Elvis Presley's "IF I CAN DREAM" ua-cam.com/video/u-pP_dCenJA/v-deo.htmlsi=8lxL-UbDFgk7A_ycx From his 68 Comeback Special, this was Elvis's Heartfelt and Powerful Tribute to Dr Martin Luther King Jr, after his Assasination in Memphis Tennessee where Elvis Lived. It is Based on the message of MLK's "I Have A Dream" Speech, and was written for him with this in mind. It also honored the Memory of Robert F Kennedy, who was also Assasinated during the same time period.

Elvis ‘s drummer Ronnie Tutt was amazing. He kept his eyes on Elvis and kept up with his moves. There is a rehearsal footage in wish you can see Elvis moves and Ronnie responding with the drums. It is so spontaneous that his conductor Joe Guercio once said working with Elvis is like chasing marbles down a flight of stairs. Elvis responded to this by filling Joe’s dressing room with marbles. Elvis liked playing practical jokes for fun.
When he pulled the note from his belt, it wasn't because he forgot the lyrics, it was a note from a female fan. Watch Love Me Tender from the same concert and you'll see how much the fans loved E, how how much he reciprocated the love.
He was in the Army. A woman handed her a note. Probably with her name and number. He gives his all on every song and makes you feel it. If you play more songs, get the live videos to see his performances. HINT: Elvis was a jokester, so you can't take your eyes off the screen or you'll definitely miss something. Here's a few videos: "In The Ghetto (Las Vegas 1970) 4K ," "Suspicious Minds (Aloha From Hawaii, Live in Honolulu, 1973) ," and "An American Trilogy (Aloha From Hawaii, Live in Honolulu, 1973)". Short Documentary videos: "Elvis and the Black Community" Parts 1 and 2. Another thing that I admired about Elvis is that he wasn't ashamed or embarrassed to cry, which he does on a few songs. Loved your reactions! LIKED, COMMENTED & SUBSCRIBED.
A woman had passed him the note he reads in the middle of Polk Salad Anne. Yes , If I can Dream is a song you should watch, ending his tv special from 68. Well done brothers.
The orginal Vegas Residency, he did two shows a night , and added a matinee on Sundays, so he has fun changing up songs, plus assembled a 13 piece band, with 8 member chior, which at that time was rare! His live shows are second to none, plus he has to navigate the mic chord, 40 years before wireless..😂
There will never be another Elvis yalls reaction was awesome made me laugh. In the beginning when he was grunting he served 2 years in the army that's where he got that from. But he did like playing football. If you do more Elvis I would recommend the song just pretend. You won't be disappointed
I am so jealous. I didn’t get the opportunity to see him in person. The only time he was near me in Madison Square Garden I had a new born baby so I wasn’t able to attend. My daughter felt bad that I missed out and treated us to Graceland on 2021. Now my 12 year old grandchildren are also fans. We had an awesome time.
That little note was a room # given by a babe. He was given it during Sweet Caroline earlier in this show. I experienced Elvis in Vegas when I was 22 at a special 3AM show where babes would give notes (there room #) to "stewards" roaming the floor who would forward the note to Elvis on stage.
If you haven't reacted to Elvis singing " If I Can Dream" during his TV Special in 1968 you should def do that one. Also do "In the Ghetto" live in concert 1970. Mac Davis wrote the song and asked Sammy Davis Jr to record it, but Sammy told him he felt he couldn't do the song justice because he did not grow up in those conditions, but, he said he knew someone who did, Elvis Presley. Elvis recorded the song. I've been an Elvis fan since i was 12 years old and I'm turning 77 in a few weeks. I still listen to him every day.
@jayeginn5963 Your post is true Elvis' history. I did not know about his Grandfather. One of his biggest influences was the Black Baptist Churches he attended while young. You can see the influence in his performances such as If I Could Dream. BabantheKidd, I enjoyed your reactions. The moves he does have been part of him since he was a kid. Later, Martial Arts was one of his favorite hobbies. But, it's the music that was in his entire body and soul. He played guitar, piano and drums, but it's the drums that provide the electricity in him. In the video Elvis Presley and the Black Community, his former pastor of the Black Baptist Church where Elvis worshipped and sang, tells about his energy as a kid. The live Las Vegas video of 1973 Suspicious Minds shows what it was like to work with him. He loved to joke around, loved singing, his band and singers, his fans and singing Gospel tunes.
