Elvis Presley - Dont (The Lost Performance)

[@jlmroundlake]

Elvis had it all. The whole package....good looks, charisma, the voice, sexiness, stage presence. Nobody since has had the whole package like Elvis. He was truly one of a kind.

[@barbarateague8067]

That is so true! Plus he was so kind and loving ❤ with his family and friends.

[@kevintoomey7197]

He was a once in a lifetime phenomenon -a gift from on high - and I am grateful have been alive during the "King's reign"

[@marilynlillingston183]

As well as his smile I like his self smiling eyes.

[@rebeccarobbins6558]

Me too Kevin.😘

[@Eartha-Celeste]

He was such a great person in every way

[@farmgirlok]

Wow! Never tire of looking at his beautiful face and hearing his beautiful voice. love the post.

[@lonelymikey55]

Elvis was always down to earth, and never got a big head, he never put himself above anyone, one great performer,and a really God giving voice

[@moirahenry2975]

The most handsome man ever you just cant take your eyes of him. This is just rehearsal and he sounds amazing raw talent.

[@elivesinvisionisee]

Such an experience to be able to see him just 'being Elvis' at a rehersal..... So natural - Such a beautiful smile - not to mention that Awesome voice. Patti

[@cards1985]

This is golden to me. It's the the only time on film that The King sang Don't live.

[@jeanne-mariepernot6465]

Super !!!!!!!!!

[@dannywoody5497]

There’s a lot of men out there like me that say I just love Elvis. Always have always will all the way to the box

[@ferraristi67]

Elvis was and will always be the best singer and entertainer ever!

[@annelisestenberg3049]

I just love this Performance, his smile and humor. What a Great person He was Elvis R.I.P. We Still Miss You

[@merry1951]

It amazes me some people actually gave this a thumbs down. Don't they realize this was a rehearsal, not on stage. A glimpse into what went on behind the scenes. A treasure.

[@patrick99222able]

Mary S Doesn't matter that people gave this rehearsal the thumbs down, Elvis sold more than a billion and a quarter records, more than any other artiste and in some cases more than any 20 or 30 artistes or groups put together. 50 million fans can't be wrong...

[@CooManTunes]

+Patrick feenan 50 million? Really? That album came out in 1959. In 2015, the saying is 3 billion people can't be wrong.

[@patrick99222able]

CooMan Tunes Yes, the cover of that particular LP [ SHOWING HIM WEARING THE GOLD SUIT ] stated that " 50 MILLION FANS CAN'T BE WRONG. " He had 50 million fans in 1959...all over the world...probably meaning that he'd sold 50 million different records from 1955 to 1959...far more after this LP was released...then a billion and a half up to 1977, up to his untimely passing. Of course, 50 million fans could have bought 25 different records each bringing it up to a billion and a half, but 3 billion fans up to 2015, are you having a laugh?

[@CooManTunes]

Patrick feenan Out of the seven billion people on this planet, yes, I'm pretty confident that three billion of them are Elvis fans. More, most likely. In the words of the murderous and masterful Beatles producer Phil Spector, "He's a great singer. Gosh, Elvis is so great. You have no idea how great he is, really, you don't. You have absolutely no comprehension-it's absolutely impossible. I can't tell you why he's so great, but he is. He's sensational. He can do anything with his voice."

[@patrick99222able]

+CooManTunes Well CooMan if you put it like that I have to agree with you. Spector is just stating what most of us Elvis fans think, he could sing anything. I remember someone saying once that " if he sang three blind mice " it would be a hit and We'll never see his like again...I just listened to the King sing the song I BEG OF YOU, ten times in a row there, great!!! Cheers you're a true Elvis fan...

[@AngelRodriguez1]

Watching the king creating is awesome. I love this song, so it's pretty cool to watch him rehearsing and putting it together. Very cool.

[@EvilCensor]

One should not underestimate the patience and ability of the musicians involved.

