WOW!! First Time Hearing | Elvis Presley - An American Trilogy Reaction 

Elvis was The Man... He had it all...The voice, the looks, the charisma, the attitude.... He is The King 👑 for a reason 😊

He aint called THE KING for nothing! ZERO auto tune 100% TALENT

The man on the flute not only performed before that crowd without skipping a beat or note but it was perfect. Now that was televised live via satellite before a BILLION people never before done. History in the making.

YOU GET IT! YOU REALLY GET IT!! Welcome to the Elvis World. No one could touch him in voice, charisma and performance. The Legend lives on!

finally someone who doesn't pause the king but watches and listens to the song without interruption...thank you for the great reaction en respect for the one and only king...RIP my king

Stan Hes in 5 hall of fames,,recorded over 750 songs and sold 1.5 billion records and Hes still going strong and Hes in the guiness book of records.Almost 46 yrs after His death.Who else would ever get that recognition.He had it all and no one comes close.He has more history than a history book and kept reinventing Himself.His voice could go High and low and did things with His voice that's amazing.There will never be anyone close to what He did and still going strong all these years..He could sing anything from rock,,gospel,,country,,and also sang 8 Christmas songs He could sing it all.And when He covered someone's song He did it different and better than the original Artist.Paul Simon was blown away with Elvis version of bridge over troubled water,,He loved Elvis version better.He did so much in a short career and payed for it in the end but He never lost that smile and voice as much pain as He was in at the end..And the day He died He was suppose to be Heading to Maine for a Concert and that's where half the band were in Maine setting up.I seen Him in 1974 My Parents took Me and My Brothers and I was in 4th grade and I remember it to this day and I've been a fan since.Love Your Channel Stan Great reaction👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍☘

My favourite Elvis Presley is “Without Him”.

I was born an Elvis fan. I was a mere 14 years old when he died and my admiration has never wavered. It never ceases to bring me joy to watch someone discover what so many of us have known for decades 💜

Love your reaction and comments .First concert ever to be done live via satellite to a billion people world wide .

Just imagine what he could have done had he matured to an old age. He did everything in 22 years… only 22 years

Elvis Presley sang gospel. He loved gospel music it was the music his mother loved. He adored his mother. If I could have seen Elvis Presley live it wouldn’t have been him on stage in front of a crowd. If I could have seen him live it would have been at his all night gospel sings where it was just Elvis a piano and his closest friends singing gospel.

I love Elvis. His voice, performances, such a great entertainer and so handsome.

... Which singer has as much charisma as Elvis? So much humor? That sexy? Then an absolute world-class voice? ... To this day I don't know anyone better than Elvis!! ...His performance in Hawaii in 1973 via satellite was the greatest event in music history of the last century! ✨💎✨🕺🏻🕯 Thank you

Check out “Take My Hand Precious Lord “. His only Grammy was for his Gospel music.

Mike Handley, narrator & TV/radio spokesman, in the 'The Jim Bohannon Show', airing on 600+ radio stations on the Westwood One Network, said: "When healthy and serious, he was flat-out the world's greatest singer. In his voice, he possessed the most beautiful musical instrument, and the genius to play that instrument perfectly; he could jump from octave to countless other octaves with such agility without voice crack, simultaneously sing a duet with his own overtones, rein in an always-lurking atomic explosion to so effortlessly fondle, and release, the most delicate chimes of pathos. "Yet, those who haven't been open (or had the chance) to explore some of Presley's most brilliant work - the almost esoteric ballads and semi-classical recordings - have cheated themselves out of one of the most beautiful gifts to fall out of the sky in a lifetime. "Fortunately, this magnificent musical instrument reached its perfection around 1960, the same time the recording industry finally achieved sound reproduction rivaling that of today. So, it's never too late to explore and cherish a well-preserved miracle, as a simple trip to the record store will truly produce unparalleled chills and thrills, for the rest of your life; and then you'll finally understand the best reason this guy never goes away." Yes, indeed.

