What should I react to next?
Have you seen the movie Elvis? If not I highly recommend you watch ASAP
an american trilogy
Omg you need to react to Voice Play featuring Home Free Survivor Zombies vs Hillbillies. So good and HILARIOUS!!!
React to dragonforce through the fire and the flames amazeballs guitarist if you ever played guitar hero you should know
I promise if you go to Junna, Through the fire and flames, by dragon Force. Her drum solo will blow your mind. Prove me wrong Adam.
He was very sick and had many illnesses especially insomnia. Many medications for each. Had a blockage in his intestine and it caused a heart attack. He took a lot of prescribed drugs and nobody helped, just watched him at 42 years old die. This man's private life was a horror and he shut down by 1976. His persona was still amazing and he was loved as a singer. I was hooked on him at 8 years of age and I love his music more than ever. He is truly the king of rockin roll
He embodied the American Dream and his generosity is unmatched. He belonged to his fans and he lives forever with his fans hearts. There are several new generations of Elvis Presley Fans still being born today and is one of the most successful artists dead and alive after 40 years of his passing.
He was sick. This was his last performance before he died.He was not well and yet he sang his heart out to his audience. It brings tears 😢 into my eyes.
was this the 26? his last 3 were June 19 Omaha, Nebraska; June 21 Rapid City, So. Dakota; June 26 Indianapolis
@@carolhayar3037 This is the Rapid City concert. He did a few more nights before his death.
@@philmathias since rapid city was june 21st & he died aug. 16th that is WEEKS before his death, you said nights before, so i don't know what you mean
This was not his last song.
@@carolhayar3037You are correct. This performance was exactly 8 weeks before his death.
Elvis Presley deserves RESPECT and LOVE.
He literally died 2 months after this. He was a dying man on that stage. And he still performed a miracle. Amazing how he's like struggling to talk and catch his breath but as soon as he start singing it's like a flip switches.
My beautiful Elvis. This was 6 weeks before he passed. Rest in Peace. Always loved
He passed away 6 weeks after this concert. His voice was strong to the very end!!
It makes me mad when you don't know what you are reacting to because you didn't read the comments
This performance was on June 21, 1977. Elvis passed away on August 16, 1977. This performance was 8 weeks before his death
To me, his voice is the best ever! He is in 5 (genre) Music Hall of Fame, 5! HIs life story is amazing. Like Elvis won a Lifetime Achievement Award at 36 yrs old. Recommend seeing the movie. Thank you for sharing his music to those who may not have heard.
Oh that magical voice....Bless his memory❤
Elvis found world wide fame in 1956 when he was 21 years old with his exceptional one of a kind talent in singing and his unique dance style which was controversial for the time. He was drafted into the army in 58 for 2 years and had to pause his career and go to Germany. He was treated like just one of the lads in the service and was even promoted to sergeant. When he returned from his military service at 25 years old he had a successful career in Hollywood making in total 33 movies including 2 documentaries of him on stage performing. Most of the movies these days except for a handful (the main 2 being jailhouse rock and king creole) are seen as bad but they made money and Elvis was the highest paid actor in hollywood so his manager stuck to that formula as unsatisfied and unfulfilled as Elvis was with the quality of the movies that he was churning out 3 a year! In 1969 he decided it was time to get back into live performing and so he did so for the rest of his life touring the states, but not Europe etc as his manager was an illegal immigrant from holland and was worried if he travelled with Elvis overseas he wouldn't be allowed back in the county. So unfortunately Elvis never got to tour outside the US. Sorry to ramble on but Elvis had a very fascinating life. 👌
Elvis was sick
Its heartbreaking watching this
He poured his heart and soul into this performance
He knew he was close to the end
What a shame
Elvis put everyine first instead of himself
A legend to the very end
The G.O.A.T., no need to say anything else, KING ELVIS.
He’s considered the king of rock ‘n roll. Elvis was very unwell at this point, and spiraling. He had numerous health problems and was addicted to prescription medication, which is evident in his speech. What is astonishing is that he was able to belt out that incredible cover of Unchained Melody given his state. 6 weeks later he was gone.
He didn't want to let his fans down and actually performed this when he had so many health issues! There was and never will be another Elvis! He still is the G.O.A.T!!!
