternal peace. You worked long and hard enough xx
He was the greatest musical performer of all time. He started it all in 1955 and sadly died at 42. He had hundreds of timeless hits. Nobody will ever match him
i can not watch this performance without crying, knowing how ill he was and yet so strong and how he gave everything he had when he was on stage. Knowing this was his last live performance hurts my heart.. but when he smiled while he was singing, makes me wish i could just hold him and hope he knew how very much he was loved. RIP Elvis
Elvis was #1. Everyone who ever met him said he was so charismatic that he won you over. Every group tried to copy him after he came out. John Lennon said there was Elvis and everyone else who tried to copy him. He had long hair and side burns. Everyone else had a crewcut. When Elvis played in New York for the first time. Every popular group in the industry came to see him to pay homage to the KING because they wouldn't be there if it hadn't been for Elvis.
It wasn't his last performance but it was his last recorded concert performance. Elvis has been smeared from the beginning. He wasn't one of them. By them I mean Hollywood and the rich and famous. He never forgot where he came from and surrounded himself with family and people who were raised with southern values and in the church like he was. He loved his fans and loved people and was generous to a fault. He gave money away almost as fast as he earned it. There is much more to Elvis Presley... most of it admirable and good. He was a complex man and had his faults and weaknesses... like each and every one of us does. But for someone with his level of fame... the first ever superstar, the most famous person on the planet (there are fan clubs and impersonators to this day all over the world)... not to mention the most handsome man who ever existed... a man who sold out every Vegas show and concert within hours and had people coming from all over the world to see him... do you know one human being who could handle that level of fame and wealth and remain down to earth, loving, generous, kind, compassionate, humble and loyal? There has been a move in recent years to tear down and destroy history and famous people in history. (A Marxist tactic, but that's another video). So they judge people from the past by today's standards, which have changed dramatically from even 20 years ago. It's sad that Elvis had so much hate in the beginning of his career and again late in his career and now 45 years after his death. Take the bad you hear with a huge grain of salt... there may or may not be a grain of truth to it. Learn about Elvis the man from the people who knew him, loved him, worked for him or met him. Although be warned that there were some of his inner circle who turned on him and other unreliable people (without mentioning names) who used and abused Elvis. I do not trust anything they say. What you'll find is that he was consistently described as humble, polite, gracious, kind, fun, compassionate, loving and generous to all. His bad qualities do not cancel out his wonderful qualities. Name another superstar who would routinely go down to his front gate to meet and talk to the fans, sign autographs and let them take pictures? What other superstar would miss a regular "gate fan" when they didn't show up for a while, ask about them, find out where they lived and personally go to see if they were OK or needed anything? People don't get to hear most of those stories and I've never seen them on reaction videos. But the videos are on yt and fb... there are Elvis historians and fans who have gone back and recorded the stories of so whose lives were touched by Elvis in order to preserve his memory and legacy and get the real story out about the kind of man he was. You really get great insight into the man when you hear their stories. Enjoy your journey. Sorry if this was too wordy.
Great reaction. There will never be another Elvis. He was put into five Halls of Fame plus two state Halls of Fame. His generosity was unmatched. He grew up in ghetto. Sometimes he had no shoes. He was from Tupelo Mississippi. Moved to projects in Memphis when he was 14. The rest is history. Thank you for giving him a chance. You will never regret it.
This was the final scene from the Elvis movie (mixed with Austin’s face) and it was Elvis’s voice doing the song. It was his last concert. This is what made most fans cry the most in the movie.
Yes this was his last concert. He was here so sick. 6 weeks later he passed. It was a shock to the world. But his voice never let him down. I cryed my eyes out. He is the greatest ever, by far. Btw you're reactions are great
@@ruthhatfield8869 u got that right!! 💯 One amazing man! No one will ever match his voice or talent. You're The King Elvis. And You don't like being called that. But realize it's King of music!! Jesus Christ is the king as You Know. God gave you that voice and talent for a reason! AND You SHARED IT WITH THE WORLD!!! Thank You!!! I'll see u again in heaven!! Till then, I will keep playing your music every day of my life!!!
Elvis was my first heartthrob at 8yrs old “little hussy I was” and he died 11 days after my 14th Birthday in 77”. His Music meant so much to me & still does that I still cry hearing his powerful voice and left wondering what could have been for him to WoW us with.
When I was young, I didn't like this video because it saddened me to see Elvis panting, tired, visibly weakened on stage. But after I saw the Elvis movie, and in it this performance merges the Elvis character, played by Austin Butler and the real Elvis, and that scene is so moving! It brought me to tears. And from then on I could see how much he overcame himself to be there. When he goes to the piano, it seems like he can barely speak, but the moment Elvis sings, his voice never fails. There is no pain, no tiredness or shortness of breath, just pure emotion. And his smile at the end give us a feeling of accomplishment, of happiness for being able to do his best one more time. It's as if he wanted to leave this performance as a legacy for future generations when they want to understand who Elvis was. Elvis was heart and Soul! Great reaction! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Thanks for sharing.
I'm a Forever Elvis fan. I waited for that movie for years. A movie about ELVIS had to bring the energy & excitment that seeing Elvis produced. It finally came in 2022. Glad you saw it. I hope you react to one of my favorites that showcases ELVIS singing & guitar talents. Best version is from the 68 comeback special, its a combo of Trouble & Guitar Man. It starts off with Elvis singing a few bars of "Trouble" then it morphs into Elvis singing the full version of "GUITAR MAN" and its ELVIS at his best. Thanks for taking the time to get to know Elvis. He was/is always delighted with a new fan.
