Elvis Presley - What Now My Love?- 1973 LIVE PERFORMANCE COMMENTARY/ANALYSIS/REACTION

[@TAnucci]

What an incredible gorgeous creature.....not just in looks but in all that he does with that voice!! Beautiful reaction!

There is ELVIS and then there is everyone else.

[@debbyschultz1729]

The concert you just saw was filmed live via satellite and viewed by over 1.5 Billion people worldwide in 1973! A record that has not been broken!! And Elvis performed with No Auto Tune!! Just Elvis' wonderful voice, his vibrato, his stage presence, There was and never will be another Entertainer that can or will compare to Elvis! The raw passion, energy, and stage presence is absolutely, beyond a doubt in my mind, heart and soul he was and always will be The Greatest Entertainer of all time!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤!!! I have been an Elvis fan for over 64 years and I listen to him daily!! I truly miss him and wish he was still here!! Thank God for this Beautiful Man and for the wonderful music, movies, etc. That we have the privilege to enjoy and share!!

[@user-dr2yc1de9e]

There is no question about it, Elvis was in total control of the arrangements for all the live songs. Elvis is the greatest performer of all time no one beats Elvis and certainly not mj .

[@therewatchproject]

His control on these performances is sensational! - Mike

[@TyrsPaladium]

Oh yeah that was a MasterClass in musicianship. Elvis was the arranger. Joe Gershio Orchestra is in the mix but Joe did whatever Elvis directed him to do. Elvis was extremely involved in every key and every note of the orchestra. He could feel it. He would know if something is off and he would adjust on the fly. On this particular song, the Orchestra is perfect and that’s who Elvis was signaling to at the end when he clinched his fists. He was actually thanking the band.

[@therewatchproject]

LOVE these details. - Mike

[@ChefBarb58]

THEY ALWAYS MADE FUN OF HIS THANK YOU VERY MUCH... BUT THEY KEEP LEAVING OUT THAT HE ALSO SAYS ,,,,YOUR BEUTIFUL AUDIENCE 💞 TODAY HE WOULD THANK ALL THE REACTORS AND HIS ELVIS FANS AND SAY THE SAME EXPRESSION THANK YOU, YOUR WONDERFUL AUDIENCE 🦋JUST BEUTIFUL SOUL OF MAN✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

[@carolcliff5150]

Elvis did what he felt and taught himself to do it superbly. His genuine appreciation of other musicians encouraged them also to make wonderful music. It still surprises me to hear someone like you appreciate his talent after the vicious criticism and ridicule he got when he was alive.

[@Machomannorway]

Seeing this man live in concert, must have been close to a religious experience. An incredible singer, a «charisma monster» that transcends time and bridges generation gaps, vastly underrated. No need for 100 dancers, gimmicks or 200 trucks with extra effects, just one man and his mind-blowing talent. His back-up singer,, Kathy Westmoreland, classically trained, said it best, « his voice just responded, he hit notes that he wasn’t supposed to hit. He reduced us (the back-up singers),to tears, many, many times with that voice». World-famous opera singers, like Pavarotti and Placido Domingo, loved Elvis, the latter commenting, «his voice, was the one voice I wish I had». Elvis, missed by millions to this day.

[@MigdaliaTomalinas-os2nz]

I have watched this reaction several times. Don’t apologize for stopping. I like when you highlight and replay my favorite parts when you can hear and see the transition in his voice, face body. Pure magic.

[@helenludlow2331]

Absolutely stunning - nobody like him ⭐⭐

[@victoriarios3726]

Great reaction. Thank you. Elvis is outstanding!! ❤❤❤❤❤The greatest.

[@therewatchproject]

Thank you so much Victoria! - Mike

[@rhondadavis1897]

Isn't he amazing? Just love him! And yes he did all his arranging and producing, at some point you should watch his in studio rehearsals. Like when he was trying to get the exact sound he wanted with the song "Bridge Over Trouble Water". Then watch him have fun with the band and backing singers afterwards. I bet you'd enjoy it. You did a great reaction! Thank you

[@therewatchproject]

Thanks so much Rhonda! I am really keen to watch some of these rehearsals, I bet they are FASCINATING

[@Aquarius69]

Thank you for your great reaction. Elvis was underrated as an arranger. He arranged all the songs in thousands of hours in rehearsels, like he wanted it to be, brought in on stage and made it all his own.

[@therewatchproject]

Thank you so much for your kind words. He really was an underrated arranger.

