So, take these all with a grain of salt. It’s for YOU to interpret it as you see it. I do hope though you enjoy them.
You are so right , Elvis had so many problems he needed help in every aspect of his life. I truly believe the only person he would have listen to was his mother .
If I could add one thing back in to else’s life, it will be his mom never died. He may have got intertwine with Parker still, but he wouldn’t of got Priscilla and he probably would’ve had more internal strength to stand up for himself in the 60s when he needed it.
Something to put Elvis's crazy vocal range into perspective: That high note Elvis hits is a semitone higher than the high note Pavarotti hits at the end of Nessun Dorma.
Nice!
Yes, he looked bad but not because of the weight. But because you could tell he wasn't well! His voice was a little weak when he talked but was still great when he sang ! That he was able to perform at all was a miracle! He isDEAD! CAN'T WE QUIT NOW?!
@@donnaqueen8766I made no comment on his appearance so...?
@@mrsongman no you never . But it was in reaction. I'm just tired of it all. Your comment was nice! I meant nothing bad towards you!!
@@donnaqueen8766 ah okay haha. I was confused. No worries.
Elvis Presley work so hard that why we lost him so young Elvis Presley is a legend He never be forgotten 💙🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
'WALK A MILE IN HIS SHOES ' COULD YOU HANDLE THE PRESSURES HE HAD TO COPE WITH?
Elvis had alot of issues but i agree with your comment 100%.❤️🇦🇺
I am not at all a blind defender as noted in previous comments. I don’t think his voice was more than okay. His show in Pittsburgh on New Year’s’76/77 was incredible.
That is for sure
Elvis, who had to perform repetitively and rigorously, began having health problems in 1971. Despite the betrayal of those around him, Elvis had no choice but to endure in silence and continue performing. A cheating Priscilla, a manager addicted to gambling, and even friends. These are vampires who stick straws into Elvis and suck his blood. Elvis survived only by taking medication prescribed by a quack, and eventually passed away without receiving proper treatment. It wasn't a genetic problem. The cause of his death was people using him to make money.😭
Do you really believe that?
I don’t think his friends were that bad to him, but I believe all the rest. And yes, at that point money was the driving force because of his crappy manager, and not managing his money well throughout his life.
@@ElvisistheMan_ Absolutely agree
Just saying…. Look how thin he was in 1971,70,69and even some of 68!!! Was still in great shape after picking up a few pounds in 73 for ALOHA!!! He looked fabulous slim, skinny
or like 73 with just a little meat on him. Not even chubby!! But hey why didn’t anyone say to him in 70 and 71 “ HEY E ,,, you are a little to thin there my boy” !! And even though he looked gorgeous he was a little to thin.
He swelled from
all his illnesses and drugs and people just want to remember a FAT ELVIS!!! Disgusting !!!
I’m a huge fan…. That last year of him at looking at what the critic’s call”FAT” was a mixture of things.
Bloating from heart problems… and probably liver that alone makes you swell. The meds they give you for those
Illnesses make you swell
As well!!! I wish people would realize
what he was going thru to keep his fans happy and the gambling manager and all his people paid all the while with the worse contracts in history on the biggest star in history!!!! Also that book of betrayal!!! HURT!!
He shouldn’t have been performing at all that last year (part of 76 and 77!!! He needed medical help and other help. The manager needed to be fired a long , long , long time ago. He would of had a normal schedule and time to get better ❤️🩹 .
@@sheilapickral1840 I agree with you 100%. Billy Smith said he begged Elvis to take off a year and get healthy. Billy told him to explain it to the people around him, that if they cared about him they would understand and if they didn’t understand, they didn’t care about him in the first place. Elvis said couldn’t, too many people depended on him for a living. This is so sad.
Glad someone besides me ever noticed his weight loss in 76. Pics of him in Hawaii in 76 he is fairly slim. A bit weak looking but slim. Interesting how this happened
Fair enough. I just don't want to believe it. Its soo hard to accept it was just drugs that killed him soo early in life. Maybe so. He did OD Twice right? 73 & 75? You know though he worked non stop to make payroll and upkeep of Graceland, etc. It all just upsets me because he was so great. He really was. 😢😢
Yeah he actually OD’d twice in 73 alone!
