Lyrics: Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch, a long lonely time
Time goes by, so slowly and time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God, speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers cry, wait for me, wait for me
I’ll be coming home, wait for me
Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch, a long lonely time
I need your love, I need your love
God, speed your love, to me
I legit broke into tears when they played this scene at the end of Elvis (2022). He was literally on the verge of death, but you wouldn’t have known because of his voice. It’s as if this performance was his final farewell to the world and no one knew it at the time.
My ma cried for 3 hours and this scene at the show last night! I had to carry her to the car because she couldn’t keep it together
I have just watched this movie my wife said are you singing along i couldnt too emotional RIP Always The King
me too. I just got home from seeing it. was fabulous. had goosebumps and tears when movie started and ended. he was a significant culture change.
I think it’s his greatest ever performance
Same here, just watched it a few hours ago in IMAX (it was otherworldly) and I’d managed to keep it together for the whole film up until this part which had me in floods of tears. You can really tell that despite his poor health, he put everything he had left into that performance, it’s so powerful and moving it touches your soul. It breaks my heart that he lived feeling he hadn’t done enough or lived up to his full potential; and yet decades later, his legacy lives on, we still celebrate him and his music and now have this gorgeous film to memorialise him. I hope that if there is a heaven/afterlife, he knows how much his fans (including new generations) still love him and his work ❤️
Considering his physical and mental state here, this is probably one of the most impressive vocal performances of all time
Amazing, yes.
This and Whitney’s National Anthem are the most beautiful things my ears have ever heard.
I couldn't agree more!! Never lost that voice, absolutely beautiful.
Very very true.
This is one of the most important events in history, not just American history but World history.
He was so exhausted, out of breath, so unhealthy...but still he delivers a performance that makes me cry every time I hear it! His voice was so magical. Irreplaceable!
I agree with you, indeed Elvis is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,
he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and
always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
🔥🔥🔥🔥👑🤲🏼🙏👍
Я тоже иногда пересматриваю это выступление. Это его прощальная песня..
I agree with you. Noone could hit the notes like Elvis.
This was his swans song & it delivered. And it keeps delivering through the ages. He is Elvis.
"He could barely stand up. But that night, as always, he sang with all his heart and soul. That old voice rang out, and he sang with all. His. Life."
~Tom Hanks
Coming from Forrest, that's a say!
Tom Hanks was horrible in that movie
This was Elvis at his worst. He would be dead in less than 60 days. But he still sounds better than anyone today.
Honestly tend to think 🤔 that fame and fortune can be so overwhelming that some are pulled out of the public 👁, but yes you are correct on the time of his death!
Yep fat as hell and drugged as hell.
But yeah, still better than anyone today lol.
Truly is something how he could barely speak and get through his sentence in the beginning and yet when he started singing it's like he never was sick or unwell at all and you could tell with how much he was sweating him having trouble hitting that high note at the end was truly him giving it all he had in that moment
@@kaptainkibiroproductions45 Yup. He always gave 100% for his fans. That's why he was the best entertainer of all time.
Whose here after watching the elvis film? 🙋♂️🎤
Me🙋
Me!!! Cried!! Soooooo gooood!!
Me 😊
Me…Elvis is Legendary
Just finished watching this 20 minutes after
No fake singing, no record playing in the background. All live vocals. Freaking amazing. Thank you Elvis.
pls explain why the end vocal is so long but he stopped singing before
👑🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@fastyou-cv2rpI’ve seen this a million times. I’ve always noticed what you’re saying. I just looked for it again. Did we see a different video bc it’s gone now. The part that you are talking about on this video is clearly now missing.
Merci Elvis ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@Wang944if I had to guess it would be the latency of the cameras back then
I'm 11 years old, My dad was 43 when he died from cancer On jan 4th... we played this at his funeral I'm breaking down I miss him so much my dad meant the world to me truly, there's no words to describe what amazing father he is God if I had one wish it would to bring him back.... I love you Dada. 💔
My friend, there Is no age to miss a loving father.
I'm 51 years old and completely understand you because I know what it is like to lose a super good father (cancer too), 7 years have passed since my old man left and I miss him every day of my life. He taught me good music and of course Elvis, when I listen to him I feel like my old man is close. I don't doubt that your father and mine met and heard Elvis sing live in heaven.
Wish you all the best.
My friend, your father will live forever in your hearts.
Hold on to your Dad’s memory and love little man.
So sorry for your loss.
Tomorrow is not promised.
Live every day to the fullest.
Your dad is watching over you.
Forever
Your beautiful Dad is there just next to You....also Elvis is there with you❣️🕊
A dying man and he still was able to deliver one of his best performances ever. Pretty incredible.
