Some of. Them did come here to see him. So that’s a good thing to know. It is a real shame who and what kept him from doing so much he wanted to do. I feel and have always felt that would have given him more to find to get well and live❣️

You are absolutely right about Elvis. He should have trusted his intuition more often. If Elvis performed abroad, his career would have taken a different turn. Can you visualize the impact!? He would have rocked the planet to the core and and would have it literally on his palm.

@ElvisistheMan_ thst would have been great to see! I grew up watching his movies and listening to his music eventhough I was an 80s baby he was staple at my house, but it wasn't until this year thst I really delved into his live performances including the 1968 Special and the 1970, 1972, and 73 all the way to 77 and holy cow I've been blown away I did not realize the magnitude of his talent even though I grew up on him. If Elvis were still here in his 20s, 30s, his 40s, even 60s and 70s, maybe even up to 88 who knows? Elvis would be the only performer I'd pay big money to see Elvis blows everyone out of the water live in my opinion!!! I love and appreciate other artists don't get me wrong, but Elvis was in a whole other category, he was one if a kind! The King!!

I was born in 1969 and when I went to Graceland, I bought the 1969 International Hotel and his performance pictures! It’s the best Elvis look ever! Super cool stories as well! One story had this guy who snuck into the concert and acted like he was a reporter doing a story. He walked straight up to the front and was asked to sit down at one of the dinner tables right by the stage. He just acted like he was a very important person and played along. It was a super cool story and to see Elvis so close!

[@pink_panther2302]

They have improved the sound of this recording a lot since it 1st was released as a bootleg sound board many years ago. I’ve always liked this show as you can really tell how raw and different it was from the shows we would come to know. He sang many of the songs more slowly and with great dedication.

[@brianwarchol7542]

I absolutely love these 1969 concerts, he would never reach those musical heights again. It’s a shame he didn’t perform more of those recordings such as Long Black Limousine, It Keeps Right on a Hurtin, Any Day Now, etc. Suspicious Minds never sounded as good as he didn’t rush it. My favorite was the one of Inherit the Wind, fantastic song. Thanks for bringing these concerts moments to the fans!

[@ElvisistheMan_]

Yeah that would’ve been great if I was to drew upon his Memphis sessions more in 69/70! But KENTUCKY RAIN, DONT CRY DADDY, IN THE GHETTO, and SUSPICIOUS MINDS were regulars in his setlist. But that would’ve been great to hear the song you mentioned live. He did rehearse “any day now” getting ready for a second biggest season..

So sad Elvis never toured Europe, Asia and South America. He must have been bored out of his mind the constant cycle of touring usa over and over again and being confined to the vegas gig .Such a shame he was deprivated of different opportunities. Elvis knew he had fans all over the world and he must have felt bad he never playing live for them .I feel Tom Jones was a piece of Uk for Elvis and he asked Tom about UK .Our Princess Astrid of Norway sister of our King Harald meet Elvis on G.I Blues . She said Elvis was man with a big M 😁.Parker was so full of BS. The security would have been top notch for a Star of Elvis magnitude. 🙂

[@tonbruins7335]

1969. He never looked and felt better for sure. He was happily married, he was a young father. He was released from those silly movies and went live on stage again and he scored hits again like In The Ghetto and Suspicious Minds. He was on top of the world.

[@dianealhasan3431]

I absolutely love this! Elvis looked and sounded phenomenal. I think 1969 was definitely Elvis' best year for everything. He was happy and everything was going great in his life. Tom Parker was just garbage! He stopped Elvis from doing what he wanted. But Elvis should have stood up to Parker and did what made him happy. Excellent video! Thanks.

[@johnthornton6807]

The first part of Elvis’s career, especially when he was in the army, Parker was excellent for Elvis, keeping him in the spotlight and releasing records while he was in Germany was brilliant management. But after that he was like a bloodsucker, constantly feeding lies, manoeuvring him into films he didn’t really want to do, doing shady deals behind his back, interfering in Elvis’s music direction, I could go on forever everyone knows the rest. Elvis was the biggest star in the world, but if he had got rid of Parker in the mid sixties, he would have become even more famous, if that’s possible, but even more important, I think Elvis’s personal life would have been better, more content and certainly happier.

