He is always so gracious when he gets presented with gifts and from fans. Elvis was just the best and will always be the best 🥰
Elvis is always very humble with his fans, he truly loves them.
Yes he was really appreciative of gifts from fans, Priscilla said he saved everything fans gave him ,teddybears,letters etc. He was a truly great and loving human being besides being an awesome performer.
Those twinkling blue eyes and that gorgeous voice always comes through. Elvis never got over being nervous before going on stage. I love seeing Elvis relaxed. Thank you David. I never noticed that Elvis was wearing a different suit until you mentioned it and I went back and looked at the other footage of the press conference.
My friend went to Graceland he was a painting contractor. He told me an interaction Elvis had talked with a reporter. The reporter asked Elvis about an expensive painting in the room. Elvis said I don't know much about art, but I can appreciate a good house painting. That sounds like Elvis
& His respect for common people
Sounds exactly like what Elvis would say. Love your comment! Thanks!
You get the sense when he received those awards he seems surprised, I think deep down he always felt, “wow I’m just a country boy from Mississippi how did I get so blessed?” Blessed in many ways
I met my hero...Elvis, and knew him from 1973 until he passed. And no, he was not a disappointment in any category. He was better looking in person than any photo ever (I believe it was an evangelistic anointing upon him); he had the sweetness and playfulness of a child, and he, by his natural openness, made me feel completely at ease within about 5 minutes, even though I was so nervous on arrival (I was just 17 when I first met him). He didn't project any pretenses... he loved to converse, and had a natural inquisitiveness...he wanted to know every detail of your life while listening.
If you mentioned any song you liked, he would stand up and either sing it to you a cappella (he did this for me with "Softly As I Leave You" and another time with "It's Over," (he just spoke the lyrics that time, because I told him there was one part I couldn't figure out from the album) or he'd hail Charlie Hodge to play the piano and sing it there. (This was in his Las Vegas Hilton 30th Floor suite.) Anyway, my point being, is that he was far from a disappointment, from his strikingly beautiful face to his all-embracing personality, his sense of humor, his walk, the sound of his speaking voice (soft and Southern-gentlemanly), to his interest and love for people, he had the most riveting presence of anyone I ever encountered, before or since. Thank you for doing the videos! They're so good!
Can you tell us any more about how/when you met him?
@@youtubeuserthinker Hello there, and yes I can! I was 15 when I first saw him perform in Las Vegas in August 1970. I lived in Los Angeles, and my grandma drove me from there twice a year (February and August) for 4 days each time, which meant 8 shows every time we went. He performed 2 shows a night at the Hilton. By attending that many shows, eventually I became acquainted with members of his entourage, including his father, who I met first in the Hilton coffee shop where he invited my friend and me to sit with him, and we had sodas and a lovely conversation.
But it was Joe Esposito who first invited me to one of Elvis' after-the-late-show parties, which were typically very small and intimate. After that, I was invited to those get-togethers whenever I was there, and even to his home at 144 Monovale Drive in Beverly Hills, where he often went prior to each of his Las Vegas stints.
The first time I met him personally was February 1973. (I had already kissed him and received scarfs from him many times during the shows, but I hadn't met him in a personal setting!!) It was in his 30th floor suite, and at that time I also met his girlfriend Linda Thompson, a lovely, kind, beautiful and open-hearted woman. After that, sometimes Linda would invite me to sit in Elvis' booth with her, and other times, come get me from the audience after the dinner show and take me backstage to the dressing rooms to be with them between shows. That's how it all began, and for the next 4+ years continued until he passed. I met some of his other girlfriends during those times, Sheila Ryan, Ann Pennington come to mind, but Linda was my favorite and so well suited to him. She made such an impression on my life, as did Elvis, that I remember her sweetly to this day too. And that, fparkes5781, is the how and the when of how it all began....
I could listen to you talk all day.😊
@@youtubeuserthinker Yes, of course. I did once, and it was posted, but it seems it's been deleted. Did you ever see my original post in answer to your question? Well, I first met his father in the coffee shop at the Hilton Hotel, who invited my friend and me to sit and converse, so that was a beginning, but it was Joe Esposito who made the first introduction when Elvis was rehearsing at RCA Hollywood. Then in Las Vegas, Joe and/or Red West also invited me to Elvis' after-the-late-show parties. That's how it began. I was also invited to Elvis' home in Beverly Hills (144 Monovale Ave). (I lived in Los Angeles, so his entourage would let me know when he was going to be at his Monovale home, which was often right before his Las Vegas stints.) Hopefully this gets posted.... sorry for the late response...I don't know why the first one got deleted.