True
He wasn’t dying he still isn’t even dead now, He put on weight only because the guy that was ill that was about to die so they could switch the bodies over was fatter than he was
@@victoriaarcturus203 that’s the dumbest shit ever. Bro just stfu and let the man Rest In Peace
@@victoriaarcturus203 wtf
Great singing but he should never have been allowed to get to this point and perform when he was this ill. It breaks my heart so badly!
Hearing this man pant through the vocals yet still sing like an opera singer is truely a testament to his talent
I can’t think of a better voice
I once spoke to an opera singer who said Elvis could have had a great career in opera.
I never realized how great his voice was. He was truly talented!
I'm going to clear this up, I definitely don't intend anything disrespecting, but I've noticed that a lot of Elvis fans don't realize that this was a finale to a two-hour concert. He was great here and danced through all the numbers, including the one right before here. I'll say it a million times though, as good as the Righteous Brothers performed this song, nobody performed it better than Elvis.
@@fashfront you're reiterating my point, he shouldn't have been anywhere near a stage and still performed a two and a half hour concert like I mentioned, in the unhealthy state he was in like you mentioned.
The King was dying & still gave a performance unequaled by most! The greatest voice of all time!!!
He has a soulful voice
So tell me are you a fan of Elvis Presley
3:29 You say the king is dying ... At that time stamp you'll hear him whisper "You can believe it", after singing time goes by, I think he knew that he was dying too
He was/is fine! It's just his weird humour...
В США было 46 президентов и только один король
@@RaxaPKXDoh yes, I saw him last week drinking a pina colada at trader Vic’s. His hair was perfect
Gives me chills everytime I see it. The end was near but he never lost an ounce of his enormous talent. Just want to give him a hug and say goodbye Elvis. I was 9 years old when he passed
Me too, a few days older than Lisa Marie, so sad. Just watched the movie.
He literally sang his own eulogy and I can’t help but want to cry at this performance every time
Yes. So heart breaking when he sings “ I need your love” bc that’s what Elvis wanted more than anything. This was like his farewell song. Heartbreaking and beautiful
Me too... just 60 days before his death, and so young... just heartbreaking
This song plays toward the end of the Graceland tour, and it was impossible not to cry.
It really is heartbreaking and the way they put it in the Elvis movie really pulls at your heartstrings
I never thought it like that. It makes so much sense.
When he hits that “are you still mine” part sends shivers down my spine.
Yes
Same!!
Same! 💯
Yes
Only The Best could do that !!
I think this was the performance of his life, so much talent and love to give 💔
Unico? Star del mondo della musica rock! Elvis voce fascino indimenticabile Elvis amore❤ sogno 👑🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️🐕✋💥
You can see his eyes welling up, his cheeks filled, his mouth shaking.
A man who was in a dire, sickened state.
And yet, note after note, he hits each one impeccably with such passion and conviction.
That is truly what makes him one of the very greats!
Best endscene ever. Goosebumps
If you know you know
I cried watching this!! Loved the movie! ❤️
I was in bits!
Where is the film on please?
@@broganwatkins4359 it's not out yet, it'll be like this for a month or more, so only theaters for now unless you wanna watch it with phone quality
My mother was THE biggest Elvis fan. She passed in 2007...I’m not joking when I say this...we played this version of Unchained Melody when she was taking her last breaths. She let go right at the peak of the song. When I saw the movie last night I absolutely lost it crying at the end 😭
Wow this literally just made me tear up..
My grandma introduced me to Elvis. I’ll be forever grateful.
That was so sad,Im sorry....but its still pretty beautiful. ❤❤
😭🥹 rip her and Elvis 🙏🏽
Im sorry for your loss..at least she rested in Elvis peace. 😔😔
It’s so tragic what chronic addiction does to a person, he was only 42 here. It’s hard to contain that much talent and genius in a human body, it seems to inevitably lead to self destruction but he shined regardless
He wasn't communicating well just talking but when he starts to sing the song - it's like he found his mode of communication. So much emotion packed into this song. I am moved
What is the tittle of this song just love it
@@TeeTeeX290 Unchained Melody
@@coreylipow180 Thank u so much
This audience is so respectful, not a noise while he speaks, it's really impressive ! Awesome legendary performance from the King
For real. He was slurring his words and everything, crowd gave him total respect
For all its' misgivings, society used to have some good aspects.
Can you imagine today? With the bad behavior that people have....
@@mollyk5557 did he lip sync in this performance? He seems to be singing there live 😊
@@mollyk5557 no not
Out-of-shape, strung-out, exhausted, knocking on death’s door, and yet:
Better than every “great” singer today put together.
U damn Skippy!!
You can be a fan but thats just delusional..