[@normacurran2964]

Unreal....after all these years.....I am more touched by his spirit than ever. Since 1957. The man could sing.

[@francinelima5963]

That Face ! That marvelous face, so genuinely natural! I am so glad that this "performance" was not "lost" forever! It's interesting to watch how,even in rehearsal ,Elvis had the same soulful sound & the same persona, (although a little subdued ) that he had onstage & in front of his fans ! As always, he is funny, polite, humble & just amazing! " Elvis commented, at the end,-- "Terrible"- Ithink not! Au contraire-Absolutely marvelous , ABSOLUTELY ELVIS! Thanks for another great glimpse of our great & dearest friend!

[@bobbieluvselvis]

I love this song....one that was never performed on stage. Beautiful!!!

[@the_roamingreverend]

What a beautiful man. Because of this, you will never die. Love you Elvis Aaron Presley. I LOVE YOU!

[@shirleysanchez1892]

[@thebrideoffrankenstein2415]

Wow he was just so beautiful.....wish he could come back just one more time....

[@richardeidemiller6739]

That face along with the voice, stunning. Vicki

[@deboisblanc]

To be a fly on the wall in those rehearsals, what a talent

[@annelisestenberg3049]

What a diamond I found with this video. He has such a lovely smile....

[@rosechris48]

Absolutely beautiful, his eyes are something else and that smile.............Elvis wanted everything perfect and he said he owed it to his fans.

[@MikeGreenwood51]

Drugged!

[@jakartaman3365]

Michael Greenwood IMBECILE.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MikeGreenwood51]

To Jakartman, So you disagree do you? Or were you writing (shouting) he was an imbecile? You think there is no evidence of excessive drug use there at all?

[@kristenboston7833]

My Mom loved,loved ,loved, loved, loved,loved. Elvis. This was her favorite song. R.I.P. Mom luv you always

[@leonorajustice2733]

[@themajik2777]

The is a wonderful song and he sings it with so much passion and emotion. No one can do that like the king!

[@janavejnovic903]

It's amazing - when I listen to Elvis Presley, I feel good. I like the comments too, because they are so positive.

[@AdemPresley]

Excellent performance Elvis ************

[@dianemyers7452]

[@lonelymikey55]

arie kanarie, i still have all my records and all my cassettes i had when he passed away, will never get rid of any of them, the last album and cassette i purchashed while he was still alive was moody blue glad i bought two because of the color and the great songs he done, moody blue and way down was two great hits for Elvis i was only 22 at the time he died, sure do wish he had lived longer

[@paulmalloy3403]

Only Mr Presley & Scotty Moore who I met in Memphis in the late 90 s agrees this is Elvis best song!

[@Yesica1993]

Aw, he's so beautiful!!

[@Banderuola66-Szonja]

Why does he say "terrible" ? That was WONDERFUL !! Love this song and this video so much. Great Post, Frank. Thank you very much. Endless Stars for Elvis, the Best and You ****************++

[@Kiwivent]

Because it was terrible.. compare it to the album version. So many mistakes, out of tune, verses in wrong order... and he knows it.

[@boldchick101]

He was a perfectionist with an ear for purity when it came to music, he knew when it was not up to his standards.

[@tinker75686]

Straight to my favorites!!! Loved the video, the man and the voice. Best looking man i have ever seen!!! YUM

[@rosefarr5537]

I remember when that song came out in 1958. I bought the single and played it over and over. I thought he had the most amazing vocals on this song. But it was overlooked in the years following. In this video, I believe Elvis was trying to sing this after many years of not having sung it. I thought he did amazing. And he sung it right.

[@birgittacarlsson5645]

Of all of Elvis´ songs, Don´t stand out and it´s my No 1.

[@John-ob7dh]

My fav was i,m counting on you.