Wonderful to see you younger guys figuring out who Elvis was. Truly the GOAT in every way. Watch "The Echo Will Never Die" or "Elvis, A Generous Heart " to find out what a great human being he was, and why he is still so beloved by so many around the world.
Elvis performed this song in very intense pain but wanted to for his beloved fans. He didn't feel the pain whilst singing but it was there. It's a true testament to his heart and soul and heart of gold🤎 Never to be forgotten Elvis❤⚡🙏🏻🎤🎶🤎😔❤♾⚡🙏🏻🥰
Thank you for your great reaction. Watching you listening and it dawning on you what a phenomenal entertainer, Elvis was, is so joyful. Elvis is mesmerising and he leaves people starstruck on hearing his voice. I heard him on the radio when I was 3 , 63 years later still in awe of this amazing man, the singer, the actor and the humanitarian. So many sides to Elvis, not least the 700+ songs he recorded. Enjoy your journey discovering all about him and sharing it with old fans who can never see enough Elvis and new fans who, like you, are just falling under his spell 🙏👌💕🕺
You have started at the end this was he last performance. He passed 6 weeks later. If you decide to take the Elvis journey you will be hooked. There is so much to see from his early days on Milton Berle's show ed Sullivan show clips from his movies live from Vegas. You will be amazed what this man accomplished. Elvis was the most well rounded entertainer that ever lived.
There are only a few Elvis movies that are good, but every Elvis movie made tons of money just because people wanted to see HIM in a movie. Jailhouse Rock, King Creole, Wile in the Country, and Loving you were a few of the early and better ones but they didn't give him the chance to be a great actor. The minute they had him singing in all his movies fans came to them and didn't care about the story as long as they could see Elvis and hear him. Elvis movies all made money!.
The night before he died until early morning his last 2 songs he sang at home Graceland. They were this song, and Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain. Singing like that while he was so sick, you can imagine his talent when he was healthy and younger. Beautiful soul with a wonderful life and unique talents. But also a tragic short life and gone too suddenly and way too soon. 😢😢❤❤❤❤💔💔🎸🕺🏻🎸🕺🏻🥹🥹🎤🎤🎤
My mum says I was born loving Elvis. I'm 59 now and I still love him and listen to him every day. Suspicious Minds, Kentucky Rain, You Gave Me a Mountain and Trouble are a few of my favourites. Enjoy this fantastic you're now on, Elvis is one of a kind.
So happy you found Elvis. You might enjoy Elvis A Generous Heart. Song- wise, he was inducted into five Halls of Fame. He didn’t steal from anybody. I’m glad he’s getting a more fair shot now. Thank you!
You need to watch all his live performances‼️ Nothing will ever compare to Elvis live❣️❣️❣️❣️There is the reason he is called the king. He always will be❣️❣️❣️❣️
Elvis was a man who loved his wife. I know because when I saw him at the Hawaiian country he went to see his wife and he asked her to come back home with him. It wasn’t long after that when he died.he loved his wife and daughter.. I never knew what a great father he was.i wish .his wife just went back to him.❤❤ ❤he was ❤a great father
HE NEVER MADE A BAD RECORD OR SANG A SONG OTHER THAN PERFECTLY. WHEN 45 RECORDS CAME OUT. YOU ONLY EVER GOT ONE GOOD SONG. THE OTHER SONG WAS NOT GREAT. WITH AN ELVIS 45 YOU GOT TWO GREAT SONGS. I THINK A 45 COST 1.00 WHICH WAS OUTRAGEOUS AT THE TIME. NO ONE COULD COMPETE WITH HIM. EVERYONE AFTER ELVIS WAS A TAKE OFF. SOME DID PRETTY WELL, BUT THERE WAS ONLY EVER ONE KING....AND THAT WAS ELVIS.
That smile, that voice. THE BEST EVER. 7 Years-old when he passed, but knew very well who he was.. my mother was heartbroken. My nephew's gift to me was graceland this year. The presence was there and I couldn't contain my self and lost it at his grave. He had a huge giving heart and alot of other people benefited and thats one reason he had to work that hard. Dying alone, so sad. Miss him
This was indeed his last performance. He was so very sick, but that voice never failed him . He gave his all to his fans . Keep going he made over 700 songs . Early Elvis - New Orleans great . Aloha from Hawaii - American Trilogy . Take it from there . Doesnt matter you cant go wrong .
I was 5 when he passed. But I miss him everyday like I knew him. What else he could’ve accomplished. He died with less than a million $ because he gave so much to everyone else. Priscilla came up with opening up Graceland for the fans and also so Lisa Marie would have an inheritance and enjoy his legacy. Rest in Love Elvis, and Lisa Marie. ❤
THIS WAS ONE OF HIS VERY LAST PERFORMANCES BEFORE HIS DEATH, HIS BODY WAS WORN OUT, BUT HIS VOICE WAS STILL AS STRONG AS EVER!!! HE WAS A PERFORMER FOR HIS FANS TO THE VERY END!!!!! THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE LIKE HIM!!! HE WILL ALWAYS STAND THE TEST OF TIME!!!!!
This is the real footage of Elvis Presley singing I didn't cry until I saw this footage the last few minutes it killed me in the movie, I cried and cried and his speech at the end while it flashes to him as child that to me was the best part of the movie...He was so sick here but he put his heart and soul into this this song like he always did in every song!!❤
New subscriber. To know who the real Elvis was as a performer & a person, just start watching his live performances, see the documentaries about his life & how he grew up, what he put himself through to perform for the audiences he loved, his rich powerhouse of a voice -- '68 Comeback special, 1970 Las Vegas (which was filmed by MGM for the DVD "That's The Way It Is"), 1972 Hampton Roads, Virginia; and know that he had many serious health issues, painful glaucoma & those house lights & stage lights were very hard on his eyes, & a lung condition genetically inherited that eventually caused him to need an inhaler to help him breath. This was in June of 1977, he died Aug. 16, 1977. And w-a repertoire of over 700 songs, you have a lot to get through. Thank you.
