[@javierserna1000]

Dani, I was 16 and at this concert.. Had Tears in my eyes when he finished this song.. Even at the age of 16, I was still aware that this was a love song, yet Elvis wasn't singing for or to a woman, 'he was reaching out to God to bring him home.. I get tears just thinking about that.. Yes, I have gone through periods of anger as to why others didn't try to get through to him..

you know they did try right? point is that no one could stop Elvis from creating his own damnation, you can't tell a 42 year old man "hey don't do that or no that's not good for you" that easy.. also Elvis was depressed and tired.. the drugs, technically medicine numbed the pain

He was so sick, but still gave his all! He's singing with the angels now! RIP, Elvis

[@fabiodesouza7228]

This song is the perfect interpretation: even with his health totally decadent, it was the proof that God never abandoned Elvis, did not embarrass him, no matter how bad his health was; God helped him to take everything out of his voice and show the world what was truly a divine talent. Exciting ... I can listen for hours and cry for hours, I will never find meaning in the music of any other artist that goes beyond this interpretation of Elvis. Hugs from Brazil!

[@paulmurray3515]

He single handedly changed an entire culture but unfortunately became a prisoner of his own greatness. A once in a lifetime talent that gave everything to the world.

Nobody will ever have that kind of charisma and magnetism again. This was his last performance, 43 years ago, and it still blows people away. Greatest of all time.

[@joshuagalarpe]

Incredible voice...

[@tube1fn]

He squeezed every ounce of that God given talent he had in him to give the crowd the performance he knew they wanted to see and the performance standard he had for himself. Him, Micheal, Freddie had that pure God given gift of voice and performance and they tried to give that gift to the public to the highest standard till they died. The more i see Elvis' performances the more respect i have for him.

His majestic voice never failed him. There will never be another like him. He will always be the king, no matter what...

[@KNGELVIS]

Someone once said that this song is meant for a love that hasn't been seen for a long, lonely time, but on this particular night, Elvis seemed to be crying out to a much higher power. What a shame to lose him at just 42 with so much left to give, but then again I feel like he gave us all he had of himself. I still get so emotional when I think about it, yet I'm always comforted by remembering these two lines from the epitaph on his tombstone.. "God saw that he needed some rest and Called him home to be with Him." RIP Elvis. The world should could use a little Elvis about now.

[@DaniAtkinson]

Powerful words. Yes, when he said "God" it sounded like a plea and cry for help. Broke me.

[@brentstevenson1484]

Did'nt he GIVE Enough

[@KNGELVIS]

@@brentstevenson1484 Yes, i said he gave us all of himself and only meant HE wanted to do more...make a credible motion picture, perform in Europe, but of course we know how the colonel not wanting him to share top billing with Streisand for "A Star Is Born" and the fact the colonel was an illegal immigrant would always keep him from opportunities like that. Take care.

OMG I just can’t - even as sick as he was with breathing issues and all he never lost the passion or his talent. 💖💖💖💖💖💖 To me, that little smile he gives is almost like saying “ I can still do it - I still got it”. I’m 65 now and I remember when the news came out everyone I knew was shocked because we had not heard anything about his health really,

[@rookmaster7502]

Beautifully summarized, Dani. Every time I watch that performance, I can't help but shed a tear. For Elvis, nothing was more important than performing for his fans. In hindsight, perhaps it would have been best if he had canceled his shows, gone on hiatus, sought treatment and tended to his health. But as a dedicated performer, I don't think Elvis allowed himself to take such a break.

[@DaniAtkinson]

Thank you! It is truly heart wrenching! No, I think he worked himself to the bone. I wish he would have taken care of himself.

I am a life long Elvis fan and knowing just how bad his health was, I find it incredible Elvis had the strength and will to actually go on tour and perform in front of cameras for a TV special. Elvis should have been in a hospital not on stage.

[@DaniAtkinson]

Yes, he should have been getting the help he needed.

