[@albertv.riessen96]

No discussion and without a doubt, Elvis Presley is the GOAT in terms of singing and performing ! And not to forget Scotty Moore, DJ Fontana, Bill Black and the whole band from 1969 to 1977 such as James Burton, Ronnie Tutt, Jerry Scheff and his backing choir The Sweet Inspirations were also Top Notch !

[@GetaldineWhite]

I absolutely agree that Elvis had the best band and the best back up singers of anybody

[@DavidBowieFan1990]

Love that version of „You‘ve lost that loving feelin“!

For a young guy you sure have a passion for Elvis! I saw Elvis in concert 2 months before he died which makes me an old guy!

[@danellehackett6542]

Those of us who were blessed to see him live in the 70s aren't old imo, we're just seasoned. We were supposed to see him in Pittsburgh in Sept. Mom could have gotten her money back on the tickets, but she wouldn't. She had them hidden away.

[@GetaldineWhite]

i saw Elvis three times the year he died and he was magnificent

[@debrareilly5969]

I'm old, too. 🙂 I saw him in May of 1977. We are blessed to be "old," otherwise we wouldn't be able to say that we saw Elvis LIVE! 🎶

[@ElvisistheMan_]

Yeah man! What was your opinion of the show u saw?

[@danellehackett6542]

@ElvisistheMan_ it was incredible. He was so energetic from the time when he walked on to the stage all the way to when he walked off. It was a bit disappointing he didn't come back and sing another song. But when they announced,'Elvis has left the building', it was like everyone in the arena let out a sigh. His voice was so good. He commanded the stage so much that I couldn't take my eyes off of him. I'm so very thankful that I was able to see him live.

[@francisrobbins1499]

His voice still had that growl to it, which seemed to change in 72 when it became more operatic

[@ElvisistheMan_]

Yeah I agree for the most part.

[@rodscrivner7132]

I am glad I'm not the only person to notice his vocal change in '72. Depending on his mood, his speaking voice became that way as well..Almost as if he was angry. When he knew there was a camera, or he was being recorded, it wasn't as obvious..His MSG in '72 was awesome, his Via Satelite in '73 not so much...Poor Elvis...:-(

Hi I saw Elvis everytime he was in Las Vegas he always had an awesome show. My parents loved To go to Las Vegas to gamble so they would send my Sister and I to Elvis Dinner Shows in the 70s. I seen almost every show it was only $15.00 a person for the dinner and show . I seen almost all the other entertainer's in Vegas but nobody was as great as Elvis his show was the best.

[@russellwright1422]

Beautiful recording! Elvis’s energy was really up that night. Similarly to the live recording of the “Red Hot in Richmond” show. Man, I love the sensation I’ve always gotten throughout my life anytime I’ve heard or seen any footage or recordings of Elvis for the first time I’ve ever heard that particular recording. It always feels like I have metaphorically traveled back in through a time capsule where I got to go back in time throughout the 60s or 70s and actually witness the phenomenal experience, the emotions and the overall feeling that was Elvis live in spirit! I also have to say I love your content. Anytime you do anything like this because it makes me realize you’re almost as big of an Elvis fan as I am, you’ve just got a big megaphone is all. Hahaha! I have gone through one girlfriend after another, who probably breaks up with me because I have made them all sit through one Elvis recording, one Elvis movie, not to mention every documentary about Elvis on a lifelong binge until it drives them nuts or they realize I’m nuts. Lol not sure

[@jackbeam5751]

1971 is a great year not the best known unfortunatly. Great versions great energy. I love what MRS label did to improve the sound of the 71 tapes better than FTD

[@GoldenLifeofEllieMae]

I have this FTD, & it’s still sealed!! 🤦🏼‍♀️I have no clue why it’s so hard for me to open my FTDs. Maybe because I get all my music on Spotify/KZbin & play it on my Bluetooth speakers? Idk, but I need to start listening to them like I used to…the way you do! Btw…I think seeing how much Elvis & his music makes you happy is why we are fans of your channel! If there’s an Elvis fan who is having a bad day, just put on some Elvis music. Am I right?! My mood is always immediately lifted. Esp if I start watching old performances! Thank you for playing a bit of this! Might be the motivation I need to open mine!

[@elvis78ale]

Unfortunately the internet has "ruined" the pleasure to put an album in CD or Vinyl and listen to it in the old way. Personally I don't have Vinyls but many and many CDs. I wanted to get back into the habit of listening to them so I got a portable CD player as a gift since I no longer had one, and from that day on I started listening to CDs again. Spotify is certainly convenient... but personally I prefer to give greater value to the money spent on CDs and CD box sets that risked remaining on the shelves just collecting dust.

Great stuff. A month after getting his badge from President Nixon. E sounds great and so do the Sweets. That microphone you astutely reference is a condenser mic. It was primarily used for speaking, not singing. It produces a flatter sound with less reverb.

[@vicki6070]

EP was looking fine in his Cisco Kid jumpsuit!! Also, I like how you take the time to post dates, comments in the video. This helps to add "context" to what was going on around the same time. I'm considering joining your patreon channel. I like how you point out the highlights of each song and the various inflections/changes in his voice. He had so much energy at 36. Only 6 years later, he was gone. What a rapid decline that was. All the best!

[@KevinHoganChannel]

Bonus new background vocals by S.I's. Good video. I'll pick it up.

I could kind of tell Elvis wasn't gunna hit them notes in You've Lost that loving feeling. Seemed like there is something up with his voice her. Sounds like he has a frog in a throat. Might be an idea to look at what he was doing building upto some of these shows and see if he had been working alot or had been ill. Am not putting him down BTW I love Elvis!

[@toastertwo1602]

Something changed in Elvis in 2 months. He became a little puffy by late December. And he didn't seem as interested in his job as he was 2 months before. But still he was very good.

Okay, yes I have a comment/question! I often will stop and take the time to look for old Elvis records! I love it when I find them. I’ve even bought a few on line! I love putting them on the record player and going back in time in my mind, because we were so animated ourself when a group of us would just sit around on the floor jamming to records!!! Question: Do you like finding and picking up old albums, do you think they are better/same listening experience than the new remake albums? This I am very curious about your opinion!! Thank you! ⚡️TCB⚡️. ❤❤❤❤

I do like hearing to that classic sound. But, I just never got into the record collecting.

[@MaaikevanBroekhovenIBCLC]

Great. Actually have that CDset but never played it again!!!

[@RobertBrady-v6s]

Lots of shows in the previous years.. voice maturing and singing approach was starting to change.. consider his singing just two years earlier for the COMEBACK 69 show to this just two years later and this.. totally different. He still had the 50s sound a bit in 69. Anyone here one of his later shows when he starts off a song I can’t remember singing in his high twang voice from the fifties and he jokes that’s the way he use to sing.. ?? still had it lol. Possible project to look into my friend?? Dig the video

[@MMAfighter38113]

1971 was sort of an obscure year for Elvis compared to 1970 & 1972. He had only one tour, 3 album LPs released, & hardly any singles released that year that went either gold or platinum compared to 1969, 1970 & 1972. My favorite version of ‘Polk Salad Annie’ is the version he began performing In 1974. It had more horns and more drums. You can hear it clearly in this soundboard recording from December 1975: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmWxhoakfLdmbtUsi=IJK6nIQkBuGKEj4x

[@rodscrivner7132]

If there had been a "Hollywood Camera" there his performance would have been more taxing, because he would have been prepared for it. This is his third year in Vegas and the last where he seemed to still care, at least somewhat. We can compare one performance, or year to another through all these FTD's, They are proof of his steady decline.
