Remember, when you’re watching this, it was his last performance. He died a couple of weeks later, and in this performance he gave every last drop of human endurance. He could give keep that in mind. God bless.

This is VERY emotional to watch. Elvis was gravely ill here with his health failing him. He died 6:weeks after this concert. His AMAZING voice NEVER FAILED HIM! R.I.P. 🙏

Great reaction to a guy literally on his last legs still showing what a unique and unforgettable talent he truly was.

Elvis also was not a trained pianist or guitarist or musicial composer. Could not read music. All self-learned. He loved performing & always wanted his fans to have the best performance. He appreciated his fans & was always kind to them, took time to talk to them. He had said it doesn't bother him if his fans tore his shirt off his back. They were the ones who put it there. Remarkable talent & human being. Honest & genuine reaction. Thank you!

Several well-known opera singers have said: "Elvis could have been an opera singer but we could have never been rock & roll singers." Elvis was very ill at this point yet gave it his all. He died several weeks later; a day I'll never forget.

Elvis was gravely ill here, and as a fan, it's very hard to watch this. He died not long after this heartfelt performance. He gave his all till the end! 🙏 His love of Gospel music and his ability to perform that is also incredible.

Remember this was at is last concert. He was very ill. But he still performed for his fans. It made me 😭. I love Elvis forever and always ❤️ RIP Elvis 🙏❤️❤️.💔😇

Thank you Polo! We love Elvis! A beautiful man indeed!

And keep in mind Elvis was ill and close to death here. One thing that never failed him until the day he died was his miraculous voice. LONG LIVE THE KING! 🤟

This was one of his last performances. It was filmed for a tv special. He died 6-8 weeks after this was filmed. The special was shown approx a month after his death. We were still reeling from his death, so this was so hard to watch then and even now. Until people saw the special we had no idea how sick he was. When Baz Luhrman shot this scene for the recent Elvis movie he had Austin Butler’ Elvis transition into the real Elvis using this exact footage. The entire audience gasped. I started sobbing.

Hi Polo. This was 8 weeks before Elvis died. He was very ill at this concert, bloated from water retention, yet he still gave his best to the fans. A remarkable man with a phenomenal voice and talent. I love his music. From South Africa. 👍🎶🇿🇦🌍

God love him he was very ill at that time 😢 but still gave his all for his fans, he was the GREATEST ❤ he will never be forgotten, I loved him, was a wonderful human being ❤❤❤

This one hurts to watch😢 he passed away shortly after and you can see his struggle to get through this song, still does it amazingly and his voice sounds as great as always, watch him in his prime and you'll se the difference. American Triology, In the Gettho, If I Can Dream, Suspisious Minds...... and on and on ❤

42 years old. Still breaks me. Every time I see it.

Thanks for your reaction to this most impressive performer, an individual who ever walked on stage and held a microphone. Keep up the good work and please keep Elvis Presley coming. The King will live forever.👍🇺🇸🙏🔥👑🎸⚡️🎶🎹🎤

He still gave his all. Even being in so much pain. God bless and rest in peace. Elvis.

Elvis had his own stye,voice,moves looksunique,and is still relevant today.

He was brought up singing gospel. He was an incredible artist. He was only large for a few years before he died.

"American Trilogy" Live from Hawaii Elvis Presley ❤👍

When Elvis sings, his powerful voice and emotional delivery create a sense of intimacy that makes it feel like he is singing directly to you. His ability to connect with the listener on a personal level is a testament to his talent and the genuine passion he brought to his performances.

He was supersized in his singing , his beauty, his charisma , talent and loved God and all his fans . And what I’ve read Elvis was generous man … Thank you for posting ❤

He was not well, and he gave his fans everything left.❤️

Legendary ❤ never be another Elvis 😢❤

He was so amazing! His voice was beyond greatness! He is sooo missed by sooo many!! There will never be anyone that comes close to Elvis!

I love when he looks at the sweets like “I did it”this was also the first time Elvis played the piano during a performance and he was very nervous about it. Bring a tears to my eyes

"They performed like they had something to lose." Very precisely and eloquently put, Sir.

Our beautiful Elvis struggling, so sick, and still giving his fans his all. Thank you God for the gift of Elvis ❤

Never seen an audience so captivated. And he worried he would never be remembered. 😢

This was June 21, 1977. His last performance was June 26,1977. There is a video of his final performance of this song, which was June 25, 1977 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The night before the Indianapolis concert, which was his final concert. The June 25 version is also amazing!

I just found your channel a week or so ago. I'm turning 60 next month and man it is a blast to watch your reactions to music I grew up on and have loved all my life. Thanks for being you and thanks for some great videos!

You are a stud to admit your previous lack of information and willingness to open your mind. Good for you.

