So diff than today’s stars. No Lip Sync, Auto tune, backing tracks . This is talent !

[@user-er8kz2jg6o]

He actually cared too. He truly loved music and performing.

[@jayeginn5963]

This was from 1970 in Las Vegas. He was 35 here and broke all Las Vegas attendance records with people flying in from all over the world to see him in concert. He had the best backing band, backing vocalists and orchestra for his Las Vegas Live shows. The TCB Band was a group of professional musicians who formed the core rhythm section of Elvis Presley's band from August 1969 until his death in 1977. TCB stands for Taking Care of Business, a personal motto of Elvis. The original members were James Burton (lead guitar), Jerry Scheff (bass), John Wilkinson (rhythm guitar), Larry Muhoberac (keyboards, later Glenn Hardin) and Ronnie Tutt (drums. They first appeared live at Presley's Las Vegas, Nevada first performance at the Hotel International on July 31, 1969. His male backing vocalists were The Imperials (from 1969-1971; later J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet from 1971-1977), soprano Millie Kirkham (until 1971, from then on Kathy Westmoreland), and the female backing vocalists The Sweet Inspirations.

[@llschnitz]

Give his incredible singers credit too! THREE groups of singers at the same time! J.D. Sumner and The Stamps (Male Gospel Quartet) and The Sweet Inspirations, and the other group of girls led by Kathy Westmoreland. Also the incredible orchestra, conducted by Jim Guercio, who also worked with The Beach Boys as well as Elton John (Caribou album).

[@tpatrick44]

Thanks to Both of You for listing the credits of the band and BR singers. Elvis was a GREAT, once in a Lifetime Entertainer. He was a very kind and giving man as well. RIP Elvis🙏

[@janewells5970]

Elvis changed music forever! And he paid a heavy price ❤

[@lechat8533]

Since you are a drummer, this was the fantastic Ron Tutt on the drums. Elvis didn`t drink alcohol. He didn`t take drugs. He had health issues and was addicted to prescription drugs. He died of heart failure. I find it`s great when young people learn more about Elvis. Elvis is the most famous entertainer in the world and at the same time the most underrated artist. Thanks for your reaction. Wishing you all the best. Greetings from Slovenia :)

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

Elvis started taking drugs when he was in the army.

[@lindasuarez1050]

Elvis and the drummer, Ronnie Tutt, had a percussion connection. They fed off of each other. As you go down the Elvis Presley rabbit hole, you’ll notice he is most often in front of the drummer in live performances. A few performances to check out: American Trilogy (impeccable instrumentation and backing vocals), Aloha From Hawaii 1973; Bridge Over Troubled Water, live in Las Vegas 1970; Love Me Tender (will blow your mind as compared to today’s germaphobia); My Way and I’ll Remember You, Aloha From Hawaii; and Bridge Over Troubled Water and You’ve Lost That Lovin Feeling, both live in Las Vegas, 1970. EP’s catalog is vast. So sit back, get comfortable, and buckle up! I’m so glad EP is getting exposure with the younger generation. I’m 67, and if not for the resurgence of his music by the movie and these reactions, Elvis might’ve died off with my generation. Did you know that was his greatest fear … that he would be forgotten? Rest easy EP … we’ve got you. Great reaction. New sub. Much love ❤️

[@jefffinn1105]

That "Memphis Gang" must be his home studio guys. That GREAT drummer was Ronnie Tutt & the amazing bass was Jerry Scheff who played with lots of bands including the Doors. Lead guitar, very subtle & understated here is the legendary James Burton who can shred without a sweat but is always an ensemble player, he goes back to the rockabilly 1950s.

[@visaman]

He meant the Memphis Mafia. I have no idea what this guy was reading from?

[@delilahmorrow4606]

Elvis picked all his back up singers, instrument players & led them all with gestures. He did it all.

[@ccollins2890]

Now you know why the parents of the day were outraged over his performances! lol You saw him on The Ed Sullivan's Show, where cameras were forbidden to dip below his waist. He was a sweetheart of a rebel. He included lots of trends in his music that were popular at the time he made them. Two constants; his terrific voice and his charisma.

