He was struggling with breathing cuz of his heart. He died six weeks after this performance. He was in pain and very ill at this point. No one like him! Even as he was dying his voice never failed him. RIP

[@ThatGuy-cb3yv]

And he was on a plethora of drugs. This performance breaks my heart, it's so tragic.

[@CWEMorgan]

Elvis died of an allergic reaction, not a heart attack which is commonly believed.

[@christopherone1]

@@ThatGuy-cb3yv yeah, unimaginable amounts of drugs. Shame on his doctors...I mean, did he never get a physical..he also had undiagonsed type 2 diabetes. To see him like this, I can hardly bare it, it breaks my heart.

[@allisonvincent1117]

At the end of the movie when they were on Austin....then switched over to the real performance of Elvis.....busted out crying. He is unhealthy here but this performance gets me every time I watch. Love Elvis!!!! And I also love his verbrado!!!!!

Yes. He needed help and no one helped him.

[@colleenluiz3678]

He died six weeks later. Can’t watch this without tearing up.

You can feel his life leaving him. Not his voice just yet. I am crying from Scotland

He was so sick here his body failed him but his voice & talent never did ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love how this performance ends the Elvis movie. It is such a powerful ending to an amazing movie.

[@wallymarcel1]

It’s a brilliant movie. Have seen it 5 times. The killer was when he ran images of Elvis as a kid (in the movie) along with key clips of Elvis in real life through this song. So emotionally moving.

[@RSpracticalshooting]

shit made me cry, Austin Butler absolutely nailed the role.

[@irisheyes7815]

Watched it numerous times, including this evening. Cried my eyes out at the end… again 😢 Baz and Austin nailed it

[@thebillryan]

Every single reaction ignores how drugged out his mind .All the reactions on youtube bar one. The man was in pain. He was dying and he didn't know it. And preformed probably the greatest performances of his life. Jeez. These reactors arem just culturaly dumb.

[@onechillhill5718]

He was always note perfect, voice spanned 3 1/2 octaves. Elvis' bones could still out-sing anyone on the planet.

[@sharonstevek.6797]

He was so ill. I could cry.

[@howrued1500]

He was dying😔 Literally. Carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. At deaths door… and leaves it all on the field. Both the man & his voice were painfully beautiful, and silenced far too soon😔 My husband was blessed enough to have seen Elvis perform live; what a memory! I hope they packed Col Tom’s casket w plenty of ice water… Or not. Nice reaction; Thank You! Stay safe & love much💖

[@cookieo-fin]

FYI- Elvis Presley was a baritone whose voice had an extraordinary compass - the so-called register - and a very wide range of vocal colour. It covered two octaves and a third, from the baritone low-G to the tenor high B, with an upward extension in falsetto to at least a D flat. Also Elvis said he never had a singing lesson. He just started singing when he was a little kid.

[@chrism.c9965]

Elvis's voice was three octaves!

[@alineharam]

Chris MC, and what a joy for the three octaves.

[@sooner1125]

Oh man I’m 39 years old and just watched the movie and I’m mourning his death for the first time 😢 😭 RIP 👑

[@kathydurow6814]

This was just 2 months or so before Elvis passed in August 1977, so he wasn't in very good shape, but despite that a very creditable performance.

[@AWinkandSmile]

That is probably why he was winded

[@innosanto]

It was one of his best performances lol. His voice was improving all the time.

[@isabel3559]

I find is weird how he died 2 days after anniversary of his mum's death and his dad died exactly 2 years to the day of his last performance 💔

[@wren1960]

So sad 57 days later The King was dead, one of the saddest of my life up to that point.❤️❤️

[@christineaiello7993]

I don't believe any other performer could do such a beautiful rendition of this song if they were as unwell as the King at this time. True Legend 🙌💜

[@fannyaime3816]

Agree 👍

[@spicerack4397]

From bumbling around and then throws out that first note and sings those first words. Jesus. So gifted.

[@meni8015]

Elvis was clearly struggling here and not in good health. However, that incredible voice was still there. This performance was from a concert aired on TV. I found it hard to watch all of it at the time It was too sad. Legend.

