all those who would want information on this appearance should google:
Las Vegas, Sept.2, 1974, Closing Night
ELVIS LOSES CONTROL
from KLAS TV Eyewitness News
I guess that KLAS in Las Vegas must have had some reason to cover it.
---from that story:
"as Chris Davidson told us, its a shame that a man who brought so much happiness to so many was so obviously
unhappy himself. " - Розваги
Elvis was so lonely he took to the stage in the last few years of his life to not only entertain them with music but to talk to them like people he knew his whole life. Artists don't do that today.
Of course they do. Pay closer attention at the next solo concert you go to.
@Danny Gonzalez Seriously?? Kanye just wants to hear himself speak. He is the definition of a narcissist......
Yup. What people don’t know they usually make up to sell stories. Unfortunately, that still holds true for today.
@Cptn_Avery do you think there is soul behind Kanye, is that what ur saying? Cuz if it is man…
Not true there are millions of artists out there and many do that. You just need to seek them out
I don't care if he was high or not, that voice, even when just talking puts a smile on my face.
He didn't sound drug fueled? He was just upset with lies being spread about him. And you're not going to sing that beautifully if intoxicated by any form.
❤
@@gracewins7318 No he does not sound drug fueled.
You want to know how I remember Elvis? A very, very musically talented man. A man who loved the world. A man who loved people. A man who came from small beginnings. A man who was commercially abused. A man who when he needed help, there was no one there to help him. His story is tragic, but his music will live forever. I celebrate that man, and the music he left behind for the rest of us to enjoy ❤
beautifully put 🫶🏽🫶🏽💞
Absolutrly right.❤
I AM FROM Memphis. I saw him at the 2nd to the last concert he ever did there- a benefit for St Judes. if St Judes every was in need- Elvis was there!!!
Thank you. What a special moment to witness. I'd love to hear more
@@annsmith3192I've just seen the latest Elvis movie and never knew there was such a sad story to the King. His manager was selfish
History does not often recognize just how genuinely hilarious this guy was. His comedic timing is seamless and he isn’t even trying to be funny, he is just venting.
TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!!!.
HE NEEDED TO VENT, AND HE WAS TRYING TO LET HIS AUDIENCE/ FANS KNOW " WHAT HIS TRUTH WAS ".
UNFORTUNATELY, ELVIS DIDN'T REALISE, OR MAYBE PRIVATELY HE DID REALISE " , HE WAS ABUSING " PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION ". EVEN TO THIS DAY, PEOPLE ON NARCOTICS ETC , DON'T REALISE THEY ARE ABUSING PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION " , BECAUSE THEY THINK, THE DR HAS PRESCRIBED IT , IT'S OK TO TAKE / USE ,AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU ARE NEEDING MORE, AND MORE OF A PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION/ S ,SO IN FACT , HE ,AND ANYONE ELSE, ABUSING ( TAKING MORE THAN THE DR PRESCRIBED) ,ARE DRUG ADDICTS.
IT IS SO VERY SAD , TODAY WE HAVE DETOX CLINICS, AND THERE IS NO SHAME ,OR BLAME GOING INTO A DETOX CLINIC,AND PEOPLE ARE TAUGHT , ( ONCE THE PHYSICAL ADDICTION HAS PASSED), TO VENT, AND ARE GIVEN " TOOLS ," TO COPE WHEN LEAVING THE DETOX CLINIC, IF THEY ARE " FEELING THE NEED TO USE AGAIN ", BE IT STREET DRUGS, ALCOHOL, PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION, GAMBLING ETC, IT IS ALL PSYCHOLOGICAL, ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN " WEANED OF THE SUBSTANCE OF CHOICE ".
BACK WHEN " OUR ELVIS NEEDED HELP " WITH HIS ADDICTION TO PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION , THERE WERE NO SUCH DETOX CLINICS AVAILABLE.
I'M A CLINICAL, FOENSIC PSYCHOLOGIST, AND NOW A TRAUMA SURGEON.
ONLY IF " THERE WERE DETOX CLINICS AVAILABLE, IN ELVIS'S ERA , THE DRUG ADDICTION, NEEDED TO BE " NIPPED IN THE BUD ," VERY EARLY ON IN THE PEACE !!!!.
ALSO, BACK IN ELVIS'S ERA , IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN " TAKEN VERY WELL, BY FANS ETC ,AND ALTHOUGH IM A DR, THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL , WOULD I KEEP PRESCRIBING NARCOTICS ETC,, EVEN IF IT WAS SOMEONE FAMOUS, BECAUSE I HAVE MORALS ,AND PRINCIPLES ,AND I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH MONEY, CELEBRITIES ARE WILLING TO PAY, FOR PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION, IM NOT ABOUT TO PRESCRIBE ,WHAT COULD END UP KILING A PERSON, NO MATTER WHOM THEY ARE!!.