Elvis loved his fans, performing and music. He supported Bill Medley (one of the Righteous Brothers) when he performed solo. Bills interview about that is worth watching. Same thing with Jackie Wilson. Elvis was really generous and funny. Thank you for this one!❤
The scene was from one of his last performances before he died. In the movie, the song is Sung by Austin Butler then it flips,Austin is nowhere to been. It’s only Elvis singing at the piano, it was very emotional .one minute it is Austin and the next minute it’s the real Elvis setting at piano. I cried my eyes out at the end of the scene.
Yes more Elvis please I just subscribed anything from his 68 Comeback Special his Aloha Hawaii Satellite TV Special that was seen by over 1.5 billion homes it was the first ever Satellite performance and all his Las Vegas 1970 live performances watching him perform live you can see the emotion & passion he puts in every song he sang all genre of music his gospel is take you to church! You won’t regret going down the Elvis Rabbit Hole! The movie didn’t show his generous side he never forgot where he came from helped so many people he didn’t even know. He loved giving gave to over 100 charities in the Memphis area alone never took a tax credit just did it out of love! He was a kind & humble man who never turned down a fan for an autograph! He also stared in 31 movies & 2 documentaries was the highest paid actor at that time his movies never lost money! There will never be another Elvis God broke the mold when he created Elvis!
Great reaction !! 6 weeks before he died but his fantastic voice was still there . If you want to see a more fit Elvis , look suspicious minds , polk salad annie , bridge over trouble water , the 3 live in 1970 . a very beautiful day for you
I saw this last performance. Indianapolis 1977. He was sick, very bloated but he was still Elvis. I was happy to see him. Yes this is just like in the movie. I still love him. ❤this makes me cry. Oh Elvis how missed you are. ❤
Elvis .. great entertainer.. Michael.. great entertainer.. .. I think in my life time.. the bests ever... truly don't know that any single entertainer can compare to Elvis and Michael
You want to see Elvis the performer? Watch Elvis Vegas 1970 Polk Salad Annie, Vegas 70 Bridge Over Troubled Water, Vegas 70 You've Lost That Loving Feeling... Nobody sang with more feeling or Passion than Elvis. Nobody. Elvis On Tour 1972, You Gave Me a Mountain & How Great Thou Art. I just subscribed to your Blog. I am 70 years old. An Elvis fan my entire life. I live in Las Vegas and watched Elvis perform here. He was head and shoulders above the rest...
I cry everything I see this. His last goodbye and gift to us. How Brave knowing he didn't look well and totally sick.😢 And that voice, Still! We all miss you Elvis. You were a shooting star🌠❤️
I saw him in concert on June 9, 1977, just before he passed, got to go meet him afterwards. I was 17 and he took time to talk and joke with me for about half an hour. Very beautiful gentleman!!!
My heart breaks, so much, every time I watch this. This man loved God, he loved is fans, he loved his friends....it didn't matter how poor or rich you were, white, black, native American. The Greatest there ever was or will be...I've loved this man since I was born and his voice was the only way I could go to sleep and here I am - 67 years later and it has never changed, and it NEVER will. ❤❤❤
I’ve now watched your reactions from first to last 2 days ago and I’m happy to see you’ve stuck with your hours. It never ends because once he’s grabbed a hold of your soul, for someone reason I can’t explain, but he never lets go. I didn’t see his performance of Bridge Over Troubled Water 1970, Las Vegas Live. It’s beautiful and his void is unbelievable.
I am so glad you are reacting to Elvis. You couldn't pick a greater performer. Hope you go down the Elvis Rabbit Hole. He has recorded over 800 songs and has sold more records that any other artist in history. Love the reaction.
Last performance before he died. Feel the passion and emotion of his voice. Amazing reaction. Please try bridge over troubled water and I can Dream. Thanks. 💕💕💕💕
There was a movie about Elvis that Kurt Russell played Elvis, Kurt did great job, there can never be another Elvis! Remember Elvis came first, no movies made without Elvis being the reason! Go down the rabbit hole with Elvis, the movies Elvis made, his music, you don't need a movie made to show you Elvis, he's out there. Entertainment from the real Elvis❤️❤️❤️
Look at Elvis face .you can see the love that on His.Soul..The older Elvis got the better His.boice got. I believe He really. tired of being called.a king..He.was. ready to give it.all up. He was.ready.to meet His Lord
I cried watching this in 1977. It was his last performance. I could barely sit and watch it. I was 26 years old at the time and a huge fan. I saw him sing live in 1972.
Elvis was and is the best singer, I have been a Elvis fan for 71 From the first time I heard himI was about 11 years old Ive seen every movie he made and have them all I have every record .tape and 8 tracking CD, you could say I am a fan. Oh and have been to Graceland 5 times. Just look at all the wonderful things you have to look forward to. The only thing I didn't get to do was see him in person, at the time we were raising our kids and just couldn't swing it.When you live in Montana the big name just don't put us on their route.
Very nice reaction so kudos to you. On his knees health wise, probably shouldn't have been near a stage yet still produced this magical performance. As a long time fan the influence of country was seriously underplayed in the film, for as Elvis himself said in 1970 his music was a fusion of Gospel, R&B and Country.