[@ardentynekent2099]

I saw Elvis' final performance. He was bloated and pale. He couldn't remember any lyrics, and he seemed to spend a lot of time over in that corner. It was so damned sad; he was unrecognizable. Even people who'd never seen him were horrified. It's been said that his mother's death haunted and changed him. He missed her terribly. I hope they're at peace now.

[@meni8015]

@@ardentynekent2099 So sad. I couldn't watch it all. My favourite is Elvis's comeback special in 1968.

[@papito8078]

He was so tired and exhausted from his job, but he still sings amazing when he’s tired such a hard worker and a good artist

[@benjaminconrad3674]

No no he was not tired, he was dying, he died 6 weeks after his whole body was in pain, his organs (especially heart and lungs as far as I know) were failing, he was bloated caused by water and so on. But still his voice is at 300% efficiency

[@user-oy2xo6zc3l]

Elvis can sing like an angel❤❤❤

[@tylerhackner9731]

The king forever

[@user-oy2xo6zc3l]

He sing whit all his heart and soul❤Im actually crying for him...u have to know that Elvis is so sick here ❤Its his last performance❤❤

[@peterrobinson525]

til the very end that amazing voice never failed

[@OriginalFeets]

The way he looks at Charlie Hodge kills me. He has the look of a kid looking at his dad to see if he's proud.

[@rainerrain9689]

Yes I noticed that too.

[@marykatan7324]

I agree, he looked at Charlie for approval. Like he was saying, I did it.

[@Simon-80]

He said once he is a normal guy cause he get in his pants one leg after another! Man he was humble. Love him❤

[@jacklafary3398]

sadly the crowd sees it. he's gone here. but can still get it. he's dying here. he doesnt have long left. his systems are failing him. the only thing getting him through is the love of song and being up on stage. the drugs and lifestyle has done it's job and he doesnt get better. best singer ever. best performer ever. God bless him

[@Hundhammer]

The King

[@cathy8964]

Elvis could sing opera!!

[@hollygranger3734]

This made me so emotional, I wasn’t alive when Elvis was around but my Dad loved him and this made me cry. I can’t wait to watch the new Elvis film!

[@randygibson5331]

the film is amazing!! just watch it

[@christopherone1]

Yeah, me too. My mom loved him...just adored him; she was completely gutted when he died. I'm obsessed with him lately. This makes me cry, seeing him like this.

[@dorisbrown5528]

He died 6 weeks later. He was so sick, but he tried to give his all.

[@robbansa]

Great reaction, we want much more Elvis.

[@melissavidal2600]

Yes 😁

[@lesgray8709]

It's just amazing that he could continue at this stage - it just shows how much of a performer and artist he is, as long as his heart still beats he would sing - the passion was still there - that's why he was the King! There will never be another can achieve what he did...

[@annmeadows5782]

Want to hear Elvis at his peak watch his Hawaii Special! Have it on DVD play often. Thats how I want to remember him. Loved him no matter what ... highs, lows, and heartfelt struggles to this last moment. Cant say enough admiration on his behalf! 💓

[@thechoshow12]

That's the way it is when he was at his peak. The voice and stage movement was unbelievable.

[@RSpracticalshooting]

I have that album on vinyl.

[@Rosannasfriend]

I don’t recall hearing his head voice before. That was beautiful.

[@alineharam]

Seriously what great control. He was like an Olympic athlete as a singer. Apollo must have touched his heart so he could sing so well

[@ickiedeer-lamb7282]

Shortly before he died. His final performance so he was struggling.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@danielpalmer2084]

Elvis wasn't well here, but still smashed it.6 weeks later he was dead. Such a loss.

[@chasitycaddel1187]

Love watching your reactions to Elvis and love that you appreciate and acknowledge what a great vocalist he was. Sadly he passed away 6 wks. after this performance. He was very ill but his amazing voice never failed him.

[@ardentynekent2099]

Poor man! In his last Vegas show, he couldn't remember any lyrics, was very confused, and immensely bloated. I know they had taken him to Hawaiii to get clean. He didn't. He needed someone, anyone to take him to hospital. And they should have kept him there (despite his wishes), until he had completely recovered. Awful, and I don't understand it.

[@cookieo-fin]

Thank you so much for this reaction! This is one of my favourite Elvis songs. ( yes I know it’s not his song) Elvis’s had an amazing range. Long live the King 👑

[@user-oy2xo6zc3l]

Loved your reaction.. & you can sing so well too. You “hear”’ Elvis as a singer so well.