LIKE ELVIS, WHEN HE COULDN'T GET HIS MEDICATION FROM ONE DR ,HE WOULD GET IT FROM A MULTITUDE OF DRS , AND UNDER OTHER PEOPLE'S NAMES ". SO NOBODY KNEW, EXACTLY WHAT HE HAD ,OR HADN'T TAKEN.
I REALLY FEEL ,SO SORRY FOR ELVIS, HE WAS TAKEN, WAY TO SOON !!!!!!!!!!.
HE HAD SO MUCH PRESSURE ON HIM ,THE FAMILY HAD/ HAS AN ADDICTION PROBLEM.
THERE WAS NO WHERE ELVIS COULD HAVE GONE TO GET HELP.
I LOVE ❤️ ELVIS, EARLY YRS ,AND TO THE END, AND I CONTINUE TO ❤️ LOVE ELVIS.
WHAT A TALENTED, GIFTED MAN.
THE VOICE, THE GENEROSITY ( MAYBE TO A FAULT SOMETIMES) , HIS HUMOR ,HIS LAUGH , HE NEVER FORGOT HIS ROOTS, AND ,WHAT A GORGEOUS, SEXY, SCRUMPTIOUS LOOKING MAN HE WAS .
HIS SONGS ARE EXTREMELY RELATABLE TO SO ,SO MANY PEOPLE/ FANS.
AND WHAT A SHOW HE PUT ON ,,, FOR HIS FANS!!!!!!!!!!.
ELVIS, " OUR KING OF ROCK N ROLL,GOSPEL, WILL LIVE ON ♥️ FOREVER, AND WILL NEVER, EVER BE FORGOTTEN.
NOBODY WILL EVER COME CLOSE TO ELVIS!!!!!!!!.
HE HAD THE " WHOLE PACKAGE ".
GOD BLESS YOU ELVIS 🙌 🙏 ❤️, I HOPE YOU ARE LOOKING DOWN, AND CAN SEE " YOU ARE TRULY LOVED, AND ADORED TO THIS DAY ❤️ ".
TC ALWAYS PLEASE, AND GOD BLESS Y'ALL 🙌 🙏 ❤️.
THIS IS JUST MY OPINION ONLY.
THANKYOU.
I find nothing funny about this at all. I hear a person in great pain.
@@TM-fu2we I don't find anything funny about this either my friend. Addiction is a silent killer, and I myself, was put on heavy Narcotics, due to a fractured vertebrae, and a collapsed vertebrae ( extremely painful), i couldn't walk. My Dr put me on 2 different heavy Narcotics, and a muscle relaxant.
I was studying medicine at that time, and i was on these damn pills , just to get to class, I was lucky enough, that I was a candidate to have the operation/ s , and then when healed, I booked myself into a detox clinic, and got off all the damn pills. And that IS NOT EASY!!!!.
YRS LATER, im now a Trauma Surgeon, and im very cautious ,as to whom i would, or wouldn't prescribe these Narcotics too. Obviously, the patient is in alot of pain, after major surgery, and of course I won't have them in hospital in pain, but as Time goes on, I reduce the dose of Narcotics, very slowly, and with the hope, the patient leaves hospital, not PHYSICALLY dependent on Narcotics. The problem is, it then becomes a Psychological addiction.
I feel very sorry for Elvis, and unfortunately with Narcotics, the longer you use them, the more you need , to stop the PHYSICAL PAIN, and if you have a history of Addiction in the family, well people will take them, if their sad , happy and so on.
Please 🙏 tc always, and God bless you, and all.
Thankyou for sharing.
@@TM-fu2we EXACTLY! The fact that Elvis used Conspiracy & Hoax in the same statement in 1974 should make you question the whole situation of his life. If he never was strung out on drugs like he claims here in this audio video then both 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros. Pictures, and any other production that showcases Elvis on drugs is a complete lie. There is no doubt that Elvis did not want the lies to continue about him, family and his personal lifestyle.
@@TM-fu2we true
Watching this in July , 2022. After having seen the movie “Elvis”, I have a better understanding of what he went through. He was an incredible performer. One of a kind. ELVIS!!!
I have been on a 4 week Elvis kick. Watching ever interview I can find about what kind of person he was. He was a caring, giving man but he was trapped. He couldn't get out of the image. The pills got out of control and poor health is a death sentence. It was such a shame , he passed too soon.
@@lauraharris6987 same with me. Love his candids as well. Especially the phone call with anita, elvis was fantastic in it! Love his swearing!
@@lauraharris6987 same, just watched last night. We bought the movie here on UA-cam. I'm watching every interview, live performance and going to start watching his movies, I've never seen them. My dad loved Elvis and would always show us where he saw him perform live back in the 70s. His music and spirit lives on.
