First Reaction to Elvis! "Jailhouse Rock '68 Special" Live

[@MacMc691]

Elvis was one of those rare performers that was better live than on record. In addition to his singing, he had every crowd enthralled with what he was doing onstage. Keep going, you're going find a lot of great music.

[@bradhuskers]

Wrong .he was very good live However, his critically acclaimed recordings are REVELATORY and innovative. You are ignorant

[@MacMc691]

@@bradhuskers Triggered from a post that was made seven months ago, fascinating.

​@MacMc691 Your IQ level hasn't changed at all, it's still very low. 😆🤣😂

[@kathyharze760]

Elvis was greatest performer ever he sounded great live plus looking at him what a joy thank you Just pretend and Walk a mile in my shoes are 2 great songs to be honest list is endless thank you great reaction as always 😀

[@erlindamartinez8521]

Thank you for reacting to the KING. love your reaction. More please 💕💕💕💕

[@pauldark3044]

Great reaction! Think he did this in 68 and nobody still has been able to replicate what he did! Entertainment with a big E

[@michaellawliss3049]

Absolutely enjoy your Elvis reactions!! God bless my dear!! 🙏♥️💋

[@randalldeetz8659]

Great reaction! One of my favorites is 'I Just Can't Help Believing'.

[@gailshepard-cook6350]

I hope You can find Elvis doing this one; It has the Props & Him and Other Men doing this Song & WOW the Dancing is Just WOW. It's here on YT somewhere.

[@jagerbradley]

Young Dreams!!! Elvis did movies, and he sang for them too! Very underrated!!!!

[@stevedurnell4002]

He always gave it all he had on stage performing too please all his fans his voice was an miracle.

[@juliebarrows8149]

I strongly encourage you to continue going on down the Elvis rabbit hole. It is well worth your time! And it’s FUN!!!

[@benjamins.5428]

This is just the beginning.. Elvis journey is timeless. Please react to Elvis " like a bridge over troubled water".

[@paulasmith3179]

The best looking man i've ever seen. Love Elvis, thank you

[@MrDarkness4]

I love watching you react to the King Elvis Presley I hope to see more of him on the channel

[@RobertNorthrop]

Thank you for reacting to Elvis! I love your appreciation. I can't recommend enough the following (all from 1970 Vegas shows): 1) Bridge Over Troubled Water 2) Polk Salad Annie 3) Just Pretend Not only is Elvis in top form, but his band and back up singers are outstanding.

[@thereckoner30]

The vocals on just pretend are amazing

[@MigdaliaTomalinas-os2nz]

The whole 68 special was fantastic. One of my favorites from this special is Trying to get to you. Close up and dreamy. Must watch. Love Elvis for ever.❤

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I forgot how much this actually rocks. This great. Thanks for doing this. I love the look in your eyes when you're looking at elvis, it just is wonderful.

[@james2011cup]

if you want a real tear jerker that is so full of emotion, i highly recommend "just pretend" live 1970

[@aprilnewsome1932]

Just pretend and bridge over troubled water is my favorites

[@greggsmith6051]

Thank you for your interest and enthusiasm for Elvis and his work. Love your show!!

[@LalinGP]

The eternal and mythical Elvis. This outfit is the one that Angelina Jordan (AJ) wears in "Suspicious Minds", in her tribute to Elvis. On that occasion Elvis uses the mythical red guitar that AJ also incorporates along with Priscilla's hairstyle. Evidently a scene created by his grandmother Mery from whom AJ received all his art and creativity. She is the genius behind the scenes.

[@greggsmith6051]

Love your show Carly, keep em coming !!!

[@verticalmaster]

Loving your journey through Elvis! There’s so much to see! Keep it up! This is such a great performance - absolutely legendary). You need to watch the new film! Another recommendation- watch American trilogy (aloha from Hawaii). Such a timeless song and elvis delivers a phenomenal performance !

[@AngelasJoys]

"Bridge Over Troubled Waters," 1970 I think is great. Someone already said it, Elvis is fantastic live. I'm a fan over 60 years and I watch live performances over and over. "Pledging My Love" is great but no video. The thing about Elvis was his voice got better and better. Even when he became ill, his voice was great. Then there's the Elvis smile. Rare to find a song where he doesn't smile at least once. I never get tired of him.