[@pamsteer3380]

[@myrathomashavner822]

Beautiful

[@joyceables]

There never has or never will be anyone come close to what he had as a singer a entertainer a man Isn't it odd all the good music 🎶 that was sang with soul and heart was in the 1950s and 1960s u will find some good ones now here and there but we have lost all the best ones

[@jordanmacdonald8138]

This was the song played at my wedding that we danced to

[@jeaniecollier3929]

Elvis is beautiful in this video, singing don't love that song

[@abacus299]

Those cheekbones! First time I have ever heard Elvis miss a note and it was still wonderful! The range and resonance to his voice is incredible. And did i mention those cheekbones? We need to invent some new word to describe his beauty.

[@BigMan-lc4dm]

He got an electric shock when his lip touch the microphone

[@johnchandler9881]

This is a beautiful song even in the rehearsal stage. I have noticed that some of his songs took as many as 18 takes during the recording session. Typical of Elvis, however, the finished product is a work of art and that work of art is a thing of beauty forever.

[@brandonwalsh6035]

mess up or not, its elvis having a good time' the master a work, love it.

[@Chickadee54]

Thank you for this.👍

The BOSS has spoken ...... :)

[@nobaddrawer]

The man showing his quality

[@pvnmorais]

he was really awesome. what a voice...such beautiful lyrics. tks for the upload. loved this song when i heard david gilmour sing it, but after listening this record my respect for the king has grown even more

[@robinbittel9420]

Just incredible. Really. Pure God-given gift to this world. My heart breaks for him. I just wish he didn’t go out the way he did. I guess God just took him home. Elvis had given this world all he could…

[@linp6789]

my all time favourite man he was just so beautiful#blue#eyes

[@chriscarlin1712]

Elvis is unique in every way ❤

[@jeffreyfaul6822]

my dad took me to see him in Buffalo June 25 1976 and Detroit April 22 , 1977 when I was 12 and 13 my first concerts jeff in Toronto

[@krystynagorazdowska3746]

Nie do wiary jak Elvis operował przecudnym, zróżnicowanym barwami głosem, to majstersztyk, takiego wykonania piosenki nie słyszałam , nikt nie ma takiego pięknego głosu, nie śpiewa z takim uczuciem,to potrafi tylko KING, ELVIS❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mavislewis4945]

I never heard this song , thee can never be another Elivls.

[@MsMcmoe]

My my what a voice~

[@rosechris48]

Fabulous, this is just Elvis messing around but he didn`t need sound studios and echo chambers, he was a one off, could do it without all that, listen to that beautiful smooth voice, velvet at its best, love and miss you Elvis, you are, were and always will be the greatest singer/ entertainer of all time. Be will you in August , will come to sit with you in the garden you loved so much. xx

[@rebeccarobbins6558]

This is one of my favorite songs of his. I happen to have it on his CD of all his number one hits. I can't get enough of listening to this song.😘😍

Elvis always was smiling, because he was happy, eventhough the sadness inside of him

[@elvicare35]

Awesome!!!!! I bought this VHS when it first came out!!

[@titouv991]

he still a legend forever !

[@philpotts3893]

You can see into his mind a couple of times.. his eyes went different just for a split second...it looked vast to me, well lit..

[@joanyh]

one of my fav songs of his and to see him sing live what a man he waas

[@39thala]

Elvis was going to have to show them how to play the chords to that song. All those little moments of him flinching towards the end were where they were missing those minor chord changes and drop downs. The guy had an excellent ear an sense of rhythm

[@RaxOldies]

looked to me like he got a little jolt when his lips touched the mic..,made him jump back. But recovered right away to finish the song. And for all those who said he couldn't really play guitar....he was calling out the F chord at the end there !! The King.

[@josephnelson2591]

The decision to drop the key from D to C may have thrown the musicians off: they were used to hearing Elvis in a higher key and kept mentally playing the "right" chords. The thing is, these were Nashville pros, used to working with the Nashville Number System, so the change of key shouldn't have been a problem.

[@MyDreamside]

i love this song and video!