This is so hard to watch. I was 1 year old when he died and always avoided his vegas years on film footage. I've gone down a rabbit hole again recently on the strength of the Elvis biopic, I'm not disappointed. Nobody will ever match this man's talent or presence. Although Unchained melody by Righteous brothers is in my top 3 ever favourites, this vetsion brings me to tears everytime. Can't watch him in so much pain, and know that he was aick and dying and probably knew it well. The evolution of Elvis through the years is one of the most remarkable events on planet earth. You can't deny the man's natural talent and ability to deliver every note to you personally. He was amazing. He is still amazing. "The Echo Will Never Die"... that much is true. He could've been an opera singer, there was a standing ovation after this performance. I'm going to watch the film again, it is pretty close to true events in the true timeline. Long live the King ❤ Irreplaceable.
Over 670 Artists recorded this song. You can see Elvis is dying here, I can feel it. My Mother was the same age and I could feel them both dying, she lived a few weeks longer than Elvis. That was 1977 and I still connect them. I used to feel guilty that I couldn’t save them and they died of the same heart condition. Five out of six of us have the heart condition, no one knew back then it was Genetic, my eldest has it too. That is why Lisa Marie is gone. Everyone used to say it was prescription drugs that killed him. The last Medical Examiner said it wasn’t. If someone took them that wasn’t used to them like Elvis it might kill them. It was a heart problem he was born with and no matter what it would have killed him because there wasn’t help for many years after they were gone.
Fue su última actuación antes de morir, puso todo el alma, a pesar de estar muy enfermo lo dio todo por sus fans como hacía en cada actuación . Me rompe el alma ver estas imagenes. La película estuvo genial, de las 8 nominaciones a los Oscar no le concedieron ni tan solo uno, creo que Austin se lo merecio el Oscar al mejor actor . No volveré a ver más la ceremonia de los Oscar, dejé de creer y solo lo volví a ver por la pelicula de Elvis, con la esperanza de que reconocieran el gran teabajo de tido el equipo ELVISFOREVER❤. Muchísimas gracias por compartir.
He was the best kind Man that loveld so much did so much foe sick children and everyone who took from him and let him get so sick and did nothing only took what they could u will never be be alone again RiP Sir sing with the angles and ur lida and grandson love from co clare Ireland🙏🙏🙏🙏
This Concert was in Rapid City South Dakota on June 21st 1977 six weeks before Elvis passed on...This was a brand new Civic center in Rapid City that held 10.000.00 people and Elvis Opened this new venue the very first person to perform there and it was a Sold Out Croud...He Crushes this song his voice range was amazing ...
Great comments. And if you really want a glimpse of how charismatic you can be in an intimate situation. There's a part of that 1968 Comeback Special that also had if I didn't dream as the finale, but there's a segment early on where they reunite him with his early band from the 50s and early 60s. Is a great entry point into that part of the show and to what I'm talking about. Heartbreak Hotel is also absolutely hilarious, I think it's the very first one he does and he's in this black leather suit and he's just sweating his ass off but of course he's still super cool about it.
The epitome of the consummate performer! You need to check out some of his other live performances. Like American Trilogy from the Hawaii special! Elvis was a Patriot who loved (and enlisted) for his country.
Elvis and Bill Medley were really good friends. I’m sure Elvis was responsible for Bill performing in Vegas when he was performing of course it was just a “coincidence” Bill played every time Elvis did. But they were good friends either way. Bridge Over Troubled Water Vegas live 1970, Polk Salad Annie Vegas live 1970, Reconsider Baby 1960, Make The World Go Away Vegas live 1970, Wash My Hands In Muddy Water u can pick a version they are all great, the song the played in the King King vs Godzilla movie Loving Arms, High Heeled Sneakers, Big Hunk o Love 1959. He has over 700 recordings I can be here all night 🤣🤣 I have some blues here R&B, rock, country oh wait u need gospel let’s see Working On A Building, How Great Thou Art live 1972 The Hampton’s, Milky White Way, oh wait i forgot on more soul shattering song Solitaire. I mean he will tear your heart out with other songs that just one of them.
Elvis’s death was my first MAJOR celebrity death that literally brought the world to its knees. I never forget watching his funeral on tv & the procession line & the crowd lining the streets was just heartbreaking. I was 11 years old😔♥️
Most of the concert scenes in the Elvis movie are recreations of actual performances you can see on RUclips. Austin Butler did an incredible job in the movie.
Elvis was the trim beautiful man in the white jumpsuit for many years. He put on weight near the end of his chaotic life Try watching his Comeback Special 1968. In that black leather outfit he was full of life and so giving and relaxed with his audience His shows were all an absolute thrill
Elvis died a few months after this. He was so sick you could see it. He gave his best to the end, and his voice was as beautiful and strong as ever. The world lost an amazing human being on August 16, 1977. The King Forever❤❤
He has you mesmerized
That’s what he does ❤❤
I cry when I see this. He was so incredibly ill and refused to let his fans down. He could hardly breathe and his pain level unimaginable. Breaks my heart every time.
He was so sick right here,. A few weeks before he died. His voice so dam beautiful. The greatest ever. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
yeah you can see it and hear it
He was God given. And that gift from God never left him.
The man was dying, but the artist was alive.
His voice till the end, his courage till the end, his talent all his own till the end.
Dude watch the real concert not a stupid movie. Remember, 6 weeks later he was dead. His body was in the process of dying as of this concert
Gift from God
For those of us who knew very little of Elvis, the Elvis Movie 2022 made me want to learn more and more… because of that I am a total and vocal fan of this incredible man ❣️❣️
@@carrieconnor7103 He drank a few too many Cokes for his own good.
Absolutely love Elvis. This one brings tears to my eyes because it was his last performance and he gave it his all.