@@youtubeuserthinker Hi there... yes, and I posted a response on 3 different occasions which posted at the time, then when I came back to check, had been deleted. I have no idea why... let's see if this short response makes it to you, and if so, I will try one last time for the response.
Elvis is adorable when presented with the golden records by Rca. "Unbelievable ! beautiful !" So humble. Elvis, YOU are unbelievable...
He’s like a little baby when he came out for the interview. Look at his smile he was an awesome person.
Total doll 💜💜💜him
Any new footage of Elvis is greatly appreciated. 1972 was an awesome year for him. And he looked beautiful. Excellent video. Thanks.
Yeah he really looks good and it was a very successful year!
Elvis was a good man. Generous beyond words, always kind and respectful to fans. Celebrities these days could take a lesson or two from Elvis. Thank you for this. Any new found footage of this beautiful soul is a treasure. xx
I was at the Madison Square Garden concert 2 nights in a row with my Mother. We were so excited & loved him so much & when he came on stage HE WAS BEAUTIFUL. WE WERE IN SHOCK. I LOVE ANYTHING ON MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY NEVER MADE A VIDEO FROM MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. IKNOW THEY MADE AN ALBUM WHICH I HAVE & I TREASURE. I LOVE THE CONFERENCE OF THAT NIGHT HE WAS ADORABLE SHOWING OFF HIS BELT IN THAT BEAUTIFUL BLUE SUIT & THAT CUTE SMILE OF HIS. HE WAS SO CUTE & BEAUTIFUL. I remember standing on line early in the morning in N.Y. WAITING TO BUY TICKETS. IT WAS SO EXCITING. NEWS REPORTERS & CAMERAS ALL OVER IT WAS A BIG HAPPENNING IN HIS LIFE BEING IN N.Y.. 1972 IN MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. IT WAS SO EXCITING FOR MY COUSIN LEE & I WAITING FOR TICKETS & WHEN MY MOM. COUSIN GRANDMA & I WENT TO HIS SHOW IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. THE FIRST NIGHT MY MOTHER & I WENT ALONE TOGETHER. ELVIS WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. I WILL NEVER FORGET THOSE NIGHTS. I HAVE THE CHILLS RIGHT NOW UP & DOWN MY ARMS. WAS A HIGHLITE OF OUR LIFE. WE LOVED ELVIS SO MUCH. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE HIDDEN SOMEWHERE FROM MADISON SQUARE GARDEN N.Y. THAT WAS I HIGHLITE OF HIS LIFE. I HAVE PRINCE FROM ANOTHER PLANET FROM MADISON SQUARE GARDEN WHICH IS EXCITING BUT THERE MUST BE MORE. ELVIS IS THE MAN
I think there is more footage then Graceland put out.
I have load's of rare footage of the man. I have the new years
EVE 1976 concert, And it's fantastic. He even sings our
auld lang syne. Iv'e seen loads of 1972 stuff that would blow
your socks off. And you would not beleve the 1970 That's
The way it is footage that was missing from the film.
Some of it even better than what was on the original DVD.
I have the dulux Edition, And there's still not everything on that.
Take a look at you tube to. Priscilla surely could put some of this
on to a DVD for us to enjoy. It's always the same stuff. 1968 comeback
1973 hawai concert. That's the way it is. repackageing the same thing
over and over to just grab our money. Witch i can't understand.
because if she put the stuff out there the fans would buy it.
Elvis was so handsome ❤
There is never a time Elvis didn't look great. There may be a time Elvis was sick while performing but he was always great and he was always the most beautiful man in the world. He never let his fans down.
My Grandad use to say Elvis is the man Amen 🙏
I have been following Elvis since I saw him on the Ed Sullivan Show and have seen him 10 times in person including in Vegas and I really like your comments on his shows. I was at the show in Pointic Michigan. I don't think anybody liked entertaining more than him.
He REALLY LOOKS GREAT HERE!! ALWAYS loved this but 1st time seeing the day before so Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank everyone for expressing your thoughts and times with Elvis. Never be another like him. Forever Missed!
