Rare footage of Elvis July 19th, 1975 | Famous “Eye lift” details

Everybody changes physically as they hit forty-plus. I thought Elvis looked wonderful at the Aloha from Hawaii 1973. I watched that satellite concert live in New Zealand & his performance was just magical. In the following years, he did gain weight, but to me he still looked great & his voice was unmatched, & still is to this day.

[@BloxyTiger.]

Something I find very intresting as someone who collects footage, is that the entirety of May - July 1975 has basically NO footage available, other than the Richfield and Uniondale shows! These 3 shows all have more than 5 angles available! A richfield multicam runs for more than 57 minutes!! These uniondale angles are also facinating as they capture some of Elvis' best shows, and even with more than 6 angles I cant get enough!! One of the BEST ever fan films IMO was CONFASCATED after the show by a guard named Tom Thompsom who kept it for himself!! Its shot from ground level and all thats available is a short, bad quality video of a screen displaying it

[@ElvisistheMan_]

That would be interesting to see that particular footage! I’m so glad at least these shelves were filmed. I’m sure the others were as well. We just don’t have them as of yet.

Interesting video, the video you have playing at the end I don't know if you saw it, but when Elvis was singing he let out a tear. There's something about seeing him cry on stage It's just so beautiful like he really felt the music. Also I really like these suits as well I feel like not a lot of people like them.

At the time, I never knew Elvis had an eye lift. But I never cared for those jumpsuits especially the chicken bone I saw him in my hometown and 76 wearing the gypsy outfit And he put on a great show Mr. song, man and trouble I’ve always been two of my favorite songs from Elvis He never lost any appeal to me whatsoever during his lifetime TCB ⚡️🏎️🏁💥💥💥

[@keetonplace]

The more this site promotes Elvis as "fat" and continuously shows him in these outfits he wore that make him look even more bloated, the more it's SPREAD AROUND on all social media. I see it every time I'm on X and other places. In his 42 years on earth, he was beautiful 40 of them. People won't give him a break for that. He was ill. Now there's a creep at X named Fat Elvis. They are mean! It hurts me!! That people continue like this amazes me if you're an Elvis fan. He never weighed ANYWHERE NEAR 350. Well over a hundred pounds less in the last year.. But it goes on again at this place. Supposed Elvis fans create a place on KZbin and proceed to stick in often these demonstrably unkind things. I wonder if secretly they hate him. I lived it at all phases and saw him during the ones from '69 on. Never did I see him look bad but ONCE, in my city, August '76. Then saw him Dec. same year and he had improved greatly. Bloat down as bloat does. Though he didn't look well. I just ran past this and had to speak up once again. My heart is with Elvis. I like him shown as he would have wished, or as I would wish my father to be shown after they are dead. Of course pictures should be shown in the last 2 years, but I've seen 30,000 and you can sure pick and choose the better looking ones. That is if you care what Elvis himself, or his daughter might want. Elvis was magnificent.

I love the 73 shows and loved those suits....the 75 shows were also good but not so keen on the outfits.....when I look at Elvis in 75/6/7 and I look at other bands at the time there shows tbf were pretty boring....not many great vocalists, some good musicians but they were usually off their face on hard drugs or they were drunk but with them that seems to be accepted and the norm but with Elvis, because he didn't look like 68-70 Elvis he was a figure to ridicule, regardless of what he was actually suffering from at the time....on any given day Elvis was always the superior vocalist and had charisma like no one else walking on a stage.

I saw Elvis at his last concert @ Madison Square Gardens in Indianapolis, IN in 1977

[@kn-qz7by]

I attended the evening show and remember thinking that the hair at the back of his head literally looked like a hood. I’m thinking it was blowdried (that was very popular for both males and females at the time) which really made it look huge.

[@ElvisistheMan_]

Haha

[@TheyCallTheSandman]

He wasn't guaranteed the spot in the charts anymore, as popular music back then was already slowly degrading into the trash culture we know today.

[@johnrider5701]

After the Madison square gardens show Elvis should have been out Las Vagas permanently and should have been focusing on a European tour at the very least.

[@brandonvandine1695]

I like his version of trouble in 75. It rocked. I also loved his recordings in that time span plus his voice. I feel he got some strength back. His performances were starting to not be impressive but was the last year he was probably a decent entertainer. Though he had some high moments in 76 that I liked and a few in 77. All in all he was still capable

Elvis looked good around this time due to his facelift surgery. 1975 was a pretty good year. I think he looked really good in the two piece suits in 1975.

Great video. “Spontaneity” is the right word and what separated Elvis from all the rockers of that time that barely acknowledged the audience. Rockwell (not an appropriate name!) who wrote that piece was a snob and obviously didn’t appreciate Elvis’s down to earth style. F him lol

[@jayceewaldner8505]

Yeah, his eyes were probably my favorite feature of his. I absolutely loved the “sleepy look”. When he didn’t look that good physically his eyes were always gorgeous. You could say a refuge for us in his lowest physical moments I guess😂 but when he did that surgery, after that from 76-77 maybe even 75 his eyes lost something. I can’t explain it but somehow they lost a breathtaking quality and his eyes didn’t really contain the beauty that they had before. He looked..well, let’s just say very bad in 76/77, in the close up photos of that era HIS EYES ARE NOT THE SAME. I obviously blame it on the surgery. Take for example the close ups from July 76, or the concerts from June 77. Some of you may know what I mean, others may not. But if you know you know. But I still absolutely love the dude❤❤

I thought that 1975 was a pretty good year for Elvis. .he had two good albums out that year. The trouble LP. And the promised land LP.. both had good songs on them.. I personally though that the. Singles trouble and promised land should have been higher on the charts.. Elvis song promised land and trouble quite a bit in concert in 1975.. also he done a good live version of. little darlin.and he done other rare songs like wooden heart pieces of my life . My boy.and a one time version of jambalaya.

I agree with you. He or It was going to the dog's for awhile. I recall the July 76 short where he mentioned, E was using the most powerful narcotics at this point in his life. It really bothered me because it seemed like to me that's all he was focused on and on and on... I then replied with, that he was a Degenerate! Since then it seems as though he might have backed off or chose other subjects?.... Its all for the love of, Elvis' 💖 legacy.