Well OMG THATS THE YEAR OF ALOHA HAWAII?? He performed to the max!!! To add to that he looked absolutely stunning !!!! More handsome to me than many of his younger
years. Sure couldn’t tell he had overdosed twice that year!!! He looked and performed magnificently ❣️❣️❣️
I never once even listening to this video, thought of Elvis as disappointing. Not Once , not Ever! He was a flawed human being just like all of us.
We as onlookers have no idea at all what this man felt and like to be him. He paid the price but left so much of him behind too. At the end of the day he did what he did and alot have done far worse and achieved a great deal less.
He is the man, that’s for sure.
It is hard as fans to hear the down sides to Elvis as you have pointed out on your latest videos but sometimes the truth hurts.@@ElvisistheMan_
@NancyJSimpson I do not think genuine Elvis fans want to rewrite history with blinders on. They/We are well aware of his humanity, and many would agree to the points you state. However, we just don't see the point in emphasizing it over and over.
I feel the time has come to celebrate him and his vast and precious legacy, and there is a lot to do for Elvis channels 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶😊.
Again, this does not mean we are in denial.
Also, please, as an Elvis fan, be very careful these days talking about him and young girls! There is enough ugly talk about this, and no proof. (Except you think Priscilla's emphasizing how old she was when they met is proof for you. I don't think so?) It's only pouring oil into the fire.
Do you want that?
So people just keep sticking the knife in! I know he was human and had issues but he still is and always will be the greatest! He is gone so why not celebrate the goodness and talent of this man and let the rest go! All his women left him for the same reason including Priscilla and Linda! They both did what they had to do to survive even though they both loved him
Just let him be. We all still and always will love him❤❤
Why does it bother you talking about him honestly?
Your absolutely right! It probably would have been shocking to see Elvis's dramatic change in appearance in a couple years time! Nowadays we would see videos of every concert daily! But I can imagine being shocked by his lack of even moving around on stage much! But I'm glad we had him for as long as we did!🙏
ELVIS has always been and still is "a cash cow" for all those who gravitate from far or near around him! Make money by yourself and for yourself, and let this Genius, this Prodigy, sleep in peace; Bring his work to new generations, and boycott the biopic of P Beaulieu where in this film ELVIS is mocked and caricatured! TCB/
60’s the best! What a voice!
It wasnt his best performance and if Elvis was asked what he thought he would agree and be disappointed. He never wanted to let his fans down. ❤️🇦🇺
I agree that Elvis's voice was at its best in the 60s. His voice was like liquid gold then. In the 70s, his voice, whist still strong initially, gradually becomes weaker, thinner and more quavery. I've even noticed it in the Aloha special, that his voice just doesn't sound as strong and full as it once did. I think part of that was due to his health issues and part of it was also due to simply over using it with all the concerts and touring that he did, especially in the dry Vegas climate, which would not have been good for his voice (I'm a speech therapist so I work with voice disorders and damage).
This is one of the most profound videos on UA-cam concerning Elvis. So many of those who love Elvis rewrite history. They literally live in a delusional land where Elvis is blameless and sinless. If anyone speaks anything negative about Elvis they will be called an Elvis hater, disrespectful of Elvis, or an outright liar.
One can love Elvis and simultaneously understand that he was flawed. This does not ruin his legacy it simply humanizes him and lets history know he faced tremendous challenges. He faced temptations that few humans will ever know.
He could get unlimited narcotics and other drugs. He had thousands of women throwing themselves at him and wanting just one night with him. He was a human and he gave into drugs and became an addict. He gave into temptation and became a womanizer often with young girls. He had round-the-clock cooks and he ate foods that were not healthy.
