ELVIS PRESLEY American Trilogy music REACTION - Maybe his most incredible live performance! 

Well said!!!!!!

@@christophertaylor5441 Thank you, it's very easy to tell the truth.

Yes So True ! Like John Lennon From The Beatles Who Was Inspired By Elvis Said Before Elvis There Was Nothing !

I think everyone is missing the significance of the songs he chose. Dixie was a Confederate song. Glory, Glory Hallelujah was a Union song. All My Trials summed it up with children lost their fathers no matter the reason for the war. This was naturally understood by the audiences back in the day.

Make you cry

Elvis Presley jimi hendrix my 2 favorites

The genes are made by God ;-)

The crazy thing is that there could have been two of them! He had an identical twin brother that died at birth :(

@@lillkvirran so when God makes 1 great he doesnt let the other one live nice...........

I'm 43 I was introduced to Elvis music when I was six this elvis man is my musical hero

Yes! Thank you!

Me too, and I am 75,

@@lindaartz3297 my sister and cousin went to see him in the 70's and my cousin got one of those sweaty scarves he used to toss to the crowd! She was so excited to have it.

That voice so strong, could sing any type of music. Gospel a whole new level. Gave it so much meaning. True gift.

a song the equal of elvis' 'american trilogy' is 'oid man river' by frank sinatra, live!!

To this day

The King!

Amen.

I don't think evidence of a soul is predicated on if you cry to this song. Just a hunch

millions of Republicans didnt cry one tear.............

He actually had an opera singers voice that was mellowed down on certain songs. Great ass man

Elvis;s voice was so powerful! Any other singer would have been drowned out by all those backup singer voices and his terrific band and the fantastic orchestra! They had a huge sound..but Elvis's voice was front and center over all!!

Realistically most very successful singers produce less music overall and less great music after they are 40 years old.

We lost 10 years of new original music from Elvis because of Parker. He sent him away in the Army to Germany for 2 years and 8 years doing B movies.. not allowing great song writers to write songs for Elvis because of his greed to control the publishing.. I cry thinking if this..

@@darrylrogers2337I believe it was Pavarotti who said that Elvis could have sung opera, but he would never be able to sing like Elvis!!👌💕🕺

He was definitely top of the food chain. Vicki

CAROL MAURIZIO : WAS ? ? IS ! ! ! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@@tommyrregina1227 Was IS and always will be THE KING. The greatest of all time amd a blessing to the world.

Like Elvis said: Jesus is King but we sure loved to hear Elvis sing.

He Balked EVERYTIME HE WAS CALLED "THE KING". He would stop, Point Skyward and HUMBLY say, "There is ONLY ONE KING". His faith was his foundation and though, like All of Us he often fell on life's road. The temptations were constant. But he always wanted to do "right".

It brings me joy!

Correct, who wants to be a controlled over weight drug abuser?

When did you see him? I saw him in 1973 and 1974. 3rd row in 1974!! Perfect show and so much electricity!

I saw Sinatra twice in 80's but never saw Elvis. Big mistake.

So jealous!!!!! I share the same birthday with Elvis 😉. My daughter just moved to Texas. I’m going to visit her, and on my back home to Canada….. I’m stopping off to visit Graceland! I think I’ll cry once there❤️

Elvis was and still is the epitome of a legend. Charisma like no other, voice like no other, stage presence like no other and humble like no other. He truly is THE greatest of all time and we will never see another like him.

I saw him in 1970 at the Astrodome. The seats weren’t that great, but just being in the same room with him and breathing the same air as him was more than enough for this 14 year old girl!

@Stella Burnell * 👍❣

1974 in Atlanta and I was on the 3rd row. ELECTRICITY everywhere.

I’m 54 years old and I was blessed to see him live 3 times. My mom and aunt were super fans and took me when they could. And even tho I was very young and didn’t remember but two shows, I can tell you when that man came on stage it was like nothing I had ever experienced before or since. The air was electric and people were changed it was so special .that I understood

Actually not this one as this is the full dress rehearsal concert from January 12th. The January 14th was broadcasted to the world.

The stat I heard is that the first satellite show was seen by 1.6billion people ALL OVER THE WORLD. He wanted to tour the world but that fraud puppet master col Tom wouldn't let him out of his claws. He killed Elvis but what a legacy of music and greatness he left for us. Seriously I was born a year before he died and I've been a fan my whole life. Now teaching my kids to love him. Jesus Christ that voice and the whole package he was beautiful ❤

And who used any of the afore mentioned in those days?

Nobody has said it better than you! Thank you!

Also Humble

Amen.

High praise Dave. Glad you enjoyed it.

@@brandonious7732 3RD row in 1974! I am so lucky!!!

I agree 100%. He was a vocal genius who commanded a stage like no other. I think of all the songs he could have, should have done instead of 8 years of his management's idea of who he should be and what he should do. Even worse knowing how much he hated them and knew it was a waste but never found the confidence to break free. Vicki

Elvis wasn't fond of Colonel Parker purring him in movies either!

I agree. His mature voice from 1968 onwards was sublime.