[@wllmate166]

Dani Atkinson and everyone who posted comments! If I could a little back story! Rehab in 77 was nothing like it is now! Elvis was hospitalized for no less then 7 time, in Vegas and in Memphis, in the end, his nurse in TN was hired to be with him,these hospital stays were to ( help with his addiction) but he was getting them there as well! there were a few people who really tried to intervene, Priscilla was trying but her contact with him was made limited and begged him to cancel the final tour. There were 2 fired bodyguards that wrote a book in 76 about what was happening with Elvis and it just crushed him! they stated it was written to try and motivate him to make the changes he needed to make! Ginger Alden his girlfriend at the time of his death! I’m not sure how much she did as she had moved out of Graceland prior to his death. And as you stated that maybe there were people who could of done more ( The Memphis Mafia) it really isn’t controversial these guys took there orders from the Colonel no matter the cost get him on stage! So there were factions in the camp fighting to do what was right and others who he was there meal ticket, Elvis new who cared and who didn’t! That alone must have been hurtful, with all he did for them. He was so broken and so lonely by this point he had no passion and the fight was gone! Maybe if earlier on he took more control, Lisa Marie and Priscilla had multiple wrongful death suites filed! Enough of all that just wanted to give you some in site of the back drop of what was happening! That book really devastated him from what his fans would think! In the end we were blessed to have him and seen him! The greatest entertainer ever!! My anger comes from the ones who really tried to help and were pushed out, what if? What if Elvis could of helped himself?Hope this is not rambling but a lot of facts I felt I had to be said! You’re keeping him relevant and as a huge fan I thank you! Let’s keep passing this remarkable man to other generations! God bless, you’re a talent in your own right! Great job!! By the way My Mother was a huge Elvis fan, I was seven or eight years old at the time and she took me to see him in New Haven Connecticut, I still have the ticket stub! I just remember him being awesome, Thanks for reading and again for all you do! Ted

Hi Dani, I am a huge Elvis since the age of 6. I am now almost 45. This performance shows the deepest of his heart. When I watch this video I still get tears in my eyes. I always had that deep feeling inside me that he knew that the end was near but never lost his humor. What you told about his fysical condition and what the press told about that was indeed disgusting. Elvis would never done that to others. Any way I still love the man deeply. Elvis Forever

[@_Conzo_]

For the sake of clarity, this isn't quite his final show - this is June 21, 1977 and his final show was June 26, 1977. Dates aside, you have an incredible voice! All best with your singing, hoping you stay safe and well in these difficult times.

[@dianenewcomb4765]

Elvis had a stutter as a young boy and sometimes as an adult, especially if he was nervous. This was 6 weeks before he died. I've heard this I don't know how many times and it still affects me deeply...

[@DaniAtkinson]

Oh, I didn't realize he had a stutter at a young age! It is just impossible not to be overcome with emotion during this performance.

[@dianenewcomb4765]

@@DaniAtkinson you should visit Graceland in Memphis. He bought it in 1957 and lived there until he died in 1977. He died upstairs in his bathroom. Him and his parents and twin brother are buried in the Meditation Garden there. You can FEEL his spirit there!!! I love your reactions to his music. You feel it in your soul!

[@tms8260]

Great job Dani, unbelievably I don’t think his voice even peaked. They toured him way too much. He was most definitely worn out and should have been in a hospital. The day he died he was supposed to be in Portland Maine. You ask questions that I have debated with others for 40 years. His mother could have saved him but she died in 1958. His manager and father cared more about the money. His girlfriends were much younger and Priscilla was gone. I know he was in the hospital several times between 75 and 77 which they said was exhaustion. Also, the nurses would sneak him whatever he wanted. I think it comes down to he had to want it and I think he just had too much power. No one told Elvis no. Maybe that was the problem, he had fame beyond imagination. The fact that this is debated to this day tells you something. Great analysis. He was King 🤴 for a reason and it was not self-proclaimed.

[@jrc8640]

He was hospitized twice in 73 one straight after the divorce!! Almost died he was in such bad shape that doctor in la was giving him Demerol which s lethal to say the least !! They couldn't believe how fatty his liver was n his colon which you no was in a bad way from all the drugs!!

[@DaniAtkinson]

Thank you! wow...he was worked so hard right up until the end. I'm sure it was not easy to go against him, I just wish someone would have or if they did, not given up. We will never know the whole truth of how things happened. I just wish it could have ended differently.

[@lindadavis3728]

His commitment to delivering this song demonstrates his loyalty and true love which is " the song." You know when you love something so much how you take extra precaution to protect and preserve it because it is of such great value to you,. Dani did a good job at comparing how he was before he sang the song, while he was singing the song and after he sang the song and to his dyeing day he never mistreated a song. He would not and could not forsake "the song." It is his love of the song that people, universally, respond to so I appreciate seeing how strong of a relationship he has with a vehicle that gives so many people so much joy and appreciation to his dying days. That says a lot. "The song" is Elvis's spoke person.

