Elvis, in my opinion, is the first artist that has always been hyper aware of his audience. He always wanted to make sure that they got the best experience from his performance... he was an artist that always cared about the best quality performance for his fans!
Part of that comes from the fact he grew up poor and knew that kids would save up a long time just to buy a record or even just play it once on a jukebox. His country roots endured him to the fanbase and partially what made everyone on the planet love him so much.
Very nice footage, thank you. Elvis said he never gets comfortable before a concert, it's a new audience, different crowd. That's a true professional, respecting his fans. Love this man. 🥇🎶🎸🎧🎤
Never got comfortable with a "New Crowd" "New Audience" These were the very same cities that he played so many grueling one nighters in. It's sad. He could have Played anywhere in the world but the colonel kept him in the same old cities doing the same old stuff.
Col. Parker, Elvis manager is an illegal alien with a criminal record and won’t be able to get a passport so he did not allow Elvis to perform in other countries even Elvis really wanted to go and nobody knows it was the real reason at the time.
Devin, your right, I've been there, like 9 yrs old, then 5 more times before his passing. Thank God my parents ts loved him. The electricity was insane, two girls next to me passed out and hit the floor. They had little nurses stations in the isles and they ran over and waved the things under their noses. They immediately jumped back up and started screaming like nothin had happened. Blew a 9 yr olds mind, I chased that feeling w other bands for 30yrs, ain't happening. Nobody ever created the hysteria that guy did, plus he looked so good and was way cool. Nothing like these modern day punks, he didn't have to act cool he was the epidimy of cool. I believe it wasn't meant for him to live long, he knew it, talked about it. There was never going to be an "old" Elvis
@@Hugeroost Yes, I was there too. My parents took me to his concert in Huntsville, AL 1975. I was also 9 years old but honestly I went to watch Ronnie Tutt more than Elvis because I was an aspiring drummer at the time. I learned so much from Ronnie and went on to have a great career in music as a session drummer, producer as well as teaching. I met Ronnie several times at the music trade shows later in life when he was working with Neil Diamond. We had several dinners together along with our reps and he shared many stories about life on the road with Elvis. I was very sad to here when he passed.
@Devin54 same here man sad to see him go, his daughter was on here awhile back. He truly was a great drummer that most don't know about, he could read Elvis's every move and adjust to it. DJ Fontana said back in the early days it was like playing for a stripper. Ronnie is a Texan like myself, damm good man. I would have liked to have asked him the difference I'm playing you Neil and Elvis. I like Neil but he's not in E's zip code. My favorite drummer, Neil Peart, passed not long ago as well. That cat had some chops...
Well if Joe Esposito and the other people who profess to have loved him so much, would have found a way to get him the help he desperately needed, surely someone could have talked to him regarding his drug and food addictions he had. If there's a problem there's always a solution, to convince themselves that they loved him, however he died in the most undignified way - on the toilet while his drugged up girlfriend slept until 6 hours later, there's no use to do CPR on a corpse. He died 40 years at least before his time, but thank goodness for channels like this to show us scenes we may not have seen before. Thanks for your channel.
@@Rob-yu1lw Its very easy to say that but have you ever dealt with an addict? Its very hard they will do anything to get that high. If they dont they will become very mean. Elvis as a youngster according to relatives used to steal his mothers diet pills. Diet pills in the 50s contained meth. So elvis like the buzz they generated. From there he got on uppers in the army to stay awake. and slowly elvis couldnt sleep because of the combination of pills then in the mid 60s came the pain pills or opiods. So elvis was on pills before his fame and continued until his body had to have them. No one in the world could do anything at that time as elvis was a junkie. The people who tried to talk to him elvis just shunned. If you read books on his memphis mafia it tells that they tried but then they just got chewed out bad or fired. I think at that time there was no betty ford clinic or little was known on how to treat addicts especially prescribed pills. So theres no one to blame but elvis himself. He actually got friends and fans addicted to pain pills even his step brothers got in trouble with them. Pricilla and linda thompson did them everyone around him.
Elvis knew that his fans put him on the map, and he never forgot that. His heart and soul were in every performance because of them. Elvis Presley had a God-given talent, but he also had a great heart. His voice made him a star, but his feelings made him a king.
EP was the supreme perfectionist and brilliant engineer when it came to his performances....always conscientious and considerate of everything and everyone around him. Truly one of a kind 💯⚡❤
Very nice to see Elvis in more quiet moments, natural and preparing his show. He was a real Superstar. Would have been nice if there was more of this type of footage. A great time for all who made it work and were there to be with him or see or experience the Elvis phenomena. Must have been something!