You need to see Elvis the 68 comeback 'If I Can Dream' where Elvis is in a white suit on a dark Soundstage in front of his name in red lights. The song was preformed shortly after Martin Luther King JR. and Robert Kennedy were killed. I've been around for many years of Elvis and this is my favorite all time, just as impactful every time I watch it. You will be blown away. Elvis was not a big drinker. When he first started out he toured around the south on what was called the Louisiana Hayride, it was a circuit of venues, not an actual hayride. He was touring with Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and others not so famous. These guys were prescribed duet pills (speed) so they were wide awake to preform and could get from town to town without falling asleep. They pretty much did a different venue every day 5 or 6 days a week. Well, when you are living your life on uppers it's pretty difficult to actually get any decent sleep, so they were also prescribed downers. This was the early 50's so prescribed pills were looked at as safe. Elvis lived on those prescription drugs until he died. He was off them for 2 years while in the army, but that was it. Elvis hated drugs BTW, the 60's drug culture pissed him off, a lot. Elvis didn't consider himself an addict because his drugs were prescribed. Another aspect of his health was being overworked. Col. Parker was an ASSHOLE. He worked Elvis into the ground and took most of his income while he was at it. He hired Elvis' personnel, travel everywhere with him, Doctor. Dr. Nick, he shoveled pills down Elvis' throat at the direction of Col. Parker. The song you just reacted to was, I believe, from the last show Elvis did. He hadn't been feeling well for a couple of years and unfortunately he started eating the comfort foods that he loved as a child. We Southerners fry a lot of food and Elvis soothed himself with a lot of comfort food, it's a big part of the weight gain, the other part was Col. Parkers gambling debt. Any complaints Elvis had health wise were swept under the rug, after all, Dr. Nick pretty much worked for Parker, not Elvis. Elvis was suffering from heart disease and the effects of taking hardcore drugs daily for 25 years. He never should have been allowed to get into such horrible shape. He died too young, 42 was just too young. He had so much more to give. The man was humble, kind, generous, loved his fans, and had perfect pitch. No one can sing like Elvis, he was one of a kind. Saw him in Vegas, he sang his ass off. Hope this answers some of your questions.....
he was half way into death here and performed perfectly
He died like 6 weeks after this performance, he was in alot of pain and taking alot of pills so he could hardly talk at times but when he starts to sing this song its pure elvis at his best even before his death...amazing nothing ever like him
This performance was June 21, 1977. Elvis passed away on August 16, 1977. He died 8 weeks after this concert
Love his little smile. What a legend. 🙏
You can tell how much he loved his fans even though he was ill he sang his heart out many artists today would cancel a show because they have a little cold
He was sick and passed soon after. In this song his God given talent came shining through.
Yes Elvis Presley is an Angel of the Lord.
What really kills me is how fast he went downhill. Elvis was at the top of the world from 1968-73. He was fit, energetic, owned the stage with every performance, and owned the world at that time. Then you can start to see him get heavier toward the end of '73 after the Aloha from Hawaii special. Those last 4 years were unbearable to watch, but yet he never lost his voice.
He had a manager who drove him into an early grave by keeping him locked into his personal contract and not letting Elvis do what he wanted, assisted by a quack of a doctor who pumped him full of "prescription" barbiturates (many of which have since been removed from legal medical use by the FDA) who ultimately lost his license to practice medicine after Elvis' autopsy came out, compounded by his increased reclusiveness and bad diet.
This particular concert was filmed professionally by CBS, as they were with him on this tour filming cuts from each show that was going to be aired in September of 1977 on CBS as a 1 hour Elvis live special. They ultimate did air it, with an added message at the beginning from Vernon, Elvis' Dad.
No, he did not drink at all, but he was taking a lot of prescribed medications for a large list of health problems toward the last year of his life 1977. He actually wasn't as heavy as he appeared, although the late night show always poke fun at his bad eating habits, which is true. If you check just a few months prior photos of him in Hawaii playing football, so the gear he wore toward the end, bulletproof vest, and the bloating made him look big. The meds sometimes interfered with his speech, but not singing voice.
Still makes me sob. I was driving on the Houston freeway when i heard he'd died. I had to stop, and i wasn't the only one. He was a beautiful human. Please do more of his songs. When you feel all frisky do a movie or two.
I was at work, with the radio turned down low, when I heard of Elvis' death. It was a very sad day.
Thank God for ELVIS ❤️ 👑👑
He was ill...
He passed the following month...
But he still brought it to the table, and served it up hot like only Elvis could
This concert was June 21, 1977. Elvis passed away August 16, 1977. This was 8 weeks before his death.