[@randyhanson9441]

I suggest going off the deep end and back to the origins. Numerous clips of Elvis on the Ed Sullivan Show. Hound Dog from 1956 shows why the earliest performances only filmed Elvis from the waist up. By the October '56 appearance showed the dance moves. As they said in the 50's, "You'll Flip Your Lid"

[@Gail19533]

I remember watching this on TV and then I got to watch his live on TV from Hawaii! Yes I am old lol I am 70 and I was raised on his music ! I loved him then and I still love him so much ! I have albums,cassette and CDs of his music ! I even have movies of his concerts and all the movies he did ! So the only thing I didn’t get to do was see this beautiful man in person ! Thank you for keeping his music alive ❤❤❤

[@SheaWhatNow]

I wish I could do more but KZbin started hitting me with copyright strikes so I can't do anymore Elvis videos. It makes me very sad. I am glad you liked this one though! ❤️

[@Gail19533]

@@SheaWhatNow I am so sorry they did that to you ! But it will all work out friend

[@jeffreyjohn1691]

I love your reactions

[@michaelmelendez4869]

Iike your reactions to the king, his voice is God given, if you want a history lesson on him, check out Elvis and the black community, and any of his songs from the aloha concert which he was the first to ever have a concert that was beamed satellite to over 40 countries.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I can't remember if you've done it yet but man from this middle segment of the 1968 television special, you've got to check out Trying To Get To You, and several others where they're juzst sitting around with this old band and they didn't have a chance to rehearse and they're basically just front porch jamming and it's hilarious.

[@idawheat1333]

To really appreciate this song you got to see the original video 1957 when he showed off

[@rynooosth]

Thanks Carlie the King

[@ralphkern380]

The roots of R'n'R ... we can't know exactly where we are until we look back at where we came from.

[@waynecoker7129]

you should do the jail house rock in his movie ! a loy of dances ! thank you !

[@stephenmalzard2053]

I recommend listening to Any Day now from the Album from Elvis In Memphis it's a must 🥰

[@DanielFrost21]

Carlie, I highly recommend watching Elvis' cover of "Bridge Over Troubled Water".

[@שבתשלום-ט2ת]

One night with you 68 comeback special!!

[@johnbattles1002]

Shea, great fun reaction! You should really, really, really go back about 11 years (1957) and react to Elvis singing this in his third movie, the title of which is the same name "Jailhouse Rock." It's amazing, and it's said that Elvis insisted on doing the choreography himself of him and his fellow performers! Then, also watch him sing it on the Ed Sullivan Show that same year. The audience goes wild!

[@davidcohen7146]

Keep the Elvis reactions coming. I reccomend you react to Just Pretend and How Great Thou Art Live from 72.

[@martinoliver5325]

Great your geting into elvis, a few for yoh to try are, my way, american trilogy both from the aloha from hawaii concert, you have to do bridge over troubled water live, and, you lost that loving feeling, live too, keep them coming oh and suspicious minds live too and just pretend 🕺🇬🇧

[@Anne6621]

i remember watching this like it was yesterday and my Mom never liked Elvis and then after this show she said i change my mind and then the following year i went to the movies to see A Change of Habit and my mom said do you mind if i go with you !!

[@Coolrockndad]

You need to react to the 1957 black and white movie version of this tune which is considered to be the first music video.

[@texasgirl6000]

Loved your reaction, still waiting patiently for you to react to Elvis singing " young dreams".from the movie king creole.

[@johntynio3416]

You're learning! Thanks Carlie!

[@MrStockholm1]

best forever

[@MrRizzo1961]

You have to do his Love me tender live performance in Las Vegas 1970 ✌️❤️

[@philpotts3893]

Greatest cut of Jailhouse

[@christineoneal]

FYI, check your local tv listings for your PBS schedule. They have been playing the 68 Comeback Special on March 2.

[@McMahonHater]

The stand-up version of Heartbreak Hotel is pretty awesome. It has a real hard rock vibe to it.

[@brendanpelly213]

😅🤣 I subscribed just to watch you go down this Elvis trip and watch you fall in love with him... you little groupie 🤣🤣🤣 Awesome lol 🤗😆😊🤘

[@tammyhildreth8242]

You have to do bridge over troubled water 1970. His voice is so good.

[@Spectre2434]

He's like a superhero

[@richardhensley9754]

You have to remember who is back up singer's we're. It was the Sweet inspirations with Whitney Houston's mom (sissy Houston) as one of the 3 black girls. Whitney stayed at Elvis's house with Lisa marie when there parents were out on tour. I have over a 1000 photos of Elvis that I took both on tour and at his home in Memphis. A back yard barbecue, him riding a horse and shooting guns in his 13 acre backyard.So many memories.

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

why is it important that you feel the need to mention the sweet inspirations?

[@cindyphifer970]

Elvis always my favorite. You should check out his original Jailhouse Rock video from his movie

[@minneyruth]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@stevedurnell4002]

Elvis Presley was the very first rock star too own an mansion an jet plane and the first millionaire too in rockin rock music.

[@davidgibbs7232]

Nobody does it better than this.👑

[@davidmunson3072]

David So good to see and hear your first impressions of the King. Please watch King Creole. He was very young but really stole the show. Songs to listen and with videos; " Trouble, Mean Woman Blues, Dixieland Rock." This was his best movie according to the critics.