Before pyrotechnics, huge lighting, grandioso sound systems WE HAD ELVIS! Down home love and respect for his fans loving what he did and everyone around him.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
I've been an Elvis fan since I could walk. I grew up in a family of Elvis fanatics. My mom saw him 4 times in concert and my aunt Sue got a scarf from Elvis.
He believed in his dreams, he came from poverty and nothing was handed to him on a silver platter, he made his own way. And the world was very different then. You needed talent, and looks and audience who liked you. No autotune and fame-machinery. Elvis was out of this world. The passing of his daughter ends an era. Elvis is heard to say that there's only one king; the Lord Jesus Christ.
Elvis handsome all es stylish outfits top class and es manner es so unsual the ey e sings walks talks moves sexy faces its all him the uhg intro space odessy is out of Ds world then goes into boom boom boom boom then the drums pound in a rage then elvis sings his heart out man
Almost seems like a prize fighter the way he was handled. Maybe that is how it is. I sure do miss him. I was 17 when he died. I was on the “Lisa Marie”, his 707 jet, in 1997 at Graceland. What a thrill to visit his mansion. Now she’s gone too. RIP Elvis and Lisa Marie.
There are three things that happened in life where I remember where I was - death of Princess Di, 9/11 World Trade and Elvis leaving us. I was too young to know who he was at the time but, as I lay in bed, the news broke on tv I heard my mother yell out in complete grief.
Elvis stage intro and presence has such an electric entrance to start his set that no other performer till this day can match he new how to take control once he got on that stage.
Absolutely the most GORGEOUS TALENTED MAN GOD EVER MADE ,I think its funny if you notice most of people around him attempted to copy his style in hair sideburns, clothes if they miss the whole thing he was the one and only no one could have ever copied him what Elvis had was from the inside out gorgeous
You can tell Elvis was managed by an ex carnival promoter because the fans gets everything, he dressed like a star unlike today when entertainers look like they just mowed my lawn, he sounded like a star and didn’t need gimmicks. People miss seeing the full package.
I remember that night I helped Elvis with his Security we had a long talk about the people in the front row left center and I was told to do what i had to do no matter what......rip Elvis.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
This could be 5 years before 1977 , that is Charlie Hodge his stage assistant & this is Elvis Presley for sure. After watching enough videos & photos I know his voice & face. No mistake. Please sing White Christmas.
OMG! This was a great video. I never got to see him in person, but her was a genuine star. To think he would be 88yo is very sad - we truly missed out!
I saw Elvis in Cincinnati 1976 with my Wife, she NEVER screamed when I came home from work like she did at that Concert, my right ear is still Deef!!
That's hilarious! 😂
🤣
Haha. Did you sing to her like Elvis?
She screamed because you stepped on her feet
@@debbiecrum7585 he sounded like liberace
Watching him backstage is more entertaining than todays acts on stage
Elvis, in my opinion, is the first artist that has always been hyper aware of his audience. He always wanted to make sure that they got the best experience from his performance... he was an artist that always cared about the best quality performance for his fans!
Part of that comes from the fact he grew up poor and knew that kids would save up a long time just to buy a record or even just play it once on a jukebox. His country roots endured him to the fanbase and partially what made everyone on the planet love him so much.
That is why he is the King. He cared about his fans so much. A true entertainer. One of a kind.
Very nice footage, thank you. Elvis said he never gets comfortable before a concert, it's a new audience, different crowd. That's a true professional, respecting his fans. Love this man. 🥇🎶🎸🎧🎤
My words exactly! God bless him, he brought a lot of joy
Never got comfortable with a "New Crowd"
"New Audience"
These were the very same cities that he played so many grueling one nighters in.
It's sad. He could have Played anywhere in the world but the colonel kept him in the same old cities doing the same old stuff.
@@fh346 , Elvis apparently didn't like flying in planes so that might have had some bearing.
@@bonniemagpie9960 YES Excellent Point!!
Col. Parker, Elvis manager is an illegal alien with a criminal record and won’t be able to get a passport so he did not allow Elvis to perform in other countries even Elvis really wanted to go and nobody knows it was the real reason at the time.
He was greater than life .. He was so amazing it seems almost unreal he was real and he lived .. It’s such a gift to be able to see these clips
You are so right! Could not agree more❤️
Hello Saint😊
He was a coke addict and all you see here are his handlers. He wanted the Beatles banned and went crying to his Cia pals just ask Ringo
No entertainer has ever had the stage presence that Elvis did.
Lol... you never seen some real rock stars I guess.
I had the privilege of seeing him in concert. He was so handsome and cared about his audience. He was loved.
Hello Cynthia 😊
How are you doing today?
That is awesome! You were a very lucky girl..
I love elvis I didn't know who he was until hound dog his song. I was born in 1992 so never saw his concerts!
@@fredjohnson4577 hi scammer