He was the best!!!❤️✝️
Elvis still has the greatest voice to ever sing.. Elvis never wrote his own songs but maybe 1-2 but Elvis made every song better then the original..Elvis's body failed him but the voice only got stronger up till end.. He died 6 weeks after this just days before he was to go back out on the road for another string of concerts
He also changed lyrics, instrumentation, rythm, intonation etc on most songs. Also many song writers, wrote songs to Elvis with him in mind.
In 6 weeks, he would be gone. We all loved him and we all knew he was sadly spiraling down hill. We all love and still miss him!!!
Amazing! There’s no artists like that today!
This song was originally recorded for a movie in the late 40s or early 50s. Many have covered this song before Elvis.
Elvis had heart problems from prescription drug abuse. He had so much water weight gain. You can tell he was in poor health due to drug abuse, look at his teeth. This is an absolutely heartbreaking performance. We lost a truly great performer, amazing voice, charisma, pure talent. Breaks my heart.
Great reaction! As others have said, Elvis was very sick here and would pass away in just 6 weeks. He still had "it" though. If you're up for more Elvis, I recommend 'Trying To Get To You' from the 68 Comeback special.
this song was made for a movie called Unchained and was originally done by Todd Duncan for the soundtrack of the film. with that being said , the Righteous Brothers did do this song before Elvis. Elvis was my grandpas favorite and my grandpa raised me so I was very excited for this video Adam lol. Also a fun fact that isnt very fun lol Elvis passed away 56 days after this performance. I highly suggest An American Trilogy. RIP to the KING !
2 months before death sad end one of greatest singer ever to grace this earth
He was ill at that time. He passed away 6 weeks after his concert
Great to hear someone from home doing a reaction to Elvis!! If you want a choice to choose from … If I can dream; Trying to get to you (68 special); long black limousine (his funeral); Polk salad Annie; suspicious minds (1970 version)… also ‘trouble’ (1958 version in movie King Creole)… incredible!! good luck choosing… all are awesome 😊
🎸🎸🎶🎶This was the Kings last performance🎶🎶🎸🎸♥♥RIP Elivis.
was this June 26th? that was his last
Elvis was addicted to prescription pills. He had a bad diet and a bunch of yea men around him. The drugs caused his system to slow down, this the last couple of yrs of his life, he was in considerable pain. He was way before the Jackson’s. He was ahead of his time. A kind man with a charitable heart. He helped everyone he could,but he couldn’t help himself
So Elvis actually never drank alcohol. He was only six small weeks away from dying here. Elvis was on his deathbed basically. His body was heavily inflamed because he had a disease which was very rare and doctors didn’t know how to handle it so they pumped him full of prescription narcotics. Those narcotics, and lack of sleep from a hectic work schedule probably caused his fatal heart attack. His diet was poor at the end so that didn't help either. The perfect storm sadly happened on August 16, 1977 he was found unresponsive from a massive heart attack they tried to revive him to no avail. Elvis‘s voice was getting better as his body was shutting down.... his organs were 2 to 3 times larger and was in tremendous pain during this concert.
What a load of crap, He did drink and occasionally smoked, You say His body was heavily inflamed because he had a disease which was very rare and doctors didn’t know how to handle it so they pumped him full of prescription narcotics? He paid Doctors George Nichopoulos and Elias Ghanem very well with Cars, Homes, Expensive Jewllery for almost unlimited access to prescription And he was a chronic insomniac since childhood, If youre going to spout facts at least make sure they are real facts and not facts you've conjured up to make this Beautiful yet flawed man sound Perfect.
What you are seeing here is what fame and prescription drugs to deal with it did to Mr Presley.
He was a prescription drug addict here, that was his excuse, they were prescribed and not street, so that made it ok, and died of a drug overdose, which is widely recognised now. His last few years were hell, doing the same concerts singing the same songs with no let up from Parker and no change for his future, he was a spontaneous man who got bored easily and was telling those round him he didn't want to be Elvis Presley anymore and the awful life he had, no life, and was becoming a recluse, he wanted to be ordinary with an ordinary life, something he could never have.
As Martin Sheen said in an interview "Nobody knew what to do with him, he was in a box and couldn't get out" only one way out.
Its obvious here, he's completely out of it, and not because of a rare illness as you've put it. If he couldn't get them from Dr Nick he went to another Dr, he had quite a few, even his dentist for strong painkillers, by the way his colon was blocked by white residue from the huge amount of strong painkillers he took.