Elvis is the King because he dominated overwhelmed in every record and set large arena and Stadium records that stood until finally these venues were torn down to rebuild new ones. He outsold every performer, covered other performers songs and outsold theres. He had 18+ #1 hits to 1 for Chuck Berry. He is the King because like King LeBron and Jordan had also "more rings".
He wasn’t reading notes for the song. A woman passed him a note and he handed over to Charlie Hodge his bodyguard. You can see it in the video of the whole concert.
Elvis was the worlds first superstar, he had everything the voice, looks, personality , the moves and charisma. He gave his all to ever performance please react to I HAVE A DREAN, it is a tribute tp Martin Luther King . If you want to know what kind of man Elvis was please watch a short documentary Elvis and the Black Community. Great reaction i subbed. more Elvis please.
Hey! You guys were getting into it. The hup,hup,hup at the beginning was from his Army days, not football, although he loved footballl and played often. He had his own team with uniforms and cheerleaders. You should look up the ESPN Elvis football video. It is really good! Yes, more Elvis, please. Nobody could entertain like this man. Try some clips from the 68 Comeback Special ( black leather stand up or sit down versions). Thanks, guys, I loved this!!❤❤❤
he was not reading lyrics that was a note from some woman who stuffed it in his belt, women tried to get to him everywhere he went. but all kidding aside he loved to screw around on stage. He was a serious promoter of civil rights, see his tribute to MLK jr. from his 68 comeback special "If I Can Dream". Also his beautiful song 'In the Ghetto" you know he grew up in the poor black neighborhood in Mississippi. He helped promote black artists in the 50's when white stations would not play black singers till he changed that. Elvis had a 23 year career. Died of heart failure at 42, and sang every thing from gospel to opera. He had a 3 octave range. Another great to hear is his performance in Vegas 1970 "Walk a Mile in My Shoes". Thanks I appreciate you.
The most charismatic singer entertainer and humanitarian ever !! No one today can match his brilliance. And no auto tunes back then and if there were h wouldn't need it 💕 Have you checked into these songs 1) if I can dream 2) In the Ghetto in 1970 live Vegas 3) Bridge over troubled water l1970 live Vegas and His 1973 Aloha Hawaiian concert..... Great songs 😀 and Suspicious Minds in 1970 live in Vegas
Hey guys thank you for reacting to Elvis!!! I hope you get the 100 likes so you can delve more into Elvis, His Gospel was amazing... He did it all.. You know the chiccky chiccky bom bom you were singing his backing singers (The Ladies) were called the Sweet Inspirations, when Elvis went to Vegas in I believe 1969 Whitney Houstons mum, Cissy was one of his back up singers in that group. He hand picked his band, he had a full orchestra and Gospel Singers The Stamps Quartet, The Bass singer Elvis used to sneak in to see his shows when he was a kid, and he told JD one day you will sing for me and he lived up to that . There are many stories about Elvis, and memories they all shared and still do. A threatened to walk out of Vegas after some higher upper made a bad comment about those girl singers, they didnt want them there because of the colour of their skin, Elvis said No Way, if they are not here I am not here... He was an amazing man..
Mah main man Elvis is and was dope.....true Southern bred gentleman and yeah, he loved football 🏈. He was a funny dude, loved to play pranks on and off stage. Love his energy and humor....he had some mad moves, too. First of the best in everything, yo...mad love and respect ✌🏼💯⚡❤️
If I can Dream - Elvis 68 Comeback Special would be a nice start - especially for folks who dont know too much about Elvis (as a person) When he sung this it was a statement at a time where it was considered quite controversial, In The Ghetto was around the same time, shortly after I believe - - Yall passed 100 likes in just a few hours. There are so many Elvis Fans out there :)
Hey guys, stay on the ELVIS journey and you will get So much love from all over the world , Elvis is The Man Among Men who changed history in so many ways , he has a huge catalog of music, 5 genres at that, only artist who has ever been in every Hall of Fame , Thanks for your reaction , like Elvis did keep on TCB 1935
@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 LOL it's eating your insides out isn't it. Do the best you can. Man there is an entire psychological conference in this Jethros head.