@@elizabethbrady7339 My guilty pleasure are his movies. Viva Las Vegas and Clambake are my two favorites. He was so handsome.
@@lauraharris6987 thanks Laura! I'll start with those!!
He was really reaching out two-the audience for a chat & there it is , he needed some help two this day as a psychologist, l cant see how his friends missed it 🌹💕🌟
There is so much more to Elvis than his music. ❤
Without a song the day will never end, without a song the road will never bend, without a song, a man aint got a friend......without a song, so I will keep singing a song... , E would have been 86 yrs old 8 days ago, it just occurred to me that Elvis has been away from us longer than he was with us, we were damned fortunate and blessed to have known him at all. RIP Elvis Aaron..you are missed.
He is simply venting ❤️ I love that we can hear him simply being human. Love him no matter what ❤️❤️
Lmao Elvis is great, I love him. But damn did he hit the drugs very hard. It happens
s
What was he venting.? Lmao he was on hardcore drugs. You're an idiot.
We all love him but hé was the biggest junkie ever, i mean EVER ! All around him knew it and couldnt save him
Well said mate
I love him to this day! His presence was remarkable and I still remember the smell of him to this day. I still have my scarf. Ty Elvis for the best childhood memories ever!
Walk a mile in his shoes. He had more on his plate than anyone could understand. Elvis Aron Presley was, is and always be the greatest vocalist and musician in the history of recorded music. Sure he had his demons. He was human. I will always respect Elvis and everything he did to contribute to music. RIP Elvis. I’ll meet you one day in Heaven and sing along side you.

He talked to the audience about whatever always. We loved it. 💙
Elvis was a very generous humanitarian. He bought more homes and cars for strangers than most benefactors in the modern age.
If the new Elvis movie doesn't show Elvis connection association with the black artist who he admired and was inspired and his friendships with Roy and Jackie. African American may think less of it but those like me who no the true Elvis will always regard him with respect, also I'm more than sure he would wanted some small point in the film. Elvis Presley greatly admired Jackie Wilson and first saw him perform in 1956 in Las Vegas while Jackie was lead singer with The Dominoes. Elvis really liked Jackie and thought he was a terrific showman. Likewise, Jackie greatly admired Elvis. Both Elvis and Jackie share a connection with Mississippi. Elvis offered to pay the hospital bill after Jackie's collapse from the disabling stroke in 1975. He sent Wilson's wife a check for $30,000. Wilson had been in a coma and was paralyzed since Sep 29, 1975. Born in 1934, he died Jan 21, 1984. Elvis, born Jan 8, 1935, died Aug 16, 1977. Jackie Wilson was one of Elvis' favorite artists. ua-cam.com/video/_s0mWDSGc9g/v-deo.html www.iheartelvis.net/elvis-pictures/elvis-his-generosity-was-amazing Mar 12, 2011 · In 1974, he contributed to a fund for singer-songwriter Ivory Joe Hunter, who was hospitalized with cancer, and he helped pay for Jackie Wilson’s hospital bills following Wilson’s stroke in 1975.

Elvis was a blessing. They wouldn't let black music through. He opened the door for black music."[428] Al Green agreed: "He broke the ice for all of us.

@@leonparham2105. Absolutely Correct! Haha! I Loved Jackie Wilson! Man,. He could Sing! I Still watch his videos on here! I think Elvis may have copied him to some degree & I think Jackie may have copied Elvis in some degree! Haha! They had a mutual respect for each other! After Elvis passed in 1977,. Dick Clark paid the medical bills! Elvis was also a big Cassius Clay fan! They met in Vegas one time,. You should look it up if you don’t know already! Elvis tripped him when he walked in,. He laughed & asked him what are you doing? Elvis said,. I knew that’d be only way I’d get you on the floor! They both started laughing! Elvis told him,. I think I wanna be a boxer,. Ali said,. Nah,. You too pretty,. Leave boxing to me,. You just sing! Hahaha! They were great friends!
Elvis has the Most awesome voice, it's like it pours over you like warm rain! WOW
Love him always ! I bring his voice,the songs,his beauty in my soul !
I love Elvis talking to the audience like friends ,it doesn't mean he was on drugs give Elvis a break!❤
Drugs
So what he still over did it and to me that's that.
Exactly Right! Truth is Most people Have No Clue about Elvis or the meds he actually took!
@@sharondozier5283 You Have No Idea What You’re Talking About!
@@sharondozier5283 How was Elvis overdoing it when he was unconscious and the doctors were giving him medications through syringes how was Elvis able to tell the doctor no if he wasn't even conscious... Elvis never put the needle in his arm himself so of course there's going to be an overdose problem Mainly because the doctors wanted to milk him like a cash cow The King was generous and the people working for him still took advantage Elvis Presley is not to blame here... Elvis Presley would still be alive if it wasn't for the colonel telling everybody that Elvis needed this or that... we'd still have The King here with us...the colonel never gave Elvis a chance to express his opinion and what he wanted to do... Don't blame Elvis blame the people who took advantage of him... the people that he trusted to have his back... killed him instead because of their greed.