Have you ever seen a healthy drug addict?
As for the never drinking alcohol, there's actually a video on here of him in front of the audience with a cocktail in his hand, obviously on something, with the audience looking very uncomfortable, and smoked.
The only thing that would have made his life any different was his beloved mother living longer, she died at the age of 46 of sclerosis of the liver, she was an alcoholic.
He was found unresponsive, he'd been dead for hours, surrounded by tablets and syringes on his bathroom floor, and this from one of his close entourage on camera.
Elvis Presley didn't stand a chance, the ruination of a beautiful human being inside and out, by his mega stardom and the greed of Parker to fund his gambling addiction.
God bless him ❤
@@jennywren7822
Yes, you are absolutely right with everything!
He had his demons like all of us!
He made mistakes like all of us!
And he made wrong decisions like all of us!
And in my opinion all that makes him even more human.
And i also think that his life would have been different if he had had his mother by his side longer. 💞
And i absolutely agree when it comes to Colonel Parker!
@@alameas6358
She was the only one he listened to, and for a start off he'd have got rid of Parker years before, she couldnt stand him, and nobody could say no to Elvis, except his mother
Well he's with her now if there is an after life, and a lot happier than he was here..
@@jennywren7822
I hope so!
Hawaii show. 1 billion plus watching around the world.
Autopsy showed he was extremely constipated and had nearly three months of waste stuck in him, on top of a horrible diet, insomnia and frequent drug abuse for the pain and lack of sleep. He was way ahead of his time, but he paved the way for the future of music in America
Damn, that’s so sad!
I seen Elvis in Saint Louis in 1976 and it was a great show he always gave his all. Gone too soon.
I don't know what it is about the portion of the verse that goes "to the sea, to the sea" that gets me, but man it really gets me.
Miracle he performed his last performance when his organs slowy shuts down
Actually the brothers sung it before Elvis,. But their version is a cover of the original from the 50s
This was so sad. Just before his death and way to many drugs. I cry every time
So sad 🥲
This makes me so very sad to see the condition he was in right before he passed and yet he gave it all he had till the end- "What was Elvis Presley's cause of death? Elvis Presley died at 42-years-old following drug abuse. Doctors said he died of a heart attack, likely brought on by his addiction to prescription barbiturates."
So sad 😭
@@AdamCouserMusic I think his diet contributed more to his heart attack then the pills he took...jmho
❤
He would've died regardless unfortunately, being constipated for months with no stool softener working, on top insomnia and horrible diet.
@@brutishwing2.090 According to his Dr that's really what brought on EP's heart attack, ''straining at stool''....
Amazing my man...new fan! 🤜🤛💪
I love you so much Adam ♥️ 💗 thank you for this video 💜 made me sad 😔 knowing that less than 2 months later he would pass away but he left a rich legacy for his fans, friends and family 🤗 stay well sweetheart 💙
Bout ye, big lad ? Greetings from out the Ormeau.
Great reaction to an all time classic.
Do you know Van (the man) Morrison? The audio version of his song “Orangefield” (about the district he grew up in, in East Belfast) is brilliant.
Cheers. ✌️
Just to let you know that added to his multiple health problems was a lung condition similar to asthma for which he used an inhaler -- so how he got through this is unbelievable.
I like the song clean up your own backyard from the movie trouble with girls
He was dead 6 weeks later. This is still hard to watch. We hadn’t seen him in a while and it was shocking. To everyone . He was like family to us and we LOVED him without measure or reservation.
Elvis passed away almost 8 weeks after this show. Hw died of a heart attack. He had many health problems.
Very sick 6 weeks before his dratj
He was just weeks from death here.
Damn, really?
@@AdamCouserMusic this was June 21st(?) or June 26th(?) -- he passed Aug. 16th
was Elvis one of the biggest pop stars you ask, thats like asking if Jupiter is one of the biggest planets. They dont come any bigger than Elvis. the rest of the music industry orbited around Planet Elvis.
Elvis didn’t drink or smoke. He did like his cigarillos though but didn’t inhale them. Throughout his life he was plagued with many health issues and therefore was prescribed a lot of medications.
this before he died couple of month imagine he cant breath and he sing this good
He was dying and knew it. His heart was giving out, thus the struggle to catch breath. He died six weeks after this.