Well Dani, if there's a real heaven and God, you can rest assure the old Elvis is looking down at you watching you sing, and giving him a coplimentary critique of his last month. He's certainly got that curly lip smiling at you. Just so you know the 77 special was put together from 2 separate concerts (Omaha & Rapid City). His actual last concert ever was in Indianapolis. The arena is now torn down, but thee is a plaque commemorating the last concert he ever did. I mentioned this to you once before, if you get a chance, just listen to Indescribably Blue (it's on KZbin but not actual footage of him singing). You will hear his voice at his very best.

[@johngobufalloes4678]

Elvis, he really dug down deep and sang that song beautifully and with heartfelt feelings, I loved it! Professional all the way to the very end

[@theresahansen5018]

I am so happy to see you and other young people learning about our Elvis Presley !

[@brianwalk3836]

Elvis was definitely gifted musically. Probably the perfect music machine. You are definitely gifted also with interpretation and vocals yourself! I'm glad you are doing these videos and get to experience what so many over the years have and explaining the impact of him and his music have had on people over the years! Keep up the good work!

[@roee7335]

First, what an incredible job you did! Wow! Thank you for sharing That! Second, Thank you for your very emotional, very real reaction to this song. Recorded just 6 weeks before he passed, his incredible voice never failed him....

[@DaniAtkinson]

Thank YOU so much, Roe!!! You can catch the full video on my channel, I also linked it into this video! This performance brought up so many emotions for me, I can't believe how close it was to his passing - -breaks my heart!

[@roee7335]

@@DaniAtkinson Thanks!! I'm going to watch now!!! Interested to know, would you consider reacting to subscribers singing ?

[@brianwhitney9181]

I remember several months after he died I was with a group of people to watch this last concert. When he did this song we all cried because we felt he was saying goodbye to the World.

[@francisbasker4722]

Very beautifully said. I read all the comments and agree with most. It's all recognizable. What else would he have done if he had lived longer? I'm from the Netherlands and as a young child I saw this Elvis in Concert video on TV as a memorial after his death. It made a huge impression on me as a child. Since then I still often watch and listen to his concerts all my life. I'm now 58 and still sometimes sit up late into the night watching elvis clips. What is it about this man that keeps you so involved? Elvis has touched me all my life. We can only respect and be grateful. I'm not very religious but you would hope to see people you love again at some point

[@D-BoyUSA]

He so quickly slipped away from us. He had so much more to give. Loved around the world for his velvety voice. A one of a kind. He could have sung for many more years if he had proper help with his health. Add him to the list of famous people taken too early. In those days I don't remember drugs talked about much...I mean I knew about marijuana and LSD but I thought that was just being taken by hippies in communes.For someone Elvis's age to be on drugs was a surprise to me and even a bigger surprise that it contributed to his death.

[@DaniAtkinson]

If he had stayed healthy, he would have sang and performed til the very end, I'm certain. He was taken way too early. That's really interesting, so it wasn't really speculated much.

[@D-BoyUSA]

@@DaniAtkinson I was 31 at the time, working hard and raising a family. I didn't read tabloids and there weren't any shows like entertainment tonight so only important news was covered on TV. An entertainers health was just not new worthy where I lived. (upstate N.Y.)

[@Mr966496]

Dani, your voice is beautiful. I agree Elvis’ voice was still great up to the end, it had an operatic feel to it. Please listen to Elvis perform “ how great thou art”, “Hurt”, and “My way”, all from the same 1977 concert tour, its seems as if he knows the end is near. they are truly incredible performances. Thanks

[@DaniAtkinson]

Thank you, Mary! Those have been some popular requests, so you can expect some of them next week!

[@rickywhite8828]

Dani ur voice is beautiful

[@josephpeters2367]

A great man A great legend never be forgotten

[@donnadentzau7439]

I agree he never wanted to let his fans down fantastic job he did on this song

[@Worthfishing]

I believe Elvis knew the end was near and after his mom died I believe music is what kept him going. I’ve always been a true Elvis fan and this is one video I have a hard time watching.Btw you have an amazing voice👍👍👍

[@DaniAtkinson]

Thank you, Worth!! Yes, it feels like he knew the end was near in some moments.