I will tell you why he died. His Memphis Mafia had moved on. They had families of their own and many now lived in California. He could not trust Joe Esposito who was a mole for the Colonel. Elvis realized the Colonel was financially raping him. Red and Sonny West and Dave Hebler had been fired and their tell-all book "Elvis What Happened" was about to be published. This was a deep and terrifying humiliation for Elvis.
Priscilla publically humiliated him by having an affair with Mike Stone. And, then she took Lisa Maria from Elvis to live in California.
Ginger was just not that into him like the other women. His body was giving out on him with bloating, stomach, and eye pain. He was addicted and needed more and more drugs to function. Some of his concerts were a total humiliation with him forgetting words, and having to read songs from a piece of paper.
The world was passing him by. He was turning into a caricature of himself. Fat and forty the headline read. He was a black velvet photo with eyes that light up. He had bills piling up and a staff that relied on him for their livelihood.
Elvis wore out. The drugs that were found in his body would have killed a horse. His body was bloated and toxic from his enlarged colon. His heart was weak and a perfect storm occurred and Elvis just gave out and gave up the ghost.
To speak the truth in no way takes away from the magic, the charisma, the generosity the talent, and the beauty of the greatest entertainer that ever lived.
Thank you for your comments. You look at elvis in a very logical way! A lot of fans prefer not to look at him as he really was! TCB
Very well said thank you 😊
Great comment I'm a long time Elvis fan btw.
despite his shortcomings, I truly felt sorry for him. maybe the Carnival metaphor of the dancing chicken is supposed to parallel Elvis (he danced with strings attached that was not noticed, the chicken was dead).
@NancyJSimpson totally agree. Well said, my thoughts exactly
ELVIS WAS ALWAYS THE BEST 👑🎸🎙🎤🪕🎻🎹🪇🎶🎵🎼🥁
Dave, I and many others on this site appreciate your honesty. And i also have a similar take on Elvis' triumphs and tragedies.
I almost think Elvis was too well raised. He wanted to please everybody and would do anything to do so. I still don't understand with all the health (severely constipated and all the other things they claim) issues how he performed at all. I sadly agree that at times you could tell he was drugged up. But I will always love him and his singing no matter what because I don't think he felt he had a choice if he was going to make everybody happy. Heartbreaking.
Nobody can be at the top days after day,even the greatest artists
He did drink warm water according to Charlie hodge. It helped loosen his vocal chords
Of course Elvis no longer had his health at the end of his life and his addiction to drugs and despite his worst vocal performances, no one comes close to him vocally. his voice is a gift from God.
I agreed about the first cousin thing. My grandparents on my mom 's side were first cousins. They had 5 kids.
As a huge fan of Elvis, i know he was not perfect. The drugs affected him and I feel those around him totally ignored it because they did not want to hurt him or make him mad at them. I think he felt he did no wrong in the drugs because they were prescriptions. Having a doctor who gave into him was not a good thing.
At that point, his voice was not at the best. It is a hard one to listen to. No matter what, I still love him and his music.
His voice never failed him
@kenwhite5416 I agreed on his voice. During this concert, though, it was not his best.
They didn't ignore it ,they all tried ,he would get mad ,he was in denial he was addicted to large quanties of leethal drugs ,most drug addicts are in denial !!!!
I feel like his long intros were because he wasn’t up to performing so that covered some time for him. He definitely had some disappointing shows but he also gave us amazing performances and movies. This definitely was not his best performance. He will always be a culture icon. I don’t always agree with your opinions David but I appreciate all the hard work and the chance to see and hear stuff we may not otherwise get to see/hear. Your coverage is all encompassing. Thank you. RIP Elvis
Thank you!
And yeah I think he was just buying time, catching a breather…
I think yes he was taking longer breaks in between . David your channel is one of the very top ones I listen to and have many !!!
