People in that crowd said his voice was so powerful that he did not even need a microphone that night. Wish I had been there. 💙

[@patrickdevries6267]

Exactly! I'm one of these people in that crowd. i was there as a boy of 8 years old and believe me it is one of the best moments in my life! There are not enough words in a dictionary to describe how much I miss Elvis Presley THE GOAT!!!

[@melissacosler4811]

Elvis had a voice and a presence that was unmatched. The world lost a great man when he passed away. RIP ELVIS.

[@juliandawe1672]

No competition here, Nobody does it better .period. nobody will ever match this gifted man.. he has brought joy and continues to inspire present and future musicians. He is sorely missed.

[@debbyschultz1729]

This special was viewed by 1.5 billion people around the world in 1973!

[@christophermckinney3924]

You should check out this entire concert Elvis from Hawaii from 1972. It was the early days of satellite TV and very few channels on TV. Over 1 BILLION a people saw this concert live. It was shit from the University of Hawaii’s football stadium. This was Elvis at his peak before his health declined. This was Elvis as many of us remember him.

[@brentstevenson1484]

1.6 Billion people saw this show around the world he never again got in the physical or mental shape again the master of the stage .4 short years later 60 pounds overweight full blown addiction physical problems he was gone.But till the end that voice God gave him his love of his fans and preforming never left Never be a preformer of his magnitude again

[@jjbud3124]

He never lost his voice. Such bright flames burn out too fast.

[@juliekay4305]

❤

[@CarolynLuvsElvisForever0910]

Chills every single time I see this!! He was the greatest entertainer of all time!!❤

[@yambo59]

Elvis is a bonafide American and world wide performance icon, he grew up singing gospel and I think that is at the heart of why many of his song have so much soul - not to mention that regal voice that sounds like the roar of a mighty lion when he pours it on.

[@TexasMagnolia]

I never skip over a reaction to Elvis. There was and never will be anyone that can compare to Elvis and all that was about him. Thank you!

[@mslisadianemorse]

I remember my grandma watching this on tv. She loved Elvis.

[@Ms.Elvis.]

I could never pick a favorite Elvis Song. I love them all❤

[@michaelgibson3011]

Elvis is one in history.

[@michaelsellers9365]

I think you truly understand why so many of us loved seeing Elvis and listening to his music. I saw him in concert several times, and his performances were amazingHis voice was so incredible. When I was fortunate enough to be invited into Graceland, his uncle Vester treated me like a family member. Elvis father wrote me after my visit, and thanked me for a gift and caring about his health. It surprised me that Mr. Presley took time to do that. That were all a very nice and caring family. Thanks for the great job you are doing, Michael. Michael Sellers in Virginia

[@Wildlife_SA.]

Very nice reaction Michael. 1.5 billion people watched this concert worldwide via satellite. A first that has never been equalled. Please react to "Just Pretend" live in Las Vegas 1970. Thank you. 👍🌍🇿🇦🎶

[@jeanmichelscesa1157]

Hi ! An American Trilogy is a medley of 3 songs/anthems from the American folklore : “Dixie” / “Battle Hymne of the Republic” & “All my trials”. The reason why Elvis is staring at the flutist during his solo is because the guy made a wrong note during the dress rehearsal 2 days before ( also filmed with a public in case something was to go wrong with the world live broadcast ); you can feel the weight of Elvis’ stare on the guy’s face ! Hope that can help! TCB.

[@robertkarchunas559]

In April of 1977, my late wife and I seen Elvis at Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Elvis was an remarkable performer, and his voice never left him his entire life. Since his recordings in 1954 to 1977, he was the most humble human being on this planet! He never forgot where he came from, and his humility and generosity will always remain with us, and his memory will never die. May present and future entertainers take note of his kindness, humility and generosity, and be an example to us all. May we cherish the music he left us, and his memory live forever. Elvis, may you rest in peace my friend, and thank you for serving our country. ^ 5

[@jeremiahrose4681]

Elvis is the best, always will be the King of Rock....and there's a reason for that.

[@TexasMagnolia]

Highly recommended: How Great Thou Art!

[@winniethepoohandeeyore2]

THE KING! Nuff said

[@Vllencia]

Great reaction and such accurate comments. Elvis really was an amazing and soulful singer and performer. He was beautiful.

[@Paladin70]

Dixie is a term used to describe all of or a portion of the Southern US states. The song Dixie sung here was the unofficial anthem of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. Battle Hymn of The Republic (Glory Glory Hallelujah- 2nd song) was a rallying cry song for the Union (northern) states during the Civil War and, finally, All My Trials was a social protest song of the late 50s and 60s sung by folk singer Joan Baez and was primarily focused on civil rights for African Americans during those turbulent times which I remember all too well. A Trilogy is a compilation of three, usually in reference to songs or stories. PS: That was a flute and the “beads” were scarves and Hawaiian leis, or floral garlands.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

And I would further add that All My Trials (my favorite version of it is Joan Baez's), before it got picked up as a protest song in the folk movement, was originally from the Caribbean, I want to say the Bahamas, but it was basically a slave song that made its way over here long ago. That's what I love about this American Trilogy is that we have a song of the South, a song of the North, and a slave song. What a balanced treatment and of course sung and played so beautifully.