Heartbreaking 💔 his body was dying but his voice and commitment to his fans stayed to the end. God bless you Elvis, rest in eternal peace. You worked long and hard enough xx
He was the greatest musical performer of all time. He started it all in 1955 and sadly died at 42. He had hundreds of timeless hits. Nobody will ever match him
He is still the greatest
i can not watch this performance without crying, knowing how ill he was and yet so strong and how he gave everything he had when he was on stage. Knowing this was his last live performance hurts my heart.. but when he smiled while he was singing, makes me wish i could just hold him and hope he knew how very much he was loved. RIP Elvis
Elvis was #1. Everyone who ever met him said he was so charismatic that he won you over. Every group tried to copy him after he came out.

It wasn't his last performance but it was his last recorded concert performance.
Elvis has been smeared from the beginning. He wasn't one of them. By them I mean Hollywood and the rich and famous. He never forgot where he came from and surrounded himself with family and people who were raised with southern values and in the church like he was. He loved his fans and loved people and was generous to a fault. He gave money away almost as fast as he earned it.
There is much more to Elvis Presley... most of it admirable and good. He was a complex man and had his faults and weaknesses... like each and every one of us does. But for someone with his level of fame... the first ever superstar, the most famous person on the planet (there are fan clubs and impersonators to this day all over the world)... not to mention the most handsome man who ever existed... a man who sold out every Vegas show and concert within hours and had people coming from all over the world to see him... do you know one human being who could handle that level of fame and wealth and remain down to earth, loving, generous, kind, compassionate, humble and loyal?
There has been a move in recent years to tear down and destroy history and famous people in history. (A Marxist tactic, but that's another video). So they judge people from the past by today's standards, which have changed dramatically from even 20 years ago. It's sad that Elvis had so much hate in the beginning of his career and again late in his career and now 45 years after his death. Take the bad you hear with a huge grain of salt... there may or may not be a grain of truth to it. Learn about Elvis the man from the people who knew him, loved him, worked for him or met him. Although be warned that there were some of his inner circle who turned on him and other unreliable people (without mentioning names) who used and abused Elvis. I do not trust anything they say. What you'll find is that he was consistently described as humble, polite, gracious, kind, fun, compassionate, loving and generous to all. His bad qualities do not cancel out his wonderful qualities. Name another superstar who would routinely go down to his front gate to meet and talk to the fans, sign autographs and let them take pictures? What other superstar would miss a regular "gate fan" when they didn't show up for a while, ask about them, find out where they lived and personally go to see if they were OK or needed anything? People don't get to hear most of those stories and I've never seen them on reaction videos. But the videos are on yt and fb... there are Elvis historians and fans who have gone back and recorded the stories of so whose lives were touched by Elvis in order to preserve his memory and legacy and get the real story out about the kind of man he was. You really get great insight into the man when you hear their stories.
Enjoy your journey. Sorry if this was too wordy.
As you enter the Elvis era you will appreciate him even more~
Makes me cry every time.😢😢❤
Great reaction. There will never be another Elvis. He was put into five Halls of Fame plus two state Halls of Fame. His generosity was unmatched. He grew up in ghetto. Sometimes he had no shoes. He was from Tupelo Mississippi. Moved to projects in Memphis when he was 14. The rest is history. Thank you for giving him a chance. You will never regret it.
Amen to that!!! 💗
This was the final scene from the Elvis movie (mixed with Austin’s face) and it was Elvis’s voice doing the song. It was his last concert. This is what made most fans cry the most in the movie.
I cried at the end when it switched from Austin butlers Elvis to the real Elvis.
Yes this was his last concert. He was here so sick. 6 weeks later he passed. It was a shock to the world. But his voice never let him down. I cryed my eyes out. He is the greatest ever, by far. Btw you're reactions are great
I was 15 when he died and cried like he was a family member. That’s how relatable he was. There will never be another like him.

It starts off with Elvis singing a few bars of "Trouble" then it morphs into Elvis singing the full version of "GUITAR MAN" and its ELVIS at his best. Thanks for taking the time to get to know Elvis. He was/is always delighted with a new fan.
Wonderful to see you younger guys figuring out who Elvis was. Truly the GOAT in every way. Watch "The Echo Will Never Die" or "Elvis, A Generous Heart " to find out what a great human being he was, and why he is still so beloved by so many around the world.
Elvis performed this song in very intense pain but wanted to for his beloved fans. He didn't feel the pain whilst singing but it was there. It's a true testament to his heart and soul and heart of gold🤎 Never to be forgotten Elvis❤⚡🙏🏻🎤🎶🤎😔❤♾⚡🙏🏻🥰
Elvis- Bridge over troubled water Live in vegas 1970, Elvis- Trying to get to you 68 comeback special
will do
Thank you for your great reaction. Watching you listening and it dawning on you what a phenomenal entertainer, Elvis was, is so joyful. Elvis is mesmerising and he leaves people starstruck on hearing his voice. I heard him on the radio when I was 3 , 63 years later still in awe of this amazing man, the singer, the actor and the humanitarian. So many sides to Elvis, not least the 700+ songs he recorded. Enjoy your journey discovering all about him and sharing it with old fans who can never see enough Elvis and new fans who, like you, are just falling under his spell 🙏👌💕🕺
He was the Greatest of all time! The King of Music! I've loved him forever and always will!
You have started at the end this was he last performance. He passed 6 weeks later. If you decide to take the Elvis journey you will be hooked. There is so much to see from his early days on Milton Berle's show ed Sullivan show clips from his movies live from Vegas. You will be amazed what this man accomplished. Elvis was the most well rounded entertainer that ever lived.
There are only a few Elvis movies that are good, but every Elvis movie made tons of money just because people wanted to see HIM in a movie. Jailhouse Rock, King Creole, Wile in the Country, and Loving you were a few of the early and better ones but they didn't give him the chance to be a great actor. The minute they had him singing in all his movies fans came to them and didn't care about the story as long as they could see Elvis and hear him. Elvis movies all made money!.
