Elvis Presley - 1976.12.31 - New Years Eve - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Legendary New Years Eve concert in Pittsburgh, PA (taken from A New Year For Elvis DVD)

[@AW-bv3sv]

2021. Elvis career of more than 20 years. He had one concert when he was sick and bloated and few stupid and jealous people always talk about his last concert. How about the fabulous and wonderful ones. God bless you Elvis. We love you forever ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@margarettaylor8107]

Elvis had bone cancer i his legs and 4 other major medical conditions. He had the same liver disease his mother had. His colon was enlarged, twisted, and spastic.He did not want to wear a bag so he did not have colon surgery.Since several of his conditions were not curable, he knew he would die young.He suffered much and even while on stage. He never wanted fans to know.His suffering is over.He is with Jesus now.

[@robbiejenkins4379]

His true fans love him always, these others are just jealous, Elvis one and only. Your simply the best

[@kellythomas1933]

He never gave less than 110%of himself on stage, anyone who complains is not a true fan

[@mariangrimsdell1112]

So true , 👍 he looked fine here just six months before he passed away 😢

[@rosebraxton]

Yes it was that last concert that he was very bloated and you could tell he was very sick and not feeling well. But he gave it all he could. People always want to focus on that instead of remembering all those years he gave us. This man was a musical angel. And a great piece of eye candy too

[@jamesdean3474]

I believe longtime Elvis fans, who have been there through the ups and downs, love him no matter how good or not his performances are. I’ll defend and love him until my last dying breath. People shouldn’t judge him unless they’ve walked a mile in his shoes. Rest In Peace Elvis.

@Margaret White--it’s said by ones close to Elvis that they WRAPPED him in Saran Wrap to hold his stomach in. Did you notice his stomach enlarged? Age was also a factor, plus the food 🥘 he ate plus drugs. Elvis was 41yo. when you saw him perform.

[@carolforsloff5613]

I was there that night. Went with a former student that has cerebral palsy. We were both mesmerized by this wonderful performance. I lived in Pittsburgh for eight years and left in 1977 June to move to Hawaii. This was my brightest memory of the city, a magical time. The crowd stood and screamed when he entered the arena. I was screaming, remembering my teenage years as a fan, and at the age of 35 here I was again with others the same age as the years rolled back. Thanks to a writer's reminiscences in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette on The Next Page dated December 25, 2016, I watch the concert again at the age of 75. My husband is 81, the age Elvis would be had he lived---and another Elvis fan enjoying this video. Thanks to the individual who recorded this for those of us who remember, and those who wish they might have been there. I live now in Hawaii, where Elvis gave one of his most famous performances, even as I was there for this one. God bless everyone this New Year's Eve 2016 with the memories of Elvis.

[@lilliangilbert4986]

The best thing that happened to me was when I bumped into him after a show in Vegas at the International Hotel after I walked to throw 2 bottles of champagne that we drank celebrate my friends wedding. I was 16 and they wouldn't allow me in the Casino. So, as I was walking back to the Van, a door opened an out came ELVIS with a towel around his neck. We both said excuse me, and I saw his beautiful sky blue eyes. I just stood there watched him get into a blue Mercedes Benz stretched limo, with a bunch of guys. Which now I know where the Memphis mafia. I've lived him ever since. I did get to see him in Anaheim stadium in 76, cuz we tried to get tickets after I saw him, and he was sold out till 1974. I will ALWAYS CARRY ELVIS IN MY MIND AND HEART ❤ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 ❤ 💙

[@curtismoff]

I saw him on his second to last tour. He was in pretty good shape. It was my first concert I was 12 and my Aunt took me. No other concert I ever saw came close to Elvis he could really work a room like nobody. Never be anyone who comes close to Elvis. Wish I could have seen him in 1970 Las Vegas

Considering this is only 6months before the CBS Special, Elvis looks so much better here. Its hard to believe how much his health deteriorated in those 6 months. He really looks like he's enjoying himself up there. They'll never be another like him. 👑

[@hosemanuel374]

Yes, in this consert he seems pretty healthy and seems to be in average shape for 41 year old man. Still top in his game at that point. But maan 6 months after this he was not even the same person anymore, not the same funny and very full of energy personality and he didnt even look like Elvis anymore

He weighed about 225 and healthy here. Sadly, his weight steadily increased to 350 by end of '77.

[@darylheasman1]

​@@conditionallyunconditional5691I know there's reports of Elvis was about 350 at the end,but I don't buy that at all. He looked about ,at a reasonable guess around 260-280 absolute max. It's said his colon weighed around 35lbs and twice its normal size,which in its self is unreal. He must of been in so much pain.

