@@jjs777fzr the manager was not thinking more about Elvis , had his thoughts on gambling a good manager would have spent money on filming more concerts for fans to buy copies on 16 mm film ?
People can say what they want to about Elvis, all the negative comments and such. But after watching this along with many other performances throughout his career, you will see there was and never will be another performer with such electricity and magnetism. Sure Elvis had bad gigs as well, but a bad Elvis concert is still 100 times better than many of the singers/bands today. RIP Elvis, your legend will never die.
This is without any doubt one of the BEST CONCERTS from the Rock Era! Not from Elvis alone, but from the Rock Era. No Stones, Who, Zeppelin, Kiss, Bowie, Elton John... could touch him! Just bow to the KING everyone!! OUTSTANDING AND BRUTAL.
Absolutely! Elvis looks happy and singing was spot on and his playfulness. Eight months and seventeen days he would leave us. Elvis looks fantastic here, how did everything change so fast. The BEST concert ever! Elvis♡
What a fantastic performance. Where's the fat incoherent Elvis just over 7 months before he died. His voice is amazing, he looks great and the variety of songs is excellent. If any proof is necessary that he was the greatest solo performer pop music has ever produced this is it. Thank you so much.
@ElvisSung He was addicted to prescription pain medication, you make it sound as if he was a coke or heroin addict. Yes, the pills did take their toll on him, but he wasn’t obesely overweight, it was abdominal bloating that made him appear bigger than he was. And if I’m not mistaken, I believe you can just make out when you see him from the rear, he’s wearing a bulletproof vest, which also made him appear bigger. But here, he wasn’t bloated and looked great.
@ElvisSung Oh, absolutely agree with you that prescription pills, of the kind Elvis was abusing, ie, opiates, antihistamines, tranquillisers, barbiturates, sleeping pills, are every bit as addictive, if not more, than heroin, I wasn’t disputing that. It was just the way it seemed to me you were portraying him as being in the same bracket as a heroin addict. Yes, the addiction is the same, but any other comparison stops there, heroin addicts become addicts because they start using it recreationally, whereas Elvis’ addiction was borne out of necessity through no fault of his own, to treat underlying medical conditions, and for his chronic insomnia that he suffered from his whole life. And apologies, the obesity reference wasn’t meant to be directed at you, as you quite correctly didn’t even mention it. It was an afterthought to negate the way Elvis was and is still being perceived as being this overweight, recluse in the final months of his life. It was really in reference to what the original poster stated. I realise now, I should have made a separate comment about it.
@ElvisSung I only know from what I was taught in school that some use it experimentally, having used other drugs, to experience the high of heroin and feeling of the euphoria after. That’s what I meant by recreationally, wrong turn of phrase! If then they do it to self-medicate, for whatever reason, it still cannot be put in the same bracket as someone who has their medication legally prescribed by a doctor. And wow, sorry to hear you’re a recovering addict yourself but well done that you’ve stayed off it. I’m assuming, having worked in pharmacy, that you’ve been on a methadone programme ever since instead?
At 31:30 when you can sea a guy with a bell, abd saying happy birthday, new year, and bicentanial day, it s incredible ! Elvis is very huble, very human person !
This is Elvis at his absolute BEST! He should not have passed 8 months later! Elvis played here in San Antonio 1976 the day before the Infamous Houston show. My mom was supposed to go and see him but couldn’t get off of work because all of her coworkers went to see The King. He died one month before my 10th birthday. His death affected me deeply and it still hurts to this day.
I am 50 years old and an Elvis fan since the early 1970's. Elvis will always be the greatest entertainer of all time and the one and only king of music. I love this brilliant concert and never get tired of watching it. I love all of Elvis's songs and films and documentaries and concerts. Elvis's magic and charisma and his incredible voice never failed him. Elvis the king forever.
Same here amazing it went so fast it was 1972 and stay away Joe on Saturday afternoon and it was love at 1st site plus aloha in 1973 and those famous TV commercials in Oct 73 and the movie song album in 1976 yah can still see them on you tube just saw them last night nice to see but also very humbling if yah know what I mean let's have a good 2023 elvis fans new old and very old love yah all.
