  • I was 15 in Australia when my idol died. I literally stayed in my bed and cried for 2 weeks, missing 1 week of school and then it was school holidays. I was certain I would cry every day for the rest of my life. Your reactions to the great man are outstanding. 💕🇦🇺
  • From a trio band, at Sun Studio, to a sixteen piece, Vegas show Band...again Elvis kicked in all the doors.

    You would absolutely love EP doing You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling from this concert. EP does Motown. 👑✌️
  • @roadhog4582
    In my opinion this was his best vocal performance.
  • @kathys7295
    I’m loving your Elvis reactions. You put in words what I feel and experience but don’t often have the words to express

    In an interview, Paul Simon (who wrote the song) said that Elvis's version was the best of all of them. He also said: "I've lost my song to Elvis." Can't get better praise than that.

    Thanks for sharing Elvis. He is such a great singer. His band that consisted of Ronnie Tutt, drummer; Jerry Schef, bass; James Burton and John Wilkinson, guitar, and Glenn Hardin, piano were fantastic musicians. Most of them played with Elvis until his death. ❤
  • You certainly had some wonderful insights into the magnificence of Elvis and his performances. Great comments and reaction. This is a vocal and visual masterpiece. ❤❤❤

    Hi Mike Whitney houston's mother was a back up singer for elvis and sitting right behind him. She said in an interview that elvis took good care of jis back up singers paying them 65,000 per year with Benny's and that was way beck then equivelent to now days around 250,000. So he was very generous.
  • My compliments on your channel, I only watch Elvis reactions and there are many out there, but only a few seem the real deal and even fewer add valuable insights to me. You sir, are at the top here, thank you for the way you do this it adds even more magic to my "Elvis World" :)

    hi please do "what now my love" but make sure its the *rehearsal* show from aloha from hawaii 1973 thank you for showing elvis so much love i really appreciate your analysis!
  • Stunning performance! This is my first time to your channel. Just subscribed, so great reaction! If you're looking for another Elvis reaction, check out his amazing performance of 'I Just Can't Help Believin' from 1970.
  • Wow is right! Every time I watch this I can't help but wonder what little thing caused him to look over his right shoulder (7:08) towards where Charlie Hodge stood. On occasion you would see him glance over to his right or left w-a slightly irritated look if he picked up on something that displeased him --- something that we out here couldn't possibly know about, but everything just rolled right along so smoothly.