[@jeanineking6327]

i love elvis forever

[@belinda35_77]

elvis always remained just a boy from tupelo in his heart he never forget where he came from, the people who helped him along the way & his fans that made it all possible he often said he felt like the most blessed person on the planet and giving back was his way of paying for that privilege elvis was absolutely involved with every lil single thing that was played on that stage & how it was played the same goes for his studio work he was never credited as a producer but if you speak to anyone who ever worked with him they will tell you he should've been & was one of the best to do it this was his rehearsal show for the world wide aloha from hawaii simulcast..the first entertainer to ever do it all the proceeds went to cancer research & people attending both shows were asked only to pay what they could afford for their tickets elvis even paid for tickets of everybody you see on stage with him & for his own ticket ($1000 for his) lol if you can believe it they ended up raining over $75,000 which was a lot of money in 1973 i was fortunate enough to hear elvis do this live a few months after this performance in seattle honestly me & dad were in tears when he finished absolutely remarkable!! thank you so much for your insightful intelligent commentary regarding elvis please checkout his "its now or never" 1960 elvis take on o sole mio studio version for this one again, thank you so much

[@Mariethename99]

Love your reactions...Elvis was heavily involved with the arrangement of the songs he recorded. He is the greatest of all time. The king forever 👑👑👑❤❤❤

[@therewatchproject]

Thank you so much Marie! - Mike

[@davidharrison1523]

Elvis was heavily involved in the music arrangements & arrangements for the backup singers. Nothing happened on stage that Elvis hadn’t arranged, or had approved of. Lighting on stage was very important in Elvis’ case, as he suffered from advanced glaucoma of both eyes, & lights shining directly into his eyes was not only very painful, but also could cause further damage. He was having cortisone steroid injections into his eyes to lower the very high pressure causing the glaucoma. So yes, everything that went on during a performance, was either orchestrated by him, or had been approved by him. I hope you will watch An American Trilogy which is an Amazing performance from this same 1973 Aloha from Hawaii concert, which was the first live concert beamed across the globe via satellite to forty countries. I watched it live in New Zealand.

[@LeilaLinville-tu4nb]

There will never be another Elvis Presley. He was such a beautiful singer and had a great personality.❤

I am so impressed by your comments and reaction. You explained perfectly why he is the King and how gifted he is. Thank you so much for that lovely experience. I believe you would enjoy the way he arranged and performed "Bridge Over Troubled Water " from 1970 Las Vegas and also "American Trilogy " from 1973 Aloha From Hawaii ( the actual show, not rehearsal). There are quite a few excellent performances in that concert.❤❤❤

[@johnnybravo5145]

I’m in the Chicago area in the state of Illinois, USA. I’m 66 years old. I was fortunate enough to actually see Elvis In Concert 5 times. I saw him at the Chicago stadium in June 1972 when I was 14, October 1976 when I was 18, and May 1977 when I was 19. Perhaps my best experience was when I saw him at The Elvis Summer Festival at The Las Vegas Hilton in August 1974, I was 16 at the time and saw 2 of his shows there…. I would have to say seeing him in Las Vegas was a much more intimate experience as the showroom held only 2200 people as opposed to 20,000 at the Chicago Stadium. I wish everyone all the best and we are all blessed that Elvis is a part of our lives in one way or another. Take care everyone.

[@sudeshkrishnan4564]

Indeed, Elvis arranged the live performances. His pianist set out the basic arrangement on some songs, but it's really all Elvis when it comes to arrangements. The arranging continues on stage - subtly he uses his hands to indicate tempo, loudness, and also his legs to call for beats, or his head and side glances for something at that moment. The whole body is used to communicate with the singers and musicians. Everyone on the stage watches him closely for any changes to the basic structure. He does it so effectively that no one in the audience at the time would have realised it was happening. He still has the resources to sing sincerely, look at all in the audience. And the observation about the Appalachian spirit is interesting; bluegrass was natural for him.

[@user-dr2sk3wh7i]

Jane H …. An American Trilogy from this Aloha from Hawaii 1973 live concert is Amazing …. & Trying To Get To You from the ‘68 Comeback Special are both great performances for you to react to.Elvis had a fast vibrato that actually was as wide as an opera singer’s, & he also had vocals that ranged from upper base, right through baritone, & up into Tenor, basically covering a vocal range similar to that of many opera singers. Thank you for an authentic & appreciative reaction.

[@TheElvisSpirit]

Nice analyzation, joined for more Elvis "reactions".. He sings in a way ,that he sings it personally to "the listener ". Especially his gospels ,hit hard.