What you called "super-sized Elvis" was actually a deathly ill man swollen with edema. Charlie Hodge - the guy holding the microphone - was mostly Elvis' right-hand man on stage - keeping the show organized, maintaining the song list for the shows, singing harmony with Elvis, playing piano for certain songs, making sure there was water/Gatorade for Elvis throughout the show, hanging the scarves around Elvis neck, and whatever else was needed. And when necessary, when Elvis wanted him to - holding the mike. He was also the object of many of the practical jokes Elvis would play on stage. Even at this point, when Elvis was within months of his death, Charlie made sure Elvis had what he needed to be able to give the fans the best show he was able to give. That having been said, thank you for a lovely review. I hope you will do more research on Elvis and continue to discover the greatness, the fun and the charm that is Elvis.

Thank you for your kind words. Racism and discrimination goes all ways, not always against people of color. EP was a humble and generous and funny person....he helped more people, regardless of race, than most of us can lay claim at any time. A true superstar and musical genius with the voice of an angel...he was gloriously beautiful as well 💯❤️. TCB ⚡

Greatest Voice Ever!!!!

Happy to see this reaction today even though 1977 is sad to watch because it’s just weeks before his untimely death. Just love his powerful voice and passionate delivery! Check out Bridge Over Troubled Water live from Las Vegas 1970. One of my favorites!

As I’ll as was he was he put everything into this song. God bless you Elvis!❤

Love Elvis, I cry when I see this.

I watched this with my mom when I was 7. She said he looked unwell. A few weeks later he died. My mom just stood there watching the news in disbelief. RIP Elvis and Mom.

No auto tune pure talent.....not his best performance but he had raw talent.....

I never gave a shit about Elvis till I watched his performances. Dude plays his band and the audience like an instrument.

This always makes me cry 😢 He knew the end was close, may God bless him 🙏💔😭 Gone just a few weeks after, gone too soon 😭

RIP King......always forever!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

Elvis was so sick at this point. He passed away a few weeks later, :( He gave his all in this song. His longtime guitarist held the microphone.

So happy to see you doing another Elvis reaction. Anything from Ed Sullivan, 68 Special, or 70, 72 concerts is outstanding. Thanks for this one and for showing your appreciation to the best performer I ever saw with the best voice I ever heard.🔥❤️🔥❤️

I grew up in a family of Elvis fanatics. My family is from Memphis and some of my family members knew him personally. My uncle worked for him and they stayed friends. I knew he was talented but I didn't truly appreciate his talent until I saw this. This is unbelievable. I cry every single time I hear it. But I never really appreciated him because I felt like other people should have been successful, but he clearly deserved his fame.

Elvis NEVER became a parody of himself. Elvis got ill. Those weren't gaudy outfits, they were custom works of ART, and each one had a special meaning. They represented HIS RESPECT for the DIVERSITY of his fans. Elvis spoke through his music and clothing attire. He was ALWAYS a trendsetter. Elvis suffered from inflammatory issues that were the cause of him appearing overweight. He really wasn't all that "fat". His enlarged colon and heart (colon was 3 times the normal size of a man his size) were just part of a condition that doctors were just learning to figure out about. It was a small number of THE PEOPLE, cruel people that MADE FUN OF HIM, ruthlessly, that was the parody. THEY were the joke. What Elvis needed was REHAB & REST. 6 months AWAY FROM THE BUSINESS, to lean himself out and see a NEW SET OF DOCTORS and most importantly TO FIRE "Tom Parker" and "Dr Nick". Parker was on the way out... But Dr Nick Elvis placed his trust in. Back then, we blindly trusted all our doctors. Elvis was first in many things. Unfortunately, Elvis TRUSTED his physician. He could never of fathomed that his OWN DOCTOR was feeding him lethal doses (many times over) of painkillers and other pharmaceuticals (instead of DOING THE ACTUAL WORK OF TREATING HIS CONDITIONS -- and recommending THAT ELVIS SEE SPECIALISTS for each ailment). Michael Jackson was killed by his physician in a VERY, VERY similar way. Elvis was repetitively blindsided by PARKER AND NICK, LITERALLY TO DEATH... and they cheated THE WORLD of one of its most BEAUTIFUL & GENEROUS & TALENTED HUMAN BEINGS.

Elvis' version of Unchained Melody is my favourite!

Absolutely Beautiful. I love how he sang that. Elvis was a Special Special person ❤

He was very sick here during this performance ( his heart was failing ) and yet he gave it all. ❤️ I was 17 years old when it was announced on the radio in 1977 that he had passed away, our entire family cried that day. I don’t think Elvis ever hurt anyone in his life. He was also a twin, his twin Jesse died after being born. Rest in Peace Elvis Presley.🙏✝️❤️

Thank you for sharing The great king Elvis !!❤❤

I love Elvis! I think my mom had every record of his.

He set the bar all other musicians are measured against. There is nobody above the king

Even weeks before he died you could hear the power in his voice , he was and always will be the king

I grew up with both parents being Elvis fans, and there's a 25 years age difference between them. This video was made three weeks before Elvis died. To show how powerful his voice was. He had multiple ranges in his voice. He was honestly given a gift by God.

Elvis was very ill and should have been in a Hospital. This was his Last Filmed Preformance, it was on June 21, 1977, Elvis Passed Away on August 16, 1977. Another Beautiful Song Elvis did was: "Bridge Over Troubled Water" 1970 Live Las Vegas (New Mix, Great Sound)

I loved Elvis. Great performer.