Thanks for trolling me, now either the question is too hard for you to answer or you are highly overly under educated, pick one and prove to everyone how stupid you are.
Thanks for your reaction. Elvis was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, in a 2 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory. Elvis always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather, Jesse Dunning Presley, was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. J.D. Presley was quite the racist a-hole, often drunk and a philandering husband to Minnie Mae (they were actually separated long before they finally divorced in 1954) who was always competing with his sons Vester and Vernon and who was known to abuse his kids when drunk. J.D. was was publicly against race mixing and was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. It was more publicly known that the Smith family had Native blood in their family tree, so when both his sons fell for 2 Smith sisters and Vernon, on top of that, was still a minor at 17 when he eloped with Gladys who was 4 years older than him, Jesse was totally pissed off. As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis (ua-cam.com/video/LrFCyNMvZWk/v-deo.html). One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.
That was a note handed to him from a woman in front row and thinking about Polk Salad Annie (with mean throat game) made him want to read it 😂😂 I've seen this concert. Elvis was something else 👑
Suspicious Minds from this same concert , What now my Love from his 68 concert Aloha from Hawaii watched via satellite ( first ever such concert ) by over billion people world wide . To see his rise to stardom his performances on Ed Sullivan , the third performance censored , filmed from his waist up . Also Elvis and The Black Community if you want to know what shaped Elvis , how he opened the door for Black artists on mainstream radio and how he felt about racial equality . Also Elvis the King of generosity he gave most of his money away to charities and individuals
@@WoodsWoman822 how spooky i was watching What Now My love aloha just yesterday :) Both shows he sung it great but the rehersal version my fave of the 2 also
He didn't forget the lyrics. A female fan, during a previous song, passed him a note. He was reading it for the first time. Probably her phone number and/or hotel room number 😂
Uh. You are sweet, but wrong. He was completely out of it on drugs at this point. He checked the play list, not the words. Why, o why would he read a random note? How old are you?
@@kayleighmoran I'm older....and wiser than you. I will go get you the video footage since you're incapable of doing it yourself...Stand by (that means, wait)
@@Bionic_FonzieOh, just by the way you are writing, I can tell that you are either a very young person or a bell end. And either way, someone who does know shit. Or Elvis. If you are older than me, than wow, where have you been all your fifty years?
@@kayleighmoran - here you go. Go to the 3:03 mark. He bends down and kisses a girl and she hands him the paper and he puts it in the exact spot where he pulls it out during polk salad annie. If you watch the next 6 songs in order the paper is sticking out of his belt. Also this was 1970 Elvis. He had just started performing live again and was not heavy into drugs until 1973-74. You can show your smug a$$ the door ua-cam.com/video/A2vj3j03jpw/v-deo.htmlsi=y6FaWTy63nxrK5Go
When Elvis was reading that piece of paper it was a song request. At Elvis shows people would write the request and all request would go into a fish bowl before the show began. On stage Elvis would randomly pick one and do that song.
Elvis is amazing and truly the KING! Please react to all his videos. Especially the Las Vegas Concerts Live 1970 videos which are from the same concert series as "Polk Salad Annie". React to Las Vegas 1970 Live "Suspicious Minds" and Las Vegas 1970 Live "Love Me Tender". The 1970s videos was 54 years ago, Elvis was super cool and had a lot of swag. BTW there's something that happens in "Love Me Tender" that could never happen today. Hilarious. Enjoy the Elvis journey.
Subbed❤ THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS❤️ Elvis inspires you to be a better human being❤️ You bring me and other Elvisfans a lot of Joy and Love❤️ Welcome to the Elvisfamily..It is filled with LOVE and FUN❤️😉
Elvis played football everyday after school at the high school in whitehaven, Tennessee. My neighbor was the school secretary also we used to see him on his motorcycle going to the high school. Just a regular Ole human.
Love your reaction. I can tell you were surprised to see Elvis in motion. During the Los Vegas years he was in his prime. He incorporated karate moves and he was so spontaneous that his musicians and back up singers watched him closely and just followed his lead. You have a long list already. I suggest you start at the beginning with his first TV appearances. From his movie career check out love me tender Los Vegas 1971 version, Crawfish the beginning clip from his fourth movie King Creole, Jailhouse Rock and can’t help falling in love with you. Elvis had a Country music album with some very good songs, my favorite Just Pretend..