I love and appreciate your hard work and research. You really please us ELVIS FANS And I appreciate all you. Do. However on this one I disagree a bit. I believe that the Colonel’s ridiculous schedule he set up for ELVIS ALONG WITH ALL THE YES PEOPLE IS WHAT MADE HIS DRUG USE GET TO WHETE IT GOT. Also from what I understand he did have inherited physical illness’s that were serious. To think how hard he worked on stage doing a performance some people would have a heart attack off just doing 1 of his shows. The voice got to a lower range . . But most of the time was still the most beautiful voice ever.
The hard work he put in all nighter rehearsals!!!
He was being smothered and hurt by people he once loved . He was not allowed to do what he wanted to do.!!! We all know why!! I guess my point is that YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST IN THIS BUSINESS…so why all the talk about the drug use. We all know it.
But as ELVIS said and sang … don’t judge another man if you haven’t walked in his shoes. I saw him twice when I was only 10 and12 and he usually did 2 shows !!!! I feel the schedule of VEGAS AND HIS TOURING WAS A DEFINITE KILLER…. without drugs I feel
It would be. Not many entertainers had a schedule like his. He was sick emotionally from what we’ve been told and physically and add all that up … well just saying … he had a lot on his plate. Thank you for all you do with all my heart ❣️❤️❤️❤️. Thank you for ELVIS AND FOR ELVIS’s FANS AND FUTURE FANS❣️
@@sheilapickral1840 I totally agree with you. There is one thing that I wonder, and that is if Elvis had given less gifts/money away would he have been able to take a break and get himself healthy or did he just get so burned from supposed friends who were only there for money. It’s easy to be lonely around tons of people if not even one cared about him.
@@ElvisistheMan_ thank you,that’s what I was trying to say☺️. I have to say though I really love the deeper timbre of his voice of his later years, especially the 77 CBS show.
The “Vegas” School Days performance where he hits that amazing note is actually from the Birmingham Show in December 1976! My personal favourite show he ever did.
My dad went to Elvis’ show at the Civic Center in Baltimore on May 29 1977. Elvis was not well and walked off the stage after about 30 minutes, and didn’t come back until about 30 minutes later. My dad (somehow) talked his way backstage and met Elvis, his lifelong hero, telling how much he loved his music and had looked up to him, like an older brother. Elvis was almost incoherent, and seemed unaware of what my dad was trying to tell him. It broke my dad’s heart, but he never stopped loving Elvis. After Elvis died, my dad began doing his Tribute to Elvis.
Elvis Presley in his later years was tired and sick and exhausted no matter what his health issues his manager demanded he still perform never how sick he was so sad too me.
❤ I love him . Yes u r right .the other day I was taking my daughter 4 lunch . Her nurse wanted 2 meet me . We met, we started talking about ELVIS . She said she saw him on the last tour he was on . I was like man u was so lucky, her reply . He was fat and sweaty. Yes I no all about that. Just have some respect 🙏.
My favorite version of Hurt is the one used in the TV Special. It's one of his best vocal performances of his later life.
His voice is incredible THROUGHOUT the Special...'77 Special, kicking off with a high-octane, super energetic See See Rider and the song that started it all, That's Alright, oh, MAMA, man, OH, MAN, Elvis rises to the occasion, ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!
My gosh, all those shrieks and squeals! 😄 Even the greatest among us still have 'off' days, he was human after all. Problems were certainly there, but overall he is the GOAT.
He should have retired fulltime after the Aloha concert and been done. Many who are smart retire when they are on the top but, those who could or did not do it ok, history have shown then for how it got to be. Elvis, was one of them. To bad and sad that he was not a smart man. Gosh, he was taking care of everybody else around him but being smart, to take care of himself so ok, there it is then.
He said 6 months ago at the MSG press conference that he didn’t feel it was time to slow down. But, since Parker didn’t have anything planned for a Elvis after this, other than same old Vegas, it would’ve been a good time - if he had the money…
There were so many songs he could have brought in. Kentucky rain, I've got a feeling, ghetto, words....
Yeah, instead of Olivia Newton-John songs or other covers. He had a lot of great songs of his own catalog.
@toastertwo1602 I know!