[@carriemichelle322]

If I Can Dream in white suit, 68 Comeback Special is a tribute to MLK after his assassination. Very powerful performance ❤

[@carolhayar3037]

Just a mention here that If I Can Dream also encompassed the assassination of Robert Kennedy, which Elvis & producer-director Steve Binder saw on the TV news when it happened. They spent a # of hrs. in discussion w-Elvis expressing his thoughts & feelings about the world in turmoil which included Vietnam (the red tie for the blood shed in Vietnam). The song's composition was the hope for a world of peace & harmony. Thanks.

[@janewells5970]

So powerful! Love it!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Oh and I forgot to point out that Whitney Houston's mother Cece was part of the backing vocalists just months before this, but she had to leave to go take care of her new baby.

[@fast4wood]

I heard John Lennon say that there wouldn't be The Beatles if there was no Elvis .. Elvis was the first rock super star . They both lived up to the hype , to say the least.

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

Lennon said that because Elvis wanted Lennon and the beatles thrown out of America because they were going to be more popular than Elvis.

[@user-oe9hj9yl7m]

And that’s why he changed music when he first hit public awareness!!!!!

[@IanRob2011]

I was at this show. Seen him 3 times between1969-1970. He had fun on stage and the band and singers were fantastic. The karate moves helped direct his backup people. He held a black belt in karate. He was the greatest I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen Robert Plant, and a lot of the 70,s forward music.

[@ignatzmuskrat3000]

Elvis was one of the last great Entertainers; the class of people who cut their back teeth on the stage doing it all. They knew how to hold and command a stage.

[@hillsboroughguy]

Thank you for reacting to Elvis us older and forever fans truly appreciate it

[@emerald1805]

I am a fellow drummer. Ronnie Tutt has always been one of my biggest influences. I saw Elvis LIVE - with Ronnie Tutt on drums. Jerry Scheff on bass. His whole band and orchestra was always amazing. Elvis could afford the best studio musicians to tour with him, and he got them.

[@thymeout4rosemary446]

I could tell the other day, that you didn’t know how great Elvis was. There will never be an another. Elvis selected all his backup singers and musicians. Check out early Elvis in 1956 on Ed Sullivan, Oct 28, 1956 singing Hound Dog. You might also enjoy his Sept 9th on Sullivan, singing Ready Teddy. 82.6% of televisions were tuned into to check out Elvis.

[@spirit-cologne7453]

The drummer was Ronnie Tutt, a master of his art! If you liked this one you will also love "polk salad annie" (live 1970 Las Vegas)

[@scottmoore1614]

My mom and dad saw Elvis in Greensboro, NC in 1974. I was four years old. I always wish they had taken me. It would have have been my first concert.

[@proudarmymom8657]

Elvis was a black belt that’s why he can move the way he does!

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

honorary black belt.

[@toodlescae]

1970. Ronnie Tutt was on drums live. He said playing drums for Elvis live was like drumming for a stripper because he was so unpredictable. 😂 Elvis was the very first Superstar.

[@neillenet291]

Actually Frank Sinatra was the first superstar.

[@toodlescae]

@@neillenet291 Frank was popular but he didn't draw the huge audiences that Elvis did with people flying in from all over the world to attend a concert. I love Old Blue Eyes. He was a great actor and singer and he was a star but he wasn't a superstar like Elvis.

[@neillenet291]

@toodlescae Sinatra was Elvis before Elvis. No one really knows how many people he could have packed into a venue because they didn't have huge concerts back then. Sinatra was also the great actor Elvis never got to become. Sinatra won an Academy Award. He is regarded as one of the most popular entertainers of the 20th century. Sinatra is among the world's best-selling music artists, with an estimated 150 million record sales globally. I'm a HUGE Elvis fan, but Sinatra was the first superstar. You have to remember that Elvis came along in the age of television and teenagers. The media was in its infancy when Sinatra was starting off. Also completely different styles of music. Elvis was high energy, Sinatra was a crooner.

[@MisterMasterShafter1]

This was Elvis' live band, the TCB Band - the members were James Burton (lead guitar), Jerry Scheff (bass), John Wilkinson (rhythm guitar), Larry Muhoberac and Glen Hardin (keyboards) and Ronnie Tutt (drums). Different players on the record, still great as well.

[@Cheryworld]

Elvis had some professionals in his band. They knew their jobs

[@irmaoksanen6830]

Thank you to who requested this one. Elvis at his best. Prelude to his concert in Hawaii (1970's) that was the first satellite broadcast around the world. You can find it on YT. He was a martial arts black belt and incorporated the moves in his live shows.

