HURT - ELVIS PRESLEY (1977) - REACTION VIDEO

[@leehalcrow6221]

Did you notice Charlie hodge reaction when Elvis hits the last note ! Brilliant ELVIS the KING

[@ArcaneWeasel]

Yes, I did. Charlie was a true friend to Elvis which he proved time after time.

[@ErichH68]

I read that Elvis’s ability to WoW an audience wasn’t lost on his on stage band either. They too were mesmerized by him.

[@ewilliams2268]

I have seen this video so many times,but never noticed the thriller Charlie showed for Elvis in hitting that note. WOW!!

[@mattvanpell2909]

Yep

[@mclendonracing8244]

It's like Charlie was his number one cheerleader.

[@FollowerofChrist11]

I've said it before but I'll say it again it's sad to watch this but I love this song. And he never lost the power in his voice.

[@cdnsilverdaddy]

its unreal but his voice actually gotten even more powerful

[@marvinbraynen2877]

Yes it's sad and what makes it sad even more that's the year he died on I no he is gone but I was one who really was waiting for him to com back it's crazy hey to be a fan and to still wait to see if he is coming back but I no he is gone but his songs will forever live on Elvis Aaron Presley the greatest ever

[@ignaciogalvan1732]

I agree his body must have been givingway but his god-given vocal was never denied

[@JohnnyXoz]

Elvis's life and talent touched so many people's hearts like no other. It's sad to see how sick he was at the end. His mother Gladys suffered her own health problems and died at 46 and I believe Elvis was afflicted with underlying issues. Elvis gave the world his love and his immense talent in every performance. He will always be remembered.

[@RobWinfield]

He will always be the King however he never ever liked that title he stated only Jesus Christ is King ..so great job again you are a breath of fresh air God Bless you.

[@kathyharze4308]

I always find it so heartbreaking to see him like that but he still had his humour incredible smile and that awesome voice never failed him stay safe 😷😭✌

[@TheLuckyman1999]

Elvis was one of a kind Dani I am so glad you know just how special Elvis truly was. There will never be another Elvis! Elvis would be proud of you!

[@jeffstewart9992]

Dani, I agree with you, even though he was in terrible shape, the voice was still there. I have mixed emotions about this performance, he gave his all In this performance, but it makes me sad that he was gone around 6 weeks after this performance. He was definitely one of a kind.

[@BigRed-Heron]

Elvis is definitely the chosen voice in all music past ,present,and future!! Can I get an AMEN!

[@kenhayes5759]

Amen

[@chrisellsworth9]

Nobody comes close to this man.

[@careyfaulkner7293]

Great reaction...his voice was just the best...I always liked this clip at the end...u can see charlie hodge's reaction behind Elvis when he stretched his voice...u know charlie was thinkin wow he nailed it once again....keep up the great videos

[@cliffkelley6550]

With the exception of Hawaii concert, most concerts as Charlie put the guitar around Elvis' neck Elvis would move the guitar to hit Charlie. Just a fun thing they did on stage.

[@rogerlowery6549]

Nice one my friend! He performed this in June of 1977 when I saw him live and his voice was incredible! Always remember it forever! Congrats on 4,000! Much success and peace to you.

[@joelepera312]

Thanks for doing that song. The reason he is the best no one had a voice like Elvis any genre anytime anywhere Elvis always gave his heart in his music. Thank you for keeping him and his music alive TCB as his friend George Klien used to say "Their have been 45 Presidents and only one King " Keep on rockin

[@bluebuddy46422]

Hurts me so much seeing him so obviously Ill.. Knowing that these were his last performances..

[@rookmaster7502]

He performed that song like he was singing for his dear life!

[@soxfan]

also, unchained melody.

[@annetteg9790]

Love the song Hurt so much. But it really HURT to see him look so sick

[@vickiatkins9061]

Elvis. Was so so so so. Natural of what he did. A God given talent. You should see when he was in Pitts pa. He layed down on the stage. On his back. In. 1976. New ywars eve and belted that out. Not once. But twice. It was. Mind blowing. Unbelievable. But. The tiger man. Did it. And he did it. GREAT. Standing ovation. On that one. He was so so so. Loved loved loved loved. From. The fifties. Until. Now. He owned that stage when he walks out on it. The. He plugs into the audience. And it is pure raw. 1000000 volts. Of electricity. The mold was broke. Never ever be another. Ain't gonna happen. He loved what he did. And. Did. What he loved. So so so so. Sweet southern humbled soul. He did love God. From. Baby. Up. Gladys. Taught him. The. Way. God bless. Be safe. And. Keep TCB. Girl. You can learn a lot. From. Elvis.

[@Mike583]

What's up with all the periods after every other word???

[@lechat8533]

You are an Angel! I`m in tears... He was so unwell, and because he was so hurt, he gave his everything. Thank you.

