This was EMOTIONAL.. Elvis Presley - Polk salad Annie Live (REACTION)

[@MigdaliaTomalinas-os2nz]

Elvis was having fun. He did spontaneous things to get reaction from his band and audience.

[@joanmatthews2570]

Fantastic a great vocalist and showman

[@lisaleonard9150]

Thanks again for your reaction, love your reaction, love Elvis I also love that there was no auto tuning, just pure talent

[@rong805]

You are spot on about Elvis and the band. He built the band piece by piece. He loved a big sound, and the band and singers could be so subtle and smooth, then BAM, EXPLOSION!! Elvis' greatest unspoken talents were production and arranging. He dictated everything that happened on stage. He would joke that with his moves, he felt like an old stripper, lol.

[@qso3566]

I saw Elvis in person for the first time in 1970 just a few months before this performance and it was a surreal experience ... he was incredible. I saw many shows over the next few years, the last being in March of 1977 (which was sad because he was in such bad shape). But this video that just reviewed is peak Elvis ... from 1968 to 1970, he was at his best. This was a great reaction, and your observations and comments are perceptive. Thanks for showcasing Elvis.

[@carolespinoza8469]

I saw 3 different concerts in Houston of Elvis ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥. I almost had a heart attack. He was awesome. 🎶🎶🎶🎶💞💞💞💞

You got it. You understand exactly what Elvis was with his band. He knew every note. I agree Elvis and MJ it doesn’t get any better than that

I love that you do Elvis I have stated that before I really appreciate it! However, in response to this comment I'm 71 I just could not like Michael Jackson. Music like art is in the eye of the beholder...😊

[@DonnaShafer-w5i]

As I started to watch your reaction, my appreciation for you as an individual accelerated. I am so pleased that you went back in time and watched Elvis and the black community. I don’t know if you’re aware that there are two parts look for part two. I’m subscribing to your channel only because of your Elvis reaction you seem like a genuinely nice young man and I’m a genuinely nice old lady lol but thank you so much. God bless you.

[@DonnaShafer-w5i]

How come I don’t see you anymore on KZbin nothing I look for you every day. I don’t know how to go on Patreon and all that other stuff. I just look forward to your KZbin reactions and every single day. I’m disappointed for the older folks. Can’t you just stay on KZbin and do Elvis reactions once in a while as older folks don’t know how to do all that other stuff. Ty I’ve missed you.

[@daggs3631]

Back in the 60's and 70's men wore suits and ladies got dressed when attending concerts. Everyone dressed very professional and totally different from today. Especially, in Las Vegas pre 1980's. It was a different time you need to review "Love Me Tender" Live 1970, it's from the same concert as "Suspicious Mind". Elvis played Las Vegas for 4 weeks starting in July 31, 1970 so you'll see a lot of Live Performances from that concert serious on KZbin. Elvis was most definitely one of the best artist to ever perform. That's why he's still popular 46 years after his death.

[@belinda35_77]

elvis first las vegas engagement was on july 31st 1969 he did 5 week engagements he worked 7 days a week for 5 weeks doing a dinner show, a midnight show & sometimes a 3rd 3:00am he did this everyday for five weeks when he was in vegas he did two 5 week engagements every year & in-between those 2 engagements he toured the country all the way up until his death

[@sharonvincent4238]

Elvis was very comfortable on stage; he loved his fans and performing. He sang many different kinds of music. Some times Elvis just acted silly and sometimes he changed the lyrics.

[@kerrypapworth1526]

This was such a wonderful reaction to the great man 🇦🇺

[@susaniserhoff9361]

Just love your reactions, you are so observative, he controlled his band as to the movements he makes while performing. This is why there is nobody today who can do what he did while still alive, except maybe a few of the Elvis impersonators.

[@theapavlou3030]

This is pure class. A filthy filthy song and Elvis is beyond channelling the music through his luscious body. He was freestyling, a very early form of beatboxing you could say lol. He invented the mic drop too in his rehearsals footage. He is on fire performing here, his sense of humour and his smutty side. Love his storytelling and subtle disguise of the real meaning of the words. Yes he's saying what you think, deep throating the mic tells you all you need to know. Her daddy and brothers were useless and Annie had to bring home the money & food... he was no saint but who could resist all that female attention. Look at him, just look he is such a tease ❤

[@matrix5000100]

@@theapavlou3030 I don't know that. The fact is that Elvis Presley continued to break audience records until the very end. There is a report from 1976 where it is written that Elvis Presley and Lep Zeppelin were the most successful artists in the USA (the largest market at the time). The Elvis concerts were sold out well after his death.