[@maryrowell1122]

I cry every time i see this

[@Phoenix7878]

First, thank you for the in-depth review...it came from the heart. There's a lot of things people don't know about this tour & his final years. Elvis would actually perform this song once more in on June 25th, then ending the tour on the 26th. As for his health, it was NOT just addiction to medications. There were genetic conditions that ran in the family. This man was born with a twisted colon, which began acting up later in life causing him to retain fluids & toxins. He had a heart almost 3 times the average size. He battled glaucoma since 1970. He battled depression, anxiety & insomnia his whole life. That's just the basics. Now enter the people around him. An evil manager, Tom Parker who didn't care how he got to the stage, as long as he got on stage. Elvis' Dr. trying to treat these progressive health issues which then eventually included liver problems. People don't even realize that Elvis was handed a contract on June 1st in Macon, Ga. for this concert tour. That gave this man 16 days to prepare for live tv cameras for the first time in over 4 years. Yeah, he was sick, but he wasn't weak....when Elvis got nervous he would stutter his words & look for support. As far as I'm concerned, Elvis did a fantastic job here in front of CBS & I love watching his concerts. BTW, if it wasn't for the fluid retention, Elvis would have looked notably leaner. There's a lot more to the story, but I got to get to bed. PEACE!

[@ajhorniman8285]

Just want to say, "Hi". And add that what Mike O'Reilly says, it what learned after hearing that Elvis had died. I was 12yrs old and in the UK when I heard he'd passed, BBC Radio 2 & Radio Luxembourg played Elvis songs all night. I heard that Tom Parker was not a very nice person, & that those that attempted to help Elvis, suddenly lost thier jobs (possibly from Mr Tom Parker convincing Elvis that they weren't 'really' his friends). However, as I was 12, and this info had to "cross the pond" to get to me, I'm willing to concede that I could have some of that wrong. 🖖💞🙏🕯️🙏💞

[@kratoleaf7619]

I have seen this performance atleast 30 times and crying while typing this.....everytime I get chills and get very sad...

[@BBQPITDOG]

No one else could pull this performance off but Elvis! One incredible moment in music history!

[@rogerlowery6549]

Nice reaction my friend. I was fortunate enough to see him live in person in June of 1977 2 months before he passed. His health was not good but his voice was still amazing and the sold out audience still loved him very much. It was a magical experience for a 12 year old kid and fan. I will always cherish it and remember it in my life.Keep up the great work! Check out his vocal performance of how great though art in 1977 sometime. His vocal power and passion was still there.

[@DaniAtkinson]

Thank you so much! What a memory that must be for you. The music was his heart and soul! I will check that out!

[@trumanupchurch364]

You did a great job singing it.Elvis will live forever.

[@DaniAtkinson]

Thank you sooo much, Truman! You can catch the full video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWW4ap53lpVnhdU

[@Jeri_C11]

Bittersweet knowing what’s down the road but he’s still the best. Wow you have a gorgeous voice. That’s a hard song to do. You’re so talented. Elvis still gave it his very best. God bless him and now and I hope he & his grandson are at peace together with no more pain or earthly worries.

[@nicholasmarzigliano7616]

Dani you are so spot on. Elvis's rendition of Unchained Melody was so sad, yet so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@bg1968100]

Your critique of this performance was done with such honesty and real motivating questions. I guess because you're an excellent singer yourself, you know every feeling and have a unique 360 view of it. Thank you for an excellent heartfelt review!

[@DaniAtkinson]

Thank you! It moved me so much, I was so upset after watching this. I had to react from my heart.

[@careyfaulkner7293]

Great reaction....his voice was incredible

[@jamesbrady2461]

i just came across this. Elvis vocals were great on this song and to realalize later this was his last performace was heartbreaking. anyone wanted too help him at this time could"nt too late. I saw him in concert three times. when he passed like many i was devastated. Watching your reaction too this was heartbreaking. when i heard you sing this in the begining gave me chills , you have a fantastic voice ! i have to find the complete video of you singing this. good by Elvis we're going too miss you!

[@davidgarratt3508]

Unbelievable i can watch this every day briliant voice even though he was ill 😘

[@vikkisunflower8899]

Heartbreaking to know what is coming and how unwell he was at this point.

[@DaniAtkinson]

Terribly heartbreaking and sad.