The King moved & danced more in this concert (8 months before he died) than he did in the Aloha Concert (almost 4 years earlier) which gets me thinking.......
If only this had been recorded as the tv special - his weight was good here, he looked healthy, in a great mood and totally in control. Thanks for putting the sound and vision together for this, the best version of this concert that's available.
I want to know which dingbat at CBS figured they’d wait until summer 77 to film a special. They obviously didn’t do their research on his latest appearances. At minimum they could’ve warned him ahead of time and let him prepare, lose weight, etc.
bloody Parker why didn't he do this one, he looks and sounds fab and in a great mood. that's the thing, the press always pick up him when he isn't feeling very well but this shows him brilliantly and glad we have some footage, I love the Amen, sing it Charlie, sing it baby, sing everyone The King and always will be ❤❤❤❤❤
@@MultiScoopedquando decidiram realizar o Aloha from Hawaii em 73, quase cometeram o mesmo erro do Elvis in Concert 1977. Diferença primordial foi que em novembro de 1972 o diretor Marty Paseta assistiu os shows de Elvis no Havaí e observou tudo que poderia ser melhorado, do visual e condição física de Elvis até o cenário e luzes. Isso motivou Elvis e a equipe em se preparar para os shows em janeiro de 1973, inclusive com um concerto de ensaio dia 12. Para o especial de 1977 não tiveram esse cuidado, colocaram muitas luzes quentes iluminando as arenas e o próprio Elvis realmente não se preparou. Você observa o show em Omaha dia 19 e ele estava muito nervoso e entorpecido, quando entra no ritmo o show já está perto do final e o show em Rápid City bem melhor. Sem a iluminação os demais shows seguintes foram bem melhores, inclusive o último show em Indianápolis. Como sempre uma série de escolhas erradas e a edição final do especial pela CBS foi desastrosa. Talvez esse material devidamente editado traria um melhor resultado final. Os shows da turnê de dezembro de 1976 foram ótimos
Absolutely amazing. One of his best performances ever and he was said to be in decline during these years. Not so much. This is why he's The King and always will reign as such.
It's been 45 years since. Elvis passed. To this day. October of 2021 Elvis music and songs are still going strong. WHY BECAUSE ELVIS IS THE NEST WAS THE BEST AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST. EVER AND ALWAYS. THANK YOU. ELVIS FOR YOUR MUSIC AND SONGS. SO BEAUTIFUL FROM A BEAUTIFUL MAN WITH A AMAZING VOICE AND BEAUTIFUL SMILE. WISJ YOU WERE STILL WITH US. GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN EVER
@52:30, during Polk Salad Annie, this shows why Ronnie Tutt was the perfect drummer for Elvis! Elvis loved the way Ronnie would read his moves! Ronnie Tutt was very underrated as the anchor of Elvis' whole musical experience!
The King in great shape and at the top of his game. It's a shame this wasn't a TV special. If it would've been then maybe those uneducated cretins wouldn't always put the letters f a t in front of Elvis' name.
Elvis last New Years concert nobody knews what's happend few month later it was so sadly unbelievable he was in a good mood so humbled and funny his voice so strong and lovely ❤️ 👌 🙏 😭 🙌RIP Elvis
At the Time of this Concert I was Nine years old and a Huge Elvis Fan. I Remember All his Music. The Day Elvis passed I Remember Listening To His Albums. My Mom was crying and the News was Reporting His Death. I Couldn’t Believe The King Was Gone. Long live Elvis. Thanks for the Memories thanks for the Good Times. God Bless The King of Rock-N-Roll.
This shows that Elvis didn't lose his magic.....this is fantastic and Elvis' voice is strong and glorious ! He is having such a great time ! ! ! Got to see him perform his magic three times ! There will never be another that can touch his magical talent ! ! !The echo will never die ! I !