@@ThornyRoseV not that delusional
Honestly, he's at deaths door (probably should have been in hospital), has performed for 2 hours, can barely speak and still able to belt out something like this live. I at least don't know any todays artist who would come this close, many lipsinc and use effects too to help. I really didn't know that he was this good either and have thought he just sang covers and stuff. But seems he really owned everything he sang.
@@teijaflink2226 True !! 6 weeks later he was in a coffin. Could barely stand, couldn't even talk but yet, as he always did with that magical voice, belt out one of his best performances. Nobody in that condition would even be on stage but he did like 99% of the time to entertain his fans
Drained. Broken. Worked like a mule. But he continued on because he loved his fans. He loved the love he earned from them. A solemn reminder that even those we idolize as superheroes (and I sure see Elvis as a real life superhero) are human. This man gave everything he had. Every single time. The concerts in heaven are surely fucking phenomenal with his there.
When he looks up at his man holding the microphone, he knows he’s about to cut it loose. Powerful!
What a lucky guy that was holding the microphone. Whoever he was he obviously had his stuff together because he was chosen by one of the greatest artists of all time to be on his team.
When he sang "are you still mine" I bet the whole audience had goosebumps.
Judging by the shot of the lovely lady biting her knuckle, I can assure you that she had goose bumps
No doubt all the girls were sobbing like I am everytime I hear this song
My Mom and I were sobbing when this concert footage was shown during the Elvis movie. Baz Luhrmann was genius to start with Austin Butler singing it and then transitioning to Elvis. The audience needed that tribute. It was perfection. What a gift Elvis was to the world as was evidenced by how much applause was in the movie theater at the movie's completion.
Agreed.
My mum was the same she seen this concert when it was broadcasted live back in 1977 she cried to see Elvis look so sick and unhealthy
Part of the film actually has Austin Butler in the costume singing it before it shows the archival footage of the real Elvis singing it. Such a great film and an amazing performance
Oof when they showed the real Elvis I cried. Something about him was special.
@@KDrop84 SAME! I was sitting there watching Austin sing and I was getting very emotional and wishing they'd show Elvis at the end....the second it switched to him the ugly tears flooded. He was treated so poorly. Such a beautiful man, gone too soon. :(
Me sitting in my flat alone and listening to one of the greatest singer and entertainer of all time, still captivating and touching people’s hearts
Me sitting in my car late at night alone and listening to one of the greatest singer and entertainers of all time, still captivating and touching people's hearts...
46 years later his impact on music and people around the world is still felt. Truly one of the greatest singers, showmen of all time. A one in a billion man who left us too early.
Concordo plenamente, uma perda irreparável, nunca mais haverá nada perto do que Elvis foi e é ❤👑🇧🇷
we all loved him bless 😮 sharing him with us for a while
Mir laufen die Tränen...
Jim Morrison oder MJ.
This performance is so haunting yet enchanting. What a man, what a God given voice.
So true. God gave Elvis an extra measure of everything ❤
Especially when you have that special Someone in your head
Reminds me of hurt, by J. Cash. different, but same level of power. Kings
He was in worse but again the best pay attention to his smile beautiful little devil 😈
I wasn’t a huge Elvis fan, but after seeing the movie it was heartbreaking to see the many struggles he faced and what led him down this path, what a beautiful voice and man he was 💜💜
Look for Elvis and Me. That's a good version of Elvis too. There was a few movies done about him
SAME !
I feel the same exact way
Yes I can now say I’m an Elvis fan!
He’s still alive
To watch a dying Man play such a beautiful moment in Time is unforgettable, and I’m just glad I’m old enough to be a part of it! Rest east Elvis you are forever will be the greatest
😪😪😪
No Autotune, no Melodyne, no wave editing, no bullshit. Just pure talent.
:)
Sad that pretty much doesn’t exist today with all these shitty rappers getting popular and famous for no reason
@@Steveo_j8 I know, it’s puzzling! I call it circus music, it’s such throw away garbage. No idea what goes through the mind of an average teenager now. In my time musicianship was respected and we saw great artists emerging. I really don’t think any music being made now will be remembered the same way as Elvis, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin etc. I could list dozens of amazing artists and bands but where are their modern equivalents? Kids are influenced by garbage now, look at the ridiculous scenario that emerged from the Prime craze! They’re not really interested in the substance, it’s just the craze attached to it. The “music” they’re listening to is the same, it’s not about whether the artist is any good, it’s about the sensationalism surrounding them. Here today gone tomorrow throw away trash for the dumb and dumber! They actually haven’t a clue what talent actually is. Look at the biggest charlatan on the planet Kanye West, the loud mouthed idiot has screamed so much about his “talent” that even people who supposedly know about music are saying he’s a genius. They should be ashamed of themselves, idiots! When you look up videos of him “creating” in the studio it’s laughable to watch him sittting with his little toys pushing buttons and stitching presets together, I mean come on! Elvis blows these clowns out of the water!