[@theapavlou3030]

@@matrix5000100 I've had a little look at stats but nothing concrete. I was arguing with an MJ fanatic about something and I wondered how many people Elvis had played ti in his lifetime. I asked google or co pilot and it threw out the number 10 million. I was going to try and estimate it tour by tour, manually but I don't know how. Considering his musical career only spanned 10 years that's an amazing statistic.

[@MMVDupont]

Really enjoying your reactions! I am a bit older than you but also too young to have grown up with Elvis. I always liked a few of his songs over the years but had a lot of stereotypes in mind, too. Then about a year or so ago I suddenly started to watch some of the videos of his performances and couldn't believe how much I had misjudged him and how much I had been missing out on. I now can't get enough of this guy and also am enjoying watching others on KZbin discover his talents etc. too so long after he died. Oh, one other thing: the Vegas crowd was a bit older and moneyed, on the whole, in Elvis's era there, '69 to '76, and in that era, it was quite rare for older people to get up and dance, the way younger teens and 20-somethings would. So what stands out is that occasionally some people in that Vegas crowd DO get up and dance while he is on stage. He and his music, and that of others from the 50s forward, were part of a revolution going on culturally still at that time where live performances and audience behavior were concerned among what we might generally call middle class America. Within a decade or so, it would have been more normal for even 30, 40, and older-something people to "let go" a bit more at such a venue. At last that's my sense, talking to my parents and others who were young in that period. Peace, Marie

Elvis always did fun things. The microphone in mouth had no secret meaning. As he said, “he’d never do anything to embarrass his mother.”

[@mrchips4489]

Just subscribed; I've enjoyed watching your Elvis video reactions. The microphone...it didn't mean anything; Elvis had fun on stage, it was part of his charm. Also, Elvis 'conducted' the band, orchestra and backup singers with his body movements and backward looks towards a particular band member. That's what he's doing with the drum player - Ronnie Tutt. They're playing off each other. And yes, Elvis really felt the music with his whole body as he oftentimes said. Early in his career it got him into a lot of trouble - the 1950's was a very conservative decade but the young people loved the 'new' sound and Elvis's movements and weren't going to be denied.

[@daggs3631]

Elvis outfits were on FIRE! Elvis sometimes brought a note with his lyrics on stage and hid it in his belt, that was normal. He had a lot of song to remember and his fans were just excited to be there and didn't mind. Today people are so uptight and judging and mean of artist that would be a big deal today.The fans loved and respected the artists in the 70's and prior. Shame on fans today and the uptight artist of today. Elvis moved his body to the beat of his band/music - SO AMAZING!. Can NOT be repeated by any other artists today or yesterday. That's why people still love him. He is the one and only. Only MJ can come close and that was a different time. You have to remember back in the day people dressed in suits and professional attire when they attended concerts and when they traveled on planes - Furs, suits and nightgowns. It was a different world. I love Elvis! Bon Jovi needs to shut the F UP he can't compare himself to Elvis at 40 or prior. Compare yourself to someone who is not a legend. Stay away from Elvis, MJ, Beatle, Rollingstones and Prince. You're not in their league.

Singers who can rock a stage with an entertaining "performance" are VERY few and far between. Michael Jackson was one. Jerry Lee Lewis was one. But maybe the real grand daddy of that kind of performance was the Godfather of Soul, the one and only James Brown back in the late 50s-early-60s. Unfortunately there are only a few rare black-and-white film clips of James Brown doing his thing. Elvis and James Brown were solid close friends.

"He's not even trying... nobosy can imitate that" . I love that your reactions have matured as the gravity of what Elvis had achieved in this post WWII world, no Internet, not a stadium big enough to hold the tickets he was selling out every gig. He did approx 1163 shows in a short space of time, plus Aloha... imagine how many women wanted their Elvis kiss during his live shows. He was the real deal, absolute G. He lived it for real, took all the grief and shit from White middle America and all the hatred from the Black section who said he stole off their culture. But he grew up immersed in that culture and he took care of it and his black artist influences. He was beautiful, in every way ❤
