Elvis Presley - Polk Salad Annie - Live 1970 - Reaction (Elvis Get's Down!!!)

[@aletmartins6940]

Who else did rock, country, patriotic and gospel songs all during the same concert…

[@toodlescae]

The drummer, Ronnie Tutt, did say one time that drumming for Elvis was like drumming for a stripper. 😂 I was lucky enough to see Elvis live twice in 1972. The second concert was a present for my 11th birthday. The first one was my first concert ever. I grew up in love with Elvis before I could talk because my mom was a fan. We moved that summer so I got to see him in 2 different states. I cried through the whole first concert in Kansas at 10 because I was so emotional. The second one in Arizona I just kept my eyes glued on Elvis. I was afraid to blink in case I missed anything.

Elvis is in the Guinness Book of World Records for selling more records worldwide (1.5 billion!) than any other artist (band or solo) ever!

[@scsu5085]

I believe Elvis sales is ~1.5billion now. There is a long-standing contention t with the certification process & how Billboard parameters failed to factor-in everything when computing chart position, sales, etc. He is the #1 artist (group or solo) of the Rock Era which began in 1955 in terms of sales, gold/platinum/multi plat, weeks on the charts, most activity on the charts, simultaneous #1 hits on all 3 charts at once (Pop, Country, and R&B), etc. But the Beatles had 20 #1 USA hits., while Elvis had 18, but globally is another matter. Elvis also had more Top 10 hits, Top 40 hits, Top 100hits, double-sided hits, etc than any other act. Other artists, Madonna, LittleWayne, Beatles, Queen, Mjackson often claim to have 'exceeded' elvis, but that's because more they are only using the HOT 100 chart (which began late 1958). They totally don't add-in the Top 100 chart (which began 1955). By doing this, they cut Elvis out of all his early biggest hits, and they are not competing with his full body of work.

[@Mary-bk2wj]

@@scsu5085 Great news! I’ll save your info for future reference. TY 👍😁

[@stromme49]

I have even read 2 billion worldwide - if one counts everything that is sold world wide and also trying to give best estimate of everything sold through sources where the sales is not registered. (Gas stations and so on).

Elvis was unique. No one ever moved like Elvis. There will never ever be another. His moves were spontaneous. Every performance was different, no choreographed moves. Check out Suspicious minds, Patch it up, any of the 1968 comeback special is great. You can start with young Elvis on black and white TV performances. Aloha from Hawaii, many documentaries and concerts in Los Vegas. Elvis fans are very loyal.

[@MigdaliaTomalinas-os2nz]

That sir, was pure Elvis. No one before or after can do this. The best performance ever. I watch it frequently sometimes several times with different reactors. I am so amazed at his agility, flexibility, energy. He looks so calm and focused on the music. You are definitely right, he lead the orchestra with his body. He really felt the beat and responded. Love Elvis and your face watching this was precious.

[@amydarcimarie]

It still trips me out when I see people just discovering Elvis. I mean I know not everyone was exposed or later interested in his type of music. Everyone knows the name ELVIS. But, I think so many associate him with his impersonators and he becomes kind of a caricature. Actual Elvis is so much more…. He was just a phenomenal, one of a kind. Anyway, welcome to the wonder that is Elvis, sir, lol. Great reaction!

[@aletmartins6940]

He’s in 5 Halls of Fame. Versatility is the word!

[@betsyjonex9364]

Man you need to see the 68' comeback special "If I Can Dream". And "Trying to Get to Yoy". This was inVegas1970. You'll be amazed. Thanks for you reaction.

[@louisesmith4251]

Legendary Performer ! Elvis directed the band , they stayed focused on his movements because they didn't always know what he would do.