[@FLIPPER1439]

Elvis was 41yo and the toll of abuse of “mega drugs” plus performing beyond ones physical being-caused his demise. He kept trying to ~~FIND the LORD GOD~~who he knew could only give him👉peace of mind, but the song 🎵 he sang sums it all up~~”””I’m in a trap-I can’t get out””” explains his state of mind. Had Elvis taken 1 year off..to get help-he probably would have changed future performances. Traveling with Christian quartets as he told people close to him. Remember how he told Nancy Sinatra-“”I should have stayed in church ⛪️ “” he meant singing gospel songs without a doubt. I understand that his Golden records etc etc ~~were due to his Gospel Songs/Records~~Now that tells us the real desires of Elvis. He told us all! I’m sure he would have filled arenas in -every USA 🇺🇸State. Many Gospel Artists were filling arenas in late 1970’s…into 1980’s. I was at several and they were awesome…spiritually fulfilling that is. Elvis would have had to make changes on how he performed….taming down all the Gyrations, but that would have been easy as he was 40+yo. Elvis would have drawn 1,000’s, but focus would have been on the LORD ✝️ JESUS…and no longer ELVIS PRESLEY. 👉ONCE a person has had a true salvation-centered on the Lord Jesus~~that person is strengthened spiritually giving GLORY ONLY TO GOD. 🙌 Elvis would have found this easy to do once freed from the demons of drugs-we would have known the REAL MAN-ELVIS🌟

Eng TV Stn pre emptied all prog and showed all fabulous concerts 68 all to his last concert and kept airing Elvis concerts till 1982. No VCR to record down became Elvis fan instantly. Wrote letter to HK TVB station in 1983 with help from uncle with many fake signatures they replied regret to say no rights to re run concerts but instead showed his sorry to say silly movies. I always listen daily see his videos in my collection as no other singers makes the same effects as former living GOD of music in this world. Elvis is my 2nd GOD. GOD got jealous took him away for himself early.

Yes. But the same goes for other world greats and wonderful phenomena. There are heroes in every era. Elvis is one of the most important great soloists. Although I can no longer go to Elvis' concerts, fortunately there are still footage of his amazing performances. If you watch his footage and imagine him right in front of you, you'll get excited. Although Elvis has passed away, new works and values ​​continue to be created. Like the Elvis movie from last year. A new generation will find new value in Elvis' great legacy.

I agree with u! I think in Jan 77 he had wrote he’s just tired of it all. I’d be too, it’s too much for so many years! Imagine the possibilities he would of had if he has rested longer, other opportunities would of been available to him. It just really makes you sad. He didn’t have to slim down too too much …but looks like the meds were swelling him up in his face and tummy, and maybe the pills were affecting his appetite ….but more than anything he needed to rest his eyes and his body, just rest. His eyes were so bad…u can see how he alwys grabs his head and eyes …the pain he’s going thru yet he’s working so hard through it…all for his fans. It’s heartbreaking . Migraines glaucoma etc geez.

Elvis never lost it. He always had it until the end. I think the spiral down began when he was getting the first drafts from the book "Elvis What Happened". I don't think he thought he could recover from that. The drug use and the sense of giving up was put on the fast train when his so-called friends wrote that book. He thought it was over. He just didn't realize how much we loved him and would stand by him no matter what anyone said.

Regarded as the best Elvis concert of ‘76 and probably of the last 3 years. He’s in terrific spirits, form and attitude. It’s amazing how in tuned his band is as well. When, during “Fairytale”, he tells the band to “slow it down, slow it down” and without missing a beat they slow the the rhythm down and keep right on going. That’s a band that’s in tune with their lead singer!

Little did this home movie expert realize what he was capturing at this time... far more than just another Elvis concert, and far more than just a great new years party.

[@Suplasvegas]

Not enough concerts filmed of this superb entertainer

[@jjs777fzr]

Suplasvegas This concert would be that much better if it had been professionally filmed and recorded.

[@53Humes]

Surprised to see how well Elvis looked here. Shame because Elvis had at least another 20 good years or so to perform. Moved to Memphis in 1976 and found out that Elvis was the greatest guy we always thought he was!

Hermoso ELVIS único adorable su musica me acompaña en mis tareas domesticas Gracias por compartir ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ canciones hermosas de ELVIS PRESLEY por siempre❤❤❤2023 15 12

[@JimDangerZone]

Greatest concert i've ever heard - used to have it on double-album vinyl, when he was still alive! Haven't had it or heard it again since the late '70s, but never forgot that incredible concert. NOW, to SEE it - Stupendous! I also saw him Live, in Augusta, Maine, less than 6 months after this - on May 24, 1977 - was definitely The Thrill Of My Lifetime - i still have the stub.