[@jimmykarlsson2567]

1961 was the biggest one year back from army, the movie Blue Hawaii was a huge success and he was undisputed. In 69 he had alot more competition from Beatles, Rolling Stones, Vietnam flower power music and all that modern stuff. In 61 no one thought about any other than Elvis. And back then he could also sound like he did in the 50s as little older in the 60s

[@antoniofigueiredo5642]

Excellent video! This is a very good research work that brought a very rich view of the moment Elvis was facing: such an important turning point in his career. If he had gotten an international tour at the time, who knows, maybe he would have been more motivated in the following years that became predictable and boring in many ways for him.

[@louk231]

Looking back, we can all see it clearly now , 1968 was Elvis's 'now or never' moment to break away from the Colonel's misguided contracts. The Comeback Special & Steve Binder's influence should have convinced Elvis to do it. I'm convinced that he was discouraged from ever contacting Steve Binder again. Inside stuff that we won't ever truly get to know. Then came 1969 which was his last chance before the Colonel trapped him with the 'table cloth' contract that locked him in to the Hilton until 1974 which turned in to another rut just like the movies. A million dollars for 8 weeks work per year certainly sounded very enticing. It should have been a cake walk. Except for the 2 shows a day crap Too bad he lost his way. He was already relying on bad substances to keep going and he started the mental & physical destruction that we all know about all too well. There were other opportunities too but by now he was heavily addicted and lazy. The rest of the story is just a shame . Such talent and skill gone much too soon. Easy to arm chair comment on another persons life isn't it? Many of us can relate to Elvis's story . I for one have made many mistakes too with my life's choices. This was definitely a good video ElvisIsTheMan !

[@sequana92]

Elvis, lazy ?? Il a nourri sa famille et a chanté 3 concerts par jour non stop pendant des années ? en étant malade et exploité ? Qui d'autre ferait ça ?

[@thecoolcreativebuildchanne2613]

Really cool video David! I made another comment but I don't see it anymore. 😂 Elvis seemed to be really happy during that time! His hand was shaking... and his knees were weak!😂lol. Really awesome video David!!😃❤👍 I probably accidentally deleted my other comment. 😄

[@martyduncan2636]

David, this video is excellent…likely your best IMO. You make so many valid points. Elvis DID prosper when he followed HIS intuition and personal inclinations. The Colonel WAS self serving and focused on himself…he indeed, as all true Elvis fans know, Parker was an undocumented immigrant and if he ever left the U.S. could not get back in. Sadly the Colonel inflicted his illegal status predicament onto Elvis and impeded and hindered Elvis’s growth throughout the late ‘60s and certainly the 1970s. That said, the audio from the early August performances at the Intentional Hotel in Vegas is simply stunning and fabulous to hear! A year later, although also spell binding and incredible, we see Elvis as the undisputed “King” in the MGM documentary TTWII. In early August of ‘69 Elvis worked hard to restore and reestablish himself and his relevancy for a new generation. Thanks so much for uploading these great film clips and audio from ‘69. I have many of the ‘69 FTD CDs, but I clearly need to purchase one more! 😂

[@ElvisistheMan_]

Thanks man I’m glad to hear you like this video so much! Although every year and Elvis‘s life was an interesting one, this one was especially. Like you said, Elvis was working hard to reestablish himself in the music business and be relevant again. He did that, and this story is just a few pieces to that puzzle in 1969 ⚡️

Performing made a Elvis so happy, all the way to the end of his life. He had a manager who cruelly kept him from reaching his full potential, a supposed “fairy tale” marriage that was actually horrible, and many of his friends and family were just out for what they could get from him. His mother, Lisa Marie, and his work were the loves of his life. It’s so good to see him enjoying himself here.

Come on man, the Colonel was absolutely right, the security for Elvis outside of America would have been impossible back then. Can you imagine trying to control the crowds who would turn up at any airport in the world where Elvis landed? I remember when the Beatles came to Melbourne in the 1960s, it was chaos. With Elvis it would have been 100 times worse. There was no venue back then big enough to handle Elvis. The Beatles played in a stadium holding 2000 fans in Melbourne. That would not have been enough for Elvis. Now in 2023 we have much larger venues, but even they wouldn't have been big enough to handle the number of people who would have travelled from all around Australia and New Zealand to see him.