[@TheFlugenflaum]

:) elvis didn't know too :P

[@michaellawliss3049]

Welcome to the Elvis rabbit hole 🕳!!! AWESOME AWESOME REACTION MY MAN! It only gets better from here! New fan! 🤜🔥🤛 1969 Las Vegas live "suspicious minds"

[@aletmartins6940]

[@wallflowerj6013]

“If I can dream”. In the white suit. Please please please please!! Ty for your reaction. I subbed

[@carriemichelle322]

You hit it spot on!! He controlled his band with his body movements! 1970 Live in Vegas Suspicious Minds is another treat! I subbed!! More Elvis!!

[@TAnucci]

No one like Elvis .. then, now or forever!💕💕💕💕 Great reaction! Thank you!

[@robinmahan8814]

I grew up on Elvis. He will always be the King to me.❤️

[@mssuziquzi]

Elvis at his best. What a show man❤️

[@inescece4707]

It doesn't matter how many I watch this video it's like new every time ! The king 👑 rip !❤

[@christopherone1]

There he is, the best selling most loved, beloved solo male artist IN HISTORY, and he died, sadly, in 1977

[@sherrera66]

This is Elvis in Vegas 1970 in the documentary That’s The Way It Is u Can Watch it on HBO Max I think still. Elvis is full of surprises once u start this rabbit hole it’s a big one over 700 recordings with the 31 movies. Have fun with Elvis it’s a ride! TCB⚡️dude

[@michaelhill9254]

If you really want to see the serious side of Elvis, check out , Bridge over troubled waters, awesome mate 🎶👏

[@dagmar.6954]

This really showcases what a showman & entertainer Elvis was. And he had a good sense of humor. He really liked wearing these white jumpsuits & it became his staple outfit in a lot of his concerts. "Polk Salad Annie” is a 1968 song written & performed originally by Tony Joe White.

[@kimking6036]

From this concert he does Suspicious minds. He has a blast with it.He likes to challenge his drummer a lot. They all just really connect and have fun☮️

[@bebic7903]

Great reaction! I would recommend another Vegas performance, "Suspicious Minds"' or '68 Comeback Special performance of "Trying to Get to You". Both showcase his incredible talent along with his wonderful sense of humor. Elvis was an amazing entertainer.

[@RobertNorthrop]

I don't know what genre this song falls under. I think it could actually be considered "rockabilly". Anyway, Elvis owns it. Man, what charisma. I was 10 years old when he passed. It was like a superhero legend from a comic book died. He picked up his moves from a variety of influences. By this time, his practice of karate heavily influenced his moves but he also has elements of black blues juke joints and pentacostal revival Holy-Spirit-movin-me moves.

[@davidpisachubbe7869]

You should react to Suspicious Minds from his 1970 Las Vegas performance. That also showcases what an awesome performer he was. Elvis has a lot of awesome songs that you can find. Sometimes, it's just his awesome vocal ability that demonstrates why he is the king. He really doesn't have to be dancing and moving all over the place in order to demonstrate his greatness. For an example of that you should check out If I Can Dream from the 1968 comeback special.

[@Wildlife_SA.]

Very nice reaction. Elvis is awesome, so entertaining and a powerful voice. Please react to Elvis singing the legendary "Bridge over Troubled Water" live in Las Vegas 1970. Phenomenal indeed... 👍🎸🎶

[@jaimeschumann68]

OMG.. LOVE HIM.. HIS GOSPEL LIVE.. OR EVEN HIS STEAM ROLLER LIVE.. ED SULLIVAN HOUND DOG.. LIVE..

[@aletmartins6940]

Elvis is always great live… can’t look away as there is always something interesting going on, in addition to awesome vocals.

[@hollywinningham6375]

Can't get any better than Elvis 😊🔥🎼❤🎤

[@colmflaherty3963]

Yes, Elvis just moved accordingly to how we felt at the time. Thanks for your reaction. If I can dream is very popular with reviewers. The white suit one.

[@SusanHobbs-c5r]

I melt into a quivering puddle every time I see him!

[@sallycook]

Elvis is “duelling” with his drummer, each trying to outdo the other!

