Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds (Live in Las Vegas 1970) (Reaction)

Performing with Two backup groups, an orchestra, a full band and no ear piece, no lip sync, no auto-tune, just a true performance, by a pure and timeless talent.

Elvis is still timeless

[@alisonmontana8895]

I'll tell you a memory of Elvis, I was with my mother at a Dr's appointment, she was in with the doc, and I was in the waiting room, they announced over the speaker that Elvis Presley had died, everyone in the office began to cry and wail, I was just a kid, and didn't know what was happening. When my mom came out crying, I said: "Mom, who was Elvis Presley?" She said: "The best-looking man that ever lived. So, for years I thought that is what he was famous for. There was a lot more to Elvis than an entertainer, look up 'the Elvis train and how that happened. Or the songs in 'the ghetto. ' Or "If I can dream." He lived a great life.

In Vegas always 2 shows a day for a month, 8p dinner show, 12am the midnight show. Then when he was out on the road it would be 2 concerts a day. And on this im not saying it was right or good but I can see why, too keyed up after a concert, so sleeping pills to help sleep and then uppers to get going the next day, unfortunately Elvis always thought "hmmm, 2 pills can make me sleep" let's see if I take 4/8/12 at a time I'll really be knocked out

[@margarettaylor8107]

@@p.j.morris633 PJ ,I do not disagree. He said the last few were honorary belts. Ginger has his 9th. WHAt I know is Charlie said and his maid said etc that Elvis cried the night before the ceremony because he did not want to get married but the Colonel tricked him into it. You say you knew him 10 years. As an Elvis fan, I like hearing about him from those he loved and trusted. How were you fortunate enough to know him? Three things ..if you would share..did he want the divorce? or was he depressed over it. My opinion is he wanted his freedom but he was embarrassed by her flaunting another man in front of the world. Another question is did he want her back? My opinion is no. Finally, did he know he would die soon? Referencing what he told you would help a lot. Thanks, PJ. I know you say you get ridiculed but Elvis fans deserve the truth after all that Elvis hating and lies are everywhere.

And that , gentlemen , is old school entertainment and why he will always be known as the " king " (even though he hated that title ... a very religious man , he believed Jesus was the only king ) !!

Elvis did move to the beat but his band really followed his movements. They really had to watch him every second because they never knew what he was going to do. Great reaction.

My one brother is correct❗ He mentioned - "the lady's voices given it up". That's the legendary #SweetInspirations backing Elvis up here. The Sweet Inspirations were considered the premiere soulful backing group in the industry at that time. They backed up Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin many other greats. He was on point for recognizing their great voice is on lock. Side note trivia involving another Legend here - this was one of #JimiHendrix favorite Elvis jams. His friend (journalist Sharon Lawrence) said when this Elvis song came on the radio back in the day Jimi would "shush" everybody around him, and crank up the volume on radio singing along with Elvis on Suspicious Minds. RIP to them Both Jimi & EP

That's right. She really only sang backup for a brief time before taking time off to raise her family. I think it was only a few months. The Sweet Inspirations was the name of their group.

I know I'm late to this party, but Elvis was conducting the band and particularly Ronnie Tutt on drums. Spectacular performer, the whole band watched his body for cues on when to go all out or to slow things down. He had a great rapport with all of them. He's mimicking the drums with those beautiful hips of his. And that booming, gritty voice he was sheer perfection. And a 8th grade karate black belt ❤

The "shove it up your nose" line isn't actually part of the lyrics. Elvis would throw in different funny ad lib lines to see if we would catch them. Elvis was a notorious practical joker.