As he got older his voice got better

@OverandOutChief1 * I totally agree. Elvis was the most underrated arranger/producer ever! There's a You Tube video of Elvis rehearsing "Bridge Over Troubled Water" in Las Vegas 1970 that shows him putting the production together, directing the musicians and background vocalists, etc. until he got the results he wanted. His talents were limitless! I miss him so much😪

In order to arrange music, you must first be able to read it and write music. Since Elvis could not do any of these, your comments are lies or wishful thinking, pick one and deal with it.

@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Somebody better tell artists like Yanni and George Strait that their contributions to the arrangements are null and void. If you are going to speak, at least be informed. Elvis in the studio was in charge of the product coming out. Raise the bass, lower the piano, more choral etc. He could not read or write a note. However, you don't need to. He knew what sounded good to him and strived to record how he heard it. He did this regularly. He was very much part of the production of what he was putting out.

@@OverandOutChief1 Changing a few notes does NOT! make you an arranger or producer. And in relation to the others you mentioned. When the forum and comments are made about their musical abilities, feel free to comment. Until then, Elvis was not nor will he be any kind of musical anything.

@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Imagine that? All of what you say and all I have to do to refute is say yes he does arrange his works.

@Heidi Sprouse * I totally agree. I miss him so much!

Yes!! I believe this was the rehearsal version. The Live From Aloha is AWESOME!!

This would’ve been the rehearsal for the broadcast the next day that went out via satellite

Yes there were 3 things that were better the next (real live concert) day: Elvis had his hair cut into a better looking look, he did the "arm pulling back move" better, the fluteplayer hit the perfect notes (he had a litte mistake in this version).

​​@@MrAlanfalk73 spot on..The official Aloha version is just a bit more perfect. But the Hampton Roads version is my favorite, especially the This is Elvis version with added strings.

@@MrAlanfalk73 You're right about the warbled note from the flute player. This is how I know it's the rehearsal. But easier to not miss is the different outfit. The live version he wore a colorful scarf. I believe it was red/orange/gold?

Yeh mate those moments are brief but the memories are forever

It is NOT! Elvis's music. It is only and will ever be songs Elvis sang. In order for it to be Elvis's music, Elvis must have written it. Since he never wrote a song and could not read nor write music, it will only ever be the songs he sang.

I’m sorry if I gave a wrong impression, by his music, I meant the songs that he sang. I don’t think Elvis ever wrote a song, but if you have a tune in your head, there is always someone who can read and write music. Jeff Lynne, writes most of all his music, but he can’t read music. A artist can always find a way to get his music out.

I saw him in 73 and 74 as well!! Atlanta. 3rd row for the 1974 concert!!! AMAZING!!! WE are LUCKY!!

@@JeanetteFaith We are very lucky indeed! And it's so cool that we both saw him twice...in the same years...and both as he swung through the South. For me it was Nashville in '73 & Louisville in '74. I had close seats also the second time, plus binoculars so even though I didn't need them I used them part of the time anyway. I was examining the pores on that gorgeous face.🤣 AND I looked at tour dates for '73. It says he was in Atlanta on June 29th & 30th. Then in Nashville on July 1st. That means, if you saw him on June 30th, I saw him the very next night! There's a guy who put together a series of videos, one for each year, that shows every tour date..the venue..which jumpsuit Elvis wore..what the band & backup singers wore..& the set list. He even includes a photo of each venue & a couple of pics from each show. Were both shows you attended in Atlanta? I looked at the video for '73 ( I was curious how close together the time period was that we both went) & saw the dates I mentioned above. But didn't see Atlanta in the '74 video. Maybe an error in the video? If you're interested in those videos just type in "Elvis Tour Dates" and the year you want to see. A lot of great info & pics. Here's a link to the '73 video.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bsmd16OveSs.html 💙🌿

@@deborahcornell171 lol.... You could see his pores. I just saw sweat! I had a twin sister and she was trying to touch him. I just stood there and looked. Yes, I saw him both of those years. I wonder why it doesn't show the 1974 concert in Atlanta. ??? I was there. I was in the Army and flew home to Atlanta for it. My mother worked for the Atlanta Newspaper and had connections, so that is how we got tickets. The first time in 1973 we were not that close but it was enjoyable anyway. But the 74 Show was the best concert ever!!!!! So handsome!! I'll check out more on these tour dates, but they had to get it wrong. You are the first person I've met that saw him twice and in the same years. WOW! Not very many people can say they saw Elvis live....let alone twice!!!

I sat with my mum in Australia and watched him we were and I’m still a huge fan he was so special he brightened up our lives TCB

I was able to see him at the University of Alabama almost a year to the day before he died. It was clear that he was very ill, but his performance was flawless. So Happy I could see him in person!

Not Jerry Garcia ?

@@martinholmes639 not really... he's got his ice cream.

No we never would make fun of him neeevvveerrr

No he was not! A professional musician can read and write and play music presented to them. Elvis could do none of these.

I saw him live in 73 and 74. The 1974 live concert was amazing and I was on the 3rd row. AMAZING!