[@lechat8533]

Great reaction! It`s nice to see someone watch Elvis in his jump suit for the first time ever :) Yeah, Elvis was/is/will be The Man!!

[@sallycook]

REACTION REQUEST: I think you might enjoy Steamroller Baby from Elvis’ 1973 Aloha From Hawaii concert (please go for the 14th January version if you can). I think you will see a different side to Elvis but still rockin’ it! I’ve subbed because I would like to see where your Elvis journey takes you. Shout out to your wife for putting you on this path!

[@marilyntague2767]

The best is his opening night in Vegas, first night in the International!!! Check the new Elvis movie, I've seen it 9 times, the moves were just like the real deal, I'm 70, can't get enough of this man! Your wife was so right, smart lady!! Wish I could get your feed back after? Enjoy!!!

[@tapsa412]

Great!!! He did all the genres and more. And what he sold and still counting are on the walls of Graceland for everyone to see so...😁👍❤🇫🇮

[@aletmartins6940]

That’s an impressive wall!

[@snowbird4212]

One and only, the KING 💋 You will be loved forever ❤ 🥰💋💋💋

[@joeyricefried9621]

True LEGEND.

[@sarahberke7194]

Enjoy your reactions. You should watch his Aloha special 1st to a live satellite program seen around the world. Now you know where Michael Jackson got his dance moves. You should also check out a documentary called the Echo never dies.

[@wallflowerj6013]

“LOVE ME TENDER”. 1970. Please please!!❤️🙏

[@tarae5076]

His body movements directed the band.

[@KS-catnip]

Your wife is a very bright woman! Can't go wrong with The King!!

[@Elvos2008]

Subscribed, to see you discover Elvis for what he was and still is. It's a great journey...and so much to discover. Suspicious Minds Live 1970 is something similar like this performance-wise, But a classic on it's own.

[@marianoloughlin1491]

He will never be deth he will always be here in this life his musicwell keep him alive Sing with the Angles ur with ur king ur home with ur loves ones thank u for all the love and laughter u brought into every ones home clare Ireland🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤🙏❤🙏🙏

[@carolhayar3037]

New subscriber -- thanks for this. Poke Sallet (correct spelling) comes from from the poisonous Pokeweed plant that can be picked in the springtime, cooked & eaten. The more simple white jumpsuits (like this one here is the Chain suit w-leather tabs 1970 Vegas) & the white Concho jumpsuit w-large silver circles is also from Vegas 1970 & on such songs as Suspicious Minds, Bridge Over Troubled Water; later jumpsuits became more & more intricately designed w-many jeweled embellishments such as 2 light blues in1972 for Hampton Roads & Madison Square Garden & dark blue in Greensboro, NC. His movements were not actually dancing - it was a combination of some karate & a lot just from what he felt coming from the music of the song he was performing. Note that there are always more than one version for the songs he did - depending on who filmed the video & the year it was performed & he never performed a song the same way 2ce, he never repeated himself, it was always different. Some video quality is marvelous, some is not so good; hopefully you'll get to see good quality film & audio. Thx very much for this.

[@valerieultramaga]

The Legend 😍🥰🤩😁💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@carolburnett190]

Although you have it spelled like it was on Elvis’ album, it’s really poke sallet. It is made from the leaves of pokeweed and is deathly toxic until it’s been cooked and drained multiple times. The berries are also poisonous to humans. It was one of the first plants to come up in the spring so it was the first “fresh” vegetable/greens that folks had. I grew up in the mountains of North Carolina and it was common for the people living back in the woods to eat poke sallet. I have always loved this version! It also shows why he was known as Elvis the Pelvis and filmed from above the waist only for Ed Sullivan’s show.

[@sunnycrocker6016]

Loving Elvis all this years. Just want to stared him so much charisma human being OMGS you Elvis, thank you hoppy reactions😂

[@tommyk6719]

You need to check out Suspicious Minds 1970 Vegas live performance. Very high energy!!