I know a lot of you may not have been born then. I was 14yrs old & heavily into Elvis - although my friends were either into The Osmonds or Bowie. The interview was shown on the news in the UK! (no 24/7 news or tv then...& obv no internet) I got a badge with a pic from it & wore it on my bag to school. Thank you so much for showing the extra footage! 💖👑⚡
the greatest entertainer - so humble and simple.
Excellent footage find, that is definitely backstage at the Madison Square Garden press conference as these photos have been available for a long time, but really great to see film footage. I would think he was presented with the gold record for burning love possibly at that time but can not be 100% sure. I really want to know who is the guy with his hand on Elvis shoulder ? Up close n personal for sure. He sure had one hell of a work ethic doing so many shows and at such a top quality in 72 they must have been exhausting at times. Thanks
I should probably look this up before commenting but I think burning love came out in August? He did start to perform it live in April but I don’t think it was even record until the end of March.
Thank you for putting these rarely seen footages of Elvis. People were always giving him some kind of plaques or awards backstage .I wonder if he kept everything and if they're on display at Graceland?
I know he said he kept them at Graceland and then one day he wanted to do tours.
An entire trophy room houses all of his gold records and awards at Graceland. It is a separate building adjacent to the house, overlooking the pool. It is included in the tour
ua-cam.com/video/W59m2DRbmBw/v-deo.html
All awards were kept and are now on display. Eventually, the awards were so many and so frequent that RCA merely mailed his awards to Graceland.
Awesome, 69-73 were great years for Elvis. I imagine in 75 and 76, Elvis wondered if he could find that guy again.
cool video backstage at Madison Square Garden ‘72 keep up cool video my friend
Bull Crap!! I saw Elvis 5 times in Vegas in December (the last time he played there) He was phenomenal !! One of those shows he had a pinched nerve down his leg and back, and ended up sitting down on a tall stool most the time.. But He was still Excellent, and sang his heart out!! Seeing a grimace of pain several times on his face was hard to watch.. but you had to love him more.. Elvis never let anyone down!! HE ALWAYS GAVE EVERYTHING BACK TO THE FANS!! The next day Elvis' dad went to the hospital, and that day Elvis still came out again and sang!!! He came out telling us all that his dad was in the Hospital. (Earlier that morning we saw Vernon finishing breakfast and asked for an autograph, he was really shaking and confused.. we knew he was sick, before the concert) Please DO NOT Judge Elvis!! He was human , and all of the 20 concerts I attended, he gave it all!! It was hard being Elvis.. Remember the song "Walk A Mile In My Shoes" thats him, thats all of us!!. Most of all he was a great Man!!
I find it disturbing that videos celebrating the man's talent always turns to talk of his weight, drugs, how he looked, what he should have, could have done differently. It's irrelevant and to be honest not one of us knows the whole truth and never will. It's called a personal life for a reason. It's really none of our business what he chose to do with it. People discuss his decline endlessly like it pains them that it ended so young when in reality its nothing more than a moral judgement poorly disguised. He was and always will be far more than any of us would dare dream of. Vicki
I thank you for showing the back stage of the NY press conference I've wondered was there more to the NY press conference in total ? As far as Elvis singing How great thou art he alway's did good on that song I thought ELVIS GOSPEL songs where his most strongest performances I'd rather hear Elvis sing gospel than just about any music but oh my how good he was on ballets & message song's he should've done more on those hey I loved them all being a Christian it strengthens my faith I watched til the end what can I say I love the man & 40 I think if he took better care of himself & he got more songs like in the ghetto if I can dream Kentucky rain burning love if he got serious material like that who know's & what we all have missed out on I think he would've got out of the jump suit faze has the 70s ended but we will never know GOD BLESS ELVIS ALWAY'S!!!
Really enjoyed the backstage footage. Always finding new songs, stories or footage of Elvis . Love it
I had never seen the backstage footage. I love hearing Elvis sing How Great Thou Art. You can tell that he had great faith in Our Lord. Thank you so much for the unseen footage of Elvis.
It has always annoyed me that Larry Geller led Elvis astray via numerology, astral projection and other forms of "spirituality." But God says, "I give them life everlasting; and they shall not perish forever, and no man shall pluck them out of my hand." John 10:28 No matter how far from the narrow path Elvis walked, God never abandoned him and took him when the pain got too great.