[@joanmatthews2570]

React to My Way, and react to Jailhouse Rock from his movie in the 50's. Early Elvis is a real treat

[@rodniederschuh5524]

You’re doing a great job I’m enjoying your reactions you wanna do suspicious minds 1970 Vegas next period or Polk salad Annie Vegas as well

[@martic51]

One of my favorites he did was Kentucky Rain…

[@Judy0910]

I was 17 in 1968, and the 68 special was a really big deal. I could barely contain myself. I wanted to jump up and scream.

[@JWest792]

@SheaWhatNow You Should Checkout Austin Butler's Recreation Of Elvis Presley's 68 Comeback Special!

[@williambrown828]

Elvis paved the way for all that followed. Also first one use drums with band

[@richardhensley9754]

Saw "E" in 1970 1971 1973 1975 in Dayton oh twice ,Cincinnati once and Ft. Wayne Ind. In 1970 the ticket was $5 the last ticket was $12. I have seen Micheal Jackson. Prince, Garth Brooks 3 times nobody no body can hold a candle to the King. It is really hard to describe what it was like being in an audience when he came walking out. The sound of 20,000 people ( men and women) was almost ear shattering. I still have my ticket stubs and own a very rare one sided 78 with 4 of Elvis's songs on one side. One in 10 billion too bad he killed himself. I'm 68 and I still cry.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

I would suggest Trying to get to you and If I can dream both from the comeback special 😊

[@Kagawongdog1]

She has done If I can Dream already

You are right

[@dranet47]

Wooden Heart. You get to hear him sing in German!

[@jaredhowe2847]

Please watch Elvis, Bridge Over Troubled Water, 1970 Las Vegas. Paul Simon said this was by far the best cover ever of Bridge Over Trouubledd Water. I'd like your reaction. Elvis can really sing!

[@anne-louisegoldie]

Have you watched his early movies? Jailhouse Rock is a great movie, all the first few films are fab. He can act! Sadly he got stuck in the studio formula that he was under contract to and the scripts aren't very challenging for him by the last few movies. But he looks and sounds gorgeous in every one, you will be glued to your screen. Promise! 😊xx

[@Jeri_C11]

He was cool 😎 before cool was out. 😊❤❤

[@jonpalmer7262]

I would suggest you react to the 1970 Vegas performance of Love Me Tender You'll get a kick out of it.

[@marieb9690]

😻😻😻😻😻😻😻

[@ORagnar]

Jailhouse Rock is quintessential 1950s rock and roll, although this is Elvis' 1968 special. 1.o0

[@williambrown828]

He also the first to use drums in a band

[@MrAlanfalk73]

Could you react to the song that got him in trouble All over the country, Hound dog. You should get the version from the Milton Bearle show, and the unredacted one (there is one where they cut of the song to early). Priest were calling him the devil, radios refused to play rock n roll and parents forbid their children listening to him after that tv show !

[@kimberlyruiz824]

In order to appreciate the later stuff please watch his 50s television performances.

[@dorothygreene3038]

Steamroller Blues {Aloha 1973 } I washed my hands in Muddy water

[@gregleblanc9357]

Loved that whole 68 come back special. You should watch the whole thing continuously instead of just clips from it. It's way better. Maybe after watching all the clips you can sit down and watch the whole thing.

[@chide7260]

Polk Salad Annie and Suspicious mind live vegas 70 for sure!

[@armandonieves1277]

check out the Gospel Production Number (‘68 Comeback Special )

[@mrroboto4909]

The older suspicious minds is a million times better in Vegas its a must seeeè

[@kkuster1]

the last time in his career he didn't come off as a joke. In reality, after 1958 it was over. He was a shell of himself. Blame his manager and family.

[@williamronneywilliams2639]

Suspicious minds live is one you should react too

[@PBobinAustin]

Do you want to combine your Elvis streak with your Geoff Castellucci songs? Geoff did a cover of Elvis called Way Down. I think you'll like it.

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

did he do a cover of the song or did he do a cover of Elvis?

2:27: He's laughing because his voice cracked on "everybody".

[@ivansavoie3190]

You should check out his Jailhouse Rock from the movie

[@catwhisperer9489]

Oh, bummer.... Basically, you can't go wrong, with Elvis; BUT, you're not picking the best performances. Not a dig, really, because I'm enjoying your reactions, but ask whomever requests the song, for which performance is the best. So glad you've found Elvis, and seem to be truly appreciating him! ❤️

[@davidburns7085]

You should watch some of his movies. Kid Galahad is fun.

Personally - I think you should have watched the Movie Clip version -- with a 22 year old Elvis - just my humble opinion.