This honestly breaks my heart. To see him stumbling over his words, totally medicated and then to give his all performing the song. So sad to think just 9 years earlier when he did the comeback special he was at the absolute prime of his life. 42 is no age and to have no one around him to get him the help he needed at this point is just so so sad. RIP Elvis x
What the press and his “Dr. Feel Good did to him near the end is unconscionable. He will always be king. Always
clouded mind, wheezing as he walks around the stage, grossly overweight... stumbles to the piano, can't even lean into his on microphone. then takes one of the most challenging popular music standbys -- already utterly mastered by the Righteous Brothers -- and fearlessly jumps head deep into the song and somehow, miraculously, makes it his own. one of the most tragic and elegiac performances of all time.
How can it break your heart??? This is beautiful no matter what I was going on in his life
He is exhausted from non stop touring and recording that went on for over 10 years with multiple shows a day due to his knucklehead manager!! He actually looks super happy. Watch the movie and learn, instead of commenting about something you know nothing about!!!!
@@elthionel He isn't overweight at all.
In the beginning, he has a hard time speaking and is really struggling. But once he starts singing, all of that disappears and he becomes alive and himself again.
Cause he's high as shit...
Yes, when speaking it’s very noticeable that he’s under the influence of whatever sedative-type medication he was on, and he had a natural stutter too, which you can hear, also exacerbated by the medication. So it’s amazing how completely normal he reverts to once he starts to sing.
@@xdra31 it’s pretty sad seeing him like that but when he sang wow still had the voice it never went away
Elvis put his heart and soul in this song.He had one of the greatest voices that is still with us today.
Proves he is the greatest singer ever.
Anyone else tear up every time they hear this? It's so beautiful
Are you still mine….. so sad
I just saw the new Elvis movie tonite and I pretty much bawled my eyes out the entire second hour. The King was a legend waaay before his time and his version of Unchained Melody is THE BEST ever recorded! My heart aches just thinking of what he would have become had he gotten healthy.
And how about Austin Butler's portrayal of Elvis??? SPOT ON and INCREDIBLE!! Academy Award-winning performance for sure!! He deserves it!! BRILLIANT and talented actor!!
Anyone who didn't tear up has no soul.
@@jennab313 My gosh! I watched yesterday, too, and was NOT expecting to cry the way I did. What a great movie! I caught myself clapping throughout the movie. I didn't even know much about him. He was awesome!
me....
The brightest stars always burn out the fastest. So sad. Hard to believe he thought the world would forget him when he went to the Army. Here it is 43 years later and we're still listening to him. I'm only in my 30s and I think hes amazing
Right there with you sir
Well said sir 👏
I’m 45 and was born 6 months before Elvis died. I didn’t really grow up listening to him but I can tell you that he has had an incredible influence on music and pop culture. My father was a big Elvis fan and I chose “The Wonder of You” to be a song played at his funeral. Ever since then I’ve wanted to learn more about Elvis Presley and his music. I guess in a way it keeps my late father on my mind. :)
I’m 16 my grandpa raised me on elvis , and even took me to Graceland a few years ago , I absolutely love and adore Elvis I can’t wait to see the new movie , sad that not many ppl my age care for him
@@melanie_ro9212 how old is your grandpa?
No need for 15 backup singers or backing track or autotune just raw talent. We need to bring this back !
Nobody can hit them high lows, mids, bottoms, and rumbles like Elvis Presley. A truly gifted and truly one powerful voice..
Although Elvis was probably in his worst state, He still sang better than 90% of singers today, His Voice and sense of humor will always be remembered. When he was at his friends house as a kid, he would drink from the side of the handle which is pretty unique because none of my family has ever met someone who does that. R.I.P Elvis
Priscilla said that on a uk talk show last year. He also didn’t like using other people’s cutlery.
You should check out the song Daydreaming by Radiohead, and Valentine by Snail Mail, there are plenty of great singers today. Just gotta look past the surface level of music! Though Radiohead is pretty damn popular
He didn’t like sharing cups mugs and cutlery
meh
99.9999% of singers today
I was at this concert!!! Elvis was unbelieveably amazing even tho he wasn’t well (sad)….you could hear a pin drop in the arena, and I feel so fortunate to have been able to see him as a young girl!!!! ❤❤❤
You were very fortunate to see this live and in person!!!!
@@alanhumphrey4198 Yes indeed!! I even had binoculars with me 😉 so I could really zoom in on Elvis! An interesting fact… he had bandaids on almost every finger (not sure why) but I found that unusual… he also brought his dad and his girlfriend (Ginger Alden) on stage to introduce them… the entire night was just surreal… 🤩
I wish I could have seen him perform live like you did but I was born way after the fact
@@Ricardo0954 most of the people my age at the time didn’t have any interest in seeing Elvis…but luckily I have an older sibling who was sweet enough to “drag” her youngest sister along to his concert!!! 😉
@@lauralalla3129 your so lucky you had a sibling that loved elvis. I’m the only person in my house hold that actually plays elvis where as my siblings play the new stuff today
TO be able to deliver that amount of passion when death was nearby is a sheer human feat.
