Performing with Two backup groups, an orchestra, a full band and no ear piece, no lip sync, no auto-tune, just a true performance, by a pure and timeless talent.

Remember fellas not only real musicians but also no auto tune just straight talent. People often comment on him sweating during his performances but you can see why. Elvis always gave 100%. thank you very much.

Elvis is duelling with his drummer, he really made Ronnie Tutt earn his money!

I wish the artists we had today performed and entertained like this! I am a generational Elvis fan...my grandma, my mom, huge fans and passed that down. This has always been my fav Elvis song, great reaction! 🔥❤🔥❤

@@p.j.morris633 PJ ,I do not disagree. He said the last few were honorary belts. Ginger has his 9th. WHAt I know is Charlie said and his maid said etc that Elvis cried the night before the ceremony because he did not want to get married but the Colonel tricked him into it. You say you knew him 10 years. As an Elvis fan, I like hearing about him from those he loved and trusted. How were you fortunate enough to know him? Three things ..if you would share..did he want the divorce? or was he depressed over it. My opinion is he wanted his freedom but he was embarrassed by her flaunting another man in front of the world. Another question is did he want her back? My opinion is no. Finally, did he know he would die soon? Referencing what he told you would help a lot. Thanks, PJ. I know you say you get ridiculed but Elvis fans deserve the truth after all that Elvis hating and lies are everywhere.

“Polk Salad Annie” , live in Vegas is another great Elvis performance. No one like him.

Elvis the greatest performer and singer ever

Elvis is the greatest Ever or Ever will be

And that , gentlemen , is old school entertainment and why he will always be known as the " king " (even though he hated that title ... a very religious man , he believed Jesus was the only king ) !! Yes, I'm old enough to have seen him in person ... that voice , that face , and that kind , loving soul will never be forgotten !

Let's just take a sec to appreciate the freaking stamina here lol! Imagine performing like this every night for weeks during a full concert that lasted for years. He worked his ass off for his fans! ❤❤

In Vegas always 2 shows a day for a month, 8p dinner show, 12am the midnight show. Then when he was out on the road it would be 2 concerts a day. And on this im not saying it was right or good but I can see why, too keyed up after a concert, so sleeping pills to help sleep and then uppers to get going the next day, unfortunately Elvis always thought "hmmm, 2 pills can make me sleep" let's see if I take 4/8/12 at a time I'll really be knocked out

Biggest artist ever ever🙏

I'll tell you a memory of Elvis, I was with my mother at a Dr's appointment, she was in with the doc, and I was in the waiting room, they announced over the speaker that Elvis Presley had died, everyone in the office began to cry and wail, I was just a kid, and didn't know what was happening. When my mom came out crying, I said: "Mom, who was Elvis Presley?" She said: "The best-looking man that ever lived. So, for years I thought that is what he was famous for. There was a lot more to Elvis than an entertainer, look up 'the Elvis train and how that happened. Or the songs in 'the ghetto. ' Or "If I can dream." He lived a great life.

The greatest artist ever!

My man Elvis beautiful inside and out

When he and his drummer get going look out! He was and is the man...

His drummer the late and great Ronnie Tutt said that he had to watch Elvis closely because he was directing the band with his movements and that it was like watching a stripper.

The king.

He must of said I’m caught in a tramp over a thousand times but I still would of watch it if he said it over a billion times, that’s why he’s the king. They’ll never be another! Amazing!

I'm not old enough to have been in the crowd but I am nearly 60 years old and sell this stuff was on TV and the radio all the time. And the older I get and I'm also a musician and that is played live in lots of bands. I truly start to understand the genius that that guy was. He was basically a goofball but he had all the goods to back it up and it was a tremendous experience. Thank you for bringing light on to this.

Elvis and the Sweet Inspirations!! I love it!

ICON but always humble.

Elvis used to ad-lib in his live shows. When he said, "Shove it up your nose" (he was looking at someone), the line was really, "Try to say hello".

Elvis never had a set play list. His musicians had to be ready to play whatever song he decided to sing. I love your reactions.

JD Sumner & The Stamps did not join Elvis until November 1971. The male backing vocalists in this performance are the legendary gospel group, the Imperials, founded by one of Elvis’ favourite singer, Jake Hess.

My one brother is correct❗ He mentioned - "the lady's voices given it up". That's the legendary #SweetInspirations backing Elvis up here. The Sweet Inspirations were considered the premiere soulful backing group in the industry at that time. They backed up Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin many other greats. He was on point for recognizing their great voice is on lock. Side note trivia involving another Legend here - this was one of #JimiHendrix favorite Elvis jams. His friend (journalist Sharon Lawrence) said when this Elvis song came on the radio back in the day Jimi would "shush" everybody around him, and crank up the volume on radio singing along with Elvis on Suspicious Minds. RIP to them Both Jimi & EP

I have a lot of Elvis reaction and you guys are the first ones that picked up that Elvis was in control of the band with his movements especially with the drummer as she gets out I was had a lot of fun on stage that was his home if you want try Polk salad Annie you'll get a big kick out of that one or Love me tender live in Vegas if you want to see a player play I enjoy it thank you

Elvis and Ronnie Tutt an explosive duo.

That's right. She really only sang backup for a brief time before taking time off to raise her family. I think it was only a few months. The Sweet Inspirations was the name of their group. They had their own career but when Elvis called about a concert tour or Vegas performance, they dropped everything and were there to sing backup for Elvis.

Elvis had asthma, besides other health problems - listen to his 1977 concert of Unchained Melody, 6 weeks before he passed away & hear, w-the asthma, how his voice didn't fail him - all live, no mechanical help.

Great reaction! would love to see you react to Elvis- Bridge over troubled water live in Vegas 170

Elvis did move to the beat but his band really followed his movements. They really had to watch him every second because they never knew what he was going to do. Great reaction. He was the king for a reason. I agree with the previous comment...there was no auto tune back then you had to have it and EP always had it. I can't wait to see your other Elvis reactions.

Back in the mid 50s there was no censorship so when he performed on the Ed Sulliven show the cameras showed only his upper body because the way he moved his hips. Parents were all upset about the way he was dancing. Hahaha..was called "Elvis the Pelvis"

E was showing out.Elvis had a damn good band and backup singers

To tell truth The complete band followed everything he did they watched him every move he made Guitar's, Drums, orchestra everyone watched Elvis and did what he did he did not watch them he was the conductor

I watched a video tonight where Elvis met Muhammad Ali..Elvis had the guy who made his jumps suits make Ali a Robe..The guy who makes Elvis's jump suits said that some of the suits Elvis wore weighed up to 50lbs.

The "shove it up your nose" line isn't actually part of the lyrics. Elvis would throw in different funny ad lib lines to see if we would catch them. Elvis was a notorious practical joker. That's why the lady in his back up singers was backing away when he walked towards her. She knew he was up to something but he still got her anyway...lol.

Whitney Houston's Mother, Cissy was with the Sweet Inspirations for a while and did perform with Elvis but decided to go home and take care of her children

I never laughed so hard. You guys made me laugh a side splitting laugh so hard I haven't had in so long and needed so very much. I never knew Elvis was such a Chippendale dancer.