If you like to have fun with his liver performances watch the live “Love Me Tender”. For his serious performance check out his tribute to MLK “If I Can Dream” (‘68 comeback special). And a touch of reality with his “In the Ghetto”
We are new to Elvis so please leave a bunch of suggestions for us to try next! Appreciate the support!
Really I love Elvis but this is not my favorite. Please react to Elvis Bossa Nova Baby:

From his 68 Comeback Special, this was Elvis's Heartfelt and Powerful Tribute to Dr Martin Luther King Jr, after his Assasination in Memphis Tennessee where Elvis Lived. It is Based on the message of MLK's "I Have A Dream" Speech, and was written for him with this in mind. It also honored the Memory of Robert F Kennedy, who was also Assasinated during the same time period. This was a Turbulent Time in America, 🇺🇸 with the Civil Rights Movement, Protests and Riots against Vietnam War and it seemed as if the Country was being torn apart and Elvis wanted to bring a Message of Hope and Unity to the Nation. "If I Can Dream" is at it's heart, a Civil Rights Song.

It wasn't a threat? It is said in your film that threats were sent to you at those concerts, I don't know if it is true.
Elvis isn't merely dancing he's conducting the band! What a legend, only one THE KING!
This man is incredible; thanks for playing this!
Who could wear a jumpsuit & look so manly. No one but Elvis. Sooo handsome
We all loved us Elvis. Thank you!
There will never be anything even close to this man.
He was in the Army. A woman handed her a note. Probably with her name and number. He gives his all on every song and makes you feel it. If you play more songs, get the live videos to see his performances. HINT: Elvis was a jokester, so you can't take your eyes off the screen or you'll definitely miss something. Here's a few videos: "In The Ghetto (Las Vegas 1970) 4K ," "Suspicious Minds (Aloha From Hawaii, Live in Honolulu, 1973) ," and "An American Trilogy (Aloha From Hawaii, Live in Honolulu, 1973)". Short Documentary videos: "Elvis and the Black Community" Parts 1 and 2. Another thing that I admired about Elvis is that he wasn't ashamed or embarrassed to cry, which he does on a few songs. Loved your reactions! LIKED, COMMENTED & SUBSCRIBED.
Lived the clip of that woman slipped in that note. Even Elvis was shocked! ❤
Elvis was and is the best entertainer I have ever seen. Your reaction was great. He has
been brought back alive with UA-cam AND such.
A woman had passed him the note he reads in the middle of Polk Salad Anne. Yes , If I can Dream is a song you should watch, ending his tv special from 68. Well done brothers.
The orginal Vegas Residency, he did two shows a night , and added a matinee on Sundays, so he has fun changing up songs, plus assembled a 13 piece band, with 8 member chior, which at that time was rare! His live shows are second to none, plus he has to navigate the mic chord, 40 years before wireless..😂
From a third generation Elvis fan thank you for keeping Elvis alive.
EXACTLY 💯 ❤❤❤❤
I’m Elvis Presley impersonator I post videos every now and then on my TikTok
AMEN TO THAT!

Guys, it was an out this world experience to see his concert live in person. I was lucky enough to see him once in person .
I am so jealous. I didn’t get the opportunity to see him in person. The only time he was near me in Madison Square Garden I had a new born baby so I wasn’t able to attend. My daughter felt bad that I missed out and treated us to Graceland on 2021. Now my 12 year old grandchildren are also fans. We had an awesome time.
I‘m also jaulous! In this time i was 6 years old and don‘t knew him! I wish i had the chance to see him in person!
Me too… green with envy … soo please you were lucky enough to see Our Beautiful Man 🫶🫶🫶
Elvis was a black belt in Karate., he threw karate moves in his shows ..

If you haven't reacted to Elvis singing " If I Can Dream" during his TV Special in 1968 you should def do that one. Also do "In the Ghetto" live in concert 1970. Mac Davis wrote the song and asked Sammy Davis Jr to record it, but Sammy told him he felt he couldn't do the song justice because he did not grow up in those conditions, but, he said he knew someone who did, Elvis Presley. Elvis recorded the song.
I've been an Elvis fan since i was 12 years old and I'm turning 77 in a few weeks. I still listen to him every day.