È terribile ascoltare Elvis mentre parla in questo ultimo concerto...il respiro affannoso e il suo aspetto sofferente!Elvis canta questa stupenda canzone e la sua splendida voce si dispiega forte e potente...un miracolo...il suo ultimo miracolo per il suo pubblico!!Ascoltare la meravigliosa voce di Elvis per l'ultima volta su questa terra è un momento speciale e sublime...è il suo addio!!Scoppio in lacrime per la commozione....in questo momento amo Elvis più che mai!!Riposa in pace grande e indimenticabile Elvis...riposati dopo tanti affanni.Grazie Elvis per la gioia che hai regalato al tuo pubblico e a me.😪😪😪❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
yes i came here right after Elvis movie. yes i cried 😭 it was beautiful heart-wrenching mind-blowing mesmerizing in awe long live the king
Same! Just finished it like minutes ago and immediately searched this. Truly made me teary eyed
ME TOO
Soon as " in the ghetto" intro came on
Man was dying & still belted it out. Respect.
same! throughout the entire film i was welling up. when it switched from austin to elvis, i lost it. absolutely lost it.
The world didn’t deserve Elvis. He gave so much and so many abused him. We’re lucky to have been blessed with him. What a lovely voice!!
who are you to say what the world deserves
@@marikstongue5663 - who are you to argue this?
@@marikstongue5663 it’s just a stupid thing people like to say after someone dies. It’s a dumb saying that literally means nothing
What a voice 😍 incredible, legendary.
so many abused him?? He cheated on his wife mutliple times.. he took drugs and alcohol.. yeah he's the victim...
The lady’s face at 4:00 says it all. He’s in that state, and still manages to pull off such an awe inspiring performance. There’ll never be another like him
She’s so darn naturally beautiful as well! 😄
I agree with you, indeed Elvis Presley is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,
he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and
always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
When I was young, my dad before he passed away when I was 12, showed me Elvis. I was so obsessed as a kid to say the least. When my dad died, it was so hard to hear Elvis’ voice without missing the times I got to have with my dad. Now I’m almost 20, and when I was like 18 or 19 I watched the Elvis movie, and it hurt so much because it was so beautiful. I’m so much older, but still love Elvis and am so grateful for my dad showing me him when I was practically a baby. I’m so happy Elvis is something we shared.
Consider yourself blessed that you had a close relationship with your father even for such a short time. Many children in the world will never know the experience of having a loving father. Bless you, young lady! 🙏😇
Just saw the movie, maybe the most powerful moment of it.
What a legend
Same! I was crying at this part.. it was heartbreaking
just saw the movie yesterday too..wished he stayed away from pills, make the journey around the world he dreamed of, listen to his wife..sighh
I saw it too.
I was crying.🥲😢🥺
I'm an Elvis fan so I know this song. How they incorporated the real Elvis, was astounding. Hey I always cry at movies, so?
Man... Elvis was exhausted to the point where he can barely put together a proper sentence. But he was still not only bring out his trademark Elvis humour but to stun the audience to the point of absolute silence while performing... This man was truly a gem of a human being and it pains me to think that he's really gone.
I don't think it's just exhaustion. Also his drug use. No thanks to the colonel... I feel so bad for elvis, he put up with so much
@@grahamwaters3962And the extra weight.
Best version of the song ever done......he is still the King @
@@grahamwaters3962 I say it's a mix of both. He probably did a crap-ton of shows prior to this and the colonel approved the use of using all the drugs possible to keep him awake and mentally present enough to perform.
@adamstar7516 Weight is not always a factor in a person's death. Sometimes, it's how hard they have lived
He was near the end here, just weeks away from death, and yet he was so much alive during this performance. It is so raw and majestic. I dare anyone to watch this and not be moved.
Its amazing how out of it he is w his words talking but omg does that change as soon as his fingers touch that keyboard. Beautiful is hardly a compliment to this preformance
This was both the saddest and most beautiful showing of talent. Godly and so real, flawed, yet a flawless performance. Among the most heart wrenching performances of anyone who set foot on this planet.
It’s a lot like bird’s lover man performance where he could barely stand. Pure talent shines three the pain.