[@Paladin70]

@@stevedahlberg8680 Yeah it’s also known as Bahamian lullaby from around mid-fifties I believe. I agree that Joan’s is still the best, although I’ve seen some really good covers on Some of the singing competition shows over the years.

[@johnbattles1002]

FINALLY, someone who is able to write an intelligent, educated comment! THANK YOU!

[@carolhayar3037]

Trivia re: the Hawaii ramp: Producer/director Marty Pasetta told Parker 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 (Pasetta knew how important the audience was to Elvis). Parker 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. Paseta 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. Imagine how different that concert would have been if Elvis didn't have the option to get in close contact w-his audience. HE would have been just as spectacular, but without the ramp the concert would have had a very different feel. Thank you for your appreciation of our Man. And thank you for your good timing of comments which does not come on top of his singing.

[@barbaramarkland7441]

YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT CAREFULLY HE BOWS HIS HEAD THEN WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO START THE HORNS THATS WHEN HE ENGAGES STRENGTH OFF BRINGING ALONG SHOWING YES , WE ARE NOW INTO GLORY, GLORY HALIUYA. EVERY STEP HE MADE WAS AWAYS A REASON IF YOU LOOK AWAY OR TALK TO MUCH YOU WON'T LEARN WHO HE IS. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR KIND WORDS. 💚💚💚 FROM AN IRISH-AMERICAN OLD LADY.💞

[@WhiskeyStraightAl]

I love this. His Gospel singing was amazing. Truly one of a kind - the king for a reason. Cheers Michael.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

A song of the South, a song of the North, and a Slave spiritual. What a balanced treatment and just so masterfully sung and played. And yes I got the goosebumps, especially on that long hard stare! If you haven't done his Simon and Garfunkel Cover Bridge Over Troubled Water yet, he does it live in Vegas I think in 1970 and it's usually the first result. And in fact I think the very first result says better sound. But it's not substantially any different than any other version of it. Anyway, it will blow you away. It's just so masterful. And when Paul Simon heard Elvis perform it at Madison Square Garden in New York city, he more or less through his hands up and said, Well, it's Elvis's song now!

[@RobertNorthrop]

Elvis injected the Holy Spirit into my veins with this performance. "American Trilogy" is a combination of 3 songs depicting 3 different points of view of the Civil War: 1. Dixieland (The South), 2. All My Trials (the Slaves) 3. Battle Hymn of the Republic (the Union). If you want to see another performance where Elvis hands off I recommend "Why Me Lord?" (hands off to JD Sumner) -1974 Memphis and "Just Can't Help Believing" (hands off to his backups, the Sweet Inspirations)1970 Vegas.

[@johntynio3416]

The Greatest Song of all time, an Elvis song, 'I Got Stung'! Yeah!

[@reneehoughton6687]

Awesome reaction! Elvis will forever live on thanks to you and others like you. Thank you!

[@learningliving2600]

It's almost like, dare I say, something holy about Elvis that is within him. People feel it but they can't name it. At least that's what I experience at times.

[@stevenoels2757]

Really great reaction. This is not really a gospel song, it is based on the battle hymn of the republic a civil war anthem. He was amazing, incredible entertainer, no flashy choreography just pure feeling in the moment. He will be remembered forever. BTW not a tin whistle, it is a flute, Thanks nice reaction.

[@nancy9891]

Elvis directed his band completely while on stage. Such a beautiful song. The Civil War killed those from the north and south. So beautiful!

[@jjbud3124]

I think Elvis always did a gospel song in every performance. At least he did in the ones I saw. I watched this on live TV as it happened, went to a couple of concerts, and saw him in Vegas. The way Elvis could sing softly like an angel and then switch to pure power was amazing.

[@triman95]

He was truly a great performer. It says something about what he put into his gospel music that the only Grammys he ever received were for Gospel songs.

[@merrywave221]

Thanks for giving such a sincere & heartfelt reaction to Elvis' performance here and his legacy !

[@paulhuggett7503]

You call Elvis humble but you're very humble in your super and lovely reaction. Thank you so much for understanding Elvis and in a neat way understanding his voice and music and how much he affected us all in such a kind and sincere way ... and will Always do so. Brilliant reaction.♥

[@michaelwduffy]

Wow thanks so much Paul means the world my friend!! 😁🙏 all the best!!!