[@MigdaliaTomalinas-os2nz]

Love your description of his voice. The build up of his voice gives me goosebumps every time. Great performance. The whole Aloha from Hawaii concert is spectacular. Every song is perfection. There is another addition to the concert which was recorded after the concert. Love, love, love Elvis.💕💕💕

[@carolhayar3037]

The importance of THAT RUNWAY from the STAGE: Producer/director Marty Pasetta told Parker (Elvis' manger) that he wanted to build a runway for Elvis to walk out onto & Parker said no. Pasetta explained that it would be 8 ft. wide & Elvis could stay in the middle or go to the left or to the right if he wanted to because Pasetta knew how important the audience was to Elvis, but Parker still said no. Fortunately, Pasetta was able to meet w-Elvis & he explained exactly what he told Parker. Fortunately again, Elvis overrode Parker & told Pasetta to build the runway. Pasetta told Elvis he wanted him to lose some weight & Elvis lost 25 lbs. Elvis then hugged Pasetta & said you are one of the few people who has been totally honest w-me. Without that runway the concert would have been somewhat different if Elvis did not have the option to get in close touch w-the audience. This concert was a benefit to raise money for the Kui Lee Cancer Fund. It was expected to raid $25,000 but raised $75,000. Elvis bought his own ticket for $1,000. Thanks for the good reactions you do.

[@therewatchproject]

Thank you so much and what an awesome story! - Mike

[@lange6542]

[@nancy9891]

He has been singing like that since 1960. “It’s Now or Never” and “Surrender” show his operatic tendencies as a 25 year old man. Beautiful!

[@jobydogwhisperer4163]

Meet him in Hawaii when he was doing this concert. Most handsome, nice man ever. He is the best entertainer I have ever seen. Charisma in spades. Seen many great entertainers but never another ELVIS. Pavarotti once said " Elvis could sing like him but he could not sing like ELVIS."

[@therewatchproject]

Oh wow, that's amazing!

I'm watching all Elvis again. " my ❤ skips a beat when i watch Elvis.

[@johnwhelan9225]

I think Elvis's gospel singing gave him that extra depth when it came to emotional performances such as this. It's one thing having the tools but another to know how to use them. Elvis was a master at his craft.

[@carolhayar3037]

BACKGROUND INFO: The original French song is entitled "Comme d'habitude" and composed by Jacques Revaux, Gilles Thibaut & Claude François. The English version (My Way), was re-written by Paul Anka for Frank Sinatra. Anka changed the lyrics & slightly altered the melodic structure. The translation of "Comme d'habitude" literally means "as per usual" - about something that happens regularly or that isn't surprising & has nothing to do w-Anka's re-written English version. The video of the original French version w-English subtitles is on the internet. Sinatra's daughter Nancy said that Sinatra did not like the song to the point of hating it. Sinatra said it was "self-serving" but performed it many times anyway. The difference between Sinatra & Elvis is the emotion & passion Elvis put into the song - as he did w-every song he sang. AMAZING VERSION THIS IS!

[@francineevieceli2582]

You really need to listen to " Bridge over troubled water" it will knock your socks off!!

[@stefanovirgili9319]

Really enjoyed your commentary & reaction to what is a superb performance by the king. One of my all time favourites, the lyrics too so relevant to Elvis's recent divorce at the time. Your video to this the best reaction to this song I have seen, and there are many out there! Thank you.

[@therewatchproject]

Thank you that's so kind, really, really appreciate that! -- Mike

[@kathifielder1110]

I'm gonna hit you up with a couple Elvis requests for songs that were recorded during the same time frame as "Hound Dog" and "Blue Suede Shoes". Some think he went from rock 'n' roll in the early days to ballads in the later years. Nope. The versatility was there from the beginning. The studio version of Blue Moon from his first album in 1956 Take My Hand, Precious Lord - Elvis Presley (3:20) from his third album in 1957

[@therewatchproject]

Both added to the list. Thank you! - Mike

[@dcftcb7764]

👑✌️

[@TheUltimateElvisChannelbyLeon]

Absolutely love these Elvis reactions that you have embarked on - I love the technical analysis that you are giving too - keep them coming. What Now My Love, which was one of the big ballads of the type Elvis loved to sing in the later years. The arrangement to the song is wonderful as it builds verse on verse using the string section, backing vocals and piano to great effect. It is deceiving with the first two verses very similar before the explosion that is the final verse, with that magnificent finale. Listen out too for a wonderful soprano by Kathy Westmoreland throughout. Never recorded in the studio by Elvis, it's most famous pre-Elvis recording is probably the Shirley Bassey version, although it has been covered quite extensively since.