This was from his last concert right before he passed.
if this is June 21st it is not his last; his last 3 were June 19 Omaha, Nebraska; June 21 Rapid City, So. Dakota; June 26 Indianapolis
this was only two months before he died, but his voice was still amazing right to the end
Right before he died. Breaks my heart to see him that fucked up.
Did you notice the sad look of concern on the faces of the young lades...?
This was close if not the last Concert of Elvis he passed away just weeks after this
Elvis wasn’t well when this was recorded. This was filmed two months before his death
sad vert sad he is trying so so hard full addiction enlarged heart twisted colon but his love he had for his fans and that voice god gave him never left right till the end dead 5 weeks later home you go E YOUR WORK IS DONE GOOD JOB REST NOW
You are right. Elvis wasn’t healthy here. Approximately 2 miles before he passes away from drug abuse, but damn he was still belting it out.
If no one has mentioned it yet, you should react to Elvis’ In the Ghetto
less than 2 months before he passed
i cry watching this video because last
he was realy sick at this time
You have to go see the "Elvis" movie and it will help show you his amazing career and his down fall.
He died 6 weeks after this concert! He was very ill!
Two months after this he passed
6 weeks before his death I believe.
Crazy😭
If you want to hear what his voice could really do, go to ua-cam.com/video/QhYtB7pjkS0/v-deo.html for "Tomorrow Never Comes" - hardly ever requested - starts out slow but builds to a loud, powerful finish that could blow you off your seat; bear in mind, Elvis had a lung condition similar to asthma & used an inhaler, so Lord knows how he got through this concert is unbelievable!
IMO the best and worst thing to ever happen to Elvis was Tom Parker.
That was song on 21/6/1977 . One of his last performance. A month later he passed away for drug that doctor nick and Tom Parker shoved down his neck for years. Saying they would help him and make him the best shape of his life. All they did was kill him
He was the 1st superstar. As John Lennon said, before Elvis. There was nothing.
Drinking was not the cause of his demise
Elvis loves only a few things in his live. In the row ... singing, Gladys (his Mom), Pricilla, Lisa Marie and his Horses. After he loose these ones one by one he was left alone only with his music. He dies with a broken heart. At the end he needs medics to do what was only left for him. Showing the world the talent he have ... it was a tragic live.
Unchained Melody" is a 1955 song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret
Thanks man!
All Answers About Elvis is on Wikipedia and You Tube also music.
Elvis at this time was heavily into taking pills and his diet wasn't good either, but he still could sing his heart out as evidence by this video. Now the song itself was written in 1955 by Alex North and Hy Zaret. They were written for a movie called Unchained and it was originally performed on that movie's soundtrack by Todd Duncan who was a African American baritone Opera singer, which for that time period was a big deal. Nowadays, why add the African American part ya know, but Duncan was the fist to record the song. The Righteous Brothers recorded it ion 1965. It was one of the top recorded songs of the 20th century, having been recorded in five different decades, 50s-90s. Elvis's version was recorded just months before his death in 1977.
In the 1950s the song was a big hit for Al HIbler, and for Roy Hamilton. I suspect that Elvis didn't start singing it until after Roy Hamilton passed away.
@@carolcliff5150 It was also done to great success by The Righteous Brothers, beginning in 1965, of which their version was used in the movie Ghost, and is my favorite version
This is from June 21st 1977 exactly 56 days (8 weeks not 6 as many will say) before he died. You can see he has difficulty even breathing. Unfortunately the audio quality does not do justice to the performance.
The version is closer to the earlier Roy Hamilton's than than the Righteous Brothers'.
Apparently he never touched drink ❤
He was in a lot of pain and took heavy duty pain killers
He sadly died 2 months later 😔🙏
It’s not that he didn’t really drink, he Drank nothingh! He did not like Alkohol.
Assista ao filme...
He never drink
This was his last performance ever
Throughout 1976-77 he came close to dying three times, as early as February 1977 a shot of adrenaline was punched into his heart to resuscitate him, this performance was in June 77 and he died 6 weeks later, the man should've been in hospital not on stage singing his heart out.
Unfortunately, Elvis was high.. never drank. But was a drug addict.. this was I believe 1 month before he died
Died shortly after
He is 6 weeks away from death
The sad part is that he died in front of us, and nobody care; the music industry has a big part in his demised
Ive got a song. Man of constant sorrow by soggy bottom boys i believe. From movie o brother where art thou random but i think youll love it Adam.
Ive been binge watching you saw the acappela verson but still check out movie version
He died that same August.-2 months later
music wise. watch steely dan
