Elvis interview; June 9, 1972 - New York City, New York

Possibly the most famous interview/press conference Elvis ever gave - the one he did on June 9th '72, only hours before he opened his three-day, four-show stay at the world famous Madison Square Garden.
Elvis met with the NY media at the local Hilton, and from there went back to rehearsals before finally facing the tough NY crowd the same day...
The clip is compiled from multiple different sources but is essentially complete - it may be missing (audio-wise) seconds here and there but nothing drastic. Footage is missing more than that and we deiced the best way to "cover" those parts is simply with a photo over the audio.

Man. This man was so genuine, modest, and noble. This is one of my favorite interviews he had ever given.

[@MindBlower18]

Humble, polite, funny, extremely gifted & blessed with an endless charisma! This is ELVIS 👌Best from 🇩🇪

[@margarettaylor8107]

Elvis never changed.Never forgot his roots.He had super manners and treated everyone with respect.Everyone and I man everyone said the same thing about him..he is the nicest kindest sweetest most generous man they ever met and that when he entered the room you knew it before you saw him because you would get chills and static electricity.They all said he was the most charistmatic most gorgeous sexiest man they ever met.Elvis said the image was one thing .the man another.He wanted to be loved for the man he was a man seeking to please God and make people happy through his music.Irreplaceable Elvis.

Elvis presley was only Human.

[@hirdy6]

His manners were truly outstanding, 'I beg your pardon' 'Sir', he was an extremely classy fella.

[@julieeales]

Brought up well Vernon and Gladys did a good Job

[@Cynthia00007]

Of course, his mama Gladys raised him Right. He has made his mama Proud.

[@gtamediaproductions1]

The most popular guy in the world and yet so humble with people.

[@lillianthomas8445]

It’s so amazing to listen to him talk and see his thought process and his humor and yet be so down to earth and modest, as huge as he was. You don’t see that today, they walk around with attitudes and divas

[@heikebohne8864]

Hello, that is so beautiful, unique...... To see Him never again is rather sad. 🌹🌹

[@FullHouseFanatic]

seeing Elvis is like seeing a walking talking living breathing institution. He represents so many things to so many people, he has been the cause of so many cultural changes and upheavals and has given joy and fun to the world like no other. yet he was a human being living his own life with his own struggles and worries and needs and joys. to see all of this represented in a human is pretty overwhelming to see. You literally feel that there is a strong force of nature you're watching even on video. let alone how it must have felt to be in his presence.

[@GKRENKEL]

He is charming and sincere.. and wonderful.

[@judithking3436]

The one and only. ELVIS. He knew how to handle the media... answers humor talent charismatic looks polite respectful to everyone. Talk about the King of Rock and Roll. He would still be having number one hits today 2018

[@micdom43]

Gorgeous

[@sandramiller8701]

Elvis Presley was a man w Charisma a a funny a Great scence of Humor. very Good-looking man ,,,who had a heart of Gold a a talent to make any man in the music industry ,,,,,, stand still.

[@ihatechange]

Look at him walk in, proud as a peacock! 👑

[@cut1986]

I would have bought a ticket to watch this!!

[@dennishardy3869]

What an awesome video of the king. He had so many great ways, and things about him that even men today could only dream about. He would top the charts even today if he were still alive. All music today is 2nd to Elvis's music. Long live the King and his music. Just super cool looking at age 37 and yet his humble way shows at this pc.

[@yourfortunecookie9764]

+Dennis Hardy He surely had talent and charisma, but honestly that statement needs to have a qualifier. If he had halted his self destructive patterns and changed his life style EP would have went on to make great music. Not only is he an amazing entertainer he is an example of the destruction that can be caused by fame and fortune if you do not have a solid support system and strong character.

[@dennishardy3869]

+E Fan That's true to. Life is about choices.

[@dennishardy3869]

With all due respect though, none of us really know what was happening down deep inside this guy. He lost so much in his past yrs I think it's like Cilla said once. He just gave up after his divorce, that role in that movie w/ Streisand, etc. He lost everything. Still he should've thought more of his little girl. Oh well we could go on speculating forever. He took things to heart too much.

[@yourfortunecookie9764]

Exactly, my comment was not meant to be a put down. Sad that such a charasmatic person who enjoyed entertaining was gone much too soon.

[@littlejimmyscumbag2551]

Sorry but the role with Barbara Streisand was not a loss. Elvis is second to NOBODY, not even Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra or The Beatles. He's the King. In my opinion it would have been a giant loss for him to accept that role that sees him as a washed up musician catering to Barbara Streisand. His loss came from the divorce, addiction to drugs and public ridicule.

The conquering Hero Returns to New York on top of the World

[@sharonumpleby9422]

Oh he's coming back?? Didn't kno that!!

[@abcdefg15005]

Wow! What a great man!!

[@donnaking7439]

He had such a gorgeous face.

[@lourdestaveira7622]

Meu querido Elvis onde você estiver eu vou ficar com saudade de você...🎻🎤🎸🥀🎶⚘🎤♥️🎻🌷🎤🎸⚘🥀🎶

[@opencurtin]

This is the only real open 70s interview of Elvis ,Parker kept him away from the media.

[@nicestrat]

"I sweat more"....lol....long live the KING!