Anastasios Dimtsis the director of the Aloha special wanted him to just sing songs and that’s it. Even Elvis didn’t want to much funny business on TV. Especially since he only had an hour to perform. He wanted to be professional as he could. The Aloha special was his first time on TV in 8 years.
It's so so difficult to even comprehend that 8 months after this show he would leave this crazy world! He looks so healthy and in amazingly good spirits here! I mean Elvis was the best looking man ever and not in a homosexual way, but he was and he looks amazingly good looking here!
An absolute pleasure to see him in such good humour. The most famous artist in the world, yet he still says 'Thank you Sir' to the guy that gave him a gift in the audience. Despite his faults and misjudgements this man was and always will be a King, a phenomenal talent and a legend forever more. ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been a fan for 40 years but man his voice on this video is giving me goose bumps. He could sing anything. He always put his best into his shows even the lasts one. Such a tragic ending but we are lucky to have these videos to keep him in our lives. Thank you for all,those who post
it's phenomenally inspiring how he was towards the end of his life. How his voice got even stronger and stronger. And although some claim that he was going downwards. Maybe in some aspects of his personal life. But as far as an entertainer, he was otherworldly magnificent until the very end. It's such a gift to this planet
And 2022 almost 46 years and still the king and 2023 here in 3 days and if I'm breathing Sunday another year done with the king and a new one upon us only by going back do we go forward and only by going forward can and do go back while doing it all in real time just like elvis was real once but now just memories remain but that's OK because in the end we live and give up the realities but never the memories or the dreams.
He was on his game that night! His speech was clear and he knew most all his song lyrics. It's amazing though how much his physical appearance and mobility deteriorated between this and his last concert in June. He went down so fast.
So what happened between December 76 and August 77, I have watched the last concert and I cannot understand the massive change. My heart breaks for what could have been. Such an amazing talent and human being. And just Wow at the fact that he’s almost 42 here and had been in the business for 20 years and people still going crazy for him!!!! Will always love you Elvis.
And now 45 years gone and bigger then ever and although cilla and Jack sober have done a great job with some bumps along the way they been at it since 1982 I'll give them that but bottom line elvis been gone since 1977 the col since 1997 and bought out in 1982 so the 2 people responsible for elvis success have had nothing to do with his success in 2022 almost 2023 which speaks for itself long live elvis and fans old and new.
Years of grueling Las Vegas shows and touring led to Elvis contracting an autoimmune disease leading to uveitis and pneumonia. Inflammation began to develop throughout the body, such as a twisted colon, and as a side effect of uveitis, glaucoma was on the verge of blindness. Even so, Elvis could not rest, and endured only with the prescription medicine prescribed by the quack doctor.😭 Vicious manager Tom Parker robbed him of more than 50% of Elvis' income through slavery contracts, and his wicked wife, Priscilla, took away 5% of his earnings in alimony, child support and music until his death. Elvis had to care for over 100 people, including his band, and there were so many people Elvis had to feed, including the Memphis mafia and his family, that Elvis had to work non-stop.😭
I've seen this concert many times in various forms. It is so wonderful to have the full show with the different camera angles. It just make it seem like seeing it for the first time. Thanks to those that filmed this for future generations to discover and enjoy The King
its weird, I actually received the CD package to this concert earlier this morning, the tears are streaming down my face, I have always said that Elvis never died of any form of drug abuse, a few years ago I sat and wrote (on computer) a 250 page essey for a project at college about him and his health status before he passed away, and during research I discovered that he had a number of health issues that were nothing to do with drugs at all, he was and always will be my personal inspiration, god be with you Elvis
My uncle had a heart condition where it produced too much water and the body couldn’t get rid of it fast enough. He gained 20 lbs the first month. I think that’s part of Elvis’ problem.
the sexiest being that ever existed on this planet!!!!! the prince charming that every woman dreamed of in her teens. whenever you want to escape reality and live a fairy tale for a while, just put on some elvis videos or songs, or both, and you re there! god bless your soul elvis for giving us the opportunity to escape when we need it.
