“Trying to get to you” from Elvis’s 68 Comeback Special shows him raw and powerful!

I consider myself BLESSED to see Elvis LIVE in concert in 1976! I was 14 y/o and memorized!! My MOST treasured keepsake is the scarf he handed to me...47 years later, I STILL cherish it!! I miss him SO MUCH!!😢

The first concert I ever went to was seeing Elvis in 1972. I have been to so many concerts since then. Not ONE can match the showmanship, the entertainment, the talent, and the voice of Elvis in concert!

[@richardmiller3839]

You lucky to see live.😊

[@beedeegee9374]

I saw him in 1976, too! My parents took me as part of my high school graduation gift. I’ll be forever grateful that I was able to see him in concert.

[@juancarlosveronica8989]

Wow!

[@marygammons3323]

Elvis was and still is the SH*T. He was amazing that's why we are watching and listening almost 50 years after we lost him. I was born 8 years after his death. I can't remember my life without listening to Elvis. From a third generation Elvis fan thank you for keeping Elvis alive

[@lisaray9944]

Elvis was my first concert in 1972 …. Will never see a show like his ever again . I have seen everyone from Jackson 5’s -to Alice Cooper and 100’s in between… Elvis still put the best show on true showman

[@saritadugat3708]

I saw Elvis at the end of his life and I was 24. He was wonderful. He’s still the King. Glad y’all reacted to his performance.

Elvis mimicking Ron Tutt's drums is a classic.

[@Rustebadge]

In Vegas in '69 and '70 Elvis was doing 2 shows daily for 28 straight days (56 shows), rest a week then leave for 12 and 13 city tours. Unsustainable for a human without eventually killing you. Hmmm. He was loved to death. Thanks for experiencing Elvis.

[@garyfreeman5719]

Tragic and Sad . This would have been one of the only times I’d be a fan of Social media . The public would’ve put to much pressure on dipshit colonel for dogging him like that . I also think the public would’ve revolted as they saw him deteriorate right before our eyes . Trust me he probably would’ve gotten the help for his addiction . He so desperately needed . Social media causes people to lose their careers . Don’t underestimate the power of it . Different time and era .

Next, react to Polk Salad Annie live in Vegas (1970), even crazier!

[@rockzhard2009]

i saw Elvis in '70, '71, '74, '75 and '76, and i've also seen countless others live, and nobody has ever come close to the magic of Elvis in Person. and as far as i'm concerned no one ever will. try some of the '68 comeback special. 'tryin' to get to you', 'lawdy, miss clawdy', 'one night', and all the rest are just next level for pure raw Elvis.

Elvis couldn't help himself. He felt the music deeply and hence couldn't not move

He was at the top of his game here! He’s Karate “black belt”, (hence the outfit) kept him in shape and definitely was able to control his breathing through this.He was full blown in his career! Glad I grew up watching it! I hope you grow to appreciate the Legacy! ALWAYS great live!!!

Elvis had an 8th degree black belt!! He was flexible for sure. ❤

[@GhostDrummer]

The fact that people all over the world know who Elvis is without him ever touring internationally is a testament to just how talented he and the musicians/singers he surrounded himself with were.

[@johnanderson6946]

One of a kind....the modern generation needs to know what impact this man on music...The King

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Elvis built that band behind him, before these performance, and demanded they give him the sound he heard in his mind, every performance, and at the period was a huge sound. Notice how he looks back, at Horns, drummer, choirs.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

His whole band and backing vocalists were tight and had fun together and one thing he's doing there when he's really going nuts is, he's looking back over his shoulder at his amazing drummer Ronnie Tutt. And they get into this feedback loop where they each egg each other on to go even more nuts. And check out the bass guitar line on that, oh my God that's insane. He always had the best people even from the early days. I am a firm believer in its better to listen to the studio cut first or you can focus 100% on what's happening with the music but there is a lot of Elvis that might defy that rule but one absolutely is his iconic If I Can Dream tribute to MLK not long after the assassination edit concludes his 1968 Comeback Special, which was a Christmas special but he absolutely refused to do a classic Christmas song at the end and insisted on this one that one of the producers and one of his close friends and songwriters wrote specifically for him once he said he wanted to do something about MLK. It's generally regarded as one of the greatest performances ever. You'll know it when you see the thumbnail because it's got his name really big behind him and he is in a white suit and a red tie and his hair is slicked back and he's there for business, not to mess around. It is so incredible you have no idea.

[@cog4life]

Epic!!

[@LM-hb6yn]

There is the rehearsal concert in the white suit and then the one from the actual broadcast concert... the latter is the best!

[@theccpisaparasite8813]

Yep, the whole band is tight and just killing it. One of those cases where 1+1=3

[@quintondees4501]

Keep going with Elvis, you'll be amazed by his incredible talent!!

[@jefflewis5852]

Love your doing the studio take first as just like you say you get to hear really what he is about before seeing the showman side. A great song to highlight this is "In the Ghetto" where the studio version is just divine and the live one is different as he made it a bit more upbeat. Keep up the journey and look forward to more of your Elvis reaction. Hi from England.