Elvis has such a wonderful voice. He was georgeous and a wonderful preformer. I'm hoping to see the movie Elvis. Great reaction

Such a sad performance. He passed soon after this. Love this man! He’s the greatest ever!!

When a person becomes so famous as Elvis (not many do) people full of ressentiment comes out from under their rocks to start rumors (always bad ones) to draw that person down so they dont fell so inferior. It just doesnt work , in time truth will prevail 😊

On the subject of his style of music, etc. People forget he grew up not only in the ghetto but he was raised in a black neighborhood of Tupelo, Mississippi. In past interviews, he gives credit to those who inspired him. It was his manager, Thomas Andrew Parker commonly known as "Colonel" did a lot shady shit, even behind Elvis's back. Another thing one has to keep in mind, Elvis was so medicated from pain pill during this time (he died a few weeks later), that he could barely remember the lyrics to his own songs. This song hits hard and you can hear in his voice.

This kills me every time is see this he’s weeks from death at this point. Gods rest in peace my brother Elvis.

Thank you, this was a clip I never saw. He was q beautiful man with an incredible voice.

He was very sick but gave his all from his heart and soul

He’s struggling so much for breath. Please listen to a recording made several years earlier. This version is great but when he was in his prime, this song will bring tears to your eyes. ❤

oh my god , in my opinion on this last performance ever , we can see the power of human passion, his voice is so powerfull!!!! AMAZING!!!!! gosebumps....

The last ever performance elvis did, before he died ❤️😭😥 he really gave it all here!

I was there!! No one threw undies in those days! LOL. He was amazing! Love your reactions to EP- hope you'll do more!

So hard to watch this...😢. Its so beautiful & sad at the same time.....knowing this was his last performance. How sick he looked...it just breaks my heart seeing him like that. 😭. ❤

I remember watching this on TV. It was Elvis last performance,he died a few weeks later. My mother had all of Elvis records, and would play them all the time 😢

During his 3AM Vegas Show he praised and wish Chuck Berry a quick recovery (he had been hospitalized) and in honor of Chuck sang Promised Land.

He was the BEST!,,

My beautiful Elvis. Rest in peace

After Elvis does a song, he owns it…..that’s the difference.

you weren't told the truth about Elvis....he was the real thing...a star for many reasons.

I absolutely believe Elvis was singing this song to his mother on that last tour. As far as Elvis and opera goes, Elvis loved all kinds of music, including opera. One of his favorite performers was the great tenor Mario Lanza.

GOD BLESS....AMAZING REACTION MY BROTHER! 🤜💥🤛🎤🎙🎼🔥🔥👑💯

Please react to Elvis singing "Sweet Caroline" live in Las Vegas 1970. Man, he excelled at these shows. He outperformed and outsung Neil Diamond on his own song. Tks Polo.

That was his last concert he was very sick but still delivered a stunning performance ! More Elvis please ! .love your Elvis videos !❤

Yes, I Agree Polo, Elvis has the greatest singing voice ever recorded

Elvis was effing fire

Nice. Appreciate the Elvis post; it's been a minute. Your comments are succinct; sweeping away the chaffe and baring the crux with sincerity, new knowledge and no sucking up.

Just imagine being on his death bed and still giving his al to his fans as he always did. Love was mutual between him and his fans. It's heartbreaking that he was so ill and yet gave this great performance and it happened to be his last

When we watched this on TV my mom had that same look on her face, lol,.

Sir , you do possess a very good perspective in your reactions which keep me coming back !

This breaks my heart .He was so obviously ill and close to his end but wow he was spectacular, he gave his all . Magnificent .

He would die 6 weeks after this performance……..his voice never left him.

Yep I remember watching this on television in the day his last concert gives me chills to this day !!

Love!❤❤❤

Polo you need to hear his Gospel Music to which he won a Grammy

The one holding the microphone was one of his best friends, Charlie Hodge. This was in June 1977 (2 months before Elvis' death). His last concert.

I love the song Kentucky Rain!❤️

Great reaction and I’m glad you opened up your preconceived notions to listen to him. He was one of a kind and, like you, I’m late to the Elvis party. Very glad I came.

POLO, YOU REALLY NEED TO CHECK OUT ELVIS AND THE BLACK COMMUNITY, PARTS 1 AND 2....IT will SHOW YOU SO MANY THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT THE MAN, AND THE PERFORMER.......WHAT YOU ARE REACTING TO HERE WAS JUST 6 WEEKS BEFORE HIS DEATH, AND YET HE STILL GAVE EVERYTHING HE HAD FOR HIS FANS....AND YES, YOU HAVE HEARD THIS BEFORE, IT'S A COVER TO THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS SONG....

"Super-sized Elvis" love it !!!

Bless his heart and so many other fine artists. It's not easy.

Elvis was a king

Love him

He was very sick. He passed away soon after this. The guy holding the microphone was a kind of cover because he was the guy who had to guide Elvis hands to where he should start on the keys initally because he was semi blind by this point from glaucoma.