[@therewatchproject]

Wow, such kind words and fascinating helpful information. I really appreciate that! - Mike

[@kathifielder1110]

New subscriber here! I'll apologize for the length of this comment up front but hope you'll find it interesting. As you surmised, Elvis was highly involved in the arranging and producing of his music. He always had the final say. He grew up too poor to take any formal music lessons and never did learn to read music. He remembered singing gospel songs at the age of two, and it remained his favorite genre throughout his life. He claimed to know every "colored spiritual" ever written. His influences were varied. As a child, he heard lots of country music, attended a pentacostal church with his parents and also churches with his black playmates. He and his parents enjoyed the all-night traveling gospel shows that were available in his town of Tupelo, Mississippi.. He was also exposed to rhythm and blues played by black men in his neighborhood. As he got older, he listened to all kinds of music including opera. Some of his favorite singers were Roy Hamilton, Mario Lanza, Roy Orbison, Dean Martin, and Fats Domino. If you listen to them, you'll hear them come through in Elvis' voice. When he moved to Memphis at the age of 13, he landed in the heart of the blues and often visited the clubs on Beale Street as a teenager to soak it all in. As he began his career, at the age of 19, all the genres of music that he loved came crashing together to form a unique style. He also attended the monthly gospel quartet concerts where he was known as the pesky kid who was full of questions backstage when the shows were over. At the age of 20, when he was touring and recording for a small studio in Memphis, he asked one of the quartets if they would be his back-up singers if he got a major recording contract. His first band consisted of him on guitar, an electric guitar player, and a stand-up bass player. They were then joined by a drummer. When he got that major recording contract, he requested the gospel quartet. However, the studio only called in one of them. They didn't comprehend the unique ability that Elvis possessed on how to put a sound together. He seemingly had this ability from day one. As time moved on and musicians came and went, his group expanded with him auditioning and hand-picking each one. He needed people who could keep up with his spontaneity. He saw himself as just part of the group. With Elvis it was always we and us -- never I. He respected them and was a perfectionist without being a taskmaster if that makes sense. Well, I've rambled on long enough. Hope I haven't bored you with a bunch of info that you already knew.

[@therewatchproject]

Wow thank you, that is so awesome and fascinating. He really was able to assimilate all of this incredible music and refract it out into the world as something new, unique and powerful. Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments! - Mike

Great review nothing and I mean nothing like Elvis rip

[@joanmatthews2570]

Wow wow!!

[@iblogthereforeiam4267]

It is my understanding that Elvis had all things to do. Every aspect of the arrangement was out of him and had to be approved, and he would tweak it as he felt the need, but absolutely he was thoroughly engaged and involved in that part of the process.

His performance the next night for the actual show was better. Although he did kill it at the end.

[@allandickson8576]

Elvis arranged everything in his live shows and if just one person was slightly out, be it a bum note or key etc, he would hear it (when no-ne else could) and look at them to say 'I heard that' and would sometimes start the song over again. You should watch some of the rehearsals from That's The Way It Is to get some idea of this. He could also listen to a song once and play it on the piano immediately afterwards, even though he couldn't actually read music. A savant basically.

That man died when I was 10 yrs old.. to this day I respect him so much.. His actual humbleness.. We have an election coming up here soon in the states.. when Elvis Presley was asked about his political views back in the day.. he said.. I'm an Entertainer and I will keep my political views to myself.. Respect. Entertainers today should not try to sway their fans to their way of thinking. It's just wrong to me.

There are the rehearsal vids and the actual one. However, both were live. The official video is probably the best. But hey, Elvis is great anytime

[@peterdowney1492]

Excellent, excellent review. And you've hit the nail with many of your points. Take your point about vulnerability. This is something he shares with Frank Sinatra - I don't like Sinatra's or Presley's 'My Way'. That's not what these two guys are about. Presley when he's tough, he's tongue in cheek. It may be worth listening to an early Presley song 'Harbour Lights' (actually a song that came out of the writer's visit to Southampton docks). This is a young man with a much less powerful voice. Consequently, the vulnerability is even more pronounced. And sweaty. Exactamundo, this is an athlete. And he works for his audience. I like your point about it you feel 'it could go wrong at any one point'. It's interesting because, I think it was Elvis' first drummer, Jo Fontana who is on record as stating that Elvis did not mind if he missed a note or something not quite right happened. I think one very good song to listen to is 'Hurt'. I watch it now and think 'Will he get it'. Your question about Presley and how much he was involved with the arrangement might be answered (interested to hear what you think) by looking at the beginning of 'That's The Way It Is'. Nice one, mate.