3/22/2023 This was the best Elvis Concert ever! I’ve listened to his music since his first records! I’m 82 & still love his music!

[@brendabooher6683]

Elvis lived with alot of pain but always gave us fans his all.. Elvis was the one and only, greatest entertainer of the twentieth century. I am still listening in 2023. We love you and miss you forever Elvis ❤

[@krisasheets]

For a bootleg made in 76 it is good quality and it is hard to believe he passed away a few months after this he looked great

[@TheEternities1000]

[@jtobinams1]

Elvis was so cool!

[@steelbat54]

I was lucky enough to have been there that evening. I remember my mom telling me when I was on the fence about getting tickets to see Elvis, "You better go. You may never get the chance again" As it turns out, she was right. He passed that next August.. RIP Elvis..

[@elvismann67]

Thank You for sharing Gene Meo!! I am happy for you that you had the amazing opportunity to see the King live - what a fabulous memory from this Pittsburgh New Years' Eve Concert it must have been....you should share more about this event, if you'll like? ;-) At this time, in late '76 I had been listening to Elvis for almost 2 years. I remember when I heard him the first time, in 1975, at a birthday party for my classmate Madeleine. I went up to the record player and looked at the album, a double record with Elvis.....I remember thinking; (only 8 years old at the time) 'Man, this is good, I gotta get some albums of him for sure!!' - And, so I did.....plenty of them!! ;-) I still love listening to Elvis at any given moment and for any reason whatsoever! :-)

[@rong805]

Gene Meo OK I'm jealous of anyone who saw him live!

[@steelbat54]

Wow! Just seeing these replies now, 4 and 6 years later. I do feel very lucky to have seen Elvis in concert. It’s very special to me. I’ve recently been going through a resurgence of interest in him and his music. Not sure why but I’ve felt a need to hear him daily. What a gift from God he was. A beautiful man. It’s hard to believe that in a few years it will be fifty years since his passing. He’ll never be forgotten.. long live the King. TCB..

amazing how great he looks here and only 8 months later he was gone that must have been a hard lived 8 months elvis rocks ...

[@carolynvance8901]

he didn't die from suicide as a lot of people claim he did.He died from a broken heart. and if he did died he didn't die alone he had Jesus with him. I personally don't think he did die but that's just my opinion

[@elvisleeboy]

+Carolyn Vance What makes you think he had Jesus with him at any time in his life? I didn't know Jesus snooped around in other people's bathrooms.

[@krazygurl579]

+Carolyn Vance Well, if a man saves up 3 attacks and then takes them all at once, guess you don't call that suicide? don't get me wrong, I love Elvis too, but we need to keep a reality check here.

[@carolynvance8901]

+elvisleeboy you have your opinion and I have mine that's what makes the world go round

[@HLHenderson1970]

+Carolyn Vance Elvis died of a vagal response brought on by trying to bare down for a bowel movement. His colon was in bad shape from all the pain killers which slow the digestion to a crawl. When a person bares down trying to have a bowel movement they slow the heart rate down dramatically. When this happens you can pass out, which is what happened. he suffocated with his face in the carpet before he came to again.

Happy to say I was there that night at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh. He kept the crowd of 20, 000 waiting for over 2 hours after the opening acts. I never saw a better concert in all my life. Many members of his band would later recall it was the last great concert he ever gave.

[@dillieperry3029]

Some people never remember the good stuff, they like to put other people down, the make themselves feel better, a great performer will see that the show will go on no matter what, and that just shows you what kind of man he was, he never wanted to disappoint his fans. What a beautiful and wonderful man he was and still is in my book.

[@vilmamoro1809]

Fantastic feels like I'm just there in the crowd. Beautiful, sensational !!!! 2021

[@roberthartman5150]

Elvis has been my idol ever since I could remember. My mom went to one of his concerts back in the early 70s and got to meet him. She said he was the nicest person she ever met besides my dad.

[@tommyboo21]

You are precisely right. The 'friends' book came out in paperback on 1st August 1977 and was available everywhere. Elvis had already seen the drafts months earlier and knew the contents of the book, and was so despondent over it. Elvis died on the eve of the start of a new tour. That tour would have brought him into contact with his audiences for the first time since the book's release. As you say, if only he'd known how much his fans loved him no matter what. And will continue to.

[@QueenCreole77]

Yes, I was 17 and was going to see him in Portland Maine, his first stop of the new tour. I didn’t care what they wrote or his weight.if only he’d known millions of people still loved him.