THANK YOU THANK YOU VERRRY MUCH
Elvis was a very smart entertainer…. He understood the crowd..
He’s so grateful person and he was real amazing 🎉 beside I really like his work he’s so talented tho ❤
THE MAN ! THE ONE AND ONLY.....almost 46 years since his passing. I was 8 at the time and my god i still love love love his music ❤️❤️
The magnetism and charisma of this man was out of this world, i can feel his power in this old video
The electricity as he first comes on stage is off the charts! I still get chills watching it!
He’s so grateful person and he was real amazing 🎉 beside I really like his work he’s so talented tho ❤

Elvis and Joe Esposito invented the template, the formula for touring the country. All modern artists still use that formula. Thanks to Elvis.
I would wonder if any other artist has performed over 837 sold out concerts in vegas alone. In 7 short years too.

@@Rob-yu1lw I agree
@@Rob-yu1lw have you seen the film??
Elvis so Beautiful waiting to go on stage. Gets very nervous until He gets out there then he's okay. His jumpsuits are Beautiful
He had such an electricity all around him. My God he was GEORGOUS
@@gregnormal55. It's ok. Yes I am an Elvis fan
Hello, how are you doing today
@@gregnormal55. You are reported to UA-cam for blatant harassment of females, you bot.
@@lynnecrisp "He's" a bot. It's saying the same thing to all the females in this comment column.
Oh my dear Elvis we can see how nervous was before a perfomance. He was a perfect man on all senses.
No he wasn't perfect in all ways! No one is and that's just a human fact. He was talented, he was handsome, a great entertainer, but not perfect.
Sorry not perfect. Drug addict.👎🙁
Credo che fosse la perfezione di Dio nella sua imperfezione umana....certo è che aveva un dono di Dio x noi....è insostituibile... ineguagliabile....
Elvis knew that his fans put him on the map, and he never forgot that. His heart and soul were in every performance because of them. Elvis Presley had a God-given talent, but he also had a great heart. His voice made him a star, but his feelings made him a king.
Elvis never failed to perform....the best ever.
Love this footage behind the curtains...as somebody says, we'll never find a man like him again. He's priceless✨✨✨✨🎇🎇🎇.
The most wonderful voice of all times
He’s so grateful person and he was real amazing 🎉 beside I really like his work he’s so talented tho ❤
He loved his fans as much as they loved him, long live the King!
not sure why they never included this in the Elvis movie - his backstage preparation was usually pretty intense and well known
They did include this in Elvis on Tour
@@tcbep4157 yes, but not the recent Elvis movie starring Austin Butler. Did you think I meant the Elvis on tour movie??
They would’ve had to put an XXX rating on it
He’s so grateful person and he was real amazing 🎉 beside I really like his work he’s so talented tho ❤
Yea especially the 13 year old groupies backstage.
EP was the supreme perfectionist and brilliant engineer when it came to his performances....always conscientious and considerate of everything and everyone around him. Truly one of a kind 💯⚡❤
Goosebumps everytime