ELVIS is the GREATEST AMERICAN 🇺🇸 EVER - HE was the EPITOME OF LOVING 🥰 EVERYONE!! 🙏

One of my favorites. Gives me goosebumps. He loved the USA. The eagle on his outfit is for the American Eagle

Elvis is a conductor on stage he lets all his singers and musicians when he plays an amazing song.Vonnie

Elvis is the greatest singer entertainer and humanitarian ever. No one today can match his brilliance today ! And no auto tunes & if there were, he wouldn't need it !

Beautiful!!!!❤ This concert was live and viewed by 1.5 Billion people worldwide!

He did all genres expertly and the love in his voice just washed over everyone in earshot. No one can touch him, ever. 👑🎤🎶💓

Elvis Baby he does it to all of us Welcome

Elvis could not read music, but, he automatically memorized music just from hearing it. IF YOU HAVEN'T reacted to "Elvis and the black community" it is a MUST!! AMAZING!!❤

THAT RAMP CREATED from the STAGE: Producer/director Marty Pasetta told Parker (Elvis' manager) that he wanted to build a ramp for Elvis to walk out onto & Parker said no. Pasetta explained that it would be 8 ft. wide & Elvis could stay in the middle or go to the left or to the right if he wanted to because Pasetta knew how important the audience was to Elvis, Parker still said no. Fortunately, Pasetta was able to meet w-Elvis & he explained exactly what he told Parker. Fortunately again, Elvis overrode Parker & told Pasetta to build the ramp. Pasetta told Elvis he wanted him to lose 25 lbs., which Elvis did. Elvis then hugged Pasetta & said you are one of the few people who has been totally honest w-me. Without that ramp the concert would have been very different if Elvis did not have the option to get in close touch w-the audience. You can see this clearly for the song "Welcome To My World." This concert was a benefit to raise money for the Kui Lee Cancer Fund & raised $75,000. Elvis bought his own ticket for $1,000. & did not make any money from it. The approximate amount of people in the audience was about 8,800. You should see yet another side of Elvis for the water throwing incident from 1972 in Hampton Roads, Virginia when at the very, very start of the video Elvis called out “Please Release Me” but the band began playing “I Can’t Stop Loving You” - he didn’t stop them, he went right into the song, he then walked over to his glass of water, picked it up & playfully threw it at Glen @ piano -- a fun, energetic, powerhouse, his voice a little deeper, a little richer at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LNtP5Gd8QGE.html -- make sure you hear him say Please Release Me & then the water incident will make sense, also not his slightly irritated look at the beginning. To truly appreciate what that voice was capable of, go to "Tomorrow Never Comes" at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QhYtB7pjkS0.html -- not live but w-beautiful photos & a glass shattering finish! Not highly recommended but should not be overlooked to appreciate what his voice was capable of. Trilogy is a medley of three uniquely American pieces: “Dixie,” (dixie are the states down south in the U.S.); “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” a marching hymn of the Union Army during the American Civil War; and “All My Trials,” a Bahamian (people of the Bahamas) lullaby related to African American spirituals sung by protesting folksingers of the 1950s.

This Hawaiian concert was seen by 1.5 billion viewers around the world as it was done via satellite and the first ever via satellite.

اعظم فنان على مر العصور لم ولن يتكرر الملك بدون منازع

Elvis was and will always be the best

Greatest all around singer. Can sing anything.

Those feelings and passion he has transfers to our soul. His voice is phenomenal. Bridge Over Troubled Water live 1970 is sung beautifully. It can bring one to tears. You’ll not be disappointed. Thank you sir for reacting to this man and his phenomenal voice. ❤❤

Elvis Presley =Total Package= THE KING!!

So much power and smoothness and passion in this mans voice...he felt it....no one b4 or after has come close to this talent.... to me.. The King... not my era but have to appreciate greatness... The King.