Hey, I just found the recording of "What I'd Say" from August 2, 1969 (at least the guy who posted it claims it to be from August 2). It has much worse sound quality, but it's slightly different than the version recorded the next day. I've never heard Elvis singing this song with such passion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpavqXyJatRlabc

I believe what Sonny West said, that the Col. didn't want Elvis to go overseas because there was no safe way to handle carrying all the drugs and guns. If Elvis would've been busted with all the drugs and/or guns, his image would've taken a huge hit. He might have been arrested for it and the Col. and Elvis refused to take the chance. Could you imagine if Elvis was arrested for drugs? We have to remember Elvis was hooked hard by this time on the drugs and he always carried 3 or 4 pistols. Elvis and the Col. both knew he (Elvis) would not be able to go overseas without the drugs. Elvis wanted to go to Europe but he was okay with not going because of these two reasons. This is sad but it's true. Elvis was the most powerful entertainer there has ever been, and he was his own man, if Elvis thought he could've gotten around the drugs and guns he would've gone, Col or nobody else would've stopped him. Elvis knew as long as he was hooked on the drugs that he was not playing Europe. He blamed it the Col. and the Col. gladly took the bullet for it but it was not the Col.'s fault.

Maybe they could’ve said that they were for the whole group and Dr. nick could’ve said Elvis had 47 ailments? Lol Because u knew Dr.Nick would have covered for him. he even went to trial and said Elvis needed them and there were reasons for them.

I believe that we will never know the exact reasons for Elvis not leaving the country, all we can do is to speculate. Although you have made a very good and reasonable explanation for another cause to be thrown in the mix! That makes me wonder then, how did he travel to Hawaii with drugs and guns? Was it just simpler to go into Hawaii from the mainland as opposed to another country. You are right about the reasoning though, Elvis getting caught with drugs and guns probably would have been a terrible blow to his career and also to Elvis the man himself.

@@donnap.c.886 Going to Hawaii, he did not have to go through Customs but going to a foreign country brings in a whole new level of security. Nobody is checking Elvis' bags or luggage if he travels within the USA. He never left the USA after he got hooked on drugs, not even to Canada. He never even tried to leave the USA, even on a vacation. Arguably the most powerful man and one of the richest doesn't even go on a vacation to a foreign country, ever. That right there tells you that I'm dead on as to the reason Elvis never played Europe, Japan, Australia or any other foreign country. It's not speculation anymore, the Memphis Mafia has said it's the true reason. He could've tried and been successful but if he got caught, oh boy. Elvis thought it was too big of a risk when he didn't need to. The Col. also didn't get 50% of Elvis' earnings, that is a myth. Col. got 50% of the Merchandise that he had made and sold but the music and the concerts the Col. did not get 50%. The 50% thing didn't even come up until Elvis fell in the shower and had a concussion for over 2 weeks and Billy Smith stayed with Elvis in Elvis' bedroom for 2 weeks. This was late 66, early 67, a little before his wedding. I'm not a Col. fan but he gets a lot of blame for Elvis' mistakes and problems. Elvis did what he wanted to do, nobody made him do anything. Elvis didn't let anybody take advantage of him. Elvis Would've fired the Col. in a second if he thought the Col. was taking advantage of him.

@@ElvisistheMan_ Yeah but Dr. Nick was trying to cover his tail. Dr. Nick wrote prescriptions for 10'000 pills for one year, I think it was 1976. That is 29 pills a day I believe it came out to. As far as never playing in a foreign country and people blaming the Col. for it. Ask yourself this question. How is it that Elvis being the most powerful man in the world and one of the richest never even went on a vacation outside of the USA after he got hooked on drugs (Army). After returning from the Army in 1960, Elvis never ever left the USA. He didn't want to take the risk. This tells you that my reasons for him never playing in a foreign country is dead on. Sonny said the Col. told him this and the MM knew it was true too. They thought they could pull it off but Elvis was just too worried to try it. I mean Elvis never saw anywhere outside of America after 1960 and he would fly to Denver to get a sandwich, so you got to know I'm right about these reasons (Drugs and Guns). Take Care

Another example of how stupid the Colonel was he never had high quality filming of all the Vegas shows done. Only a few films of the shows exist.

[@ElvisistheMan_]

Exactly

[@alexcarratu5554]

Big lost opportunity in music history is Elvis not performing around the world. One can only imagine what it'd have been like if he had. Stupid Colonel.

[@bobbiemoore1745]

Tom kept Elvis from going places he dreamed to seeing. Elvis should of let Tom Parker go. Tom got more than his share off of Elvis all that gambling. Making Elvis put on 2 shows a night to keep Parking in the gambling an he lost a lot of money. He used Elvis is what i alway thought. He worked him too much ,when Elvis really needed a break. I miss Elvis an wish he'd took better care of himself
