I think I love to hear him talk just as much as I love to hear him sing . He might of been slurring a little bit in this interview though . He acted like he didn't want to be interviewed . Like .... leave me alone man or maybe he was nervous . Did you see he was breathing kinda heavy at times ? I'll always love him though . I am not going to start talking about his drug addiction . I just try to remember him as the best Entertainer in the world and how beautiful he was . Remembering the good things about him . Thanks for sharing this great video .
@@gabrielemuller1469 Same here I used to take a lot of opiates and Elvis is clearly heavily medicated with opiates here. Probably morphine the one that really ruined his life was the Demerol that towards the end of his life he was injecting into his leg by himself. It's a tough thing to overcome I don't think he could quit. He was in too deep with it.
@@timhiland3908did you read her comment?.... Elvis was a very sick man.... none of us knows the pain he was in.... how would you have delt with his pain.... there was no pain management back then.... and where did you hear he was injecting himself? Also she listed a book she read about his health problems and family history....
Elvis was clearly under the influence of something and obese. . His speech was slurred. However when Parker said Jump. Elvis jumped. The producer said you must lose weight. Elvis somehow lost weight.That was a very unhappy man who had made a pact with the devil. Tom Parker. How Elvis managed to perform as well as he did for that Aloha is beyond my undestanding.
Don’t know why they gave all the credit to his manager didn’t matter who was managing Elvis he would have been a superstar any way as you have Elvis at the top then every one else…
after the aloha concert he should have really taken a year off he needed a break he had just gotten a divorce and he really needed to evaluate his career like touring overseas firing his manager etc
@@anastasiosdimtsis1 he did have control he turn down many offers parker suggest like the star is born elvis didn't want to it parker took the blame elvis is grown man
I've always felt the 1972 Madison Square Garden press conference is the last time Elvis sounds "normal" and not heavily sedated. While I agree he seems stoned here, somewhere else it was pointed out that Elvis did this conference just a few hours after performing his midnight show in Vegas, so he'd both been dehydrated a while and up for a while (he usually went to sleep around dawn/early morning and had to stay awake for this conference) and this is what's lending to him seeming reserved and withdrawn.
@@AnneliesRosseel Strange, because Peter Guralick's book, Jerry Schilling, and Myrna Smith all stated that he had finished a concert hours earlier and had taken downers. Guess you know better Annelies.
ALL. THAT. FAME. WORLD WIDE. HE. WON. ONLY. 1. ONE. MUSICAL. AWARD. THAT. WAS. IN 1960. FOR. HOW. GREAT THOU .ART. .LETS. FACE. THE. FACTS. THAT. WAS. NO. ACCIDENT...
I get a kick out of the reporter who asks him, "how do you pace yourself ?" Elvis: "you mean physically, vocally" reporter again: "so that you're up when you need to be up" I have heard a lot of excuses for his demeanor during this interview but anyone can tell that he's simply stoned.
@@thomasandersen2938 Such is the life of a performer. Compared to others in the music field Elvis had it easy. 1month engagements in Vegas, twice a year, where he had to go from his suite to the stage and never in his career of 20 plus years did he tour outside of the US. Sorry, he did 3 shows in 3 Canadian cities in 1957. Paul McCartney, Tom Jones, Engelbert Humperdinck, all in their 80s and still doing world tours.
@@tellittothemarines704 I'm sorry, what? Are you saying Elvis never sang outside Vegas twice a year? I mean, he had 109 concerts in 1976 when he was in really bad shape and had to cancel some shows...but he had it easy, right.
@@adamcekica I didn't mean that Elvis never sang outside of Vegas. I meant that Elvis never experienced the hardship of being out on a world tour like every other musical act does. Also, he was barely in his forties at the time of his death and he was in "really bad shape" because of self abuse and an overall unhealthy lifestyle.
@@tellittothemarines704 Being on a world tour or touring the US, it's a tour whatever you wanna call it...btw, Elvis really wanted to tour worldwide, but the Colonel thought otherwise... Yes he was in his 40's, but you can't deny two shows a day, seven days a week take their toll, especially with a high-energy performer like Elvis was.
@@mariecavuoto319 yeah I did have to ask - because my HOME had a satellite in 1977 - so how lacking were we for satellites around the world at that time?
I believe it was a big deal because Elvis Presley was the first entertainer to have done a TV show via satellite broadcast, it was also the biggest audience besides the first men to walk on the moon, and there was no ticket price for the show, the live audience paid as much as they could afford and the money goes to Kui Lee Cancer fund, he was popular in Hawaii, singer/songwriter who died young from cancer, Elvis sang " I'll Remember You " that was originally Kui Lee's. So yeah. This concert, was huge and it gave Elvis challenges and the opportunity to do his best, he even loses weight for the show and lived a clean life, I read in some books he took off drugs for these shows. He TCB and he delivered 👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@dessy844 I did not know all that....I had no idea - Thank you for explaining....that makes much morse sense. I thought the entire thing was around the SAT - I thought that was the big deal. I did not know about it being a concert for Cancer and for Kui Lee's Cancer Foundation and/or fund. I had no idea people paid what they could afford to attend.....very cool. Appreciate you sharing!
@@pkcollins8300 you are the most welcome ❤️ I am happy to share anything Elvis, his history, or facts... This concert was beyond music, it was a showcase of Elvis Presley's generosity, they raised in the amount of 75.000 dollars for Kui Lee Cancer Funds, which is a lot of money if you convert to today's with inflation = ( $500,466.22 ) 👍👍
It’s amazing how humble and polite Elvis was. The biggest star ever and the most kind and gracious.
To understand what brought E to this point in his life, read the book "Careless Love" by Peter Guralnick.
Yea I agree. That is the book to read. If you really want to know the facts..Also by Peter Guralnick: The last train to Memphis. Both "must read".