awww Mann, I've been listening to the king from 7 yrs old, just wanted to be him as a kid. I've been listening and following all pod casts ect a lot recently and beautiful just beautiful …..LEGEND and only one person could pull all this off. All this will last, until eternity, the next and next and the next generations will also see him and love him, because the unbelievable gift of his love, voice, his moves, his kindness, and all the other joys and tingles he gave to us all. What a man. Thanks Elvis. you gave us so much x forever young x
This was Dec 1976 and only a few months before he was gone ! Still full of that electricity and energy that we loved so much . Sexy , funny and that beautiful smile 😊 To me up until his leaving us , he was always beautiful. Best looking performer and singer till the end ! ❤️🕺🙏🎸🎤🌎❤️🕺
Absolutely amazing. One of his best performances ever and he was said to be in decline during these years. Not so much. This is why he's The King and always will reign as such
He was the most beautiful man and a great person. Had his mom lived I think he would have lived longer. But when his mom died a piece of Elvis died. There will never be another entertainer like Elvis Presley.
this is a great historical record of New Year's Eve 76... and I think and truly believe that Elvis knew that these images was being taken... perfect and professional, bearing in regard the Spartan quality of the equipment available at the time... GREAT
A shame we didn't have today's technology back then....HD...digital audio. Even though today it's been "cleaned up"...remastered like the Aloha Special or "That's The Way It Is." This concert, along with The MSG concerts in 1972 would have been phenomenal if they were filmed professionally in the first place, never mind filmed in HD.
Elvis knew this would be his last New Years eve when he sang to his daughter and dad Elvis Aaron Presley January 8, 1935 August 16 1977 You are remembered & still loved Long Live the "KING" Of Rock & Roll.. Happy Birthday Sweet Elvis.
New year eve 1976 elvis concert is masterpiece excellent superb fantastic Today the year 2020 no singer can perform like elvis A true legend To me only his fan loved him 100 percent rather than his associate A true legend and never can be replaced Best in the world
Somewhere in those shots panning the crowd I may be. I was there that special night and it almost didn’t happen. I remember almost not getting tickets and my mom said to me that I should go because I may not have the opportunity to see Elvis again. Prophetically she was unfortunately right. This will always be one of the highlights of my life, knowing I shared the same building and air with this most special man. I miss him..
One of The best concerts by The King of Music.Long Live The King!

What a great concert. Elvis completely in his comfort zone. Extremely great! And what a beautiful production. Very well done with all the 8mm footage. Really awesome. Just imagine what this would have looked like with professional cameras. If this had been a TV special. Anyway... very thankful for this great opportunity to experience this concert via UA-cam. Thanks you and TCB
I can't imagine nothing better than spending new year's eve with Elvis... he drove the audience crazy. He was so charismatic, talented and great. We miss u man and happy New year wherever you are 💞
Even newspaper reviews of this concert related how much fun this particular concert was and how Mr. Presley's performance was quite good. Bad press about incoherent rambiling, weight issues and unpreparedness had already become fodder for local, regional and national press, so it was refreshing to hear good things about this important show.
Perfect! Great edit! No doubt, Dec 31st 1976 much better than june 1977' CBS Special. For me, Pittsburgh concert very special in every way. Thanks for ALL, who brings a part of human' memory to the 21 century.
@@silviaarmini1098 Ginger happened,money Hungary Ginger.Even though she ended up not receiving a dime.Got remarried and her husband died the same way,imagine that?He died on the anniversary of Elvis's death😭
it's been releases on a DVD/CD set. The voltage on this video is trom that (voorleg) dvd: finale countdown to midnight. The official Elvis label FTD released this show as "New Year's Even", the only audience recorder live show. Of course the sound isn't very good as professional live recordings. Although the sound on The Finale Countdown to Midnight cd/dvd sounds better
Listening to him sing Rags to Riches at this show absolutely wrecks me 😭 it's so breathtakingly beautiful. 2023 and we miss you more than ever Elvis 💌🕊️
May be the best concert I've ever heard from Elvis except HI,his interaction with the audiance was amazing. This was defiantly one of his UP concerts and almost 90min. thank you for the post
Still get goosebumps knowing that me and my father were actually in the crowd. I was only 7. He worked 2 months overtime to get tickets.
