Elvis Presley Scene from ‘This is Elvis’ MGM 1981 REACTION

[@pjolivier2888]

Back then there wasn’t 7 billion people on the planet, that stats for today, but in 1973 when this went live, it was 4 billion, and 1.5 of that lot watched Elvis!!!!

[@debbyschultz1729]

1,5 Billion viewers worldwide!! He was and still is the G O A.T! ❤❤❤❤

[@annleffew3857]

Yes it was seen by 1.5 billion people in 36 countries that's how popular he was back then everyone loved elvis just like everyone loves him now my mom watched that show also she loved him!

[@BrandonFromLYT]

1.5 billion people watched that concert and it is in the Guinness book of world records.

[@mimi-422]

Facts!!!!!

[@judyzeller3921]

There were only 4 billion people on earth at that time - so about 1/3 of the world watched him.

[@kerrypapworth1526]

Pricilla was21 when she married Elvis, he was not pedophile. More people watched this concert than the moon landing. I watched it in Australia with my parents in the middle of the night. I was mesmerised.

[@marciaduffy1864]

It was the first live concert via satellite seen all over the world by a billion people.

[@lindasuarez1050]

… and by a single artist. Btw, I was one of those 1.5 billion who watched it.

[@Tubs34]

It’s a simple fact my friend do your research.Over 1 billion people in 1973 watched that concert and bear in mind there wasn’t as many people in the world then it’s really an astonishing achievement.

[@twanomusicreactions]

i heard they only had 3 channels to watch at the time , if that’s the case then it’s easier for me to believe

[@mrchips4489]

"Aloha From Hawaii" satellite concert in 1973...it's well documented that over 1 billion people watched it and in the 1970's, there were under 3 billion people in the world so it was an even bigger accomplishment. Elvis was the first Superstar and had reached the pinnacle of fame prior to the concert. No one had ever seen anyone like him before; and no one has since. Elvis movie suggestions: King Creole; Jailhouse Rock; Flaming Star for starters.

[@MichelleAtnip-iw2ym]

I also think you could ade Viva Las Vegas and Ann Margaret sizzle, and the connection jumps off the screen at you. Until he died he always sent her on the day of her flowers in the shape of a guitar when she didn't receive any on her opening night she knew something was wrong... She was at the funeral.

[@patriciaesposito8941]

Elvis ALWAYS wore jewelry. He’d give some away from stage. There will never be another Elvis. His gospel music is out of this world. Listen to “How Great Thou Art,@

[@annleffew3857]

Elvis met his ex wife when she was 14 in 1958 when he was in the army but they didn't actually get married until she was 21 and he never messed with her until they were married anyways!

[@marion_R]

And 9 months after their marriage his beautiful daughter Lisa-Marie was born.

[@lillianthomas8445]

Actually, it was 1.5 billion watched it

[@marygammons3323]

Please do love me tender live 1970 I think you will enjoy it. And just pretend. From a third generation Elvis fan thank you for keeping Elvis alive

[@DonnaShafer-w5i]

Good idea!

[@Maxxroad]

For the youth that weren't alive in the 1970s and 1980s, it's hard for you all to wrap your collective mind around the fact that ELVIS was a Gid amongst men. You dont understand how boring TV was. Then bam ELVIS ALOHA FROM HAWAII. Think how everyone had Covid on their minds. ELVIS was on everyone's mind that faithful day.

[@camiamayo5093]

Elvis loved his fans thank you for this reaction and sharing it with us

[@annleffew3857]

Think about this there was never a satellite show ever so everyone in the world was tuned in when they heard elvis presley was going to be on a stage singing all of his songs in Hawaii the only singer to do that back in the day it had to be exciting to everyone if u go look it up u will see the truth I did all of my research on this man for years I know alot of information I've been in love with him since I was 4 years old thanks for ur elvis reactions

[@Aquarius69]

In 1973 the population was 4 billion people. Official 1.5 billion watched his Aloha From Hawaii Concert, that was beamed in 36 countries all over the world. So it was a real big number and it´s an unbroken worldrecord till today. Imaging they have beamed it in nearly all countries all over the world...

[@DonnaShafer-w5i]

I can’t believe I forgot I told you to watch this is Elvis, which is amazing because it has real clips of Elvis in it throughout …then watch the new Elvis movie that came out last year starring Austin Butler, simply titled Elvis, I feel that the actor captured the soul of Elvis Presley and I was highly impressed with his performance so those would be the three I would check out, and I would just watch the whole thing because I think if you watch it in clips, then you’ll lose the momentum of the film, so that’s my suggestion ❤️💕

[@TheBohemianAngels]

It's true that a billion people watched. The program was sent out at different time zones and so they may not have been watching exactly at the same time but overall, yes a billion watched. I was one of them. I remember the event. I was 9 years old, and in fact i'm sure more than a billion watched because i remember heading to my aunts home and having family members gathering around the t.v. to watch the concert. Beautiful memories and times for sure.