@Johnny NotEnglish Oh, shut up with your stupid irrelevant nonsensical rebuttal.
@johnnynotenglish9751….What in the Dickens does THAT mean???? Sure sounds like an insult! If so, you should be ashamed!!!! How mean!
I saw him perform at Madison Square Garden in June 1972.
He was amazing!
You were so fortunate to have that experience!
Amazing I’m jealous❤
Wish I had
Mom and me saw Elvis st the garden in 1972 also. Yes he wasawesome and he was on top of his game.
Elvis was an amazing artist and incredible human being. 😊
Any footage of the Elvis Press Conferences is gold. It's interesting to see how he interacts with the journalists. For example, this one, he seemed relaxed and at ease, ready for any questions thrown at him. Compare that to 2 years prior in Texas for the Astrodome Press Conference in February 1970. Wow, he seemed kinda out of his head and very uncomfortable during that one. It's cringe worthy at times. If only we had footage or even audio of the August 1st 1969 Press Conference!
That would be great if we had 69 but we do have the transcript. I think it’s funny how Elvis said he died his hair LOL. Didn’t hide it I think he said because he didn’t want grey!
@@ElvisistheMan_ Yes I have seem the video of you reading the transcript from the book you bought at Graceland, thank you for that, it's gold 😉
The 1970 press conference he was sick with a fever. Just look at him, coughing and sweating. He covered with the Vegas throat excuse, and insisted upon performing anyway. He was a trouper at times.
So much out there let fans see it before they all pass away let's put it out there
Thank you for sharing Elvis singing How Great Thou Art.
Elvis with fans from Norway after his press conference which ended around 5:15pm. About 5:20pm, Elvis met with a handful of fans and hotel representatives before heading back to MSG to rehearse one final time.
Thank you
Thank you so much for showing us this footage. Elvis loved his fans so much and to the point that he just really wore himself out. You can definitely go back and see how he was really declining with his health but even though he was declining he still put on the best shows. I honestly believe he knew his time on earth was coming to an end 😢. I believe he is with God now and no matter he definitely loves the Lord. Thank you so much for sharing another fantastic video!
Agree
Thanks a million times for this site!
Fantastic!
I was there at the Garden! What sound. ! Wish I had been closer up front
It was kinda rare in the 70s to see Elvis in a shirt and pants, I’m referring to the clip of his acceptance of the gold records.
So beautiful he was
In regards to the thousands of pills myth Charlie Hodge during a fan show gave some amazing insights about this. Now I am not living in denial and realize Elvis had a problem with prescription meds and abused them. That being said Charlie explained that when touring Elvis took his personal physician with him as well as having doctors available in certain locations. If Elvis took sick or any of those n tour with him such as vocalists, musicians, crew and security the doctor would make the prescription out to his patient Elvis. Because of this it gives a very exaggerated amount of drugs prescribed. Charlie, a good snd loyal friend, also touched on Elvis’s family history of poor health and early passing. He definitely brought more insight about the meds.
J.D. Sumner also did some great interviews about the meds Elvis took.
As a straight man, he hit the DNA jackpot; talent, drive, charisma, and looks.
I get so angry that he did not take care of himself. 42 is SOOOOOOOOOOO YOUNG! Also Lisa Marie, What a sad life.
Always fun to see something new!!
Wow, a great find. As you said, never heard any fan who met Elvis say a bad word about the interaction.
Feel the need to respond to the comment about wrecking his body with bad diet and pills. No doubt he did, but it was so much more complicated than that.
Last September I was diagnosed with a colon condition which has given me a new understanding of the twisted colon Elvis endured. I can go from being petite size (I'm female) to appearing in mid pregnancy in less than an hour. The pain is horrible, it causes cramps and sweats, reduced movement and a host of unmentionables. What I eat makes little difference and when I get certain symptoms the advice is to reduce intake to what is generally perceived as a rubbish "white stuff low fibre" diet! When food becomes the enemy, reaching for comfort food because a small psychological pleasure and pick me up,
For Elvis to have treatment would have meant surgery, and very likely a stoma for a period of time. Sometimes the colon does not successfully heal and the stoma becomes permanent. For a star like Elvis, and with fewer medical and surgical options in the early 70s, this may have been a risk he was unwilling to take.