Dang, where were you guys in the crowd?
@@1015Elvis yeah, my aunt was lucky enough to get close to him and get one of his silk scarfs too. Dad was soooo jealous lol
@@1015Elvis we were to the right side of stage. His dad and Lisa Marie was on the left side.
@@albertanderson4223 what a great dad you had!
I wasn't even born wen elvis was alive I wish I could of seen him live live
Nobody commanded a stage like Elvis. NOBODY.
He didn't look sick or fat.. or on drugs... great concert... and still the best looking man on earth... love him.. rest in peace..E
Incredible. Elvis caused pandemonium in 1956 and he was still doing in 1976! The greatest performer of all time.
What a great show. ...Elvis on top form .... a freakin crime against humanity that it was not professionally filmed..ELVIS ALWAYS.....
I’ve often said the same thing. Why did they not film it ! This was a great concert.

Eight months and seventeen days he would leave us. Elvis looks fantastic here, how did everything change so fast.
The BEST concert ever! Elvis♡

Loves how he played guitar on reconcider baby, sounds great.
"Merry Christmas, happy birthday, happy bicentennial, and I love you". I still get emotional every time I hear that.
Oh wow first time heard Elvis sing hurt cant watch 77 Elvis looks amazing here bless him he must of been so ill last 8 months
he was FANTASTIC!!!
He was on his game that night! His speech was clear and he knew most all his song lyrics. It's amazing though how much his physical appearance and mobility deteriorated between this and his last concert in June. He went down so fast.
Elvis Presley was Beautiful.
God of music..ELVIS..THE KING
It was amazing to hear Elvis play the piano and sing rags to riches.I did not know that he performed that song live.
The only time l believe
That mountain was just too hard to climb. God bless you. Elvis
Love the crowd…."You look great Elvis"…17:19 :) The man getting the love he so deserved.
man he was good. my finale thoughts. great concert. there's not one bad song on here. Forever king!
So what happened between December 76 and August 77, I have watched the last concert and I cannot understand the massive change. My heart breaks for what could have been. Such an amazing talent and human being. And just Wow at the fact that he’s almost 42 here and had been in the business for 20 years and people still going crazy for him!!!! Will always love you Elvis.
Who knows ,,big change in such a short time :( sad 🥺
And now 45 years gone and bigger then ever and although cilla and Jack sober have done a great job with some bumps along the way they been at it since 1982 I'll give them that but bottom line elvis been gone since 1977 the col since 1997 and bought out in 1982 so the 2 people responsible for elvis success have had nothing to do with his success in 2022 almost 2023 which speaks for itself long live elvis and fans old and new.
Years of grueling Las Vegas shows and touring led to Elvis contracting an autoimmune disease leading to uveitis and pneumonia. Inflammation began to develop throughout the body, such as a twisted colon, and as a side effect of uveitis, glaucoma was on the verge of blindness. Even so, Elvis could not rest, and endured only with the prescription medicine prescribed by the quack doctor.😭
Vicious manager Tom Parker robbed him of more than 50% of Elvis' income through slavery contracts, and his wicked wife, Priscilla, took away 5% of his earnings in alimony, child support and music until his death. Elvis had to care for over 100 people, including his band, and there were so many people Elvis had to feed, including the Memphis mafia and his family, that Elvis had to work non-stop.😭
Medication alot of pils etc ,junk food and junk drinks,,stress, bad sleep pattern,no exercise, boredom.
@@뿡뿡-j1mwhat a load of rubbish
I've seen this concert many times in various forms. It is so wonderful to have the full show with the different camera angles. It just make it seem like seeing it for the first time. Thanks to those that filmed this for future generations to discover and enjoy The King
Nobody has what he has nobody the charisma talent just beyond belief greatest entertainer only one in his class
its weird, I actually received the CD package to this concert earlier this morning, the tears are streaming down my face, I have always said that Elvis never died of any form of drug abuse, a few years ago I sat and wrote (on computer) a 250 page essey for a project at college about him and his health status before he passed away, and during research I discovered that he had a number of health issues that were nothing to do with drugs at all, he was and always will be my personal inspiration, god be with you Elvis
My uncle had a heart condition where it produced too much water and the body couldn’t get rid of it fast enough. He gained 20 lbs the first month. I think that’s part of Elvis’ problem.