He hand picked his band, he had a full orchestra and Gospel Singers The Stamps Quartet, The Bass singer Elvis used to sneak in to see his shows when he was a kid, and he told JD one day you will sing for me and he lived up to that . There are many stories about Elvis, and memories they all shared and still do. A threatened to walk out of Vegas after some higher upper made a bad comment about those girl singers, they didnt want them there because of the colour of their skin, Elvis said No Way, if they are not here I am not here... He was an amazing man..
Long live the king of rock n roll and everything else. Good night Graceland. Texas. Peace bros
❤The G.O.A.T. RIP Elvis, ☝ 💐🇵🇷🇺🇲⚡TCB TLC 🙌🙏
Mah main man Elvis is and was dope.....true Southern bred gentleman and yeah, he loved football 🏈. He was a funny dude, loved to play pranks on and off stage. Love his energy and humor....he had some mad moves, too. First of the best in everything, yo...mad love and respect ✌🏼💯⚡❤️
Thank you for reacting to Elvis
We sure did love that man. That was fun
If I can Dream - Elvis 68 Comeback Special would be a nice start - especially for folks who dont know too much about Elvis (as a person) When he sung this it was a statement at a time where it was considered quite controversial, In The Ghetto was around the same time, shortly after I believe - - Yall passed 100 likes in just a few hours. There are so many Elvis Fans out there :)
Hey guys, stay on the ELVIS journey and you will get So much love from all over the world , Elvis is The Man Among Men who changed history in so many ways , he has a huge catalog of music, 5 genres at that, only artist who has ever been in every Hall of Fame , Thanks for your reaction , like Elvis did keep on TCB 1935
how did Elvis change history?
@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 LOL it's eating your insides out isn't it. Do the best you can. Man there is an entire psychological conference in this Jethros head.
T@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425trolls like you deserve no answer.
@@makingthecoin3647 question too intellectual or too hard for you to answer?
Thanks for trolling me, now either the question is too hard for you to answer or you are highly overly under educated, pick one and prove to everyone how stupid you are.
Y'all need to watch Elvis And The Black Community
اعظم فنان على مر العصور لم ولن يتكرر الملك بدون منازع
Thanks for your reaction.
Elvis was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, in a 2 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory.
Elvis always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather, Jesse Dunning Presley, was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. J.D. Presley was quite the racist a-hole, often drunk and a philandering husband to Minnie Mae (they were actually separated long before they finally divorced in 1954) who was always competing with his sons Vester and Vernon and who was known to abuse his kids when drunk. J.D. was was publicly against race mixing and was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. It was more publicly known that the Smith family had Native blood in their family tree, so when both his sons fell for 2 Smith sisters and Vernon, on top of that, was still a minor at 17 when he eloped with Gladys who was 4 years older than him, Jesse was totally pissed off.
As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis (ua-cam.com/video/LrFCyNMvZWk/v-deo.html). One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.
une autre elvis quon .. REVERRA DANS 100 ANS 💖💥💫👏👏🙏🙏""
MORE ELVIS PLEASE ❤
Loved your reaction to the King. Keep on reacting to his videos and music.
Do all of the Elvis you can handle!
Yes... all the Elvis YOU can handle. You'll have great fun.
Elvis recorded over 800 songs so there are loads to choose from - enjoy the ride 🎵🎵🎶🎶
the only king rock over the universe! i love Elvis for all time!
That was a note handed to him from a woman in front row and thinking about Polk Salad Annie (with mean throat game) made him want to read it 😂😂 I've seen this concert. Elvis was something else 👑
Elvis put on a great show and I saw him live in 1976. Awesome
Suspicious Minds from this same concert , What now my Love from his 68 concert Aloha from Hawaii watched via satellite ( first ever such concert ) by over billion people world wide . To see his rise to stardom his performances on Ed Sullivan , the third performance censored , filmed from his waist up . Also Elvis and The Black Community if you want to know what shaped Elvis , how he opened the door for Black artists on mainstream radio and how he felt about racial equality . Also Elvis the King of generosity he gave most of his money away to charities and individuals
Elvis Presley
"WHAT NOW MY LOVE"
Aloha REHERSAL Concert
Live 1973 In Hawaii.