[@nthdegree1269]

He died soon after. He wasn't well, but his voice poured out as if divinely touched.

[@gigimoore3738]

Thank you for focusing on Elvis' vocal performance and not the sad, negative stuff that so many choose to focus on.

[@lesgray8709]

The new Elvis movie (about his life) comes out on June 24th - there will be a surge in popularity for Elvis with the new generations - of course there will also be new covers of his songs and many many reactions videos. The young people who missed out will have the opportunity to experience this phenomenal artist - his music, his incredible voice, his movies, his humanity...

[@Brian-gz8xt]

Good video...I'd like to see more of these elvis videos with technical analysis such as this..this was 6 weeks before his death. He was in bad physical shape but his singing voice still delivered

[@upclose22]

Okay…This made me cry🥹🥹🥹👏👏👏👏 He really was a beautiful vocalist. Loved him growing up and was very saddened by his death🙏🙏

[@redward13]

Hi.. you have a great voice mate.🇳🇿

[@sackofnachos]

Agree with this! Also, great reaction. Elvis' vibrato really was pretty damn amazing, wasn't it? He had such control and never had a single lesson. Definitely operatic towards the end of his life and career.

[@ppresley9208]

It's Elvis ... nuff said !

[@foltgameeing]

Like you said, he was out of breath. He had indeed just performed a plethora of other songs and was probably exhausted. He was also just a couple of weeks away from dying. He had undiagnosed untreated severe heart problems, he was borderline obese, he suffered from chronic constipation(it may sound humorous but imagine not being able to take a shit for weeks, even months) most likely caused by his extreme amphetamine abuse and was as a whole completely exhausted from touring on the constant. Even though he must've felt like a boulder stuck to a mountain getting up on that stage, he not only got up there but he still gave the people attending the show of a lifetime. He was quite simply the King. God rest his soul.

[@tonyarenee531]

I CRY Every Time I WATCH THIS!!!! WE LOST OUR KING ONLY 2 MONTHS AFTER THIS I THINK! HE WAS SO SICK HERE!!!! BUT HE GAVE IT HIS ALL AND THAT SMILE!!!!! LIKE HE WAS SO HAPPY AND PROUD!!!! PASSED AUGUST 16, 1977 I WAS 10 AND NEVER SAW MY DAD RIP BREAK DOWN AND CRY TIL THAT DAY!!!!! THE WHOLE WORLD WEPT AND STOPPED!!! WOW I LOVE YOUR VOICE - BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ON SPOITIFY?

[@stevedahlberg8680]

As others have said, he was just a few months away from dying at this point. His handlers had him on so many drugs with so many side effects and it's just so tragic. I am so impressed with the fact that his voice and his command of his voice just seem to keep improving right up to when he died. He was in his early forties and at one point in the other video you asked when he died which I'm sure you've looked it up on Wikipedia but I think it was 1977. As far as being underrated as a vocalist, don't forget that James Brown loved him so much and more importantly in a way almost, the Great opera singer Luciano Pavarotti once said of elvis, if Elvis had had any formal vocal training he may well have been the greatest opera singer of that century. That really is something to think about. And for that matter react to some pavarotti! Laugh. Rest in peace king. He was evolving so quickly I have a feeling he would have contributed even so much more to the music scene going forward at least through his 40s and 50s if not longer.

[@markkleckner3060]

Excellent reaction and this was a few months before his death! I believe he wasn't 100% healthy here and that is why shortness of breath. What is incredible is as amazing as that was, just think if he was 100%. I watched a Reactor who had a Voice Monitor to watch the waves when someone sings and he showed that Elvis's Virbrato was like a Computer, for it went perfectly everytime, which to him was unbelievable, God Bless!

[@jaydendowley]

He actually had congestive heart failure whilst performing this song. Amazing how he gets the notes so perfect whilst in such a low state

[@user-oy2xo6zc3l]

He was using all his last strenght on this last song❤😂😂

[@cindyk.6462]

Incredible Performance !!!! No matter what his Voice never failed him.....