This is Elvis being Elvis and making friends with his audience. He loved his audiences and truly enjoyed making memorable, emotional connections with them.
What does that even mean? How do you make a real, deep emotional connection with a sea of faces in the darkness?
Drugs or no drugs,Every person will have a time in their life when a struggle ensue's,Don't be so quick to judge a person,Your time will come...And respect Elvis,He did soo much!!!A lot of people seem to judge him based on a single moment of his life,Look at the whole person and enjoy the good moments he shared with us!!!
Robert Phillips Elvis was addicted to prescription drugs that doctors prescribed to him.. he started taking drugs when he was in the army when they gave him prescription pills to sleep. Nobody is perfect. It’s very hard to live up to an image.
@Como T and you?
@Jimmy Crackcorn 😂😂😂
Thankyou brother, you've said it all.leave this man alone to rest in peace. This was a good man who happened to be a normal every day person who brought so much love and joy to the world.
♥️🙏 Amen.
I love Elvis!!! None of us could walk a mile in his shoes!!!!! What an amazing man!!!!
That's correct love his music very much but hé was the biggest drug user ever, i mean EVER !
You mean you loved his wiggle
And yet you probably never even met the man. And as supremely talented as he was, he was also obviously deeply flawed.
@@generalyellor8188 who isn't deeply flawed, people love Elvis because of his faults as much as his amazing talent and style ...he made people feel good a rare talent
@@pleun315 No! Actually,. He wasn’t! Yes,. He took medicine for high blood pressure,. For glaucoma, his twisted colon, insomnia, autoimmune disease/hepatitis! Elvis had CHF! He was on steroids for the pain of the twisted colon & glaucoma! Both were Very Painful! Have You Ever gone On Stage in front of thousands of people & been in horrific Pain? I didn’t think so! 🙄. You have No Idea What You’re Talking About!!!
I love listening to his voice and I am so grateful someone recorded him. I love his accent; and just that for a short moment of his life, we can hear him again.
I hear a sensitive man in pain and trying to communicate with his fans. Imagine at this point how much Elvis had already accomplished - and how he handled it so beautifully from poverty to riches. One day in his life was like a year for many. I hear his words and think of his sensitivity.
Funny, I hear a man doped up to the gills.
Elvis was a great guy, I heard many stories about him helping people in need and not wanting attention for it.
I LOVE THIS!!!! I LOVE how he goes from this viscous, angry, spiteful threat to rip another human beings tongue out by the roots STRAIGHT into the most sweet laid back version of "Blue Hawaii" you could ever hear! Oh Big E was the man!
It was "Hawaian Wedding Song"
That’s called drugs.
@@chrstphrluis2206. 🙄. Good Grief! You should do some research! 🙄
I love the way he speaks what is on his mind and how he felt... Talking about all those trash talking tabloids, were vultures even then! We can still say the same about the false media running false information! He was truly pissed off about it, and how it affected him, and his little daughter, and his father!
ACCUSING him about drugs, and being high outta his mind, just like they did to Sweet Lisa Marie! She couldn't stand the tabloids either! Here he is on stage telling the truth about the accusations and he still kept his silly sense of humor! I love that how he jokes and changes the words up or makes goofy sounds! He is STILL the very BEST‼️💯♥️ JUST LOVE HIM VERY MUCH AND LISA MARIE TOO~~ NOW TOGETHER IN ETERNAL LIFE WITH BEN TOO♥️♥️♥️🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🏻
you can tell this man speaks out of his soul
Elvis was truely happy when he was singing! His memorabile voice remains for ever in our ears!
I'm 19 years old and have been listening to Elvis since I was little. His story breaks my heart. He had one of the best male voices in music, was an absolute boss yet was remembered only as a dead pill popping singer. I went to Graceland a while back and saw how many checks he wrote to people who needed money. He made sure all of his friends and family were looked after. He was a great man yet my generation doesn't care to hear such a wonderful voice. They'd rather hear Gucci Mane sing about shooting people.
2 hunter w how very true you are i agree
Hunter W. Proud of you and every word you wrote.🙋♀️
You make me feel that all our youth is not totally lost.
Your a credit to your generation be who you are and never anyone else.
Awe ty for that.
If people only think of Elvis during his worst days then you’ve missed the whole man.
He even talks cool!
I prefer listening to Elvis talk than a lot of "musicians" sing.
sexy for sure
me too
Norwegian733 his friend cliff who lived with Elvis said he was a smart man he lived at my studio after Elvis died
Julie Nabb d
He so cool
NATURAL TALENT
Elvis speaking his mind, I love it!!!!!