[Elvis didn't sing What Now My Love in 68]
@@WoodsWoman822 you are correct :)
@@WoodsWoman822 how spooky i was watching What Now My love aloha just yesterday :) Both shows he sung it great but the rehersal version my fave of the 2 also
He didn't forget the lyrics. A female fan, during a previous song, passed him a note. He was reading it for the first time. Probably her phone number and/or hotel room number 😂
Yep exactly.
Uh. You are sweet, but wrong. He was completely out of it on drugs at this point. He checked the play list, not the words. Why, o why would he read a random note? How old are you?
@@kayleighmoran I'm older....and wiser than you. I will go get you the video footage since you're incapable of doing it yourself...Stand by (that means, wait)
@@Bionic_FonzieOh, just by the way you are writing, I can tell that you are either a very young person or a bell end. And either way, someone who does know shit. Or Elvis. If you are older than me, than wow, where have you been all your fifty years?
@@kayleighmoran - here you go. Go to the 3:03 mark. He bends down and kisses a girl and she hands him the paper and he puts it in the exact spot where he pulls it out during polk salad annie. If you watch the next 6 songs in order the paper is sticking out of his belt. Also this was 1970 Elvis. He had just started performing live again and was not heavy into drugs until 1973-74. You can show your smug a$$ the door

Love all Elvis, do more Elvis, Just Pretend, Bridge over Troubled Water, Patch it up, Loves travels on a graveled road
Love the Sweet inspirations with their chick boom, chicka boom ❤😂
I seen Elvis in concert when I was 15 in 1976.
When Elvis was reading that piece of paper it was a song request. At Elvis shows people would write the request and all request would go into a fish bowl before the show began. On stage Elvis would randomly pick one and do that song.
Soo happy you found ELVIS 🥰 Now listen to Baby- I Don’t Care from the film Jailhouse Rock 🥰 welcome 🫶🫶🫶
That man was always full of energy
In The Ghetto, If I Can Dream, Jail House Rock, Unchained Melody Live, or anything by him will be 🔥!
En hilsen fra Danmark håber at se mere Elvis fra jer ❤
Elvis is amazing and truly the KING! Please react to all his videos. Especially the Las Vegas Concerts Live 1970 videos which are from the same concert series as "Polk Salad Annie". React to Las Vegas 1970 Live "Suspicious Minds" and Las Vegas 1970 Live "Love Me Tender". The 1970s videos was 54 years ago, Elvis was super cool and had a lot of swag. BTW there's something that happens in "Love Me Tender" that could never happen today. Hilarious. Enjoy the Elvis journey.
Bruh PLEASE do MORE ELVIS this was so much fun
Elvis was in the army

Appreciate the sub! Happy to be here! ❤️
He pulled a paper out of his belt buckle. That was our hotel room.
Saw him, close up, in a small venue. Was absolutely the sexiest man who ever walked…who happened to be able to sing…absolutely ANYTHING!!
2:00 the "hut hut hut" was not football reference, its marching reference, he learned it in the U.S.ARMY.
Love him soooo much!!!! Yes more EP please ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Adore Elvis♥️ from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
I think some girl slipped him a note!!! He got a lot of that kind of thing!! Because we all loved him so much and still do today!!!!❤❤❤❤
From Italy I 'my Dario... Before ELVIS was nothing!!!
He was in the army up one up two
I wish you could have seen him in person! God,what a show!
Love Elvis reactions!!! Keep them coming, please.
More the better love him
Elvis played football everyday after school at the high school in whitehaven, Tennessee. My neighbor was the school secretary also we used to see him on his motorcycle going to the high school. Just a regular Ole human.
Love your reaction. I can tell you were surprised to see Elvis in motion. During the Los Vegas years he was in his prime. He incorporated karate moves and he was so spontaneous that his musicians and back up singers watched him closely and just followed his lead. You have a long list already. I suggest you start at the beginning with his first TV appearances. From his movie career check out love me tender Los Vegas 1971 version, Crawfish the beginning clip from his fourth movie King Creole, Jailhouse Rock and can’t help falling in love with you. Elvis had a Country music album with some very good songs, my favorite Just Pretend..
The note was a note passed to him from a woman earlier in the show. He was just cleaning around reading it mid-song
If you like to have fun with his liver performances watch the live “Love Me Tender”. For his serious performance check out his tribute to MLK “If I Can Dream” (‘68 comeback special). And a touch of reality with his “In the Ghetto”
