They thought in the 60s that Elvis was finished and gone because the Beatles really took over. But Elvis had one more card to play up his sleeve that no one was expecting. He came back dressed in that black leather gear and he took the world by storm again as someone said He's starting again. And boy did he start. That's why it's called -The comeback special. Or the TV Special.

They didn't think Elvis was finished.. Elvis was away from performing because he was tied into movie contracts.He was gone for eight years.. That's why this was called his " Come back special."

Well, I know I always (come back) to watch these performances because they are defiantly special!❤❤ And I am grateful for reactors and commenters or I would have never seen these. I wasn't born yet in 68, and wasn't into music till 80s so Elvis wasn't on the radio or Mtv and I knew of course who he was but WOW, he's AMAZING! Weird how you can become a fan of someone 47 years after they are gone.

Elvis was self-taught on the guitar, the bass, the piano and the accordion among others. I think the shrieking near the end when Elvis half got up is because the fans were hoping he'd get up and dance. OTOH, all Elvis had to do was move his shoulder a bit and fans would scream. He was the first international Superstar and the first to cross racial lines and genres. Before Elvis, white singers would just stand there and sing; Elvis brought it to a whole nother level with his dancing and addition of drums which was otherwise not a regular feature with singers. Elvis fused Country, R&B, Blues & Gospel to create his own unique sound. No one like him before or after. Great times growing up and coming of age during the Elvis era. TCB

Elvis's mom bought Elvis his first guitar when Elvis was just 11 years old. He wanted a bb gun (like his friends) but she didnt want to get him a bb gun. He loved the guitar & took it every where!

He’s been gone since August 16 1977 and we’re still going crazy for him. The ultimate man !

Elvis also plays a fantastic piano, and he also played the accordion. His very last live filmed performance eight weeks prior to his death, was unchained melody, where he sits at the piano and sings. It was a brutally passionate performance, considering he was very ill, and would die about eight weeks later. He suffered from bloating G.I. issues, vision issues and was not well at all, but it was an astounding performance. It’s live 1977 from the same concert when he sings how great thou art it was almost as if he knew he wasn’t going to live much longer. When he did the song my way from that particular concert in 1977 I remember as a teenager getting chills. It was his goodbye to us. Three of the most phenomenal, outstanding and heart, wrenching performances. Even at the very end of his life, his voice never failed him. Those performances were nothing but brilliant.

It’s hard to choose just one best song. He recorded over 700 songs. When I saw Love Me Tender the day it premiered, all the girls were screaming. You couldn’t hear him. In those days you could stay all day in the Theater. I stayed two and half showings. Ha, ha I was taking sing ing lessons and was late. I was supposed be on a children’s TV show singing with two other girls. I didn’t follow that career.! I have a terrible Alto voice.

Elvis, The Greatest Entertainer of all time!! Elvis had Everything!! There is no one that can compare!! He was a quadruple threat!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤!

I'm in my early 50's, and as a kid I only knew the fat Elvis. Then a hippie English Literature teacher, filling in for our music teacher, heard me scoff at Elvis, then explained how he was the revolution that led to hippie movement itself. I still appreciate her taking the time, as she opened my eyes. 🥃👍

This Whole 68 Special was Absolutely Amazing. Amazon Has This On A D.V.D. On Sale A Must See. Thanks Great Reaction.

Songs Any Day Now, Wearin That Loved On Look, Inherit The Wind, Long Black Limousine. His Vocals Are More Raspy. Elvis Had A Cold But He Never Sounded Better.

Bridge over Troubled Water… 1970 Las Vegas

His mother got his first guitar I think before he moved to Memphis

I am so, so glad to see you young people discovering Elvis Presley. God created the world in 7 days. On the 8th day, he created Elvis. He was showing off his finest work when he created this man. May I suggest you go and listen to his Live From Hawaii show. A few songs also live: Just Pretend, What Now My Love, You Gave Me A Mountain, In The Ghetto. Enjoy what you are about to listen to. No acoustics, nothing but his raw talent. You are witnessing "The Best" there was. No one comes close.

Elvis played the piano, acoustic and electric guitar, bass, bongos, drums, and ukulele! He was self taught and never took voice lessons or acting lessons or any music lessons! He arranged most of his recordings and live performances!

@@racheotes In order to arrange music, you need to know how to read and write and play it. Since Elvis could not do any of those things, the only place it happened is in your delusional mind. The only organ he played was the one between the colonel legs.

I love this performance so much. (And everything about the way he acts and looks during it, haha.).