Elvis was so much more than being remembered for being addicted to pills…. Why is it everyone wants to bring up and remember people for the negative…. He did so much good and no one else could walk in his shoes and deal with being the most famous person in the world…. Let’s remember all his goodness and greatness it far outweighs any bad….
because it was the cause of his demise Michael Jackson and prince looked up to him and look how they passed early as well. its the truth
Even Mr Elvis Presley's speaking voice was so beautiful,I could listen to him all day,Its just a pity he needed to justify himself like this in public,We dont own him
If you can't tell he is on drugs talking in this clip then your kids can get away with murder
Marketing Heavy Duty Tow Companies lol
You are absolutely right, Elvis didn't owe us a thing, but unfortunately, he thought he did?😂 He was raised to appreciate the many blessings bestowed upon him. Do you think that he wanted to appear in public like that? That's why he was so wasted and panic stricken.
So mean, judgmental and wrong. Arrogant , haughty ,lacking compassion … Regrettably, E didn’t equate drugs prescribed for his many many physical needs in and of themselves, complicated those conditions.
Women love his souther accent
Love his voice. One of the most coolest and soothing ever. Great for radio. Miss him dearly💕
Watch Bob Joyce pastor....😇
I saw Elvis about 8 weeks prior to this and he never looked or sounded better !! His performance was light years better than his famous Hawaii concert. He laughed and joked more than ever before. He seemed more relaxed and in " the zone " than ever ! Awesome performance !! one I will forever remember until the day I die.
I wish I could have seen Elvis ~ I will love him as long as I live x
Never LOOKED BETTER. What are you using for eyes? Elvis looked His best when he came out of the army in 1960. BECAUSE he was his lightest bodyweight ever 165lbs. And his JAWLINE (the thing that makes or breaks a persons ultimate look. Was crisp and defined. From there it was all downhill.
@@fender1000100 Elvis looked his best between 1967-71 and 1974.
@@mariogmajner6549 aw hell naw, he NEVER looked better than when he got out of the service
@@gregamerson9172 Elvis was better looking in the 70's than the 50' and 60's.
Elvis probably knew his time was near Too much of everything He had it all A king whom got slayed, but yet was loved so dearly by so many
This isn't drug fueled. This was just Elvis being Elvis. He was awesome and there will never be another in this century at least. God bless Elvis Presley!!
@@bs1820 any Elvis fan knows he loves karate and go make jokes. He talks during his shows a lot especially his Vegas ones because he was forced to do those.
@@NotTemptation I know people just try and be smart and say oh you know him personally huh but they only know him from the new movie or something
I love Elvis. But he was high as hell. People denying that he was high were not only enabling it at the time but they were being very unrealistic with the hardships that comes with fame. I know a lot of us don't want to think that Elvis Presley was on drugs but he was it's proven and it should have been a lesson learned that has never been learned for the famous. Ain't nothing wrong with getting high to tell you the truth as long as it doesn't get out of control but it did with him and he didn't necessarily understand the difference between illegal drugs and prescription drugs hence the illegal use of prescription drugs. There was a dumb side to Elvis yet very lovable he was very naive about the world around him and he built a fantasy up and made it come true. That's an American dream. But the underbelly of that is the drugs and excess that comes with it and human beings are not necessarily capable of having that capacity. He was very strung out during this performance unfortunately. What he was saying was not idiotic or what he was trying to say. In the end he would have probably spoke his mind with or without the drugs but being high he just could not articulate. He couldn't let anyone know that something was wrong.
no he was literally fed amphetamines because he passed out before and they forced him to go on stage instead of taking him to the ER😭😭
@@charlesrivers2309 he was high as hell, it was sad, but I still love him. Honestly he read as well as most sober folks would have.
This man helped many people in his life! He was still very humble despite all his wealth and fame. While many people bitched about serving in the military he served saying it was his duty. RIP ELVIS!
The One Thing, That NEVER Failed Elvis was his AMAZING TALENT & A GOD GIVEN VOICE & Beautiful VOICE...Elvis Was Also Filled With,,,,,,,,,,,CHARISMA...U Just HAD 2 See Elvis Perform Live IN Concert..2 Know How SPECTACULAR...Elvis Was & Still IS....
I love how he says he doesn't want to put anybody's job down and the he calls bellboys those "freaks who carry your luggage up to your room."
Not only did Elvis willingly serve his country he also did it when his career was taking off! When you reach this level of success you have a lot of pressure! He was passionate in his performances, a legend, but also a human being!
"I will pull your God damn tongue out, by the roots!" Oh man I love Elvis and his stage presence.
What? Out of his mind drugged?
@@marketingheavydutytowcompa6996 He really did not realize he had a problem because the doctors were giving him the drugs. Legal drugs.
This
I have no problem with what he said and how he said it. it's about time he stood up for him self this is when bill ayers was spreading lies about him
it was a drug fueled rant and not a sane Elvis. Don't try to whitewash it.