[@jannekedevries2360]

Elvis was very disappointed about the lack of loyalty of Red, Sonny and Dave after everything he had done for them: donated houses and cars, paid their livelihood, their medical bills, holidays, travelling, hotels, food and the schools of their children. Red West already parasited on Elvis when he was in Germany and did so until 1976. At the time of their discharge in 1976 they hadn't been working for Elvis during a year. Probably because Elvis was sued because Sonny, Red and Dave assaulted Elvis' fans. Vernon said they were fired to economize which might have been an additional reason. Publishing a tell-all book about Elvis brought them money but was very treacherous. Thanks to sugardaddy Elvis they lived a very luxurious exciting and carefree life during 10-20 years with access to many beautiful women and paid filmparts organised by Elvis Presley, who worked very hard while his parasitic entourage just hung around doing nothing. Red, Sonny and Dave apparently thought that sugardaddy Elvis was somehow obliged to provide for them and entertain them. They thought they had the right to parasite on Elvis because he had allowed them to do so before. Like spoiled grown children who expect their parents to keep caring for them. They felt entitled to Elvis' lifelong financial support and when Elvis didn't deliver anymore they took revenge by demeaning him publicly to damage him personally and ruin his career!

[@alanmiell3224]

There will never be a performer like elvis in all the time the world as left, the voice range of a opera singer, wow do not forget this man did two shows a night seven days a week at vegas, how many people with the energy this man had even late into the final year of is performances , and on some occasions on weekends he would even do the odd third show , as he did not want is fans to have wasted there money coming to see him, and on arrival only being told they were sold out, elvis would put on a third show to let these people of travelled all this way fore nothing, how many performers today would do that, none. The voice of Angel and the greatest live performer that ever lived. I truly believe god as him now singing to is Angels and departed loved ones, god bless you, if there was ever a true legend this man was it, thank you fore the vast music archive you left the world with, and the joy and love you brought to millions worldwide

[@randomstuff7533]

I wasn't born to see Elvis live, I am sad that we have to put up with crappy Artists today. Elvis, PLEASE COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a HUGE Elvis Fan, been a fan since I was 3 yrs old. I am now 23 yrs old. Never saw him in person, live, ect.. only on Tapes/DVD's & on KZbin now... Sad to see a great performer leave so early in life. He seemed like a good person over all. He is the type who actually liked his fans, when these artists today are mostly in it for (FAME & FORTUNE).. But Elvs liked his fans, he actually went & talked to them.

[@laurawestover4478]

You are so right! Elvis loved his fans and he lived for them! We will never see another human being like him again in many lifetimes or ever! He gave his fans cars, who does that? Elvis does, he is a gem...

[@randomstuff7533]

I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love him.

[@bettybridges1635]

your so right there in it for the money, i don't buy any thing else just Elvis i listen to him every day and night.. i wake up to his music and fall asleep to his music.. I feel like a lot of people do Elvis did not die then maybe now but not then it was in his music between the lines.. Forever Elvis will live on he was a prince and then The king of Rock & roll I don't think there will ever be any one to top him if there is They will be sent by God Almighty. I wish he would have had a son perhaps he would have been like him.. Long Live the King Elvis.. Elvis Aaron Presley January 8, 1935 August 16 1977 You are remembered & still loved Long Live the "KING" Of Rock & Roll.. Happy Birthday Sweet Elvis.

[@keithglimmer4505]

In 1969 Elvis would go down to the gate at his LA home & talk to his fans as a way to start getting ready to go back on stage that July. He made quite a few life long friends that way. He would invite them into his home & show them his new stage costumes & stay up all night talking. Once he noticed an older couple had stopped showing up at the gate every day & he asked about them but nobody knew what had become of them. Elvis , on his own , found out their last names & also found where they lived (in a house trailer/mobile home thing). He went to their place & knocked on the door & hung out with the lady ,whose husband had been hospitalized (that's why they weren't at the gate any more). Elvis paid the bills for them until they got on their feet again. I can't imagine any other celebrity doing that.

[@laurawestover4478]

Keith Glimmer Thank you so much for sharing that story...I can not imagine any other celebrity going to the lengths that Elvis went to help people in need...we know of some of the stories but I am sure there are so much more that he did that we don't know about...he truly was the most giving beautiful man

[@maaruukaa46]

¡¡¡¡ Fantástico.Maravilloso.Impresionante!!!.¿ Que se puede decir de Elvis que no se haya dicho ya? Ël es el mejor, se entregaba a su público como nadie. Un monstruo del escenario, un hombre maravilloso además de guapísimo. Me gustan todos sus conciertos, además creo que cada vez cantaba mejor, su voz era mas fuerte más potente. De lo mejor que nos ha dado América: Elvis siempre en nuestros corazones¡¡¡¡¡ VIVA EL REY!!!!¡¡¡THE KING ELVIS PRESLEY!!!!