he seemed to have trouble breathing must be the pills to calm anxiety

He was full of drugs dear. 🤔😊

Thank you.. beautiful Elvis the king..
Elvis gave about 7 concerts in Hawaii. He looks and sounds subdued here.
Don’t know why they gave all the credit to his manager didn’t matter who was managing Elvis he would have been a superstar any way as you have Elvis at the top then every one else…
Parker made the deal and elvis approved it
Magnifique !
West germany and sovietunion ❤
Memories .....
He is so high here. He is the king but he was using here.
Marty said the sleeping pills hadn't worn off
63 shows in a row with no day off!! What a schedule!!
Yeah it’s a
Amazing how he didn’t collapse on stage ever
I know. Unbelievable!!! Stuck in a hotel room for 6 weeks. Yuk!!
@@elliottmayer-yeager8087 yes how could you not be on something stamina one needs wayne newton did 32 weeks straight 2 shows a night
What a legend that he is
@@anastasiosdimtsis1in reallity it was 3,5 weeks. Just 28 days. The movue got it all wrong
after the aloha concert he should have really taken a year off he needed a break he had just gotten a divorce and he really needed to evaluate his career like touring overseas firing his manager etc
The problem was he had no control over his life and career, and he reacted I guess by throwing his money down the drain
@@anastasiosdimtsis1 he did have control he turn down many offers parker suggest like the star is born elvis didn't want to it parker took the blame elvis is grown man
Marty said this interview Vegas scheduled to early in the day Elvis was still feeling the affects of his strong sleeping pills

He wasn’t stoned here he had a fever

He hated the dumb questions the interviewer was asking.
He doesn't look well here...😟
I heard that he had a fever during this interview...😢
I was really not in a good State 🥺🥺

was this really a big deal - Hawaii concert? I mean......to me its tv and streaming....right i.e. satellite (dish)?
It was 1972, it's not 2022 where we have media like FB, tik tok, live streaming at the touch of a finger. Did you really have to ask?