People don't like to admit it, but Elvis was kind of an expert on what all these pills could do for him. He carried some damn book all the time about all these barbiturates and amphetamines and crap he was taking. The man was a great artist when at his best and probably a pretty decent human being under the circumstances who certainly had moments of incredibly poor judgement and some anger issues at times. It's ok to add admit and deal with this and still be a devoted fan. Some people think they have to almost deify him and deny the bad stuff. Unnecessary.
Preach
I love the songs elvis songs but I think BLUE CHRISTMAS is my favorite. Elvis was & always will be the best entertainer there ever was
New subscriber here. Trying to catch up with all your videos. I agree Elvis was addicted to prescriptions drugs for many reasons. He was in pain for a very long time both physically and mentally. However, he did, in fact, have more physical ailments than the public is aware of and that will be exposed in 2027, exactly 50 years after his death, per Vernon's wishes. Until then, the world can truly only speculate.
Crash Diets & Heart HealthBeing severely malnourished - a possible consequence from of crash dieting - can lead to cardiomyopathy, an abnormal heart condition that can result in heart failure.
I agree with everything you say, and I’ve loved Elvis since I was 9 (I’m 46 now). I’ve literally made the comment before that he sounded like an old man. I feel for him, and I’m always going to love him despite the lows! ❤
Yeah his voice was thin
That song at the beginning was in Birmingham, December 29th 1976.
Hi I know you love elvis. Thank you for all of your time and effort to keep him as brilliant as he was
He was sick of doing this. He was sick, depressed and prob had money issues besides the colonel issues. I saw him when I was 5 1956. Lived him ever since. Don’t be disappointed in him cause I love him for loving us his fans. There were no Betty Ford clinics for this type of addiction and remember his mother could have been alcoholic . I’ll never stop loving him. He loved us till the end. His people did not help him. Most used him. It made me sad to hear you but I know he was addicted but he was in big denial I don’t believe priscilla tried to help me either. I just don’t . I saw him 8 times in 70s. Fabulous I’m a psychologist now and know a lot about addiction. He was tired and health was bad. His cook said he was going to fire all of them. Please don’t call him fat. He had weight problems even during movie years. He did drugs. They all did drugs all the mafia. I don’t think he would have died if he toured Europe. He needed a challenge. COL WAS A PROBLEM. DRUGS WERE A PROBLEM. Look at all artists many died from drugs Stevie ray vaughn all in the 60s. Artists have drug problems 11:56
Read Destined to Die Young . This was researched with family history and facts, and even the autopsy tells it all in the book. The autopsy should be released .
Elvis always needed a challenge!!!!!
He did! We all do
He wasn’t at his best for sure but he sounded like he was really tired and needed a good rest. I feel Elvis was better at hi last concert than this one. He started out slow and mumble his words in 77 but he got better as the concert went on he really showed he gave it his all. I honestly think he knew he was at the end of his life, he had been hurt by so many people I just believe he was ready to go. Elvis never really knew how much he was loved by his true loyal fans he thought no one would remember him, look at him now more popular now than ever. I seen an interview with Anita Woods daughter today on UA-cam it was really good, her daughter favors her a lot her name is Jonnita Barrett named after her father John and mom Anita. Well she has written a book about her mom and Elvis. I believe it’s called Once apon a time Elvis and Anita Wood. The show is Those Elvis Girls give it a listen. Sorry for rambling I do that. God bless, Connie TCB⚡️
It’s hard to say whether Elvis thought she was gonna die or not. You can make a case either way.
10:10 Spot on David, genetics loads the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger. The author of this book has tapped into an audience that gives the overly emotive types an opportunity to blame something else other than Elvis for his demise. In saying that, loved your Part 1 & Part 2 of your videos here.
I agree and glad u liked thrm both man!
As a singer, I can honestly say, the voice and vocal range do change as you age.
He probably did ask for warm water, cold water can freeze up your vocals cords.
'Hurt" sounded like it started 1/2 note high. He may have done that to give the live performance a little more life. As performers speed songs up when doing them live. Agreed, like other versions better.