The night before he died until early morning his last 2 songs he sang at home Graceland. They were this song, and Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain. Singing like that while he was so sick, you can imagine his talent when he was healthy and younger. Beautiful soul with a wonderful life and unique talents. But also a tragic short life and gone too suddenly and way too soon. 😢😢❤❤❤❤💔💔🎸🕺🏻🎸🕺🏻🥹🥹🎤🎤🎤
He is called THE KING for a reason ❤
My mum says I was born loving Elvis. I'm 59 now and I still love him and listen to him every day. Suspicious Minds, Kentucky Rain, You Gave Me a Mountain and Trouble are a few of my favourites. Enjoy this fantastic you're now on, Elvis is one of a kind.
Rock on! Will add them to the list
Those are all great songs. Him singing You Gave Me a Mountain live with Priscilla and Lisa Marie in audience, I think she's 4, was amazing.
So happy you found Elvis. You might enjoy Elvis A Generous Heart. Song- wise, he was inducted into five Halls of Fame. He didn’t steal from anybody. I’m glad he’s getting a more fair shot now. Thank you!
Even in his darkest times, his voice spoke volumes. The King lived, he prospered, he passed on, but he's never forgotten.
You need to watch all his live performances‼️ Nothing will ever compare to Elvis live❣️❣️❣️❣️There is the reason he is called the king. He always will be❣️❣️❣️❣️
Elvis was a man who loved his wife. I know because when I saw him at the Hawaiian country he went to see his wife and he asked her to come back home with him. It wasn’t long after that when he died.he loved his wife and daughter.. I never knew what a great father he was.i wish .his wife just went back to him.❤❤ ❤he was ❤a great father
I’ve watched this performance a million times. It still makes me sad and makes me in awe of how great he was. Great reaction.
So many great Elvis songs you could react to! One of my favorites is Bridge Over Troubled Water.
will add it to the list thanks Shelli
HE NEVER MADE A BAD RECORD OR SANG A SONG OTHER THAN PERFECTLY. WHEN 45 RECORDS CAME OUT. YOU ONLY EVER GOT ONE GOOD SONG. THE OTHER SONG WAS NOT GREAT. WITH AN ELVIS 45 YOU GOT TWO GREAT SONGS. I THINK A 45 COST 1.00 WHICH WAS OUTRAGEOUS AT THE TIME. NO ONE COULD COMPETE WITH HIM. EVERYONE AFTER ELVIS WAS A TAKE OFF. SOME DID PRETTY WELL, BUT THERE WAS ONLY EVER ONE KING....AND THAT WAS ELVIS.
That smile, that voice. THE BEST EVER. 7 Years-old when he passed, but knew very well who he was.. my mother was heartbroken. My nephew's gift to me was graceland this year. The presence was there and I couldn't contain my self and lost it at his grave. He had a huge giving heart and alot of other people benefited and thats one reason he had to work that hard. Dying alone, so sad. Miss him
8 weeks before he died. So heart-wrenching! This performance always breaks me.
This was indeed his last performance. He was so very sick, but that voice never failed him . He gave his all to his fans . Keep going he made over 700 songs . Early Elvis - New Orleans great . Aloha from Hawaii - American Trilogy . Take it from there . Doesnt matter you cant go wrong .
There’s a reason they call him the King. 👑
Thank you. The reaction to this even though he was sick his voice was great everyone loved him Rip Elvis
Thank you for your great Elvis reactions. 💯
Thank you Bob
I was 5 when he passed. But I miss him everyday like I knew him. What else he could’ve accomplished. He died with less than a million $ because he gave so much to everyone else. Priscilla came up with opening up Graceland for the fans and also so Lisa Marie would have an inheritance and enjoy his legacy. Rest in Love Elvis, and Lisa Marie. ❤
He was giving his everything to the audience. It was always his mission to do the best show for the audience!
THIS WAS ONE OF HIS VERY LAST PERFORMANCES BEFORE HIS DEATH, HIS BODY WAS WORN OUT, BUT HIS VOICE WAS STILL AS STRONG AS EVER!!! HE WAS A PERFORMER FOR HIS FANS TO THE VERY END!!!!! THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE LIKE HIM!!! HE WILL ALWAYS STAND THE TEST OF TIME!!!!!
This is the real footage of Elvis Presley singing I didn't cry until I saw this footage the last few minutes it killed me in the movie, I cried and cried and his speech at the end while it flashes to him as child that to me was the best part of the movie...He was so sick here but he put his heart and soul into this this song like he always did in every song!!❤
Elvis suits you….please do more ❤
New subscriber. To know who the real Elvis was as a performer & a person, just start watching his live performances, see the documentaries about his life & how he grew up, what he put himself through to perform for the audiences he loved, his rich powerhouse of a voice -- '68 Comeback special, 1970 Las Vegas (which was filmed by MGM for the DVD "That's The Way It Is"), 1972 Hampton Roads, Virginia; and know that he had many serious health issues, painful glaucoma & those house lights & stage lights were very hard on his eyes, & a lung condition genetically inherited that eventually caused him to need an inhaler to help him breath. This was in June of 1977, he died Aug. 16, 1977. And w-a repertoire of over 700 songs, you have a lot to get through. Thank you.
He was so sick but he sounded amazing!!!
Elvis loved his fans, performing and music. He supported Bill Medley (one of the Righteous Brothers) when he performed solo. Bills interview about that is worth watching.
Same thing with Jackie Wilson.
Elvis was really generous and funny.