When I see photos or footage taken days apart where in one Elvis looks good and in another looks ashen, bloated and sluggish I know all too well some of what he was experiencing and am amazed he made it on stage at all. Even if a "performance" was bad in Elvis terms, that voice was always blessed. And it remains a blessing for so many.
I do believe Elvis had some medical issues and I’m sympathetic towards that but I don’t believe the whole theory that he was just a medical wrec bound for death at early age. I pray for your speedy recovery and that you make it past this 👍🏻
This is so rad, what a great find. Elvis As Recorded At Madison Square Garden was the first album I ever bought as a kid. I've been a die hard fan of Elvis ever since. I'll take any and all footage I can get from that run at MSG!
It was also my first album. My mom gave it to my for Christmas.
Mine too!
Mine also!
After the interview, Elvis received a platinum record for the fact that at that time Elvis' records had sold a total of over a million copies in Norway. Mona Granlund from Norway is under Elvis' arm at 2:20 onwards.
Well done, @elvismesta652! I was going to inform him about it, but I obviously don't have to now! PS: For those who don't know this: Mona Granlund died on 1. February 2021.😢
And Mona Granlund was there with her husband at the time - Pål Granlund - who was and is still running the Elvis Fanclub of Norway (Flaming Star). He is also responsible for many of the FTD book releases like Making of Viva Las Vegas etc.
Great info. Thanks!
Great work for such a young man.
Thank YOU
The press conference was in the Mercury Ballroom in the New York Hilton, so the footage was probably in another room in the same place.
Thk u Davis … this was a beautiful footage of ELVIS bk stage n receiving his Gold records …. yes his performance in 76 was very hard for hm but he gave the performance of his life that nite n yes he looked very tired
ELVIS FOREVER ♥️♥️♥️
fantastic to see the old clips.
Actually i've seen those footage years ago they were on UA-cam but thank you for bringing em back.👍👍👍
That’s one good looking dude man
Woah, super footage, thanks for posting, man. Your love for Elvis is fantastic. Elvis is probably looking down smiling, "Thanks, man".
The 1977 version of How Great Thou Art, is my absolute, favorite version!
He is just stunning as always
Great footage, thanks for uploading.
I saw him at the ANAHEIM STADIUM IN LA 6/76. HE WAS A LIL HI, BUT HE WAS VERY FLIRTY WITH ALL OF US WHO RAN TO THE STAGE. HE SANG BEAUTUFULLY❤❤❤❤
This is fantastic thank you
That is really cool I love this Dave I didn't even know that existed you take care and God bless
Love your videos! Thanks for taking the time to do these!
Hi David ♥
Great back stage footage, Elvis just being Elvis. Just in enjoying the interaction with his fans. I love it when new pieces of footage comes out. So so cool 😎
Thank you David xxx 💝
This is great! It's a pity Elvis at Madison Square Gardens wasn't filmed as per Elvis on Tour. One thing, what about the time Elton John met Elvis. It was when Elvis was in poor form, he wasn't interested in meeting Elton.
I loved this! Thank you
I’m glad
Hi how are you, Iv'e been watching your channel for some years now,
On and off. Iv'e got stacks of Rare footage of the king. And sometimes
you shock me on the stuff you find. I think i might have this though.
I did manage to get the New years eve concert on DVD. Keep up the
Fab work, I like the stuff you put out there for all Us fans to see.
It should be out there.
Fantastic video, I feel you're pretty spot on with what was going on with Elvis. When you're well read, you form an instinct in your gut about what was going on. It's not fact of course but it's a feel for the man and what was going on by looking at him, watching him. I also like that you've read enough to realise there were shenanigans going on from Priscilla as well as Elvis. They were pretty much over by 1969/70 when you consider his relationship with Benning and Priscilla's with the dance instructor. Love seeing Elvis backstage and in my view before MSG, Elvis looks and sounds fantastic.
Yeah it’s cool because you read everybody’s opinion and you kind of formulate your own. 1972 is a great year but also the beginning of the end.
@sohodigital5708 Who is "Benning?"
The woman at 1.12 is Mona Granlund, then wife of Pål Granlund, president of Norwegian fan Club, «Flaming Star».
I’ve been a Elvis fan a very long time . Never seen this video when Elvis is back stage NY . Great Job & thank u . Keep up the great work .