Just the king

I so enjoyed all of your perceptive comments about Elvis. His voice was truly a magical gift. One of his musicians said of him, "a song would enter his ears, go through his brain, then his heart and then out of his mouth". Thanks for this great reaction. ❤❤❤

This men is from another planet men❤❤

Right on bro. And Elvis was the king of charity's his estate still gives. He has a Elvis house where you can stay for free for a year. And many other things

Just the very best ... what more can you say ?! TCB forever !

I was 13 when the show aired on TV, and Elvis was the man. Everyone loved him

Certainly has the Wow factor. One of my favourites. Elvis did such a fabulous musical arrangement for this song, with that beautiful flute followed by the brass & you can see how much he is really feeling it all.

Going down the Elvis rabbit whole is very much worth it! Now that you are getting to know his singing and voice take the time to get to know Elvis as a person! He is one of a kind and the most humble, loving, caring, and giving person you'll ever know!!

His VOICE is like balm to your soul. Omg he is the greatest singer EVER IMO and always has been. I am surprised so many reactors do not know this. Let this be a lesson to never believe something someone says about another unless you have experienced them yourself 🙏♥️

My uncle bought the biggest TV he could get and took it to my granny's house and family and friends came to watch the king. TX

Thank You for your reaction and words...he blows my mind too! I am an 80s baby but grew up on oldies music including Elvis and like you I felt the same way about Elvis I loved him til last year when I took a deep dive into Elvis and fell in love with him and found he is so much deeper than just an entertainer!

This 11 year old was glued to the tv when this aired on tv. I had just seen him in concert twice the year before. The second concert was one of my 11th birthday presents. It was the only thing I actually asked for. TCB forever. There's a reason is in more music Halls Of Fame than any recirding artist in history. 5 of them are major music Halls Of Fame.

The power, the passion!

Thank you for your thoughtful comments on Elvis. You are right. I think people can get easily distracted by his style, charm, and unbelievable looks.

no one has or had a voice like elvis PLEASE make sure when you get to "what now my love" from this concert you do the **REHEARSAL** version thanks :)

Check out his Gospel live or recorded He is and will always be AMAZING the Greatest

Jane H commenting ….. Elvis stripped right back, where his voice truly stands out, does show his stunning vocals. It’s wonderful to see you discovering this magnificent man. I watched this live concert in New Zealand in 1973 & just knowing that he was performing on stage as I watched, was mind-blowing. Another wonderful Reaction.

Wow, How we need this man more today than ever!

You should bring more Elvis videos love the king. Thank you 🙏🏻 Also watch Elvis and the black community.

Gives me chills every time - ♥♥♥

Elvis really shows his singing talent in his Gospel recordings.

My mother loved Elvis. She always had an album playing 🤗

Thank you for nice rections on my king✌️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Great Review. Elvis had a great voice and was truly 'sui generis'.

Growing up, my mom was EVERYTHING ELVIS.. Guess because when she was 14 he came to be. As a teen I always fought with her, that Jim Morrison was the best singer ever! ( even though Jim died when i was 8) Now much older, I see what she has seen about this man. I remember the day he died. I was in 6th grade. My dad came home from work. smashed open the door.. and pretended he had a microphone in his hand.. and got down on his knee and sang,, Ae you lonesome tonight! as a joke.. i laughed.. My mom was so upset she ran in the other room. They made up later. But now being an adult, this man was amazing

I agree, Stan This performance is amazing and the band kicks in and it gives me goose bumps, and I'm not American!

I'm right there with you brother. He's got so much great stuff on audio and only a fraction of that is live performances on RU-vid and yet there are still so many. We are so lucky. His voice just blows me away.

Thank you for reacting to Elvis and his beautiful voice. He could sing so many types of music. I am so glad you are enjoying his music

Music is just soundwaves. There are many ppl who are great at producing these soundwaves. But there are a rare few that for some reason are able to truly move a person's soul. As I experience more and more of elvis, he truly is one of the greats. For me, another is bono from u2- technically not a special voice, but is able produce emotions in listener. Please, do more elvis and u2 reactions- gifts from God

Addendum to below: not just the voice but that emotion & passion which came from his soul & his gut -- even in his up tempo songs -- this is what made him so unique & loved -- no one put in the passion & emotion that that Man did.