[@lillianthomas8445]

Elvis was the first super mega star there was no road map on how to deal with it. Unfortunately, he felt isolated. He couldn’t go out like a normal person.

[@twanomusicreactions]

i never thought about that.. he was the first ? that’s crazy

[@theapavlou3030]

​@@twanomusicreactions nobody had ever been that famous. He couldn't go anywhere

[@dasteffes]

He had his entourage-The Memphis Mafia. Some of the guys were life long friends, he met a couple of them when he was in the army. He was in the army for two years, right after he filmed King Creole. ❤

[@terrieyoung1729]

Yep to be exact 1.5 billion people tune in to watch elvis ❤

[@Wolf.1.McLoed]

He's the GOAT

[@ruthanncrandall3978]

Elvis was always reminded by his Daddy to not mess up his career.Just bcuz she was so young,he knew better !!

[@thymeout4rosemary446]

I think you would enjoy the Movie King Creole, Jailhouse Rock or Loving You. He was ages 21, 22 and 23 when he acted in those and they have good songs and dancing.

[@theapavlou3030]

Elvis had glaucoma, he wore sunglasses to protect his eyes. When he came on stage there were so many camera flashbulbs going off that it irritated his sight. Ine night he was blinded by them that he fell coming off stage which affected by his ability to move as much on stage (according to Larry Geller, his friend & hairdresser). That redheaded guy is Red West who happened to walk in the bathroom at school where some guys were about to hold Elvis down and cut his long hair off, he stayed close with him and employed him and several other bodyguards (the memphis mafia) to guard him. He was one of the snakes who turned on him at the end. Elvis gave away a ton of jewellery, cars, bought houses and wheelchairs for people and for strangers. Elvis made those guys a part of history, unfortunately they weren't professionals and no image or media consultants existed at the start of his career to guide him. At the time Aloha was watched on 42% of the planet's TV sets. Remember there were not 7bn on earth in 1974. Check the stats off the documentary. You're showing how young you are by bot believing that. Elvis couldn't step foot outside without crowds gathering and riots breaking out to grab a piece of him. Half the planet wanted to sleep with this man, the other half wanted to be him. He was the world's first walking orgasm. On all fronts he was 🔥🔥🔥 His life was fkd for the whole 23 year career he had. It was tragic in many ways. ❤

[@shirleycarr5387]

Love elvis.

[@patriciaesposito8941]

You are wrong! It made history cuz it was first world wide satellite show. Every country was on their time zone. It’s never been matched!

[@twanomusicreactions]

i’m sure i will be wrong about a lot more to come

[@patriciaesposito8941]

Don’t misunderstand me. I appreciate your reacting to Elvis! You are doing a good job.

[@bluebuddy46422]

It's got to be king Creole .Elvis was all about his fans ,he gave back and never denied his fans a kiss,an autograph etc .He knew that it was his fans who put him in the place he was and his mission was to give back to as many as he could

[@mimi-422]

To this day what Elis did can never be compaired! !!!

[@Snorkebogan]

Love your Elvisreactions❤❤

[@taramahoney2412]

All the guys that hang with Elvis. They were called the Memphis Mafia. Some were his musicians friends. They had different jobs that they did for Elvis.

[@danieldonohue8725]

God loves you man. You are more than cool. And more than kind. Thank you for the laughs and the interesting weird shit that is awesome 👍😎✌️❤️😎👍

[@rong805]

So the billion people who watched the show was technically over a span of months collectively. Meaning that this satellite technology was new and it was played in different countries at different times and it got very good rating everywhere!. It didn't air in the USA until April. The show was done January 14. It was simply the way technology was at the time. You have to remember there were usually only 3 main tv channels to watch and these type of events were huge because there was no bigger star in the world than Elvis.

[@theapavlou3030]

It didn't air the same day in the US becauae it clashed with the Superbowl

[@declanroe5931]

And in 1973 there was 4 billion ppl in the world so over a quarter of the world population tuned in to see the greatest ever

[@TrthfulinNC]

The viewership for Elvis Presley's "Aloha from Hawaii" concert was estimated based on television ratings and audience measurement data at the time. The concert was broadcast via satellite and aired in multiple countries around the world, allowing for a large global audience reach. The estimation of 1.5 billion viewers was a cumulative total that took into account viewership numbers from various regions where the concert was broadcast. This is done through the Neilson rating based on satellite hit and strength of signal compared To locations, it is watched. This is how shows today are monitored in viewership totals. Thus js a very accurate process.