True,not always good for anyone anytime to drink water.
I WAS AT THAT CONCERT AND ONE OF THE BEST ONES I HAVE BEEN TOOO. WE SURE MISS YOU ELVIS. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE YOU.
the sexiest being that ever existed on this planet!!!!! the prince charming that every woman dreamed of in her teens. whenever you want to escape reality and live a fairy tale for a while, just put on some elvis videos or songs, or both, and you re there! god bless your soul elvis for giving us the opportunity to escape when we need it.
Elvis looking ever so fine love his smile sense of humor chrasima stage presence and that voice just melts your heart ❤️
Did anyone else get chills when he sang hurt? This should have been televised at the time , damn u colonel!!! Great concert , he was feeling good
one of his best shows ever
Aw Bruins
Elvis was fantastic and there is nobody like him until now! The best of the best. Looks of God and the voice of ubelievable beauty and strength❤❤❤
awww Mann, I've been listening to the king from 7 yrs old, just wanted to be him as a kid.
I've been listening and following all pod casts ect a lot recently and beautiful just beautiful …..LEGEND and only one person could pull all this off.
All this will last, until eternity, the next and next and the next generations will also see him and love him, because the unbelievable gift of his love, voice, his moves, his kindness, and all the other joys and tingles he gave to us all.
What a man.
Thanks Elvis. you gave us so much x forever young x
Man what a man, artist, performer...the ultimate talent this world will ever know! 😎💙Love my ELVIS
This was Dec 1976 and only a few months before he was gone ! Still full of that electricity and energy that we loved so much .
Sexy , funny and that beautiful smile 😊 To me up until his leaving us , he was always beautiful. Best looking performer and singer till the end ! ❤️🕺🙏🎸🎤🌎❤️🕺
Fantastic performance, a great entertainer 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Elvis looks great here and he gives a superb performance!
Noah Fricke about 2 stone overweight but still the King
Absolutely amazing. One of his best performances ever and he was said to be in decline during these years. Not so much. This is why he's The King and always will reign as such
Missing him today and every day. My dear and wonderful Elvis. Rest in peace.
He was the most beautiful man and a great person. Had his mom lived I think he would have lived longer. But when his mom died a piece of Elvis died. There will never be another entertainer like Elvis Presley.
this is a great historical record of New Year's Eve 76... and I think and truly believe that Elvis knew that these images was being taken... perfect and professional, bearing in regard the Spartan quality of the equipment available at the time... GREAT
If only cameras were better than
The best way to celebrate the new year with the king
A shame we didn't have today's technology back then....HD...digital audio. Even though today it's been "cleaned up"...remastered like the Aloha Special or "That's The Way It Is." This concert, along with The MSG concerts in 1972 would have been phenomenal if they were filmed professionally in the first place, never mind filmed in HD.
Elvis knew this would be his last New Years eve when he sang to his daughter and dad Elvis Aaron Presley January 8, 1935 August 16 1977 You are remembered & still loved Long Live the "KING" Of Rock & Roll.. Happy Birthday Sweet Elvis.
This is incredible. He was on form that night for sure. I think he could have sung anything and I think he felt that too.
What a wonderful Concert this was...he worked so hard, loved it!!!!!
Fantastic GUY and fantastic ARTIST🧛🎸👏🏆❤️
Unchained melody was exceptional ! What a voice, what performance !
Fantastic performance im angelina leoncio from philippines 64 yrs old i love you elvis your my idol...perfect
Fantastique show . ELVIS is the best singer of world RIP ELVIS. FRANCE.