[@damienross5013]

The one and only King..from gospel and blues to the grandftaher of rock & roll.to his movies, to his comeback then to theLas Vega Glitz, the best and most charismatic performer ever! Gone way to young, first in mind then in body> You can't go wrong in any Elvis song!

[@sopala3952]

The band and him were literally in tune with each other through this performances…they watched him all the time as he would always change up things and they had to be on their toes.

[@carriemichelle322]

There was so much love and respect on that stage! Elvis controlled the band with his body. The drummer Ronnie Tutt and Elvis played off each other. Lol Thank you so much for reacting to Elvis!! If you like the blues, check out Stranger In My Own Hometown X-rated Blues Version. ⚡👑😎

The most charismatic singer entertainer and humanitarian ever!!! No one today can match his brilliance 💕 No auto tunes back then and if there were he wouldn't need it 😊

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Dude what you saw on The Ed Sullivan Show would have been in 1956 or 1957 most likely, he would have been 21 or 22 years old. This is literally 14 years later. So you can't even compare the two. Elvis always had the best musicians. In the early days it was Scotty Moore on guitar, highly respected, DJ Fontana on drums, who was amazing, and Bill Black on standup bass, who sadly died way too early. But once he finally got out of his onerous record contract with so-called "Colonel" Tom Parker, who was actually an illegal immigrant from Holland and would have been extradited immediately upon landing anyplace but United States territory, which is why Hawaii was the farthest that he ever allowed Elvis to roam, even though people from all over the world were clamoring for a world tour, but on the other hand that 1973 Aloha from Hawaii show was broadcast by satellite to nearly 1.5 billion people. I'm not sure that has been matched even today. But anyway, once he got out of that movie contract, he was really itching to start playing live again, and so he assembled the band that would mostly be his band till the end. By the time of this show, and this was a somewhat different lineup than that studio lineup that you read, this band was so damn tight. They were so good. And the backing singers were highly respected and Ronnie on drums and just everybody was incredible. They really pushed themselves hard at these shows. And this is just one of several performances. Speaking of that, there are several other Great Performances to this show and I have seen people have a good time reacting to them. Bridge Over Troubled Water if you really want to hear him sing, and then Polk Salad Annie for some more just fun stuff. All from the 1970 in Vegas show. Finally, you might want to go back and watch "Elvis" the movie again, and watch it really closely. Baz Luhrmann directed it and it's pretty fantastic. It doesn't say everything you could say about Elvis' fascinating story, but it hits a whole lot, and it's generally accurate. And it had Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley's approval. #RIPLisaMarie.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Ronnie Tutt rules!

[@user-gz5xt1lj4t]

He was earth shattering, I saw him on Sullivan in 1956 I was 12, we never saw anything like him. Our parents freaked out, he recorded over 700 songs, in 5 halls of fame, In this performance, This is the TCB band, Ronnie Tutt on drums, Jerry Sheft on base, James Burton on lead guitar, Glenn Harden on piano, the sweet inspirations singing. He was a phenom, you are smart. he was so much more than most know. His 68 comeback special was his return after a 9 year absence making movies. His manager was evil, and took 50%. I hope you can react to many of these real time documentaries. "Elvis Presley and the Black Community" and see what he went through in a segregated US when white stations would not play black music, till he changed that. I hope you will play "Trying to Get to you" live from the 68 special. Loved your comments. Thanks. I subbed, 🤩Mary

[@Jeri_C11]

He and Ronnie Tutt (drummer) were always in constant sync. Ronnie passed away not too long ago in 2018. That band you spoke of was his recording band but he hired the best when he started in concert. Great talent. There’s a rehearsal in which Ronnie hit the drum for Elvis’s every move and it’s so funny. Elvis tried to trick him by lifting his leg to sit and Ronnie didn’t miss a bit. Bless you. Keep it up. My wonderful brother lost the battle and died at age 42( same as Elvis). He was a brilliant guy, spoke 5 languages. He taught Japaneses students learn English. He had just gotten a job with the United Nations when he passed. I had just help bury my best friend in his 30’s 2 weeks before from a brain tumor leaving his wife and 2 children,when I received a call from my sister to get to the Hospital as soon as possible. We drove an hour and I’m a Nurse in a critical care unit, but when I walked in I slid down the wall to my knees. First time I’d ever done that even though had suffered losses at a young age. He passed that night and he had hidden his struggles well. We all thought he was doing better. So, if you ever get tempted again, please think of my story and don’t put your child or loved ones through it. I think of him every day. Bless you sir and thanks for playing Elvis. He really was a truly great man & a phenomenal talent. That level of fame is tough for anyone to handle. I remember Whitney Houston saying “ success is great, it’s the fame that kills you”. Oddly her mom was a back up singer for Elvis & so she went through it twice with two people she loved. Elvis and then later her own daughter. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🎸🕺🏻🎸🕺🏻🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️❤️❤️❤️