Thank you EdithPortugal
Magic. Thanks✌👑👼❤🌹🎄🎅
It’s always nice to see behind the scenes footage! Thanks for sharing
Other than Dracula he was the only man to pull off wearing a cape.
He was 2nd to Liberace. No one could touch Liberace.
Perfect timing
I saw Elvis in concert...1973 and 1975....till this day l remember like yesterday...
Unique Elvis presley ❤️.
Gosh I love seeing him backstage So nervous UNBELIEVABLE

Have you ever heard of a guy named Roy Hamilton that's what Elvis Presley stole his styles from a black man
Before pyrotechnics, huge lighting, grandioso sound systems
WE HAD ELVIS!
Down home love and respect for his fans loving what he did and everyone around him.
He's garbage
Elvis era profesional y perfeccionista. Además de carismático y bello!
I will love him forever ❤

Wow! Great footage! The greatest entertainer of all times, he always gave his best to his fans, even is his hardest times, much respect 💕

Wish i could go back to these days so miss seeing Elvis coming out on stage just makes me want to Cry❤😢😊!!!!
Perfect opening music to use for when he came onstage, it got the crowd going 😊
I loved him in the blue and the red jumpsuits - wish he had worn them more. This was great! Thank you
Todo mundo queria ouvir Elvis

It really is a once in a life time dream to have seen this man sing....how luky l was😘
Elvis was a superior and old soul who was born to entertain.

Saudades desse tempo que não voltará jamais! 🇧🇷
The man was very complicated...anit we all...but most of us never had the talent ...or the pressure ...he had ....
Hello George😊
Love Elvis ❤🔥❤
I miss him so much and I was only seven when he died.
Просто шедевральные моменты выхода элвиса на сцену, эти костюмы прям хочется пересматривать и пересматривать 😍🤩👍🔥
Very nice to see Elvis...missed Elvis forever
Hello, how are you doing
What a showman.
Elvis stage intro and presence has such an electric entrance to start his set that no other performer till this day can match he new how to take control once he got on that stage.
At every show Elvis does he is very good the audience just loves his show and do t know why they wouldn’t I love him
Jesus Cristo Maravilhoso!!!! Elvis meu amor eterno ❤️..... sempre, para sempre...como explicar o inexplicável!!!!
He defines what it is to be a true star. A pure entertainer. God rest his soul. He was a once in a lifetime artist.
Thank You ELVIS

Gone but never forgotten!!! 👑
Quem teve a oportunidade de ver esse mito da música nunca esqueceu
Elvis has to be one of only a few men and women love, it's mostly one or the other but everyone loved Elvis
Loved the red suit...he looked amazing in red.

Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪
he was one cool dude
I was getting excited.. love Elvis 4evr❣️💯% the best
I’m pretty sure the guy on the left at 40 seconds is Red from Road House. He was a high school friend of Elvis who became part of his entourage.
Hello, how are you doing today
Great Jerry one best Elvis friends!
A Legend from movies to music 🇺🇲👍✝️
This could be 5 years before 1977 , that is Charlie Hodge his stage assistant & this is Elvis Presley for sure. After watching enough videos & photos I know his voice & face. No mistake. Please sing White Christmas.
Hello, how are you doing today
I'd say you're right....'71 or '72.
Loved visiting Graceland!
OMG! This was a great video. I never got to see him in person, but her was a genuine star. To think he would be 88yo is very sad - we truly missed out!
Incredible footage of The King.
It’s so funny how his entourage all tried to look like Elvis
Thank you, thank you very much
Perfect...complete package
Every day to be enjoyed ‘!!!🎶😃🎠🎈❄️🎁🌾