Thank you for this one!❤
I ❤ Elvis.. he's a legend for a reason
The scene was from one of his last performances before he died. In the movie, the song is
Sung by Austin Butler then it flips,Austin is nowhere to been. It’s only Elvis singing at the piano, it was very emotional .one minute it is Austin and the next minute it’s the real Elvis setting at piano. I cried my eyes out at the end of the scene.
Yes more Elvis please I just subscribed anything from his 68 Comeback Special his Aloha Hawaii Satellite TV Special that was seen by over 1.5 billion homes it was the first ever Satellite performance and all his Las Vegas 1970 live performances watching him perform live you can see the emotion & passion he puts in every song he sang all genre of music his gospel is take you to church! You won’t regret going down the Elvis Rabbit Hole! The movie didn’t show his generous side he never forgot where he came from helped so many people he didn’t even know. He loved giving gave to over 100 charities in the Memphis area alone never took a tax credit just did it out of love! He was a kind & humble man who never turned down a fan for an autograph! He also stared in 31 movies & 2 documentaries was the highest paid actor at that time his movies never lost money! There will never be another Elvis God broke the mold when he created Elvis!
Saw him in 1972, Buffalo, NY. He was amazing. He really put on a show and his voice was incredible. It truly was an experience.
Live! This was live! He was simple perfection when he was singing.
Thank you so much for this reaction! I am an Elvis fanatic and love watching you react to him. Yes, that was his last live performance.
Great reaction !! 6 weeks before he died but his fantastic voice was still there . If you want to see a more fit Elvis , look suspicious minds , polk salad annie , bridge over trouble water , the 3 live in 1970 . a very beautiful day for you
I saw this last performance. Indianapolis 1977. He was sick, very bloated but he was still Elvis. I was happy to see him. Yes this is just like in the movie. I still love him. ❤this makes me cry. Oh Elvis how missed you are. ❤
SImply the best. Thanks for letting him sing
Elvis .. great entertainer.. Michael.. great entertainer.. .. I think in my life time.. the bests ever... truly don't know that any single entertainer can compare to Elvis and Michael
You want to see Elvis the performer? Watch Elvis Vegas 1970 Polk Salad Annie, Vegas 70 Bridge Over Troubled Water, Vegas 70 You've Lost That Loving Feeling... Nobody sang with more feeling or Passion than Elvis. Nobody. Elvis On Tour 1972, You Gave Me a Mountain & How Great Thou Art. I just subscribed to your Blog. I am 70 years old. An Elvis fan my entire life. I live in Las Vegas and watched Elvis perform here. He was head and shoulders above the rest...
I cry everything I see this. His last goodbye and gift to us. How Brave knowing he didn't look well and totally sick.😢 And that voice, Still! We all miss you Elvis. You were a shooting star🌠❤️
Elvis's gospel songs are so touching. Watch HOW GREAT THOU ART and some of his lesser known ones.
Amazing reaction my brother! FANTASTIC! 🤜💥🤛🍻
I appreciate it
I saw him in concert on June 9, 1977, just before he passed, got to go meet him afterwards. I was 17 and he took time to talk and joke with me for about half an hour. Very beautiful gentleman!!!
His voice never failed him
Elvis was a kind , gentle soul.
I feel it Trcy
His last concert! So great! Thanks CVTECK1 !
Yes it was!
It makes me sad watching this he looks so unwell fair play to him for getting up on stage.The best of all time never forgotten The king .
Yeah he looked tired and slow even with his speech then he starts to sing and it's the KING!!!
This was his last performance just before he died. He was very sick. They added this to end the movie. Great job.
Yes, it was in the movie. He speech is breathless due to his health, but singing he’s phenomenal. This always makes me cry.
This was his last concert. He died 2 months later. Just awesome, no one can compare to this day
My heart breaks, so much, every time I watch this. This man loved God, he loved is fans, he loved his friends....it didn't matter how poor or rich you were, white,
black, native American. The Greatest there ever was or will be...I've loved this man since I was born and his voice was the only way I could go to sleep and here I am - 67 years later and it has never changed, and it NEVER will. ❤❤❤
I’ve now watched your reactions from first to last 2 days ago and I’m happy to see you’ve stuck with your hours. It never ends because once he’s grabbed a hold of your soul, for someone reason I can’t explain, but he never lets go. I didn’t see his performance of Bridge Over Troubled Water 1970, Las Vegas Live. It’s beautiful and his void is unbelievable.
I am so glad you are reacting to Elvis. You couldn't pick a greater performer. Hope you go down the Elvis Rabbit Hole. He has recorded over 800 songs and has sold more records that any other artist in history. Love the reaction.
Last performance before he died. Feel the passion and emotion of his voice. Amazing reaction. Please try bridge over troubled water and I can Dream. Thanks. 💕💕💕💕
It's so good and yes i will do more of the KING!!!
not his last -- it was the last filmed version of him on June 21st in Rapid City, South Dakota; the last was on June 26th in Indianapolis
There was a movie about Elvis that Kurt Russell played Elvis, Kurt did great job, there can never be another Elvis! Remember Elvis came first, no movies made without Elvis being the reason! Go down the rabbit hole with Elvis, the movies Elvis made, his music, you don't need a movie made to show you Elvis, he's out there. Entertainment from the real Elvis❤️❤️❤️
I cried my eyes out watching & listening to him sing this at the movies end. I still cry everytime. Listening now.
..his voice never failed him
Look at Elvis face .you can see the love that on His.Soul..The older Elvis got the better His.boice got. I believe He really. tired of being called.a king..He.was. ready to give it.all up. He was.ready.to meet His Lord
I cried watching this in 1977. It was his last performance. I could barely sit and watch it. I was 26 years old at the time and a huge fan. I saw him sing live in 1972.