[@user-hg6gd7rq2m]

I decided to subscribe after your second reaction to Elvis. I am absolutely ecstatic that you’ll be reacting to more of his music. It’s unfortunate that the younger generation has an altered perception of this man and that’s unfortunate but through your reactions and other people will get the true magnificent performer, not only performer, but what a genuinely magnificent, kind and humble this person was. I think we love him so much, not necessarily for the music but the man behind it. If you love this, then you will llove Polk salad, Annie, live Las Vegas 1973. It’s incredible. I’ve been an Elvis fan for 68 years since I’m five years old and he’s been my hero my entire life The day Elvis died. I was in my teens, but it was perhaps looking back one of the saddest days of my entire life. I was fortunate enough to see him in concert at least eight times and those are such monumental moments I can’t even begin to tell you. Unfortunately, not your fault you don’t know much about Elvis but the backing band and the information you gave was not correct. It was a mixture of different separate performers that he personally chose. It was not a band name so to speak. Another suggestion would be if I can dream from the 1968 comeback special. It’s a dedication Martin Luther King, and Robert F Kennedy Junior after their assassination. That performance is so emotionally charged that I really feel it will knock your socks off. I hope you don’t mind me, suggesting that you watch Elvis and the black community and Elvis A generous heart it’s a two-part mini documentary that is not blocked on KZbin. I guess you’re wondering why I’m asking you to do this it’s because if you wonder why people love him so much to this day and he has new generations of fans it’s because of the person he was and the music sometimes I think was secondary. He broke the racial barriers between black and white music and because of Elvis Presley black entertainers were able to emerge. There’s so much to learn, but if you watch Elvis and the black community you’ll get a real feel for how it was 60 some odd years ago. God bless you God keep you safe and once again from the very bottom of my heart, I so so appreciate your reacting to Elvis. I can’t explain the joy it brought to my heart that you actually enjoyed him. And the new biopic Elvis was really close to the truth. I’ve been following him All of my life, and I am so educated on every aspect of him that I found the movies to be very much near the truth so I would suggest watching the full movie. It was worth it. Again, God bless and keep you safe and thank you.

The Studeo Single of Suspicious Minds was released in 1969. This Live Preformance was recorded in Aug 1970 During Filming for the Concert Documentary, Elvis "That's The Way it Is" which was released in Theaters in 1970. Elvis's Band was the TCB Band James Burton (Lead Guitar) Glen Hardin (Piano) Jerry Scheff (Bass) John Wilkinson (Rythem Guitar) Ronni Tutt (Drums), Female Backup Singers were The Sweet Inspirations, Male Back up Singers were the Jordeners. With the Joe Gershaw Orchestra.

[@carrerlluna66]

Hey Lee from Ned in Spain. As far as I know the drummer is Ronnie Tutt, who is a monster, James Burton on guitar and the fantastic bassist Jerry Scheff. Burton had a long career starting with 50's teen idol Ricky Nelson, then 1000s of sessions, as well as Elvis' main man for a while. Jerry was also a session master and is even on the Doors LA Woman LP. The beautiful Black women singing back up were the Sweet Inspirations. Whitney Houstons mother, Cissy, had been a member but left in 1969. They had hit records on their own as well. This is peak 68 - 70 Elvis and you should look for the movie coz it's amazing.