@kkh369 it common knowledge he od. wasnt first time...linda thompson saved him 3 or 4 times when she found him. when she finaly got tired an left he was doomed!
he died of constipation..common sign of opiod abuse...
@@guynese977 Plenty of people have chronic constipation due to other health issues. Elvis died from a heart attack due to straining while constipated. After heart attacks our patients are warned about straining to prevent another fatal attack. Too bad Elvis doctor didn't warn him about such issues because we knew this information even back then!
@@bayleemoberly opiods shut down his digestive tract.
Having been a former drug addict and alcoholic myself you can believe this , nobody wakes up in the morning saying I want to become a drug addict or alcoholic
It's a gradual thing
Former addict?? Doubt it. Once an addict always an addict.
@leonardhren9858 true, but an addict can quit doing drugs. I think that's what he meant. Recovering addict, former addict, call it whatever, who cares, as long as the person has stopped actively using.
I think he is just telling the truth. No way is he out of it on drugs. He just wants to get his point across. And being funny with it. Oh that voice when he sings. I just melt 😍 😍.
That was elvis just being elvis. Setting the record straight.
What are you talking about lmao. Setting what record straight? You sound like an idiot.
@@connangus2076 While you sound like a condescending prick.
By lying about his insidious drug addiction. There’s nothing like the outrageous denial of a sycophantic Elvis fanatic.
@@SuperPussyFinger hahah
@@SuperPussyFinger they said he was taking hard drugs like heroin when he didn’t. It paints a much worse picture of him that isn’t true. He only took prescription drugs given to him by medical professionals
This guy gave EVERYTHING for his fans! Literally. So the punks who never knew him have NO RIGHT to criticize him, he is a LEGEND! He was a good man, caught up in prescription drugs, know any other pop rock legends that went that way by any chance??? He was incredible until the drugs took over, and even then he was damn good!
Apparently he was taking pills even back in the 50s but I think it got worse in the late 60s/70s bcuz of his lifestyle and the stress of being Elvis and touring.
He was a racist junkie. Nothing to brag about
The never was and never will be's always bitch the most.
And now people are criticizing his beautiful daughter, god rest her soul, the same way.
❤❤❤
Elvis was an amazingly kind guy. We need another Elvis today!
I just love the realness of him
He's everything good and pure
He was a drug addled rapist and a paedophile. We have different ideas of what is good and pure.
This is awesome!! Elvis is so cool on so many levels,i could listen to this over and over again,just to hear his voice...
Elvis Presley---the greatest American tragedy in American popular music! Those who criticize him have no idea what this man went through. There isn't any real excuse for drug abuse. All I can say is that those of you who bring him down for the pills---you try going through the same kind of life and see how you fare at the end.
exactly
Well said. Elvis death should have been ruled a homicide, and his Memphis Mafia cronies should have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Chief among them, Colonel Parker.
Jamie Strawn STFU and pull your head out of your ass. Elvis was made into a junkie by his doctors and his “friends” who all took pills because they “needed them” and the doctors validated that need by prescribing them. So in his mind he wasn’t a junkie. He was doing everything legally. That’s what happens when you surround yourself with sycophants that tell you everything you want to hear.
Aman!amen!
@Jamie Strawn try being addicted to prescription drugs, it's not fun and you get addicted before you realise it. I can't get through a day without prescription opiates for chronic pain.
simply put the best there is, was, or ever will be. if everybody was like ELVIS the world would be a better place. he was human but now immortal nothing anyone can say or do to tear him down.
He was so worked up and upset but his voice is so calm and smooth.. I DO LOVE YOU.
Love this man!
Always have♥
Elvis was and still is awesome. I'll always be an Elvis fan.
My goodness gracious, every time I hear Mr. Presley sing, an indescribable warmth consumes me which makes me feel so content and grateful that an amazing soul such as Elvis graced us countless people who love him in return for the comforting voice that resonates from him unlike any other voice ever. Thank you, rest in Heavenly peace Mr. Presley, I love what you have given us all.
He was so polite.. apologizing and warning the audience that he was not speaking about them
…and the crowd applauds! I love this!
probably scared lol he was just doing karate shit tellin em all how he was a 38th degree black belt
This is a beautiful piece of history, more than just music, it is a message a moment with his fans. Priceless!