[@andelgado7318]

And to think the king of rock’s life ended 6 weeks after this great performance. Just breaks my heart

[@barryyoung969]

Picasso called that, “Leaving your body outside the room” as an artist, as Picasso aged it was more difficult for him to get on scaffolds and to lay on the floor to create his art. So when he was asked “how do you do still do this?” he just simply answered, “I leave my body outside the room”

[@ignaciogalvan1732]

A true thing he was a king 👑 rest in peace Lisa Marie

[@sherylmcclure400]

I just love Elvis he still had that beautiful smile sense of humor chrasima stage presence and that strong and powerful voice just gives me chills and I can feel it in my heart and soul

[@theyorkshireguy829]

Wow! The power of that man's voice just blows you away. His health and appearance may have changed over the years, but lordy lordy that performance just sent shivers up my spine. INCREDIBLE!

[@mexicanfries5336]

Elvis Presley could always dig deep within his being not just to do justice to the lyrics of a song but with Hurt he puts so much emphasis on his vocal prowess to pay homage to his favourite singer the great Roy Hamilton. Roy Hamilton had a hit with "Hurt" in the 1950s when Elvis Presley lived in Lauderdale Courts. Elvis Presley was thrilled to meet Roy Hamilton at American Studios, Memphis in 1969. So much did Elvis Presley love, admire and respect Roy Hamilton that he presented him with a song that he himself was going to record that night. Roy Hamilton died later in 1969. Give ear to Roy Hamilton's "You Can Have Her" and you will hear Roy's influence on Elvis Presley.

[@williamthornell8051]

God said there must be a king on Earth of rock and roll. And he proclaimed Elvis the king of rock and roll. Elvis filled those shoes. What a beautiful, beautiful voice. I miss him so to this day.

[@ignaciogalvan1732]

Wow!!! To have been in that audience. And not knowing he is going away quick. A masterful voice. Someone who is hated by his own race in the beginning. Risking his very life in the 50s for growing up in a black folks life and not giving a f***who did not like it but stay true to it till the end. Soulful soulful soulful. We cannot ask them anymore but Al Green b.b. King James Brown everybody of that professed to that he was not a copy he was the real deal. The true exponent and creator of rock and roll regardless of Chuck Berry and everybody else. It takes three colors to make blue Chuck Berry and everybody else would those colors but he is the blue that came out of it all colors up in once and unmatched voice he had. What a man

[@luckyflu0706]

Yes his health wasn't great but nobody comes close to hitting that note except for an opera singer

[@sshelget]

I know! When he hits that note, it always makes my stomach flutter.

[@peterdowney1492]

It's not just hitting it, it's what you do with it. Have a look at some opera singers and they can hit a note but it lacks something, with others it's wonderful. And this has that something.

[@jimmieminiard3839]

Elvis to gave 110% to ever concert ,he 150 a year each concert was a sellout . Elvis once said to his band ,each concert he perform Elvis would treat as his first time. .He loved his fans and his fans loved Elvis.

[@charlescarter8546]

You are so authentic in your reviews. It's obvious how music runs through you and makes you feel different emotions. I hope you keep the Elvis reactions going for a long time. Thank you, Dani. Thank you very much!

[@stephenhanft1226]

Hi Dani, It is great to see someone in your age group as such a passionate Elvis fan and oldies fan. I'm in my mid-50's and my favorite musical time-frame is the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, amd 1980s. I believe the greatest songs of all-time plus the greatest singers and singing groups of all-time were from those four decades. I am also a lifelong Elvis Presley fan. I have always said that Elvis is, was, and will always be The King of Rock and Roll. Elvis was the greatest singer that the Rock Era ever produced. So far, you have done an excellent job doing reaction videos to many of the Elvis great singing performances. I have several more Elvis song suggestions that I would love to see you react to. Those songs are, "Can't Help Falling in Love", "Memories", "The Wonder of You", "Burning Love", and "Jailhouse Rock". Elvis has classic performances of all of those songs and are easy to find on youtube. Love your channel.

[@billmitchell7731]

Pure raw beautiful power, till the end. I'm happy his voice never failed him. I dont beleive he would of handled that very well.

[@marnernordendal3927]

Elvis loved his fans, and always gave his all in his performances. You are right, Dani. He was put here to sing! And sing, he did, til the end.

Dani I remember hearing Elvis sing this song via a record in 1977 when I was serving in Alaska in the Air Force, it still brings chill to me here in 2023. I do not think I will ever see another Elvis Presley in my lifetime!! Thank You for your reaction, your face said it all!!! And you were spot on with your comments!! Your earned a sub from me!!

[@poetgb]

This is a sweet and emotional reaction by you as you react to the song and performance. You are right that Elvis' health was failing and yet he still sings with such power that he reaches operatic heights. He could sing any type of song. You are right that Elvis' purpose on earth was to touch people's lives through music. I got a little emotional myself watching this video. Great job.