Let ELVIS REST IN PEACE, you're always negative !
Yep…
Just realistic is a better word! And I'm a huge Elvis fan, but I'm not blind! I'll always love Elvis!
Realistic 💯
@@ElvisistheMan_ Not negative at all. Thank you for your time and dedication to Elvis information. You are very good at providing lots of things I never knew.
Good & thanks
Elvis had the resources to try and get help.
Of course it wasn’t easy, and he walked a lonely road, but he could have taken time and gotten help.
He also is responsible for not firing Parker, he should have and he might have lived longer
Its obvious Elvis was in denial about his physical condition at this point just as he was in denial about the extent of his drug addiction, , The concert wasn't great he sounded tired and possibly a little bored and thats understandable because of the amount of tour's he was doing, Singing the same songs over and over and the lack of new challenges and opportunities in his career,
Lamar Fike said in his book that he thought Elvis died of terminal apathy.
@@carolynstuart5901 Elvis's career needed a complete refresh starting with the firing of Tom Parker and some of the so called friends,
No one loves Elvis more than me , but I have to agree with everything you said in this video! Just thankful we have these memories of Elvis good or bad.Thanks.
I have to disagree with you. You said he got addicted because he just liked to get high.
I dont think he was affected much about his gramdparents being cousins but what i think affected him is that his twin brother died at birth. There is a lot of research about what problems it causes when your twin dies and it applies to Elvis’s problems well.
Other thing, he was very poor as a child and his father was on a jail. I think those affect kid a lot considering how his life changed from poor to super rich. Also his mom was the most important people to him and he lost her too early. There was noneone who understood Elvis as well as his mom and his mom was really the one who taked care of him. Its not secret he was depressed his whole life after that death. He also started using drugs only after his mom died.
Not to mention he was the first to ever become global superstar. There were no blueprint how to live that life and how to deal with it. He had a ton of pressure on him and it only got worse when he started to get old as people were laughing about him becoming ”fat and forthy”. Most of the people start to gain weight and look older at that age.
And then all his other problems like failed marriage, he was also very sad about the fact he could never know if someone liked him as a person not just because he was Elvis. Thats tough when you cant trust anyone.
All the overworking. Like his memphis mafia told, he used medication to get sleep after shows and then medication to woke up and get in to the mood. He needed those to get thru his very very busy lifestyle. Parker and his doctor and everyone wanted him to keep touring and making money so ofcourse they gave him drugs snd wanted him to do it. They wouldnt let him rest.
Aaaand there was also the fact he was Elvis so he couldnt do any normal people stuff. He also had already done everything in life so he was very bored in life.
Not to mention they didnt let him do tours in other countries and that was very depressing to him. Also Parker was to creedy so he didnt get all good songs he could have done or movies like the star is born. Failed movie career was very tough for him.
So i wouldnt say he just wanted to get high thats all and was a ”junkie”…. He had very hard life and problems and there were wrong people around him. They took opportunities from him, didnt help him because they wanted the money, and overall he was prisoner of his own fame. Yes it was also his own fault, but there is reasons why he got addicted and needed help.
A. Autópsia de Elvis revelou problemas cardíacos e não overdose de medicamentos! Coração dilatado ( 500gr) fígado aumentado, colesterol elevadíssimo! Em resumo sedentarismo ao extremo, estresse e infelizmente excesso de comida gordurosa!☝️🙄😎
Люди дорогие! Прошу вас писать о матери Элвиса и об отце с уважением. Не надо передовать на всеобщее обозрение то, что "одна бабка сказала" У Элвиса была бедная, но хорошая семья. Элвис всегда с любовью и нежностью вспоминал свое детство. Если бы в семье были непорядки, пьянки и драки, это бы отразилось на характере Элвиса. А он вырос в любви и заботе о нем. Он даже выкупил дом, построенный его отцом. И, в последствии, после смерти матери, отец был всегда рядом с сыном. С уважением ко всем вам.