Elvis was a narc, in rhinestones after dark
He did his best to keep Memphis drug-free
He knew every pill he'd eat, would be one less on the street
Elvis took 'em all for you and me
Absolutely i left a comment but youv put it better i was completely blown away where he got the strength from is totally amazing ❤❤❤come back soon Elvis and hopefully you wont have to go through the suffering that you endured during your former life god bless you our dear Elvis Presley ❤❤❤😇🌹🙏🙏🙏💐🌷😍
Well, he most definitely wanted to be heard. If you can feel a performance it doesn't matter how bad it is I think. You're definitely right. :( #feelings
You’re a great writer. Be well
This transition scene in the Elvis movie gave me goosebumps and I cried like a baby. He was a beautiful man and will always be a legend.
Stoned out of his mind but sang this 100% perfectly! If ever there was a musical genius then you just heard him! RIP King!
He was a real talent. Too bad he didn't take better care of himself.
@@johnreidy2804 Agreed. I was too young to understand what death was but I'll never forget that really sad feeling that was in the air on the day of his passing. I think that's really my first memory on the meaning of death because that's all everyone talked about, and they were all so depressed.
@@jimdent351 All he had to do was keep his weight under control and stop taking all the drugs. But I suppose that when you can have anything you want and a good share of lack of discipline this is what happens
Very sad
Ladies and gentlemen, the King
He was so unwell. I wish someone had protected him better. When an artist is in that shape someone has to protect them. But, they are money producers like work horses. It is sad. Elvis was so incredibly warm and such a great singer. I am not an Evlis fan but he was a great singer. May he find peace and be singing with purity wherever he may be. Godspeed Elvis Presley.
I agree wit yu 100%but i came to an understandin da at da time he was da boss i mean who could stop em.,
Well said sung
They tried. He wouldn't listen. He was a grown man and as much as I love Elvis my whole life, I've come to realize in recent years that you can't protect people from themselves if they won't admit they need help. Elvis was very difficult to talk to. He had grown so accustomed to being ELVIS that he became his worse enemy
Not a fan ? Why post how can’t you be a fan of the king wow pathetic
All of what you said... but that voice... amazing
I love so much that at first he’s hard to understand, he’s looks awful. It seems like whatever is about to happen will be a total train wreck, then he pulls something perfectly from his soul. So beautiful.
Amen... that's exactly what I was thinking.
I think he looks great! And sounds even better!
@@MonteLeeMyPOV he doesn't look great does he, his actually about dead on his feet.. R. I. P Elvis
@@MonteLeeMyPOV He looked terrible, so sad to see him like that and so young.
The film showed this footage a little bit :(
Amazing! I'm a medical person and this guy is 😮so short of breath he can barely talk on the way up to the piano. Then he goes on to sing magnificently.!!!
Im 72 this makes me sad love him so much miss him god i pray he's resting in piece ❤❤❤
Elvis would perish less than 2 months after this final epic performance. Some say he never died & I agree because he lives on within the hearts of all of us who love him.
@Conor McTapOut hey thanks for pointing that out
@Conor McTapOut what these cringey fanboys don’t understand
Amen!!. I saw the King in ‘77 in Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY on Long Island I was 10. Loved Elvis always
@David Williams fair and midline, how about yourself hoss?
Elvis isn’t dead he just went home!
The trailer for Elvis' movie got me here, been searching for the song and boy it's worth it! I'm not born in your era but My grandpa always listens to the king's song, grew up hearing it and loving his songs.
I can't find the actual song on streaming
Looks amazing
elvis is for all ages and eras. welcome!
Good on you keeping elvis’ memory alive. I’m 27 my dad was born in the 50s and has always loved elvis. How amazing is his voice. He’s not only “hound dog”. That’s for sure
Same! Saw trailer and came to find.
My God he's half dead and sounds better than anybody else I ever heard that voice won't die
i’m not okay. but when i hear him he pulls me back so i’ve made a habit of listening to this video at least once a day.
hope you’re doing okay these days
He says to himself “stick with it” right before that massive, massive breath before the high note at the end. Beyond epic. Stick with it, everyone. God bless. ❤
Awesome 👏
He have a soulful voice!
This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Elvis? And Happy New Year 🎊
I thought he said "Hit me with it!" like the guitar and low brass coming in lol
@@YelloHowAreYou0706 I think you are right.
@@Qwerty8139 Elvis was always a badass.
TCB brother ⚡
@@Qwerty8139 absolutely!
I would like to get to know you more better if you don’t mind? Where are you originally from? And where do you currently live?
I’m from memphis and I spent so many years not taking a interest in Elvis, judging him before I even gave him a chance, I’m 31 and I still have a lot to learn. I see him in a whole new light since watching the Elvis movie and doing research about his legacy and how he was betrayed. Elvis is timeless, I see why thousands of people come from around the world to visit Graceland every year. Thank you for leaving a piece of yourself here with us, in your music, from a little black girl in Memphis.
You have a warm heart ,thanks and blessings to you.