Yes in all fairness it was
Everything that Elvis was on he was prescribed by Doctor's so he didn't think he was doing anything wrong because it was all legal and I truly believe that he thought he could handle things because he studied medicine and always had an updated PDR with him everywhere he went and it doesn't change my love and respect for him because I think that Elvis had true pain. It is heartbreaking that we lost him at only age 42 but he left a legacy larger than life itself. R.i.p. Elvis
It's really crazy how he could be that strung-out on drugs and not even realize it because of legalities and technicalities. I do believe he was totally and completely oblivious to the fact...which is sad. I think they just told the guy here's your "medicine" and when he felt better he just thought it was working. 🤷
def x
He definitely knew he was doing wrong and it wasn't good for him quit spitting your stupid nonsense Elvis fan
I am a huge fan of Elvis and Waylon Jennings as well... Waylon always said that he didn't think he was on drugs because up until the 70s he only took things prescribed by the Dr. all the artists around Nashville were going to..of course he realized he was on drugs when he began using Cocaine..It's sad that so many great artists are remembered by the problems in their lives..Instead of the amazing talents they were and the wonderful music,movies,books and other things they have left behind to be enjoyed and appreciated by true fans for eternity...
I'm almost 53 years old and have been a fan since I was 5. Please stop attempting to push the BS narrative that Elvis didn't think he was doing anything wrong. When you get prescribed something do you go through a month's supply in 10 days and ask the doctor for more? Do you go take 3 or more times the amount that prescribed? The medicine was prescribed but the levels he took was not prescribed. The amounts of drugs and levels found in his system at the time of his death was enough to convince many it was intentional suicide. He wanted to maintain a high at all times. He was a drug addict, plain and simple and he knew it. He told Sonny West, I need them man, I need them.
Not only singing, but also speaking he had a beautiful and soothing voice, even when he was uneasy.❤️love him forever
He's entitled to rant after giving so much for so long. You and I can't possibly imagine what his life was like. I totally understand the drugs to escape being Elvis Presley. Thanks for all Elvis, love you, you will always be the King.
Goodness me….thank you for the opportunity to hear him….and all I can say from that is that yes, he was upset about something that had happened, talked about it (wow), and then went on with being the best. Great vocals right away. No evidence (vocally) of another issue.
elvis is a great person.
he lived his life for good or bad. at end of day .he gave the world more than it gave him.
elvis will live on forever.
Great to here elvis talking about different things love him love that song .sleep tight elvis💕🎵🎶
now matter how strung out he got he never lost his voice,I would have love to have seen him live at any time of his carear.that last song i think he ever done live,unchained melody is breathtaking and brings tears to your eyes
I saw him live twice. He was great.
He wasn’t strung out.
He is not drugged nor ranting
@@givemethetruthagain5701. Thank You! That’s Exactly Right!
@@OakwiseBecoming. That’s Exactly Right! Like he said,. He’s Never been strung out in his Life!
Elvis sempre será a maior indústria cultural de todos os tempos !! Elvis Merece todo o nosso respeito 11 O Brasil ama Elvis !!!
Y Alcalá de Henares. Madrid. España!!!
It’s sounds like someone hurt deeply who has held it in for way too long and needs to let it out. Good people can be pushed to their breaking points as well. Everybody fights their demons the best they can and in the end Elvis needed peace so God called him home. He was blessed with a beautiful heart and great talent, this legacy will live on in the hearts of many generations. He is the GOAT. His worldly sins are between him and God alone.
He conquered everthing he ever attempted amazing drive!
At 5:00 minutes, this is the angriest I've ever heard Elvis. He was a legend even so.
Elvis Presley is one of the greatest ever in American music.

Elvis was and is the Greatest Entertainer of all Time period!! Long live the King!
Nobody has achieved more than Elvis, so he's, really, the greatest ever, in pop culture history.
Yawn
@@CooManTunes he stole music from black people. how is that great.
@@jasiriarendse-hutson7794 crap . You cant steal a culture . Elvis just sang what he listened too growing up
With great talent comes many temptations. Being human means perfection is out of the question.. elvis had a voice 2nd to none.. it was a gift that cost him a short life .. his gift didnt come without a price.. only god can be our judge. All i can say of him is he was took to soon , but to this day still remembered .. his mark on life to this day still walks with the living.. not to many people can have that kind of legacy. RIP elvis ..
I grew up hearing my mom talk about ELVIS Presley. She was a huge fan of his. I was 2 when he died. I listened to his music growing up and watching ELVIS impersonators play him.
This is just Elvis being Elvis! No drugs involved or anything. He loved to joke around and make people laugh. He was hilarious and a great, epic entertainer! God rest his soul.
The man is certainly short of breath...Sober up partner. Well, you should of.
Cmon now. If this is the karate kicking jumpsuit era elvis he is absolutely on something. Ever read his autopsy report? He was on some good s#$@
scoot mcgoot sounds like you are too
I agree
He's hilarious??? Okay...
Greatest man to ever live. Long live the king!
Love an peace for beautiful Elvis sweet dreams gorgeous forever in are hearts never to be forgotten 👑👑👑💙💙
He sounds completely lucid to me, he was basically venting. Someone ought to put your life under a spotlight moment by moment and let's see how you fair. Jealousy is ugly, don't go there. He was human yet a better person than many who have the cheek to criticize him.