It had the same impact on all of us who saw it in 1973 on tv! And we were already big fans of Elvis. He never had a show which wasn’t ‘Sold Out’ and many times would add a second evening show, which would sell out.

It makes my day to see you catching "Elvis Fever". He recorded 700+ songs. You'll discover that, in addition to rock 'n' roll, he sang gospel, blues, pop, rockabilly, honky tonk, and country. He's in too many Halls of Fame to mention. It's always great to see his live performances, but please don't ignore the many songs that either weren't performed live or weren't filmed. Examples that I'd love to see you react to: "Kentucky Rain" -Elvis Presley (3:23) ELVIS PRESLEY - SURRENDER (1:57) ELVIS PRESLEY - RAGS TO RICHES (1:59) "I believe" - Elvis Presley (2:08) He recorded this one early on in his career in 1957 at the age of 22. I promise you won't regret jumping into the Elvis rabbit hole.

Your Elvis reaction brought me to your channel. Phenomenal voice and talent. He sang plenty of gospel songs too. Amazing man, still loved worldwide. Please react to Elvis singing Bridge over troubled water live in Las Vegas 1970. Another masterpiece! Thank you. 👍⚡(🌍🇿🇦)🎶🎧

I've got this double album that my mother bought back in '73. I remember she watched it on TV live via Satellite from Hawaii. I tried to watch it with her but my dad hated Elvis and wouldn't let me. (He considered him "vulgar" ). But that didn't stop me from becoming a huge fan growing up anyway!! I also remember this footage was played as part of the State Fair Chevy Truck show every year until one year a woman got angry and complained about the reference to Dixie and demanded that the Fair stop including it. So, that was the end of that, all because of one (1) person's complaint. Nevermind that he also included Battle Hymm of the Republic which was written by an abolitionist. But I guess she didn't care, just having Dixie in there was too much for her to accept . Anyway, I personally just saw it as Elvis expressing his pride in being a native of the south. (nothing wrong with that!) It's one of, if not his 'greatest' live performance!

PERFECTION!!!! SO PATRIOTIC!

My mom and aunts saw the king 3 times in the 50s Wichita falls and forth worth TX.

I’m watching your reaction and decided to subscribe. I’ve been an Elvis fan since I was five years old. I remember the moment seeing him on my black-and-white TV and my life was never again the same. Push forward 65 years and he remains my hero. As a teenager, I saw him eight times in concert and looking back on my life. Those were perhaps the greatest moments of my lifetime. God bless you happy new year stay safe, thank you for sharing Elvis with a new generation. He was such a humble, kind man he had his issues, but his soul always Remained open with love, and that’s all that is needed to be remembered. I loved, and I love him, so take care friend.

Great.....

Watch for Chri Stapelton doing the Song on SuperBowl!❤

Still the Goat! please do more Elvis

My family gathered around or 16" TV with one 5" speaker that evening ! It was the first Satellite transmission! My father had to keep adjusting the antenna to follow the satellite across the sky!?😅 so amazing seeing like this 😮! Caught my father dancing for the first time priceless 😂

Happy to see youth take the time out to react to old legends. His voice is 💯 % legendary and it was all the fat men in jumpsuits with big hair that people focused on after his passing. Not only in my opinion the best voice and again my opinion he does something with his voice others can’t do. He absolutely draws yo in to his emotion and passion and makes it feel personal singing from him to you without an audience. Truly gifted and touched God. Enjoy the ride my friend and allow us old heads to keep smiling watching enjoy what we were privileged to see for ourselves. Peace always.

Very good review indeed, Thanks. Yes there's lots of really good singers out there and I'm sure they would acknowledge Elvis as something special. As they have all paid tribute to him in their shows.