Same sista. Same.
Same now I want to go to Memphis 😢
@@Franniecds you should come, I rode my there yesterday. People were out there, they have tours everyday. The plane, the hotel, the guesthouse. It’s nice! I’m going to take my son to see the Lisa Marie 😊
Same here. Now I know the greatness
I had no idea he played piano! And oddly he wasn't that fat by today's standards. How amazing was his voice.
god created the earth and the heaven and when everything was finished in his immense wisdom he created elvis
They ended the movie with a bang when they played this clip. Absolutely in awe of the whole thing. Elvis has been a huge part of my life as a kid growing up. My entire family always playing his music whenever we got together. Him and his music holds a special place in my heart.
Where was your comment before the movie came out? You are just a band wagon fan because he is the latest trend.
Same here. grew up with my parents listening to him and now I’m a big fan of his :)
@@skippy6660 as if you would have seen if she’d commented on other elvis videos before. Get a life.
@@skippy6660 thank u all of a sudd3n everyone loves elvis🤣 im not even a fan at all its just funny watching these posers all of a sudden be fans 🤣🤣
@@metalhead6663190 Who gives a fuck, what are you the fan police. That's the great thing about music, generation after generation can discover it in their own way. If you ask me, a real poser is someone who tries to make people feel like shit on the internet because they're miserable with their own life. The movie means more fans, and more ways for the music to carry on... that's a legacy. The only legacy some people on here will have is being great shit talkers on the internet. Awesome.👍
This is brutal… raw… unique… a punch in the stomach… a light that blinds you… a touch of heaven… a path to eternity… just bow to The King, 51 Days prior to his death!
Totally agree. The light was blinding
Wonderful words you' ve chosen.👍Elvis will rest in our hearts forever!🎶🎤🎶💞🎼
he was overweight, and had bad health. Yet, he still made the crowd happy.
It came from the deepest of his soul.
A performance that is nothing short of haunting, and completely captivating even 45 years later. At the 4:00 minute mark of this video, the camera cuts to a young woman in the audience. Her eyes are trained on the king. She's perched in rapt silence, index finger pinched between her partially open mouth. In that moment, nothing on Earth mattered to her but this song and the man who sang it with everything his soul had left to offer. This was Elvis, and this was the genuine impact he had on generations of fans, encapsulated in the visage of one unnamed fan for eternity.
This is a beautiful comment
Yup he still had it until the end. RIP
Relax 🤣
@@Ghost-Of-Kyiv- you write so beautifully yourself 🙄
What I thought, you captured perfectly, well done.
Rip Lisa Marie Presley
Elvis was A true badass. He had caretakers but he could sing his heart out till the end.
I visit this song at least 2x a week at a very minimum. Hits me so hard in the heart
Are you ok? I wonder if you come for the song, or something more.
Something more ? Like what ?
What is the tittle of this song PLEASE HELP..just love it
"I going to be 40 soon and no one will remember you"
Oh Elvis, Alot people still remember you, Even people who wasn't even born in 1977 remember you, even i born in 1999 and i remember you, You are a icon of Las Vegas & Casino, You're always be King Of Rock n Roll
Rip Elvis Presley
Amen............ Amen.......... Amen..............
no one will ever forget him no one
He and his manager stole most of his music from black musicians. This is know. He's no king.
@@jcampevo
You don't think we don't know that? Of course we knew he didn't make those song. Even Elvis himself told us he not original of alot song
@@jcampevo WE WUZ KANGZ
When you realize the context of this performance it makes it so much more emotional. This was his performance in the last few weeks of his life, where the years of drugs and being trapped in an 8 year sentence of tirelessly performing high energy shows night-after-night in the same venue...for EIGHT YEARS. 80 shows year-after-year, the opportunity of bringing his talent across the world started fading, he was falling apart quickly and still miraculously withdrew that incredible, larger than life performance deep from within him. After such a tragic final chapter of such a legendary life, he delivered one final masterpiece as a ribbon to tie up one of the most prolific music careers.
Also, that girl at 4:00 is absolutely fucking gorgeous I just hope she not my grandma
😂😂😂😂
But yeah...he is the undisputed KING
Wonderfully expressed that mate 👍
Such a sad life he lived.. :( also I agree that girl is cute asf she probably like 70 now tho
He said “hit me with it” not stick with it lol
A legend departing like a God ❤
He was out of breath BEFORE he started and he was absolutely amazing!! So powerful! R I P Elvis! 🥰
My grandparents both went to this concert and said it was absolutely magical. The amount of respect people had for this man even after his ridiculous decline in health and ability is astounding. Even more so, his ability to sing at such a high level despite his state. Elvis defined a generation of music and basically invented music as we know it today. And to have his amazing career end on this song of all songs is something written straight out of a novel. Truly amazing performer and a true talent.