Exactly Right!
Go through the GRIND he did and NEVER will you comprehend what he went through to ENTERTAIN you.
Elvis was and is the best Entertainer of the whole wide world. We lost the best Singer and the most generous people, as there will never be him again. Thank you oh God for Elvis A. Presley.
Someone should have helped him on that stage. That makes me sad. We ALL have issues & bad days. I can't even imagine the strains that were on him. Someone should have helped him Damned it!!! We ALL need a helping hand . All of us!
Everyone wanted to help him but they didn’t know how and also NO ONE could tell Elvis what to do!!! Anyone who told him what to do would get a firm shouting at by Elvis himself
I listen to this sometimes just because I love listening to Elvis standing up for himself and him getting angry. I love it. This isn’t a drug fuel rant. He talked to the audience like an old friend. He couldn’t trust much people. He was right here standing in his truth. And I do believe him. He was so honest but a gentleman. Love him.
EXACTLY! People can not knock him for his prescription drug use because it was all prescribed to him! He honestly in his mind he believed wholeheartedly that it was nothing wrong with it! Honestly Elvis was a little naive in certain situations he trusted doctors to see his welfare thru....
It literally is a drug fueled rant. 😭😭 he was literally fed drugs by Dr. Nick after passing out on the way to a show
Is there a particularly good biography or Elvis book out there that is unbiased and factual?
Love him❤
@@synchronicity1470 Look up Destined to Die Young! That’s pretty close,.
The most exploited entertainer ever...
Indeed, and Michael Jackson.
"I'll rip your tongue out by the roots!!!" applause and cheering. EP: "Thank you very much." That was funny as "s".
RIP Elvis Presley!! Wherever you may be!! May God bless and be with you always!!🏛🏗🏘🏙🏡⛪🏢🏤🏣🏠🏚🏕🗻🏜🏝⛱🏞🏔🌋🗺🌍🌎🌏🌐
For me this is just Elvis being genuine human ❤️❤️❤️ He was human after all and humans do have emotions. And his were evidently hurt and I can't imagine the pressure of the fame so this gorgeous man just was speaking his mind and letting the people know him Elvis the man. And he is just himslef. Love Elvis ❤️
Elvis had a Dr. In every state he resided in during tours! One in his home state Memphis, Las Vegas, as well as California! Prescription narcotics werent hard to come by for Elvis!
His worst is still better than anyone today.
Damn right about that.
I disagree
@@currymuncher0941 So do I.
How is this bad? Love this man’s talking voice. He was DNA cool 😎
@@donnaking7439 Maybe it's like a "you had to be there" kinda thing with this guy cause most people who think he's great grew up with him on the radio and TV, while other people who saw all this after the fact don't see what the big deal was. Personally i have no clue why he was popular cause he comes across like a poor Vegas act. The Beatles are different, you didn't have to grow up with them, their talent comes through to each generation but this guy...not so much.
Elvis is speaking his mind to his fans who he adored but you automatically assume it's drug fuelled. 🤦♀️ the goat 🐐 🙌
May God bless this good-looking man and greatest musIcian and singer of the all-time!! One of the best musicians, singers and actors, of the 20th century!!🎼🎵🎶♩📯🎙🔔🎤🕭🎧🎷🎸🎹🎺🎻📻📣📢🔈🕨🔉🕩🔊🕪
Pretty articulate for doped up.
And the evidence for him being “doped up” is...?
Elvis always talked about the man vs. the image, and its very interesting to hear how he felt about a story that was at least based in truth, but was damaging to his image although he was really damaging himself. He will always be my favorite and hearing this doesn't negatively change how I feel and actually makes me care even more about him!
Wow! Just listening to him sing this
tells me he would always be a great singer!!!
On top of that, he is so handsome 😍 💕
I can't imagine all of the stress he is under because of people that just outright say lies about him 😕 🤔
They say im lazy and always strung out too. Thank you very much . xxxx❤xxxx

Shall you get the oppurtunity please check out Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Donnie Hathaway , Bobby Womack , Freddie Mercury, Darryl Hall , Bobby Caldwell ,Prince and Michael Jackson.
Not really, he was quite goofy.
+James Antonio, correct me if I'm wrong, but did you say that Elvis was goofy? If you don't like Elvis, you're either a Stone Cold Idiot or you're just a jealous punk M F
Steve Hamilton Go to hell! Never listen to a Elvis song never will, that shit is goofball shit. He was a stone JUNKY
As big an Elvis fan as anyone, I think the man has a legitimate gripe against the press and tabloids , but also....... I think he's enjoying a buzz. It is what it is. Long live the King.
awwww Elvis will always be the king for me.i love his music and always will
I wish i had experienced living that time but i grew up with this music and loving it
If I was in the audience I would be enjoying this. You feel like you’re in convo with him, like seeing him as a person vs an entertainer.