New year eve 1976 elvis concert is masterpiece excellent superb fantastic Today the year 2020 no singer can perform like elvis A true legend To me only his fan loved him 100 percent rather than his associate A true legend and never can be replaced Best in the world
Perhaps we could all make this concert a new New Year's Eve tradition... salute the new year and the king!
Actually I've been doing this for quite some time. With this concert and the '75 one.
@@mrelvispresley6977 Do you time it so when he sings "Auld Lang Syne" it is midnight in your time zone?
Reconsider Baby and Rags to Riches were beautiful highlights of the concert. Oh and that karate display at the very end!!
Somewhere in those shots panning the crowd I may be. I was there that special night and it almost didn’t happen. I remember almost not getting tickets and my mom said to me that I should go because I may not have the opportunity to see Elvis again. Prophetically she was unfortunately right. This will always be one of the highlights of my life, knowing I shared the same building and air with this most special man. I miss him..
In case you are seeing this video today, press play at 11:17:23 pm and Elvis will sing you Auld Lang Syne at midnight!
Missed, but definitely NEXT Eve🙄...
Thank you and A Happy New Year❤️
I have been going crazy trying to skip through the video and read the comments to figure out the timing! Thank you!!!!
EXCELLENT! big concert ! ELVIS was in super forme ! The king forever !
Totally Unique. THE GREATEST EVER.
One of The best concerts by The King of Music.Long Live The King!
What a great concert. Elvis completely in his comfort zone. Extremely great! And what a beautiful production. Very well done with all the 8mm footage. Really awesome. Just imagine what this would have looked like with professional cameras. If this had been a TV special. Anyway... very thankful for this great opportunity to experience this concert via UA-cam. Thanks you and TCB
I can't imagine nothing better than spending new year's eve with Elvis... he drove the audience crazy. He was so charismatic, talented and great. We miss u man and happy New year wherever you are 💞
It's only 2 places anyone can be after they die....Heaven or hell. You either accept Christ, as your Savior, or you don't.
Coolness personified!!!
Even newspaper reviews of this concert related how much fun this particular concert was and how Mr. Presley's performance was quite good. Bad press about incoherent rambiling, weight issues and unpreparedness had already become fodder for local, regional and national press, so it was refreshing to hear good things about this important show.
Perfect!
Great edit!
No doubt, Dec 31st 1976 much better than june 1977' CBS Special.
For me, Pittsburgh concert very special in every way.
Thanks for ALL, who brings a part of human' memory to the 21 century.
I am wondering what happened between Jan 1st and August 16th 1977 :(
@@silviaarmini1098 Ginger happened,money Hungary Ginger.Even though she ended up not receiving a dime.Got remarried and her husband died the same way,imagine that?He died on the anniversary of Elvis's death😭
ONLY 7 MONTHS BEFORE HE LEFT US AND HE WAS AMAZING,LUV U ELVIS U TAKE MY BREATH AWAY. OMG
Always enjoy listening to this performance especially today! Peace -
Back again…Happy New Years 2023! RIP E!
Elvis I Love this medley of songs. I Love you “E”more than you could ever Imagine and you will always live Forever in my Heart and Soul 💗💋🥰❤️🔥🌹🔥🍀🌈🍀
The great Elvis giving 100%+ to his fans.The best singer of all timexoxo
He never died for me he still alive i love you elvis
This needs to be released on DVD!
it's been releases on a DVD/CD set. The voltage on this video is trom that (voorleg) dvd: finale countdown to midnight. The official Elvis label FTD released this show as "New Year's Even", the only audience recorder live show. Of course the sound isn't very good as professional live recordings. Although the sound on The Finale Countdown to Midnight cd/dvd sounds better
Listening to him sing Rags to Riches at this show absolutely wrecks me 😭 it's so breathtakingly beautiful.
2023 and we miss you more than ever Elvis 💌🕊️
Thank you to who filmed this great performance of the King! Historical moment!
The true KING OF POP . The true KING OF ROCK N ROLL.
May be the best concert I've ever heard from Elvis except HI,his interaction with the audiance was amazing. This was defiantly one of his UP concerts and almost 90min. thank you for the post
He sang the hell out of rags to riches...