[@davidhallsted695]

What an amazing man! Celebrity made him, but killed him. He was a prisoner of his never equaled greatness!

[@ronaldholmes5009]

I remember them showing this footage shortly after Elvis died and it shocked the hell out of me. Anyone with eyes could plainly see that something was very wrong with this man. He still had the voice, but this was NOT the Elvis that I grew up with. And to know that he was only 42 years old there. At the time of his death most everyone accepted the version that the media was giving---that he died of a heart attack and most of his fans had no idea that he was into drugs to the extent that he was. That all came out later. He may have indeed died of a heart attack, but there's not much doubt that drugs contributed to his death in a very big way. Considering how much Elvis was into drugs, it's very surprising that he didn't die a lot sooner than he did. But it was only a matter of time, and shortly after this concert he did succumb to his abuse of drugs. It's sad and it didn't have to happen. Elvis had so much more to give and do. Isn't drug use a WONDERFUL thing? It must be, because so many are still doing them...Will they NEVER learn?

[@jennywren7822]

Whats really so heartbreaking is at the beginning on the Ed Sullivan shows, he was so innocent, not knowing what the future would hold. His fame and the prescription drugs to cope with it killed him in the end. LONG LIVE THE KING ❤

[@marshag9360]

Perfect reaction to this song. Good job Dani. Elvis always gave his all for his fans.

[@johnrichards1019]

[@dalem8332]

Elvis was THE BEST. Simple as that. He gave 100 percent right up to the end. I grew up with Elvis constantly playing in my house in the sixties because my older brother was a huge fan and had all his albums. He used to take me to see Elvis movies in the Sixties when l was only 7, 8 ,9 years old. So l grew up loving Elvis and his music. He has always been a huge part of my life. I remember watching the 1968 TV Special when l was 12 years old just mesmerized! I remember exactly where l was when l heard the news in 1977 that Elvis had passed away. Such a sad sad day. I'm 64 years old now..an old fella... and Elvis is and always will be simply THE BEST there ever was in my opinion. ♥️♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦

Dani, you are doing great. Glad you saw this. So you know, there are versions that are better than this. Many versions from 1976 where he goes higher and unbelievably does the end twice. A once in a lifetime talent. His vocals are unexplainable. How he even approaches notes like that as a rock type singer is not normal. Truly a gift that was sold out for money 💰.

[@TiptronicSS]

Blows my mind how he does this, especially in that painful state.. god bless him

[@georgelawson6972]

I know, I can hear my father telling me (" man up ") even though I'm 35...but anytime I hear Elvis in 1977 your head takes you to that oh so obvious place of just how little time he had left. 20 / 20 hindsight it's a wonderful thing. I try looking at the positive side, Elvis was given this incredible, fantastic, wonderful, gift, but he was also given the 2nd and more important gift to stay not just humble, but also modesty too, never arrogant. He Never spoke of the work he did for many many charities, He built homes in what he described ( as ghettos ) he spent a lot of time in those very ghettos growing up. Hence gospel and in some ways ( Black Music ) was in his roots .. His poor upbringing, the ghettos would have been a step up for him.. True story he once watch an elderly black couple struggling with their shopping bags and how they had to keep stopping, so Elvis pulled alongside them and put the groceries in his trunk and drove them home and helped unpack the groceries. Elvis then asked a very weird question if he could use the couples phone. Of course they agreed and and after some coffee and snacks. Someone showed up to collect Elvis, because he gave the couple the new Cadillac that he had driven them home in...

[@Elvis68spec]

Elvis' natural ability was 100% intact to the very end! Excellent observation!

[@alexisortiz6777]

ELVIS the KING

[@stevew7692]

That TV special should never of happened.... With the benefit of hindsight we know how ill Elvis was at that time but the colonel was milking his cash cow, and he must of known how ill Elvis was, yet again.... Regardless of how he looked we do get alot of songs where Elvis' voice puts him way above other rock/pop stars and been able to hear those vocals is something I'm grateful for. However at the same time I can't help but wonder with sadness how Elvis was feeling... He was overweight, he had glaucoma, he had insomnia, an addiction to prescribed drugs and alot of things going on inside his mind and body that no one was really aware of....imagine going in front of the TV cameras looking how he did... Imagine how Elvis was feeling about that and the press comments... Remember this was a time before Betty Ford clinics etc....1977 shud of been a year of rest and getting his health back but we know what happened..... Its a tragedy that non Elvis fans see him as a 50s rock and roll singer who went to make alot of cheesy movies and then went to Vegas and became fat and died of drugs.... What they are missing out on is everything else..... The 3 decades Elvis was entertaining us there was far more amazing content in those years than negative stuff but unfortunately tabloids like to focus on the downside.....thanks Elvis and thanks Dani for ur heartfelt comments.