[@eviekelpie1]

Your wife is a wise woman. Would love to see her sometime with you. We don't have "Polk Salad" here in Australia but have turnips🤣. I just love the groove of this song. Please do, Love me tender, live in Las Vegas, 1970. It's going to put a huge smile on your face ( much more than your already beautiful smile now) 😁

[@Debcatawba]

Watching you watching him is pure enjoyment times two!

[@jkronen1000]

Check out my favourite early Elvis from the movie King Creole - song is Dixieland Rock - I put it on when I’m having a bad day and it always makes me dance ❤️❤️❤️

[@jimgarvin6313]

His moves was the music flowing his body. He always did that from the begining,

[@Kagawongdog1]

anything from the 68 comeback special - black leather Elvis

[@vickylong3229]

Elvis was pure music in every move he did. I have a hard time breathing just watching this video. One girl described him as a black panther waiting to leap! That is a very good description. Was a good thing I wasn't there live! 😂❤❤❤ this is from "Elvis That's The Way It Is" video. I've watched it a 100 times and love it everytime. Thank you for playing this video. Elvis foerver!❤❤❤

[@pattytyndall1021]

Yayyyy…Love This❤️❤️❤️

[@7Sandie]

you are right, his charisma is off the charts!

[@sopala3952]

First ever tv satélite concert broadcast happened in 1973 and guess who that performer was…it was called Elvis Aloha from Hawaii . Beamed to 40 countries and watched by 1.5 Billion fans.. no on has broken that audience record even today.

[@robinmahan8814]

Haha, we still have poke salad every spring. It's easy to find down here, just par boil it and drain three times before you fry it and scramble a couple eggs in, little salt and pepper. It's like a tonic for us country folk. Right along with sassafras tea, and morels.

[@KalElvis]

Elvis is Everywhere

[@solreaver83]

He use to say the music just moved him, his moves are how the music goes through him

[@joanmatthews2570]

Elvis was amazing. He could sing blues, rock and roll, any genre and he especially loved gospel. He had a great sense of humour and so chsrasmatic. React to "Hurt", How the Web Was Woven

[@gailcalderone5229]

Every time i watched this video, i get so nervous that his gun is going to pop out of his boot or just go off...Unless he didn't have it that night ..His guy's said " Elvis wouldn't go on stage without it."He was always getting death threat's..Just love him n all his silly way's.. Thanks again....

[@tarae5076]

You need to see Trying to Get to You from the 68 comeback special. Trust me.

[@grahammalcolm7130]

Elvis was dirt poor and many of his friends were black . He loved black spiritual music ,Gospel quartets, ect He sang everything . Check out Proud Mary or never been to Spain 1972. Also check out Baz lermans movie Elvis starring Austin butler its again 🔥

[@doloresburns3301]

You may know, but more conventional groups tried to get his music banned...there were many radio stations that refused to play his music because he was corrupting decent kids. It was one of the first experiences I ever had with that type of prejudice when the man was simply filled with music and joy.

[@pegatheetoo1437]

He had started learning karate and decided to include the movements in his performance.

[@dollcf6722]

I think the early video of "jailhouse rock" it's one of the best video showing his dance moves.

Elvis had the gyrations. Tony Joe had the growl. Please do the original version. Tony Joe has quite a large catalogue of songs, try 'Rainy Night in Georgia', 'The High Sheriff of Calhoun Parish' and 'Willie and Laura Mae Jones' for a mix of different styles. Cheers Tex👌

[@Russ-gy7tx]

Great review on this version, This is Elvis' cover of Tony Joe White's 1968 Polk Salad Annie. Please give the studio version a reaction?

[@suebee4843]

I'm a big fan of Tony Joe White's original. I know Elvis is just doing what Elvis does but his version didn't capture the essence of the song, IMO. I much prefer the black and white video of TJW's performance of his song.