Baby boomer here born in 1955 and grew up loving Elvis and still do at 69... I don't know where you are in your Elvis research but just in case you're just starting out my recommendation to you would be to dig and dig and dig online so the algorithm keeps bringing you all of his stuff don't stop until you know you've listened to every single thing about him nothing will ever disappoint you❤❤ Also if you're at the beginning of your rabbit hole on Elvis I would recommend watching Elvis and the black community part one and two you'll get a real quick learn on where he started from how he got treated and how he was misjudged and what he went through in his early life... Then look up the Memphis Mafia those are the guys who knew him best and hung out with him day and night...

Seeing this got me thinking… I have never known Elvis. When I was little, my mother introduced me to the Beatles, but not Elvis. Elvis is such a legend, people regard him as a king, he’s everywhere. I tried to get into him, but never found the appeal… It’s interesting to see his performance here. I see a charisma, good voice, and good looks, but it feels kind of frantic to me. I noticed other comments recommending his 1967 Comeback Concert. I found it here on KZbin and watched part of it. It’s an incredible concert! It’s intimate, just a black leather clad Elvis and his close musician friends on a flat platform, closely surrounded by the audience, doing songs from their roots, thumping percussion with their feet. Elvis is himself spectacularly, and gives everything, speaking and singing to his audience with such a grounded presence. I think it must have been before his addictions. He does “That’s Alright Mama”, one of his first hits, and it’s great! This is the Elvis I think the Beatles idolized! Thank you, Lee, Texas Angel, and Scott! For this Elvis Suspicious Minds performance.

[@corawheeler9355]

I was a big Elvis fan .. bought all the records ... saw all the movies. But what a sad life. Pills to wake up ... pills to go to sleep ... dead at 42. Trapped in his fame. Can you imagine not being able to go out for a walk without being mobbed? The Beatles had screaming fans, but now Paul McCartney can go out to dinner, etc.

The band list you read was from the recording session. Different band all together. On the Drums here is as Elvis always introduced him "Hard Working,, Ronnie Tutt". Don't know if you noticed, Elvis liked to stand in front of the drums. Also Drummer Ronnie Tutt almost didn't get the gig being the last on the list to audition. The rest of the band was not sure about him but Elvis said, he gets me he gets my Temperament.

Check out Polk Salad Annie and Patch it up 1970 That’s the way it is. Elvis had a short twenty year career but he put out a lot of work in that time. He transitioned from his early 1956 TV appearances and live concerts. Then almost 10 yrs. Movie career followed by 1969 comeback special, then Los Vegas and full circle back to live concerts touring was his love to return to his fans. The last concert 1977 filmed less than two months before he died at age 42. This last performance not his best because he was very sick and in pain. Makes me cry to know what he had been. I put is heart and sole into it and it is memorable but heartbreaking. Elvis is forever loved by his faithful fans. Good luck to you. Experience life with open eyes young man.

No one except me, not a single one of the thirty reactors that have listened to this notice this. He tilts his head down and mumbles that part really quickly, with a grin on his face. Elvis LOVED to screw with the lyrics, and change words to make the songs funny. I have more examples as well. Elvis fans are familiar with him doing this.

In the 70s Elvis's backing band was called the TCB Band. James Burton was lead guitar, Ronnie Tutt drums and Glenn Wilkinson on bass.

He was a black belt karate and he did the arrangement of the band and back up singers. I love that you recognize Elvis’ talent, it gives pleasure. You have only heard a small “tip of the iceberg”, he is a one of a kind…….. entertainer. ❤ Elvis received much criticism as a young entertainer accused of being vulgar with his moves to his songs as he sang, which was natural for him. He had his share of backlash in his early days, the religious community attempted to ban his music encouraging disk jockeys at radio stations to destroy his records and to refrain from playing his music.

Elvis was an honorary black belt. Elvis DID NOT! arrange anything.

rhthym, rock and soul, with an ochestra - and it works because he produced it all. One of a kind

Elvis Presley was The King Of Rock and Roll, and "Suspicious Minds" was one of his biggest hits. Never got to see Elvis Live and In Person, but I did get to see a great cover version by one of the bigger bands around today, PHISH. In this case it was the Drummer, Jon Fishman, wearing an electrically light-up cape, singing this song, and very well I might add. I mean, he's NOT Elvis, but he was pretty darn good.

a title given to him by white America.

Terrific Bass line as well.

The band members you named were studio musicians only. His band, the TCB Band, as they have since been known, were a remarkable group of musicians that toured with him. The Beatles can’t hold a candle to what EP did. Go down the rabbit hole, dude!