[@jfh4sure448]

Why can't entertainers be like EP and keep their personal views to themselves, check out his comment @ 5:03.

[@PattyP123]

I always thought he was such a smart cookie for saying that. Too many performers are on their soapbox nowadays.

[@samuelnevarez9790]

THIS IS WHY ELVIS MY FAVORITE SINGER.!!! MAN HE'S RIGHT ON TOP OF THAT QUESTION.HE KNEW TO NEVER MIX POLTICS WITH THE ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS.HE WAS SOOOO COOL.

[@samuelnevarez9790]

Hey you celebrities out there.Take Elvis's example of not mixing politics with entertainment.And you wonder why he stayed at the top.for a very long time.

[@donnaking7439]

Agree!!

[@User.adymitch]

Elvis. ...the greatest !!

[@opencurtin]

brilliant video thanks for putting it up, hard to believe Elvis the king a great person would be dead in 5 years.

[@rubyk445]

Beautiful man

[@saoirserubio536]

God what a charmer.

[@elygia]

So full of spirit, maybe that determination push him to make that famous visit to President Nixon ♥️

[@elv5268]

" King from another galaxy " 😍😍😍😍😍😍👄👄👄👄🔥🔥🔥🔥👄🔥❤️👑🕺

[@User.adymitch]

The king !!!

[@lucykitty33]

this is a pretty bad mix up of the interview-there arebetter versions on YT-what a delightful gorgeous charming superstar!! "uh what, Dear?" LOVE

[@kathrynenderby5997]

I’m a huge fan of elvis Presley’s I love 💕 elviss music and flims too elvis will always be the king 👑 of rock and roll 🎸 my dream is to visit Graceland and communicate with elvis 10:53am

[@claudiapicariello5813]

the most modest artists ever...💛 nowadays singers should learn from him. look how his expression changed when they asked him if priscilla was there...

[@fender1000100]

He was embarrassed thats what that was.

[@Cynthia00007]

The media just wanted to get a reaction from him. It was well-known that he was Single and Free from his marriage. This Interview was close to the time, if not at the time, of his beginning relationship with Linda Thompson. 9-12-22

[@rODIUMuk]

Some were so clear

[@joaoluizdasilvasilva4109]

este f d mais..inesquecivel

[@scott643]

When he said he was just an entertainer an he didn’t want to express his political views ? All I could think about was how that gained him more respect than some of today’s.

[@jasonuriel4340]

So sad hes gone. First elvis then Bonham and lennon

[@cbeth9209]

Heartburn Hotel...lol Elvis so So funny ...hehe

[@davidfranson5940]

Reporter did not need to ask Elvis about the war draft , should have asked Elvis would he return in the future for more concerts in new York ?

[@antoniagomes853]

🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️♥️✌♥️✌

[@opencurtin]

Why isn’t there a full video of this with sound ?

[@shycheyenne9460]

That woman reporter should have been thrown out on her backside. She spoke above everybody.Straight Up Rude And Aggrivating Elvis trying to get him to make a statement when he didn't want to answer. She Wouldn't Shut Up..

[@ehLeanne311]

I feel kinda sorry for Elvis, aside from the usual snippets of this interview you normally see, the full length interview shows a less confident, more regular person with his father, catapulted to stardom with a disconnect between some superstar everybody had superhuman, unrealistic expectations of and a person who as much as he was thankful couldn't comprehend, rationalize or feel completely comfortable with it

[@Chickadee54]

Boy I can feel my temperature risin, 😆

[@jancril7505]

Burnin' burnin', i don't know which way to goooohoo

[@gmeadows62]

Too bad it’s hard to hear the questions.

[@rODIUMuk]

Greg Meadows this is the loudest I’ve heard them

[@elmoelzisyaralis4203]

I heard he's coming back

[@rhoads788]

Iron. That is not a very nice thing to say about the King.

[@jeannaleemarie]

It was a very good question someone asked him if he would consider doing a biography and he said he would consider it but it's too early now that would have been like wow best seller he could have told about everybody all the people that turned on him if he would have just released all that frustration and had somebody like a Ghostwriter write down how he felt about the people who betrayed him it would have released all that negativity and he wouldn't have felt that he had a Medicaid himself to relax

[@Cynthia00007]

He thought that he had so much more time. Wished he had done a biography, time slipped away....😔🫂✌🏻❤️✝️♾️. 7-6-22

[@johndino536]

He needed a hair cut

[@mehrsam4938]

3:10 - 3:25

[@davidfranson5940]

His manager made a mistake to not film in new York ,

[@Cynthia00007]

Andreas made many mistakes, at the expense of ELVIS. 9-12-22

[@MrJuliesguy]

I bet Elvis smelled terrible

[@lucykitty33]

+Iron Feliks Hmm I have heard from reading 13 books he smelled DE LIC IOUS-I am sure way more delightful than you

[@MrJuliesguy]

Fat Elvis smelled horrible, you are probably used to the way that you smell so even people who smell terrible, smell great to you.

[@lucykitty33]

+Iron Feliks you are right and such a delight to converse with. You are a lame excuse for a human w any valid opinion .

[@MrJuliesguy]

And you m'lady are a fat, middle aged, cottage cheese mess

[@MrJuliesguy]

look at the keyboard commando go! Bet you wouldn't be so tough in person old man...