I enjoyed this reaction very much! I hope, you do alooooot more Elvis!💚🍀💚

Thanks for the reaction video of Elvis and thanks for a nice comments about him and his great voice, I read an interview once about Leonard Bernstein he was one of the greatest composers and music directors, and he talked about Elvis and said he had the greatest voice of anyone in this man, new music, I loved watching the video you showed. I’ve seen it many times, and I get goosebumps just like you did every time I listen to it he had so much power and feeling in his singing, his music was in his whole body. Elvis had it all and you did a great job. Thanks again.

Thank you for your reaction. I am a fairly new Elvis fan for four years now and I love his movies, his voice, his love for all people. He was a very kind soul and it comes thru his soul and out his mouth. No matter what song he us singing tears come and I don't know why. But he effects me that way. Bless you for your insite to the insight to this man and his voice. There is no other singer that effects me that way.

Thank you for sharing! I remember laying on my sister’s living room floor to watch this Aloha from Hawaii broadcast . As a kid,I was a 1960’s Elvis movie fan initially. I discovered, over many years, what you are just realizing. His voice, and stylistic range was incredible. There are two shows he did while in Hawaii at that time. He did a rehearsal concert. It’s interesting to compare the performances, and see some of the subtle changes he made to his delivery. His hair is somewhat different between the two performances also.

THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS❤️ Elvis inspires you to be a better human being❤️ You bring me and other Elvisfans a lot of Joy and Love❤️ Welcome to the Elvisfamily..It is filled with LOVE and FUN❤️😉

I am a huge Elvis fan from childhood. This is the first time I have watched a reaction from you. I subscribed because of how perceptive you are about Elvis' voice, and how well spoken your comments were regarding Elvis and his voice. Great reaction!

Just subscribed. I love watching people watch Elvis.

Check out ELVIS's song Rubberneckin' remix by Paul Overstreet nothing like you've heard from Elvis before! I was SO BLESSED to see Elvis LIVE in concert at the age of 14 AND I got a scarf from him. It is my prized possession!❤❤

❤

so glad u did this one, i figured you'd come across this eventually 🙂 I hadn't heard it before until the pandemic and started watching reaction videos. It blew me away and still does. And yes, I felt the same as you. Elvis is definitely THE GOAT!

It's a good God lord Almighty performance.

Stan . . . . "An American Trilogy" was composed by Mickey Newbury . . . . you can go to youtube and find him performing it . . . . i recommend the version where he is sitting with his guitar and a female violinist dressed in white sitting to his right . . . . . this is so very moving . . . . . i hope you will give it a look and a listen . . . . . . wishing you a very blessed Happy New Year . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

👑✌️

I so much appreciate that you watch the whole performance without interruption and then comment on the whole thing at the end. So many reactors nowadays keep on interrupting h the videos and you lose the momentum of the songs this way. This concert is the one I wish I was there to see. Great reaction and comments.

Magnificent ❤

You got the whole reaction thing down, great vid. God bless :)

Great reaction

He could do it when he was young also, listen to ( IT HURTS ME )

Cool Breeze Stan, thanks for your hard work and excellent, heartfelt commentary on all the videos. I hope more people will stay and listen to your insights and thoughts on the great music you present every week. Thank you for all your hard work and for making us happy.

Great reaction man

Fantastic reaction! New subscriber here and Happy New Year! 🎆

Thank you for your reaction. I'm a new subscriber & love his songs. So many to choose from. Have you played the following 1) live 1970 Vegas "Bridge over troubled water" 2 ) Aloha concert 1973 " What now my live" the rehearsal one. Thanks again & Happy New year 🎉🎉

U need to watch the 73 Hawaii tour concert

I bought a plot about 18 years ago but for the last 14 years I've been thinking about cremation and have someone throw my ashes over the walls of Graceland. Rest in peace Lisa Marie. Good night Graceland. TX peace