[@GENX.80SGIRL]

Great reaction!! I've loved elvis ever since I was a baby, my mum use to play elvis on 24/7 when I was a kid & into my teens.. American trilogy is my favourite elvis song, but I love "if I can dream" as well..

[@marianoloughlin1491]

Yes irish Evlis could sing anything what a voice u well never here that again in this life time he loved god so he is in God house know

[@GweninKC]

Love your reaction and your obvious respect and admiration for Elvis. I was blessed to see him perform live twice and nothing can compare. The energy is the auditorium was electric and the charisma that Elvis had in person was indescribable.

[@patrickj.7887]

Now that you mentioned it...I seen Elvis in concert, Pittsburgh, 1972!

[@debbiebowman1830]

I heard someone call him the king one time and he said no I'm a entertainer Jesus Christ is the only king

[@davidmcclellan4071]

The land of cotton is beyound Ky.. Go on down to La., Georgia, Ms., Ar..These lands are so great one does not know. This song is one of Elvis' greatest, but all his songs are great. I saw Elvis in Tulsa. Unless you were there, you would not understand the power of that concert.

[@cog4life]

When called the King, he always said, there’s only one King..Jesus. True, if you don’t feel it, check your pulse

[@normalisgone]

One of my favorite Elvis songs is Tomorrow Is A Long Time. It was written by Bob Dylan, and there's no live performance that I've found, but it is absolutely beautiful! It's all the 'smoothness' of Elvis!

[@thomasinman8931]

Michael, I was really impressed with your reaction to Elvis. Hopefully your generation and those that follow will continue to listen to him. His memory must never end. He was a huge part of all us 'Baby Boomers " generation. If you listen to Elvis for the first time in your life, you'll just keep going back for more. He left a huge foot print in the entertainment world and his memory will not soon be forgotten. May he rest in peace!

[@triman95]

When the video ended it gave another suggestion of what to listen to. "In The Ghetto" was a very powerful performance and song. It was written by Mac Davis I believe.

[@vonnietorraville1058]

Try how great tho art.by Elvis.one of my favourite.Vonnie ❤❤❤❤❤

[@michellejackson6679]

I'm so digusted with the Rolling Stones magazine coming out with their top 200 and ELVIS is #17... WTF.. he is the King. I just can't....and my first memories of Elvis was truly when he passed... my mother went into mourning, lol, truly.. she made my sister and I tape every radio show... I was 10... but at that point in time.. my favs were... Are you lonesome tonight and If I can dream. The 68 comeback special came out when I was 1 but If i Can Dream became my # 1 At 12

[@wheelmobile33]

Saw him 3 times in his prime in the earley 70s he was that good nobody in his league still in 2023 nice to see young people watching the greatest

[@bella-xp7qd]

I sa2 him twice, it was an experience. I also still have tickets for his August 20, 1977 show. Paid $15.00 He passed away August 16, 1977.

[@dolourfitzgibbon6065]

Yeah, and the mediocre talent today demand 100s, thousands for tickets.. Also half the time they lip sync Elvis was truth, no one compares.

[@kimberlystewart2735]

You nailed the spirit of Elvis. Thanks for the review. My favorite song is if I can dream. Best performance ever filmed.

[@colonelb]

Great reaction buddy. Elvis is best known for some of his rock and roll hits of course, but his first love was gospel and some of his gospel performances REALLY show off his range way more than his rock songs. Check out his version of Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art, or Peace In the Valley. His version of Swing Down, Sweet Chariot is really great as well.

[@michaelwduffy]

Thanks a million colonel!!! Will def add those to the list my friend!! 😁

[@carolhayar3037]

Trilogy- a medley of three uniquely American pieces: “Dixie,” (dixie means 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 lullaby related to African American spirituals sung by protesting folksingers of the 1950s.

[@Brnies]

My mom was pregnant with me when my Papa (the milkman in Shreveport LA) delivered milk one morning to an 18-ish yr old Elvis and his parents that were renting a small house in town while Elvis was playing the Louisiana Hayride. Elvis was as genuine of a person and humble soul as you can imagine. His biggest influences were deep south, poor black folk, rock, rhythm, and blues. They were very poor. Elvis had a spark that couldn't be denied, and he was doggedly determined to take care of his mama, yes, he was a mama's boy, but show me a man that isn't if his mom was worth her salt. Elvis will live on due to his unique individualism and ability to appeal across all genre's. He's not called "The King" for no reason.

[@mariaamorim1460]

FANTASTIC...FANTASTIC...FANTASTIC...

[@brettcantrell8650]

Michael it is so good to know that you know the Lord. Yes there is only One King above us all and we love His instrument Elvis.

[@violawar]

If I can dream...