[@marshaeddy5300]

YES 1 billion in 36 different countries. That still holds the record for most watched TV show in history. It's True. Look it up.

[@rong805]

This movie, This Is Elvis, is probably the best documentary about his life. It was made just a few years after he died. As far as concert documentaries "That's The Way It Is " from 1970 and Elvis On Tour from 1972. Watch those 3 in order. Finally, watch Elvis, the 1979 TV movie starring Kurt Russell. This covers his life from a child up until the 1969 Vegas shows. The suit Kurt was wearing was an actual Elvis suit that Kurt was given permission to wear by Elvis' father Vernon, who passed away himself shortly after that.

[@christopherdavey2622]

This is him going to and from the shows. He didn't wear the stage costumes for everyday walking around.

[@lynettebrinkman9552]

Back in those days there were only 3 television channels and no computers. Elvis was bigger than you can imagine so 1.5 billion is true fact. Also it was highly advertised that it was the first satellite transmission so watching it was participating in history. My whole family gathered to watch it. We had our popcorn and snacks ready before the show started.

[@cathysmith2941]

King creole is a good elvis movie it was also elvis favorite movie that he acted in

[@tonyamatthews6226]

King Creole is my favorite Elvis movie!!!!

[@RenegadeArt]

Man, don't you know the mega super star we have here?

[@Kulatra199]

damn bro you´re back! i used to watch your Elvis reaction videos like 2 years ago lol. Welcome back

[@Axeman517]

“Chief” wasn’t the guy stealing from him, that was James Caughey

[@DonnaShafer-w5i]

I think you should watch King Creole I think he would like that. It’s an excellent movie it’s about again it’s got a little loving it but it’s really a very well-made film and I think if you’re going to watch an Elvis movie for the first time I would do king Creole. This is Elvis the movie gives you a really good education on the life of Elvis. That would probably be the second film I would watch. I think it’s on KZbin. Start there but that’s where I would go with it. God bless you young man. Love your Elvis reactions. You don’t have to stop cursing on my account lol. Every second word out of my word is a curse anyway all right take care my friend.

[@dasteffes]

It was a concert that was aired on tv - satellite to I don’t know how many countries in 1973. It was amazing.

[@ronaldhol9175]

Aloha From Hawaii was the first concert broadcasted via satellite to many countries all over the world...Actually , it was OVER a billion people who saw it.

[@paulasmith3179]

Elvis favorite movie was KING CREOLE it was his best. thanks

[@mimi-422]

You really need to deep dive Elvis,Elvis and the black community pt,1,2 and 3 ,The Generous Heart,And alot of his lives,especially Gospel❤ ❤👑👑👑👑👑❤️

[@delilahmorrow4606]

Not everyone had televisions. More people watched this concert than the first walk on the moon.

[@brendadavis5634]

[@wallflowerj6013]

“Love me tender” 1970 pleahhheeeaase

[@twanomusicreactions]

lol it’s coming

[@marttihamalainen3724]

Here's the countries where the Aloha show actually ran as part of the original broadcast (live or time-delayed) and add to it the population figures of 1973: Japan: 108 million Denmark: 5 million Netherlands: 13.4 million United States 215 million Sweden: 8.1 million Norway: 3.9 million Brazil: 103 million Hong Kong: 4.2 million France: 53.2 million Australia: 13.3 million West Germany: 62.1 million Philippines: 38.6 million South Vietnam: 19 million South Korea: 33 million Spain: 34.8 million Thailand: 40.2 million Austria: 7.5 million Switzerland: 6.3 million Iran: 31 million Belgium: 9.7 million Canada: 22.3 million You do the math and stop believe in myths...

[@mimi-422]

More people in America watch the 68 comeback Special than the first man on the moon!

[@DanoSeer]

The TV was all you had in 73. There was 1 billion people watching. 36 countries.

[@DonnaShafer-w5i]

You are absolutely positively wrong it was seen around the world and yes, google it resurgent over 1 billion people watch that concert live that night. It is absolutely 100% true.

[@sopala3952]

Believe it..1.5 billion in 40 countries. He never got to tour outside North America so world was desparate to see him Live

[@robertstdon9280]

That's Elvis Memphis mafia bodyguards .Elvis was the King of bling .The jumpsuits he had more than two he had like two hundred

[@pjolivier2888]

Do you know if Elvis didn’t think he gave a good performance, he would want to give the audience their money back. That’s called character.