[@jrc8640]

It's very sad n emotional to watch !! He was bloated with all the pills he was on .. I just wish he never went in to the army n maybe he would have lived longer!! You can see he is breathless but when he sings that voice is phenomenal !! N that smile !! Just awesome! Your version dani was very good

[@DaniAtkinson]

It is just awful to see him that way! Very overwhelming! His smile breaks my heart, I just wish things didn’t end the way they did for him. Thank you for your sweet words!!! ❤️

[@janetmyles8764]

The bloating you see that Elvis has right now it's not caused from the pills. It is caused from heart failure. I have been a nurse for 43 years. The Colonel would not let him not perform. He was known to have said he didn't care. He wanted Elvis on the stage no matter what. This song took a lot of air to accomplish. How Elvis was able to sing it so wonderfully is a miracle in itself!

[@kennyweaver8475]

what an awesome song sung by the BEST ARTIST in history i know he wasnt in the best health but he still had that most remarkable voice in the world

[@dougnicol6151]

Nobody even dreamed that this man would ever leave us. It was incomprehensible. That's why it was such a shock when he passed.

[@dianenewcomb4765]

I love your honest reaction to Elvis' songs and your description of him when he sings. Polk Salad Annie from Vegas in 1970 is a real good one. He has a lot of fun with it!

[@DaniAtkinson]

Thank you, Diane! That has been a very popular request! Look out for it later this week

[@KevinsHeaven]

Very good reaction. Good performance of yourself as well. How many off us wish they could have gone back in time and reach him to actually help him . There were, by the way some inner circle friends who tried to tell him to straighten out his life. They ended up leaving his circle and writing a book called “Elvis: what happened?” Elvis saw this as betrayal and we all have to decide for ourselves. I’ve heard both sides of the story. Not judging anyone. There are other gems from this concert performance including “hurt“… “How great thou art” and “it’s now or never“, all of which showcase his powerful vocal range.

[@DaniAtkinson]

Thank you so much! I'm sure that people tried to help, I just wish someone could have intervened and made the outcome different. I know it would have had to come from Elvis' own personal will to want to get better. It's just so hard to imagine the reality of it. So sad. I have to pick up that book, but as you said, we'll never know the real truth.

[@johnsydneywright2028]

I’m from Louisville,and in spring of 77, Elvis has a show at Freedom Hall,at 7:30. During the afternoon,he was having lunch in his suite,and whomever was with him,got called away momentarily. When they returned, Elvis had either passed out or fallen asleep sitting up,and was face down in his bowl of soup.The security staff came running, and got Elvis away from the table,and laid him in bed. Dr. Nick came in to tend to him. Suddenly there was violent banging at the suite door, and in came Tom Parker, his manager. He walked in the bedroom,glanced at Elvis,came up to LarryGellar and said,” Listen to me. The only thing that matters, is that man is on that stage tonight.Nothing else is important. He sings whTever it takes....”

[@brianwhitney9181]

The fact he would get on stage in such poor health and still bare his soul to the whole world is a testament of his talent and courage.

[@MitchellPatrick333]

Great reaction & I love this Elvis performance. People tried to help him & when they did Elvis cut them out of the loop & found new people to attend to his needs. Sad. Anyway, love this song by Elvis. You have great pipes as well. ☺️💚🎶

[@DaniAtkinson]

Thank you so much, Mitchell!! Very sad, he lost control of his addiction! 😞

[@MitchellPatrick333]

Dani Atkinson His life story is quite intriguing. His music is my life’s soundtrack. 🙃💚🎶

[@davidbolan3203]

I wish someone close would have helped.. His music still moves me.

[@DaniAtkinson]

It is timeless.

[@mercury_heist]

wow even on his grave you can probably still hear his voice and how amazing singer he was, The drugs did the talking but Elvis did the singing R.I.P. The Legend

[@jester99sch]

I have watched a couple of your Elvis videos Dani and I think that they honor Elvis's memory nicely! Ive never been a big Elvis fan but I do know that his significance and importance to the history of rock and roll can't be denied or questioned! Few performances I have seen/watched in 56 years have brought tears to my eyes quite like this performance of Unchained Melody! You can see that Elvis was tired, sick and struggling to keep it going for his fans.. For at least a little while, Elvis was a bright beacon in this otherwise dark world and we miss the light that emanated from him dearly! The world shall not see the likes of him again! Thank you my friend for making a great video even better :)