For the life of me I can't figure out why he kept playing the same songs at every concert with maybe one or two new ones thrown in here and there
Elvis was a MAN not a robot he had his biggest problems off stage the stage was his living room it was unreal he could walk out on stage like it was nothing you listen to Mick Jagger any lead singer they have to get pumped up to go on Elvis really didnt the FANS ONLY SAW THE IMAGE NEVER EVER SAW THE HUMAN BEING IN THE END THE ONLY THING THAT COULD HAVE SAVED Elvis was Elvis Off stage alone thinking thinking thinking can fuck you up big time his world is sometuing we can NEVER UNDERSTAND HE DID THE BEST HE COULD WITH WHAT HE HAD AND THAT WAS VERY VERY GOOD HE SAID ONLY ONCE TO Priscilla he was self destructive one of his big faults THAT SAYS IT ALL
He just took one too many that night Aug 15 77. Random. He was ok, massive psychological pain.
I agree this was not a strong vocal performance.
However, he did have some good performances in 76.
So for those commenters saying his voice just wasn’t strong at this point, that’s not true.
His voice was still strong at times in 76. I have heard concerts in 73 and even 71 where his voice didn’t sound particularly strong.
It’s not unusual for the human voice to just be weaker on some days. Great singers learn to work around those days and manage it.
You said something earlier that keeps coming back, we are comparing Elvis to Elvis. It isn't hard to forget that. If it were Elvis compared to "Somebody" I think we all know...
What was the barking about ??🤔😂
That was Charlie’s ghost
Love ❤️ him , every thing was getting 2 him !!!
Je suis absolument ok avec vous parce que ont entend quand Elvis n est pas en voi quand il est essoufflé quand il chante quand il parle de chose et d autres et soyont objectifs Elvis a fait des concerts ratés. Je l admire le respecte moi j'ai eu la chance de le voir en concert 3 fois . Mais était parfoi dans un état d épuisement absolut et ces la qu' il aurait dû prendre du temps et ce soigné. je suis de votre avi car la répétitive des concerts la usé il avait plus l envie mais il avait le public alors il a continué mais parce qu' il ne pouvait faire autrement.
His manger was said when Elvis Presley collapsed before going on he said i dont care as long that man his on stage tonight get him ready too perform now his manger really didnt care about how elvis was sick and exhasted he never was concerned about Elvis health issues he never didnt care either.
Jell-O and Iced Water.

What type of genetic disorder is webbed toes?
Syndactyly (Greek Syn=together; Dactylos=digit) is a digital malformation in which adjacent fingers and/or toes are webbed because they fail to separate during limb development
Webbed toes are birth defects.
What are these FTDs????
Notice how he didn't start "Can't Help" on point, and the band stayed in the opening key.
Yeah I noticed that too. Interesting
also his mother was known to be a drinker... whereas she had liver of cirrhosis's is how she died!! people have warned her to slow down in her drinking but she didnt care at that point. i heard elvis dad used to beat his mom and that's why elvis would always call from the Army to make sure his mother was ok... early in her childhood gladys witness one of her sisters burn to death and i think thats why she got traumatized over it and started to drink.
What do you mean by FTDs? Not all of us know what you're talking about.
could you post a link to that shop elvis thing you put on the screen im typing it in and its not pulling up
www.shopelvis.com/dept/media
Worst "Cant help falling in love" I've ever heard him sing.
Sad just sad
Yeah not that good
David very sad but very true
yeah l agree Elvis seemed a bit flat and out of breath, Elvis made no attempt to hit the high notes at the end of most of his songs instead leaving it to the band to finish it, maybe he knew he was having a bad day and picked a few safe songs like "Love me tender" and "blue Christmas" and "funny how time slips away" l think life was taking its toll and with his Drug problem and Health issues and knowing this book was coming out would of taken the wind out of Elvis sails for sure, This should of been the time for Elvis to take along break get himself some help to get clean check into a health farm and fire tom parker, he had already started to clear out his closet getting ride of some hangers on,
Elvis needed to make these decisions himself and stick by them he needed protecting from himself
I totally agree what you said about the fans. I knew Charlie hodge. And I knew his cousin Patsy. Elvis fans and I'm one of them are ridiculously blind. They play d a part in killing him by being so blind in their devotion. Elvis wld have at least tried harder if the fans bulked at his weight gain.