[@jeffreyweitzman6463]

Elvis did - everything, why he united people both black and white in music...as great as the likes of others such as Buddy Holly were also in the 50's no one back then achieved what Elvis did to transform Rock and roll and music full stop! John Lennon: Before Elvis there was nothing.

[@triman95]

American Trilogy is about the 2 sides of the Civil War. "Dixie" is of course the (unofficial) anthem of the confederate states. "Battle hymn of the Republic" represents the Northern side. "All my trials" represents the tragedy, waste, and death the war caused. Kind of an Ant-War song if you will. I've always loved Elvis rendition of it. Gives me Goosebumps.

[@robinmcpherson7981]

Best there ever was or will be.

[@Goddybag4Lee]

"What Now My Love" might be my all time favorite.

[@amandarayray9340]

He is amazing!!!

[@tonylansdale9896]

Elvis was the first concert my wife went to when she was in 4th grade.

[@zoocheeks]

I live about an hour from Memphis. When Elvis was first making movies, my mom and her sisters borrowed their dad’s car to go to the “ library “. They actually went into town to see an Elvis movie. They weren’t allowed to watch Elvis because of the way he would dance. It wasn’t decent. They got in so much trouble. She said it was definitely worth it. All the girls were just crazy about him. We live in NE Arkansas. Elvis played and sang at gymnasiums and sock hops in this area all the time in the early part of his career. Every time these girls went to a dance, it had to be in the back of their minds that this could be the day they would meet Elvis. Lol! I like all of his songs. I will say that “You Gave Me a Mountain “ has me wondering how on earth he does it. Amazing.

[@richardkilgore8922]

Dixie combined with the Battle Hym of the Republic. 🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸 Abraham Lincoln's favorite song! To secure these words " we believe these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal by their creator " Glory Hallua !

[@raymondpruitt8642]

Michael, welcome to our world! The undisputed greatest of all time.

[@pineapplequeen9886]

They're leis, honey. We give them to show our love for someone. He had to keep taking them off because more kept being given to him. We loved Elvis and he loved Hawaii as well. He not only vacationed there multiple times, but he made quite a few movies there as well. And it was viewed by 1.5 billion people around the world. It was held at our NBC (Neal Blaisdell Center) Arena in Honolulu, O'ahu, Hawai'i. My fave Elvis song was Trouble, which was sung in my fave Elvis movie, King Creole. You should check it out; he really wanted to be a dramatic actor. Sidenote: why is there a bottle of mayonnaise behind you? Lol

[@robbansa]

Very good reaction, we want more Elvis.

[@waynechristensen9932]

The song is a trio of songs about the civil war. It was one of his very few political statements. The story goes that Priscilla and a friend were out shopping and Priscilla heard the song on the radio, sung by the writer, a dude named Micky Newberry. She came home and told him all about it. He checked it out and decided to do it. Strangely enough, many critics sneered at him singing Battle Hymn of the Republic (the Glory Hallelujah part of the song.) History has proved that those critics were full of excrement. The song is an awesome performance and a perfect statement of where Elvis stood in relation to his status as a southerner.

[@Manolo0528]

The 1st portion of the song is from “Dixie”, a folk song about the Southern US. Written a few years before the US Civil War and adopted by the Confederacy in the US Civil War. Written by a NORTHERNER from Ohio. The 2nd portion is from “Battle Hymn of the Republic”. It was specifically created as a marching hymn of the Union Army in the US Civil War. Written by Julia Ward Howe who was also responsible for the creation of Mother’s Day. The 3rd portion of the song is from “All My Trials”. It’s a lullaby from the Bahamas written in the 1950s.

[@AngelasJoys]

My favorite is "The Wonder of You." It's been said he was really talking about God. I was godmother to someone who became a Catholic at about age 45 and he was an Elvis fan and played it on his baptismal day.

[@enigmawrappedinaparadox7361]

[@MustangTerry]

I agree with your 2 favorites, but if you want to hear total vocal perfection.... check out Bridge Over Troubled Waters, by Elvis and you will be blown away...

[@theresa6955]

The land of cotton refers to the South. The Glory glory hallelujah is the Battle Hymn of the Republic (that was the Battle hymn for the North during the Civil War between the North and South. Elvis is the greatest singer, best looking, spiritual, generous person ever. Take a listen to him sing In The Ghetto written by Mac Davis. A story that was true when Davis wrote it in 1969 and still true today. Elvis' Manager, Col. Parker, did not want him to record it because it was too controversial, but Elvis did it anyway a great song. Long Live The King ❤❤❤❤❤

[@dianedove1000]

I think this was his Hawaii Concert, thus the leis around his neck. You can probably find the whole concert on video.

[@carolhayar3037]

yes, it is Hawaii 1973, & there are 2 versions, the rehearsal & the one that went live on tv