Elvis was and is the best singer, I have been a Elvis fan for 71 From the first time I heard himI was about 11 years old Ive seen every movie he made and have them all I have every record .tape and 8 tracking CD, you could say I am a fan. Oh and have been to Graceland 5 times. Just look at all the wonderful things you have to look forward to. The only thing I didn't get to do was see him in person, at the time we were raising our kids and just couldn't swing it.When you live in Montana the big name just don't put us on their route.
Even sick he was the greatest..angelic talent
Very nice reaction so kudos to you. On his knees health wise, probably shouldn't have been near a stage yet still produced this magical performance. As a long time fan the influence of country was seriously underplayed in the film, for as Elvis himself said in 1970 his music was a fusion of Gospel, R&B and Country.
Subscribed. More Elvis please. Suspicious minds live Las vegas 1970....keep going with Elvis please
This is so hard to watch. I was 1 year old when he died and always avoided his vegas years on film footage. I've gone down a rabbit hole again recently on the strength of the Elvis biopic, I'm not disappointed.
Nobody will ever match this man's talent or presence.
Although Unchained melody by Righteous brothers is in my top 3 ever favourites, this vetsion brings me to tears everytime. Can't watch him in so much pain, and know that he was aick and dying and probably knew it well. The evolution of Elvis through the years is one of the most remarkable events on planet earth. You can't deny the man's natural talent and ability to deliver every note to you personally. He was amazing.
He is still amazing. "The Echo Will Never Die"... that much is true. He could've been an opera singer, there was a standing ovation after this performance. I'm going to watch the film again, it is pretty close to true events in the true timeline.
Long live the King ❤ Irreplaceable.
Over 670 Artists recorded this song. You can see Elvis is dying here, I can feel it. My Mother was the same age and I could feel them both dying, she lived a few weeks longer than Elvis. That was 1977 and I still connect them. I used to feel guilty that I couldn’t save them and they died of the same heart condition. Five out of six of us have the heart condition, no one knew back then it was Genetic, my eldest has it too. That is why Lisa Marie is gone.
Everyone used to say it was prescription drugs that killed him. The last Medical Examiner said it wasn’t. If someone took them that wasn’t used to them like Elvis it might kill them. It was a heart problem he was born with and no matter what it would have killed him because there wasn’t help for many years after they were gone.
ELVIS IS THE BEST THE WORLD WILL EVER SEE just love love him
Fue su última actuación antes de morir, puso todo el alma, a pesar de estar muy enfermo lo dio todo por sus fans como hacía en cada actuación .
Me rompe el alma ver estas imagenes.
La película estuvo genial, de las 8 nominaciones a los Oscar no le concedieron ni tan solo uno, creo que Austin se lo merecio el Oscar al mejor actor . No volveré a ver más la ceremonia de los Oscar, dejé de creer y solo lo volví a ver por la pelicula de Elvis, con la esperanza de que reconocieran el gran teabajo de tido el equipo
ELVISFOREVER❤.
Muchísimas gracias por compartir.
He was the best kind Man that loveld so much did so much foe sick children and everyone who took from him and let him get so sick and did nothing only took what they could u will never be be alone again RiP Sir sing with the angles and ur lida and grandson love from co clare Ireland🙏🙏🙏🙏
I cry uncontrollably when I hear this. It was my father's favorite Elvis song
This Concert was in Rapid City South Dakota on June 21st 1977 six weeks before Elvis passed on...This was a brand new Civic center in Rapid City that held 10.000.00 people and Elvis Opened this new venue the very first person to perform there and it was a Sold Out Croud...He Crushes this song his voice range was amazing ...
Great comments. And if you really want a glimpse of how charismatic you can be in an intimate situation. There's a part of that 1968 Comeback Special that also had if I didn't dream as the finale, but there's a segment early on where they reunite him with his early band from the 50s and early 60s. Is a great entry point into that part of the show and to what I'm talking about. Heartbreak Hotel is also absolutely hilarious, I think it's the very first one he does and he's in this black leather suit and he's just sweating his ass off but of course he's still super cool about it.
The epitome of the consummate performer! You need to check out some of his other live performances. Like American Trilogy from the Hawaii special! Elvis was a Patriot who loved (and enlisted) for his country.
Elvis and Bill Medley were really good friends. I’m sure Elvis was responsible for Bill performing in Vegas when he was performing of course it was just a “coincidence” Bill played every time Elvis did. But they were good friends either way. Bridge Over Troubled Water Vegas live 1970, Polk Salad Annie Vegas live 1970, Reconsider Baby 1960, Make The World Go Away Vegas live 1970, Wash My Hands In Muddy Water u can pick a version they are all great, the song the played in the King King vs Godzilla movie Loving Arms, High Heeled Sneakers, Big Hunk o Love 1959. He has over 700 recordings I can be here all night 🤣🤣 I have some blues here R&B, rock, country oh wait u need gospel let’s see Working On A Building, How Great Thou Art live 1972 The Hampton’s, Milky White Way, oh wait i forgot on more soul shattering song Solitaire. I mean he will tear your heart out with other songs that just one of them.
Elvis’s death was my first MAJOR celebrity death that literally brought the world to its knees. I never forget watching his funeral on tv & the procession line & the crowd lining the streets was just heartbreaking. I was 11 years old😔♥️
Most of the concert scenes in the Elvis movie are recreations of actual performances you can see on RUclips. Austin Butler did an incredible job in the movie.
This was the best song he ever sang!
Elvis was the trim beautiful man in the white jumpsuit for many years. He put on weight near the end of his chaotic life
Try watching his Comeback Special 1968. In that black leather outfit he was full of life and so giving and relaxed with his audience
His shows were all an absolute thrill
Great reaction
