Now we see where Michael Jackson's "Thrillier" video got most of the ideas. Once again Elvis was way ahead of his time.

Elvis was the most handsome man i've ever seen and talented. No one can compare. thank you

Elvis songs from various movies throughout his career were reprised during the '68 comeback and performed before a live studio audience. The versions of his songs shown here like "Little Egypt", "Guitar Man", and "Big Boss Man" were shorter than the original movie soundtracks, and presented as a medley. The live performances were great, as was the choreography with newly added martial arts moves, since Elvis gained his black belt in karate. A lot of his mid-sixties movie roles were panned by critics, and he was not competing well with the British invasion groups that began in 1963. The 1968 Comeback Special received top ratings in audience viewership as Elvis re-invented himself as a live performer, and began charting hit songs again despite the Beatles and Stones popularity at the time. The '68 Special now preserves Elvis' legacy for future generations of fans.

This was a big night in my house the night this aired. We also all gathered for the 1973 Elvis special from Hawaii. Always entertaining.

That was the TV EVENT of 1968. More people watched it than watched the moon landing. Elvis was on 🔥. The whole special was soooooo good. Thanks for reacting to this one. The black leather sit-down and stand-up segments are fantastic, too.❤❤❤

hello Jenny.

Elvis was and still is a quadruple threat! The G.O.A.T!!

In the movie, they took poetic liberties with with that song, “guitar man”. That riot wwas actually in 1956 but the song wasn’t written till 1958! It’s totally fine because the rebel message was what was important.

All the events did happen but they had to kaleidoscope multiple events into one scene in order to show them all…also some of the music was used to move plot along, such as Trouble.

@@allandickson8576 yes I meant trouble

How exciting to see the Comeback show again! In the editing of the video they have removed a song. In the part when Elvis is at the amusement park and after he hits the gangster, the song "It hurts me" follows and then came the Dance choreography.

Yes this is the tv special where his manager wanted and thought it was gonna end with a couple Christmas songs but Elvis and the producers changed it up and he sang If I Can Dream..a song about the segregation happening in 68 and the assassinations of MLK and Bobby Kennedy instead of the Christmas tunes...Thanks for this one today..love you guys 👍✌️

I remember watching this on TV in 1968...Elvis killed it in that show and it put him back in the public eye and a year later he was touring and singing in front of live audiences again which is what he was striving for...great reaction, guys...Keep Being Awesome !!!...

Unbeatable!😊

I was an Elvis fan and have never seen this. He was the best entertainer I have ever seen. Elvis live was just amazing. No one has come along to come near him. Also one of the best looking man I have ever seen. Loved this. THX.

Elvis,just simple the BEST

The scenes are part in the middle and the end of E1vis ´68 TV Comeback Special. After E1vis left the stage in black leather, IF I CAN DREAM followed at the end of the show. You should watch the entire special!

The song Trouble is from his movie KING CREOLE. It was his favorite movie and it was his best. thank you

👑✌️

FREAKN EPIIIC!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️👏👏 COOLEST DUDE EVER! AWESOME AWESOME REACTION, GANG. THANK YOU ♥️ 😊

Need to watch Elvis in black leather from 68 special. The 68 comeback medley.

Thanks Guys. To see Elvis's charisma. Like his talking, interacting and just being funny all around in a cool way. Then watch him do FUNNY HOW TIME SLIPS AWAY. 1972. LIVE. HD.

Elvis will always be the king.

That beautiful angelic face, oh my goodness this man is truly missed. Elvis the King 👑 ❤❤❤❤❤

Spicy 🌶️

❤👑❤️

So amazing! I drool just watching him.

ELVIS❤ THANK YOU!

The King, great reaction

Let's make things right: elvis in real life sang the song "trouble" for the first time in his movie "king creole" in 1958, in the movie he "sang" it live at ruswood park in 1956, which obviously not correct, Elvis never sang it live until the TV comeback special and during his performances during the 70s

Someone on another channel disputed him not singing Trouble live (he has his own Elvis channel and knows everything Elvis), but I believe you’re correct about not singing it at Russwood.

Great reaction and a nice surprise as I have not seen this for a long time - thumbs up all round guys.