[@betsyjonex9364]

Great job, I think it's smart to compare performers eras. This of course was in 1970 Vegas. This shows the performer that knew how to entertain, he joked a lot with his fans. He won all attendance records that to this day have never been broken. Thanks for your reaction. Be Blessed

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thank you!

[@tlbeman]

Enjoyed your reactions. I grew up as a fan watching Elvis movies, and listening to him on the radio. When I watched the 1968 TV special, at 13, I was like, “Is this the same person?”. The 1973 Hawaii broadcast showed another side of him as a performer. Saw him in concert 1974..

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thank you!

[@jayeginn5963]

Elvis was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, in a 2 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory. Elvis always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather, Jesse Dunning Presley, was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. J.D. Presley was quite the racist a-hole, often drunk and a philandering husband to Minnie Mae (they were actually separated long before they finally divorced in 1954) who was always competing with his sons Vester and Vernon and who was known to abuse his kids when drunk. J.D. was was publicly against race mixing and was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. It was more publicly known that the Smith family had Native blood in their family tree, so when both his sons fell for 2 Smith sisters and Vernon, on top of that, was still a minor at 17 when he eloped with Gladys who was 4 years older than him, Jesse was totally pissed off. As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqOpdKyEgtuNjc0). One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.

[@michaelbouldin608]

There is a version of this song when he was in LV and he got into his squat and was close to the audience and looked at one of the ladies and said "I hope this suit don't tear up baby."

[@ronaldackerman7383]

The reason why he is better live not only does he enjoy it he feels the energy and he goes with the flow a very good one that you like to see it's show is Love me tender a must for you two as a couple to say what would you act if you were there live on the Las Vegas act before Elvis it was known as a place for entertainers to die because it was pretty much the end of their careers Elvis is a big reason that Las Vegas is the way it is today in fact with Elvis entertain Las Vegas as a whole group 10% more that's why I lost Vegas gave him a gold-plated belt again tried Love me tender and how would you act if you were there and Elvis did this thank you guys for your reaction

[@gorse9030]

I love any form of Elvis's music BUT I must say his live performance video's are the absolute BEST. Nothing can match his energy, his presence, seeing his expressions and humor while performing. Its so much fun, you can't stop from smiling when he smiles, swooning when he sings softly of love.. laughing when he shows his humorous side.. I can't even guess how many hours I've spent watching his video's, singing, interviews with him or with people that knew him, that had insight into the workings of his mind.. He was a very special person, on stage and off.. RIP Elvis, you are loved and missed always.

[@VincentManiscalco]

Seen him in the Nassau coliseum in 1974 ! I was 12 ! Absolutely amazing experience

[@sheliaspringer7389]

ELVIS had 778 more songs for you to cover! So please, give us MORE ELVIS! He was a chameleon of sorts...his voice, clothes, and variety of song choice! If you are not aware of his unbelievable humanity, then you really should do a little research and learn what this very extroardinary man was made of! He literally gave away more money, homes, cars, jewelry than any other artist has even come close to. He was a spectacular showman; YES, but he was such a wonderful man! We need more ELVIS PRESLEY'S in this world! It would be a much, much better world! 😢

[@254967conwell]

Met Elvis in 1969 when I was a bellhop at the Jockey Club in Miami and it was my turn to unload his limo and take his luggage up to his room. He had one huge Steamer trunk that I asked him where to put it I picked it up and he said Damn Hoss it took 2 people to load that in the Limo, and asked how tall I was and told him 6'5" and I just returned from Nam and he said welcome home, then told one of his guys to gave me a $10

When God created my friend Elvis he was just showing off. I can't tell you how much i love and miss him, there is not a day that goes by that i don't think of him and all the memories we made in 10 short years, his death knocked the wind out of me his funeral broke me. i have never been the same since, Elvis was the big brother i never had. He is also my guardian angel. Graceland is my go to place when it get's to hard to live w/o my friend i go there and walk around and remember Elvis and all the beautiful times we had together. He was the only person in my life that understood me and cared about my feelings and opinions. What it comes down to is we both needed a true friend and we were that for each other. I called him sexy jello because of the way he shook his legs and hips the 1st time i called him that he couldn't stop laughing. God bless you and your family from the one and only Memphis Tn. #forevermyking.

When Elvis first came out I was not a fan. I preferred his friend and fellow Sun Records singer Johnny Cash. Then when he was drafted into the Army I felt, he is one of us. He didn't try to run away and or buy his way out due to his celebrity he went into the service, kept his nose clean and served his country. I really got into his music once he got back to civilian life and he became of my favorites. RIP Elvis, and thank you for the memories. You indeed, were one of us Southern boys who knew how to live life.

elvis vegas run was 8 years. not show and go. His backup groups were a leading southern gospel men's group and the soul sisters Sweet Temtation. And the instrumentalists were all real pros. With Elvis as the featured front man and all this talent behind him. He was ENTERTAINING and talented and fun and touching and HIS AUDIENCE LOVED HIM. HIghlight of many lives seeing Elvis show in Vegas. You need to see the one where he goes into the audience kissing the women.