[@williamwilson9283]

Elvis showed great humility, love it

[@larryadler6035]

And he would be gone from this world in less than 2 months from this day. 🥺

[@clboelcke]

Although his voice stays amazing, when I watch Elvis perform in his later years, I have always thought he looked like a man who was ill, not just on drugs. I am from a medical family, and my dad, a doctor, always thought the same thing. He would comment that Elvis looked like he was on cortisone (which I have recently found out he was for his lungs). You have to watch the video, or read the book, Elvis: destined to die young by Sally Hoedel. She is a professional journalist and a lifetime Elvis fan who always questioned why did Elvis, his mom, and her two brothers, have similar deaths and health issues. She did extensive research into Elvis's family health history and found out that his mother's parents were 1st cousins who married, and as a result, passed on several genetic health issues to Gladys, her two brothers, and Elvis. Elvis suffered from a young boy of insomnia, and bowel issues. We now would be able to diagnose that as Hirschsprung's disease (congenital megacolon) causing terrible constipation and abdominal pain. Sally's research clearly documents that Elvis, his maternal grandmother, and mother all had an autoimmune disorder that affected their liver and lungs. Autoimmune diseases are only recently better understood. However, due to the fact that Elvis grew up really below the poverty line for years, they had no access to medical care. In the early 1970's, Elvis's doctor did try to understand why a man of his age would have so many health issues, but the tests that would have discovered his illness were not developed. There were no CT scans, MRI's, ultrasounds, etc. Therefore, they threw the drugs they had available at his symptoms, without really treating the underlying disease. It was only in his autopsy report that they found out he suffered from an auto immune inflammatory process. Did he take prescription drugs, Yes; but, I think unlike an addict who takes drugs to escape life, Elvis was taking them for real medical ailments that neither he, nor his docotrs totally understood, and that he was trying to figure out how to survive and continue to be Elvis. Sally states in her book: "There are eleven main systems in the human body and Elvis endured disorder/disease in nine of them. His heart (circulatory system), his lungs (respiratory system), and his bowels (digestive/excretory systems) required medication. Insomnia affected his nervous system. The adrenal gland failure and resulting low testosterone are both issues of the endocrine system. His immune system was compromised. His urinary system was not functioning properly. The arthritis that caused Elvis severe pain throughout his body impacted his muscular system and skeletal system. There is clearly more at play here than a dependence on prescription medication when more than eighty percent of Elvis’ bodily systems did not function properly. When we add to that the evidence that I have uncovered proving that of those nine, five-the circulatory (heart disease), respiratory (Alpha 1), digestive/excretory (megacolon), nervous (insomnia) and immune (hypogammaglobulinemia)-were present since birth and certainly prior to the prescription drug use that accompanied fame." Elvis dedicated his life to getting his family out of poverty, and keeping them out. At the end of his life he had more than 100 people on his payroll, and I believe that he was a very ill man who was struggling to continue to provide for those he loved, and to give everyone what they wanted--Elvis Presley. I am thankful that Sally has done some interviews that are posted on KZbin, and has written a book that helps us understand the man, and that gives him back his integrity. He was NOT a dope riddled man. He was an ill man trying to survive, and who wanted to continue to bless the world with his unique gifts. Baz Luhrman got this wrong in his movie.

[@deborahcornell171]

It's hard to watch this clip, knowing how ill he was. But I like to see you react to Elvis so I watched anyway..that voice still was powerful. The last year of his life, a few friends told him he should take a year or two off. Just go rest somewhere. Elvis replied that he couldn't do that because too many people depended on him, people on the payroll who's pay put food on their tables. Elvis also donated to over 50 charities every year. And he couldn't resist helping people, whether friends or strangers. Between the Colonel & Elvis's own generous heart he basically worked himself to death. And of course there was heart disease, a twisted colon, glaucoma & the variety of prescription meds & corticosteroids he took, because of addiction and real health issues combined. It's a sad ending but oh, what a glorious life much of it was & what a contribution he made to music & culture..& to people's lives. I'd love to see you react to trailer 1 & trailer 2 of the Elvis movie that opens this weekend. Would LOVE to see your reaction to those. They're 3 minutes each, you could even do them both in one video!💙☮

He might have just been performing sure, but this was also during the era where his health was declining and he was on drugs I think as well. So those could’ve contributed to the labored breathing.