Love him!! ❤❤❤
He was given awards every time we see him arrive somewhere . It's no wonder he let lisa play with them which I heard during the tour of Graceland when they pointed out fingerprints of lisa on gold album awards ...
Brother as usual..... BAM! OUTTA THE PARK GRAND SLAMMY dude!!!💪💪
This is why I love this channel, because my boy EITM is ALWAYS BRINGING THESE BAD M'F'ERS!! This is my favorite press conference he did, because he was absolutely on 🔥🔥 for the tour in June 72!!! You can just tell by his body language, and the smile on his face, that HE KNEW He was the BIGGEST DEAL ON THE PLANET, and BIGGEST & BRIGHTEST ⭐ OF EM' ALL!! NOBODY ELSE WAS EVEN CLOSE, and STILL ISN'T TO THIS DAY!!! The way He's VERY HUMBLE, and answers the questions with total honesty, and without knocking anyone else, even saying
"I think there's room for everybody"
Man that's just TOTALLY FRIGGIN AWESOME!!! My favorite part of this press conference is when he tells the Female reporter "Unless you got something else in mind" That's MY BOY! MY BOY! 💪😎 😎👌
Again brother, I appreciate these, you keep em' coming and I'll keep smashing on that the 👍 button & sharing em' to the 9 Elvis FB groups I'm in!🤜🤛
So until the next video may God bless you audios! ⚡TCB⚡ EAP THE 👑
Thanks man I’m glad you like the video! Elvis was himself in this press conference and I think that’s why we like it so much! Thanks for sharing the videos dude 👍🏻
@@ElvisistheMan_ I appreciate your reply, and sayin' what you did, because it really means a lot coming from you!
I know, like me, you're a no bullshit kind of dude when it comes to the GREATEST entertainer and BIGGEST star this world ever did or ever will see, so bro I really am a big fan of your channel!!! Seams like You and I are Imo the same kind of fans! Over time, I've literally watched all your videos and a lot of the stuff you say, I totally agree, and totally get down with! When it comes to the 70s Elvis era (My Favorite era) it seems as though we're into the same thing!!👍👍
So anyways my brother, I know I can be long-winded on most of the comments
I make, and if that's a problem, and something you don't like, then my sincere apologies! The only reason I can really give you is just that when it comes to this man, and if you really do love Him like I do, It's hard to stop talking about Him, He just always has and always will have that effect on me, the dude really means that much to me!
So lastly, sorry for being so damn long-winded again, but I do wanna say brother again how I really appreciate the hell out of what you're doing' by keeping Elvis's memory alive!! So as long as you keep these bad boys coming I'll keep liking, and sharing on em' !! So until the next one, may God bless you audios......
🤜🤛 🫸🫷😎👌⚡TCB⚡& ✌️OUT.......
I will keep them coming brother! Have a good night!
Great footage! Love to rewatch the MSG press conference. Elvis seemed so at ease and unfazed by any questions asked. Seems like a very different Elvis we saw at the Hilton conference for Aloha just 5 months later. What went wrong?
RX
I really love your approach. Very upbeat, positive. I'm enjoying in my late 60's.
Thank you for sharing. I think the interview was at the Hilton. I remember watching it on TV, knowing I'd see him the next day. The album I have but actually was disappointed. They took out all of his talking to the audience. I would have loved if they left it in. It would have kept the memories more alive. Great job finding more video. I see that blue suit and it brings me right back to June 1972. ❤ 👑
I’ve seen the MSG press conference blue suit at the Elvis on tour exhibition at 02 in London in 2018 it’s made out of a type of polyester material which I was surprised at !
I can never understand why they did not tape at least one of the MSG shows for the Elvis on tour documentary, the one thing I love about this documentary is the interview the film makers did with Elvis only a small snippet of it appears in the movie but a 45 min extended version is on UA-cam and we get to hear Elvis talk freely about many topics without Colonel Parker intervening , it’s very insightful and Elvis sounds clear of mind and really in good form ,it seems something seriously started to happen to Elvis state of mind at the later part of 1972 and he seemed to go into a down hill trajectory that lasted right up until he died , was it his divorce from Priscilla ? Was it boredom with his career that seemed to push him further down the road of self destruction!