[@ronaldholmes8525]

I think you should start with Elvis' BEST movie, KING KREOLE , made in 1958 just before he went into the Army .

[@margarettaylor8107]

Elvis' popularity was twenty times that of Taylor Swift and Michael Jackson.The entire world litterally stopped the day he died. Just a little of many examples of his power, popularity and influence worldwide.The United States government credits Elvis as ending the polio epidemic.Elvis is a worshipped hero in Hungary because his influence caused fifty million Hungarians to not starve when Elvis merely asked donations be sent there.He was so popular and adored that both Republican and Democrat parties wanted him as VP candidate.The workd will never see another Elvis Presley.

[@kathyscott6573]

It was World. It was first satellite concert.

[@marlewin5249]

You have to understand that it was the first Satellite broadcast ever and the TV ratings worldwide had signals; Nielsen ratings that tabulated viewership that tuned in. He did that 1973 Hawaii concert for charity; Cancer drive! There were only 4 bil. people on the planet and yes 1.5 tuned in!

[@Blainesingsit]

I just called it power the other day

[@dan27ep]

His security were packing and were into the martial arts. Those jumpsuits you see him in is him leaving or going to concert. He did not wear them in his daily life

[@shirleyellis5897]

Highly recommend King Creole.

[@britishted7811]

the people round him were know as the memphis maffia TCB

[@golddredgewater]

Watch Change of Habit. It’s from 1969. Pretty good movie. He plays a doctor

[@johbsmrf]

Over 1 in four people in the planet watched

WHEN HER DAD TOOK HER TO MEET ELVIS ( When Elvis was in the army) she was 14. When she went to U.S She wasn't. They married when she was22

[@barbarabrannon1542]

Elvis was a very religious man

[@colmflaherty3963]

I would say for the Elvis film would be King Creole. But if you want the best quality I would put colorised HD. I always put HD if I can get it, it's just more enjoyable.

[@DonnaShafer-w5i]

In reference to the car not being that big you’re not remembering that this was decades ago. They didn’t make Karen the way they do today. You’re looking at it in a young person’s eyes. When you go back in time they didn’t make Cadillacs etc. all that big inside today they do but years ago no.

[@MrAlanfalk73]

King creole is the movie you should watch.

[@kathyscott6573]

He had a black belt in karate

It was actually 1.5 billion. Look it up

[@primategaberocco]

He's trapped in a self parody, and he knew it. That ultimately killed him. Can't cage an eagle, it needs to soar. 🥃

[@delilahmorrow4606]

Times was so different back then as far as men dating women. Several married at 15 years old & Stayed married. Women stayed home& men made the living.

[@lindabratcher4457]

HIs wife was 21 years old when they married.

[@keithschoen8673]

You be current on all things Elvis. There is so much information on him. Do your research.

[@sopala3952]

Dont blame you thinking its someone dressed up as him.. fyi as of 2017 they say there were 87,000 Elvis tribute artists around the world. Actually making a living doing Elvis! But nothing like the real deal.

[@Code9]

Elvis hated most of the movies he made and he couldn't wait to get out of the movie contract that his manager got him to sign onto. Anyway, two of the movies that he did like were "King Creole" and "Jail House Rock". With exception of those two movies, and the one called "Loving You", all the rest of them sucked big time and Elvis knew it.

[@sopala3952]

Some of suits were heavy literally 75 pds

[@Joe-d3t1t]

He was completely taken advantage of. Such a shame

[@darrenkoglin3423]

Prove prove prove actually it was 1•5 billion even the Ed Sullivan show when Elvis performed it was 1 in 3 aprox 70% of the USA tuned into this TV show

[@mimi-422]

He had a Genitic disorder going back generations,he was not diagnosed correctly, he had leaky heart disease, Diabetes, Glucoma, His doctor was only prescribing him upers and sleeping pills,So he didnt ever take drugs ,only prescription meds,So very sad! This is a true fact,his gret grandfather married a cousin ,that's why the genetic disorder, his mom died from and so did Elvis and Lisa Marie!

[@mimi-422]

Not rumor/ Facts!!! Look back after Elvis died his dr.had to go to court!

[@SharonMatthews-h3w]

This footage is from the 1970s. You neec to educate yourself and do your research on Elvis. You dont seem to know much about him. He died almost 50 years ago. The 50s, 60s, 70s, were different times than today. Over a billion people watched that special. They have the stats. Its history. Do your research please

[@delilahmorrow4606]

Had 2 jets

[@gailcalderone5229]

A Gun??? Always had a gun on him even on the stage .He always had one in his boot while on stage..His friends that worked for him said Elvis carried three .I don't know about three..Off stage ( Definitely)...