What a great men ❤❤

Wow, that was amazing! Thank you!

So good

👑 ELVIS ⚡️✌🏻🇺🇸

Oh my that black leather suit has burnt into my memory, this is when Elvis looked his very best. Newly married and had just became a Father ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My god Elvis 🔥🫦🫶

Guitar Man was written and recorded by Jerry Reed. (The lyrics pertain to him more than Elvis) Elvis chose to record quite a few of his songs after this one. The other songs are all from Elvis’ movies. This was completely groundbreaking in ‘68. Almost as groundbreaking as Elvis had been in the 50’s. This was BEFORE Elvis finished making movies and started performing live shows again. He still had another year before he was playing live.

Wow love the 68 special. Elvis is gorgeous. React to tge Wonder of You

Happy always glad to hear Elvis❤. Thank you!

That was the '68 Comeback. Little Egypt was sung by Elvis in the movie Roustabout and Trouble was sung by Elvis in the movie King Creole, which was the movie he made before going into the Army. The song Let Yourself Go was sung by Elvis in Speedway, the movie he made with Nancy Sinatra ♥️💋🎸

Really this Guy is mazing ❤ bless you elvis we love you

Love that love Elvis Presley soooo good

Have you watched any of his sit down performances in the black leather such as Trying to Get to You, from the same show?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ELVIS

Wow fantastic, thank you for showing 👍👍👍

Elvis il numero uno in assoluto 🔝👑⚡❤️ the best the greatest all of the time with goddess Marilyn bye bye baby 🇮🇹💋

i do some Elvis and i actually do this song

Thx for your reaction on Elvis. Yes, this is the '68 Special where he did the protest song. ..If I Can Dream. Guitar Man is 1 many #'s he performs. There's a Gospel # that is incredible. When u have time, please watch it. YT has the whole show. And u can see the Elvis Movie staring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks on Prime Video...🎸🎶❤⚡🕺..TCB😊

One of my favorite Jerry Reed penned songs. Elvis also did a great version of U.S. Male that Jerry wrote too. This version is a medley of songs.

The bordello scene featuring A Little Less Conversation was actually cut from the original airing of the Special…as it was deemed to risqué by the sponsor, Singer Sewing Machines. Trouble was used as a recurring song throughout the different parts of the special.

I always liked the gospel production number more. That was fun!

💖💖

Many of these songs were in some of his movies such as Speedway, Little Egypt was in Roustabout and the last one was in King Creole.

So in the movie, the concert where Elvis performs Trouble, is really a compilation of multiple shows, but it depicts a time when Elvis actually had not recorded Trouble yet (1958). They simply picked the song due to the lyrics for the scene.

Fantastisk 🙏👍👍👍

good choice👌

Have a look on Sina Döering jaming with Elvis- POLK!!! On Yube!!!/ Crossover nowadays! [ She is a German drummerin-GREAT!!!]❤

@BettyBicepGirls Ah, I see. Funny how nobody wanted to touch Elvis until the movie came out, and it's not even accurate.

Thank God Steve Binder decided to stand up to the Colonel. This would’ve been a corny Christmas Special otherwise.

Now you need to do the gospel melody from the same show it is even better than this

There are several things I notice when there is an Elvis reaction. Here are just 2. If the reactor is white, there is NEVER! any comment to watch Elvis and the black community. However! if the reactor is black, you will always find that they should watch Elvis and the black community, which in itself is a false title, and! they will mention Cissy Houston. I have aways wondered why they do this. This has baffled me for some time.

Why did the movie show him doing the song in front of a live audience and getting mobbed? because the movie was fictional BS..

You get a chance watch Trouble/Guitar man it's the same 68 comeback special but Its more of Him playing the electric guitar after singing trouble and He sings it fast instead of slow and sings the whole guitar man and it's FIRE and a must see.This guitar man He did here was totally diff U must watch the whole guitar man with Him jamming with His Electric guitar and singing fast with like 30 ppl playing guitar up on a staging behind Him.Its called trouble/Guitar man and it's FIRE,,Great reaction great channel,,Both of You have a great day and I know You will love the other one as well as it shows His guitar playing