DMC, I would like to see/hear the 45 min extended version of the MSG interview that you describe. I did a search but could only find a 26 min one. Can you remember the title or the channel name it was on? Thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide.
I think that Elvis was sort of shocked by the divorce. Even though I believe he wanted it and didn’t want to be married to her that long anyway, it was still a shock to him in a life change. She was the woman in his life since Gladys was gone. And also I wish they would’ve filled one of the MSG shows! Do you think they would’ve since they were around the film everything else?
Elvis and Priscilla were not together when this footage was filmed. She had told him early in 1972 she was leaving him. Linda came along in late July 1972. For all of us throwing stones at his relationships, just remember, we do not know what goes on behind closed doors. Reason I respect every lady he picked to fill the lonliness. To every female who had to endure the memphis mafia around day and night. No privacy. To live like a vampire and only go out at night is very extreme. I love the man since I was a little girl. There will never be another one like him. Thank you for the footage!
The Colonel and Elvis always disliked NY, being southern country types. They found them rude and aggressive and The Colonel especially so since the wheelers and dealers there wouldn't succumb to his demands unlike elsewhere in the states, especially the south and mid west. I think it's telling they never returned to MSG as Colonel knew the hard nosed media there would not be forgiving as Elvis declined. If you study his entire tour itinery it's clear Colonel kept him away from the big metropolitan west and east coasts as much as possible.
Awesome to see this. Love the new info you share.
Very humble when someone gives him anything beautiful man 😢very,very kind human ❤️ r.i.p Elvis xo
Never seen that footage before! We love it! Keep it coming! 👍🏽
❤ So funny when u said “Priscilla was already on someone else!”
Lol true
He was so unique
Elvis will always be the Man! Great show thanks 👍🏼
Love and miss you Elvis, beautiful human being❤❤❤
I really have never understood why The Colonel never capitalised on the MSG shows. I think the fans back then would have been just as eager then to have something to watch at home, as much as the fans of today would love to watch also. This was a massive opportunity missed. Seems The Colonel’s business acumen wasn’t always on point.
I truly enjoy all your videos. Thank you for all you do. God bless you and your family.
Love how you find these rare recordings
Great stuff, love the backstage footage. Thanks for sharing! 😄🙌👑
Thank you Dave❤❤❤❤❤❤
That dam Colonel, wring Elvis like a towel. Fourteen shows he looks tired. Poor guy.
Elvis said always respect your fans, because without them you are nothing!
Thank you. Great pics
He looked great.
The video of Elvis with June 19, 1977 is always special to me, it's my Birthday, wish I was born that year, lol. It was 1949, my birthyear. Thank you for sharing so many Elvis videos with all of us, I truly enjoy them.
Great job as ususal. That is my favorite album cover. That is the quintessential Elvis.
Thank you for sharing
Great channel for true Elvis fans.
Great new awesome footage of Elvis🎉
There was also people from Elvis Fan Club of Norway Backstage that took some photographs. I was given a few copies in 1980's. Elvis had many Two Piece Suits with Different Color Pocket Flaps/Closures. One was worn on stage in Chicago in June of 1972 (A White Suit with Black Pockets and Paisley Shirt), and a Black One with Red was worn offstage during that time. Col. Parker gave out some RCA Pens as souvenirs to the press, and "Buddah" Records released a Record Album of this interview. Elvis had to have his hair "Touched-up" shortly before this, as being out in the sun getting a tan had lightened the tint to a Reddish Brown.
Thats pretty cool thanks for sharing this stuff. I loved the Elvis concerts from 1972. But i've been an Elvis fan since i was 9 yrs old anyways and i'm 54 now.
Спасибо 🙏 за эти кусочки новой информации об Элвисе. Это очень интересно😊
По сути Элвис был очень милый, добрый и красивый человек, а все его негативные проявления можно воспринимать как плату за невероятный божий дар. Кому много дано, с того много требуют. А Элвису было дано Так Много, вот он и расплатился своей яркой, но такой короткой жизнью😢
Thanks for posting! Great videos! One of the guys meeting Elvis backstage in MSG was Pål Granlund, president of the Norwegian fan club Flaming Star.
Yes, I read it too. Maybe in their site I read it was after the press Conference.
I loved seeing him in short sleeves😊
I met him and he was always nice.
Love seeing new footage ❤