Watch Love Me Tender 1970's. I'll blow your mind. Las Vegas show

It's so good that you want to learn & a pleasure for us. Even my 20 year old son and 18 year old tough sons are watching you with me. He has presence, it comes natural to him. I think you're too young to understand lol yes he deep throated .. musically, he choreography his band, every hand movement, every head movement, he is directing them because he's freestyle & they don't know what he's going to do next .. they were not lyrics .. it was him just pretending to read a note he was given earlier ... he makes the drummer Ronnie Tutt work hard, he competes with the drummer. Sweetheart, in those days, people went to a theatre with seats , although it's live, nobody stood up. It's not like today. Thebonlybtimebyou'll see people up and screaming you need to watch his open air concerts

Those faces, which you carefully observe, are the faces of admiration, which all men want, but few achieve anywhere close to this level. But the weird part of it is, I took a date to see Elvis in the mid 70's in Miami, and I didn't get a bit jealous when she went crazy over him- I couldn't explain it, you had to be there. Good reaction!

You should watch “Reinventing Elvis” his first time with a live audience in, he got drafted in the Army in 1958 and had to finish movie contracts till 1968. After 10 years her was scared to sing live. This is a clip.

Fire 🔥🔥🔥

HE WAS NEVER GONE.. HE JUST STEPPED OUT FOR A MIN. AND WE STILL HAVE HIM... FROZEN IN TIMES 🕊🕊🕊 ( TIMELESS ❤

I agree with the reaction before me. He was just incredible. Never has anybody been that good in person like Elvis.He was the best looking man I have ever seen.

He was all that, a beautiful person

huh? yes, we all get older. This was 57 years ago...not too sure how many on here went to this 'concert'..it was filmed for TV. Also, Elvis played guitar, bass, piano (beautifully) and drums.Elvis was married.

Elvis growed up whit african/American and he have soul in his voice❤

Elvis was my first inspiration years ago. His raw voice and talent he had for singing. His persona and everything he did was just the definition of cool.

Another great song from that same concert, 68 Comeback Special, is One Night With You. Women go crazy for that one too.

This is when he looked his best ❤

Good move zooming in and checking out the faces. Never saw that before.

Elvis was the man! He had a lot of women. I’d love to know how many! I think he’s in his prime here.

This was a TV show, I remember watching his concerts on TV from Hawaii he was awesome singer

Women still screamed when he started to do Vegas as well. He was loved, adored, he didn't have to do anything. He could have any girl he wanted FACT. If you're basing him on the film, it doesn't do him justice. Don't forget that by this time he had taken a break, tied to a 6 year contract in films .. over 30 over them. Watch hound dog.

That lady in the white dress you’re pointing out was actually the only female Memphis mafia member! She was his close friend!

Hollyweird tried to punish #Elvis when he left them and it didn’t work!✨👑

GOAT forever...loved and missed. Do some more research on him and you will find out why his fans adore him still. Great job on your review. Good luck.

Elvis Presley was simply too big for this small world and this universe.

If you go look at the 'love me tender" video (where he kisses all the girls ) the girl in white is standing in line to get a kiss,but Elvis kisses that guy ( almost ) instead- lol

😂

He also played the piano.

Watch a video of his singing Love Me Tender live. All the women wanted to kiss him.

This was the era when you had to have real talent to be on TV or the radio. Elvis played a little guitar and piano.

I think he admitted that he only knew 3 chords but he could have kidding when he said that

Later in the concert he stands up to sing a medley of hits old hits. You can see his amazing physique. He was hot.

He"d been in the army! And then made 33 films. You ain't heard the real screaming unless you go back to his open air concerts. There were barriers and police holding them back. They were fainting, throwing their underwear at him, tearing his clothes off. This screaming ain't nothing at the side of what it was & on the Merl show.

After song women are pregnant 😂

Watch him sing in the ghetto .. he eas dirt poor, lived in one of 4 houses for white people in a black neighbourhood .. he knows about the ghetto. 'This time you gave me a mountain' was a song from his concert that was broadcast by satellite to over a billion people. Michael Javkson had nothing on Elvis, I'm sorry, but he was a more modern & recent era than Elvis .. if Elvis had been around, Michael wouldn't have stood a chance. His music was mainly productions, he had auto ad libs, every bit of engineering equipment available. He could not have stood on a stage alone with such presence. He even used some of Elvis's dance moves. I don't want to diss him rip but he was a bit weird, the skin bleaching, plastic surgery, walking around with a a cover on him .. and he could go out. Elvis couldn't. His life was in Graceland .. listen to the diversity of his voice, the notes he can hit, baritone, verbato, also remember, he died aged 42, that's not old, how old are your parents kid? You're really understanding & learning a lot that you had misunderstood, by not knowing. There are places in 2021 social media, mobile phones .. some people can't help sitting on their arse all day, not through laziness but illness. You'll learn as you get older. You're a good lad and reactor. Do you know how many songs he did? It was 700! Keep up the good work xx ❤