This wasn't his last performance. His last performance was in Indianapolis. The movie made this seem as if it was his last performance though in order to make the impact they wanted.
Man grandfather absolutely loves Elvis, his “side piece” as my cousin calls her loves him too (our(my cousins and I) grandmother died 21 years ago) I’ve learned almost all of the songs on the Elvis station on his Sirius Xm radio. You gotta spend time with the old people in your family and love them because yes they’re a pain in the ass and totally not politically correct, but they’re family and when they’re gone you’ll miss them.
I have one left and he LOVES Elvis, so I try and see him and get to know his music. He’s fun but also a 1930s baby so there’s parts that aren’t fun but that’s what grandkids have to put up with.
I saw the concert in Louisville right before this one. He looked 10 feet tall on the stage. Great show
Such a great entertainer even at the end his great voice never let him down looked so tired luv u elvis god bless u
Just 6 weeks before his tragic death. Elvis was riddled with pain from a rare inflammatory disease. Organs near death here... And Elvis gives a Herculean performance of this stature of a song everyone knew was beyond stunning. It catapults him to absolute greatness. Theyll be talking about him and studying him for centuries, millenniums.
Legend
He died of constant drug abuse
He sold his soul
Drug abuse my dude
And he knew he had nailed it. I love that.
Greatest performer ever. Even though he had a hard time. Still did great here
Greatest performance ever
7 weeks later he died... you can see his body was already broken, but his voice was still incredible and amazing
I cried like a baby in theaters when they played this.
This guy was a gift from God
Elvis … this performance breaks my heart every time I watch it….. if u listen to the song … i believe he was signing to his mom💔
"I'll be coming home, wait for me" had me in tears! Such a legendary performance - he gave his life to each note and yet after the song ends he so kindly thanks the audience for listening!! Elvis forever!!
💕💕💕
I came here after watching the 2022 Elvis movie and bawling after this scene. The lyrics, his passion and soul hit me hard with my parents having just passed in the last two years. Oooph, this one hits hard.
Tremenda canción y tremenda voz todavía, espectacular
I think he knew.. He was reunited with his Mom - finally
Kōnnyezve hallgattam én is, szìvszorìtó volt látni hogy minden erejét beleadta , hogy megfeleljen a közönségnek.
ÖRÖKKÉ ÉLJEN AZ EMLÉKE !ÖRÖK SZERETETTEL. ❤❤❤
At the end...saying "Thank you...that's very nice of you" to the applause...after just giving one of the all-time great performances thru the pain of being near death...and for those simple, humble words still to come out of his mouth. CHILLS.
That resonated with me too. It feels odd that he's thanking the audience, when I (we) full such profound gratitude. He certainly didn't seem aware of what a special gift he was giving to us :)...himself...and the beauty of his voice and a song.
Now my money is all spent
Because to Gracelands I went
To see those things I really had to see
I don't mean to spoil it
But he died sitting on his toilet
Isn't that a lovely memory?
- Pinkard and Bowden "Elvis was a Narc"
@@ernestodelaserna9494 why don't you experience a Massive heart attack yourself, then tell me how it feels, ..? Elvis never would had chose to die that way, ok? Have some respect, he is no longer here to defend for himself !
Elvis, every life is precious to Jehovah. You and your voice and love. Resurrected to Jesus' reign. The most humble, and so talented. 💖
He has a soulful voice
So tell me are you a fan of Elvis Presley
I agree with you, indeed Elvis Presley is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,
he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and
always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days…
His last concert, maybe 6 weeks later he passed away 😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤! I don’t never forget you! THIS IS ELVIS |||| THIS IS MY IDOL,…… I think YOU ARE ALL together after 47 years, you lovely daughter, your beautiful mother, daddy, the TCB (Jerry shilling is still alive, hope for long time), Joe Esposito, sunny west, red west….. Lamar fike …..!!
This dude was such a legend he LITERALLY poured the last of his soul into the last song he ever sang. This man will NEVER be forgotten.
I never understood the hype of Elvis until watching the movie. I get it now I truly get it. Elvis was pure magic. RIP king.
Elvis is 👑
This is THE BEST version with no overdubs or orchestrations - just Elvis ans his piano.
I was fortunate enough to take my mother to see Elvis in 1977. She died that year and so did he. I haven't ever forgotten how happy she was to finally get to see him. May they RIP for an eternity 🙏😢✌️❤️🌼
He plucked this performance from the depths of his soul
This guy is gonna be huge!
Even in this state, I'm just blown away by how he sat down and effortlessly handled the piano like a boss, as well as holding so much depth in his vocals; and he just sang this absolute masterpiece for all time. I hope people can appreciate this, because it truly was genius.
it was prerecorded