No but look at his mother and how she died look at her dependence on barbiturates and alcohol. I would say drug/ alcoholism dependence could run in a family. So that might have played a role in his drug abuse. The doctor he had didn't help. However I am not believer that the drugs choose you everyone has to decide to start doing drugs on their own unless someone's holding a gun to your head. Which in Elvis's case was definitely not happening. 😢
Funny how time...allowed him to sing it so often
I think you might be misguided.. As a retired% teacher of biology and human anatomy and physiology, the genetic percentage according to Punnett square, is 25%. And if the mother is a carrier and manifest the disorder, the percentage for a son to inherit goes up to 50% because both her X chromosomes have the genetic defect and sons only get their one X chromosome from their mother because of course the father contributes the y chromosome, which in this case does not carry the genetic defect. Just my two cents worth. (Judy C.)
15:26 Hey ELVIS THE MAN, I got a copyright strike on my channel from peter schmidt for showing that on UA-cam, you might wanna be careful maybe take this video down, just an FYI
I think you commented that to me a while ago actually lol. Thanks
'Funny how time..." Okay, just a thought as to "why"? This was 76. At that time, Willie and Waylon were super BIG. Their Outlaws album had just become the first ..?.. country album ever. The song was written & recorded by Willie.
A possible explanation.
He was very tired n his voice was beginning to show it … while he sings he was skipping some words n didn’t knw that he was not singing it rt
Thk u David …. the meds he was takg ruined his beautiful voice n he was tryg way to hard to sing n the stretching of his vocals was not helping hm
Elvis was the biggest star and lets be honest here some of the songs pitched to him in the mid 70s ...were not up to scratch .....after Elvis in memphis in 69 he must HAVE been chomping at the bit ....concert wise AFTER m.s.g 72 and Aloha ...THERE would be nights wen he was on fire ....richmond 74 ...uniondale 75 ...dallas and Pittsburgh 76 ...but lets be realistic here ...he could perform his show in his sleep ...many time he did ....
He was bored to death ...
.no challenge ...the same towns and cities ....wen challenged how gud was he .....! Its not hard to see why Elvis went the way he did ....the one nighters were turning out like his latter movies ...
And yes too many vegas shows ....and why im sorry did these band intros drag on and on ...
Ive paid to see Elvis sing ...
Do i really need a solo out of every band member ..
Sorry if that sounds harsh ..
Finally ftd or not do we need sub standard shows ..would we really miss them ...??? I think not ...
Long live the king ..
..🎤💿🎼✨👑👑👑
I generally don't listen to or consider criticisms of Elvis (who is in many ways simply beyond reproach), but if they come from someone who has proven to be as solid a fan and researcher and 'purveyor' of Elvis, like EITM....I (will) listen and consider.
Thank u sir. Just to conclusions I come to.. I think it’s pretty straightforward no sugarcoating, but also caring about him as a person at the same time. And also realizing he was not a god.
@@ElvisistheMan_ He may not be a God, but he has reached/earned 'Sainthood' in my book. Thank you for your vids.
You are so right about some of his song selection. I would've been so hyped to see Elvis live, but disappointed at the same time that he selected some cover songs that are mediocre. You also need to understand the perspective of someone in the 70's. They grew up on the 50's and early 60;s hits. That was Elvis to them. That's what made them fall in love with Elvis. I'm sure many people were disappointed.
How come you never done anything on Bob Joyce ??
Why waste my time?
I didn’t mean Stevie Vaughn died of drugs just had to go to rehab to save his life. Janis Joplin Jimi Hendrix drummer to Rolling Stones doors on and on. They are artists and are drawn to drugs for some reason. Elvis never drank but prob might have been better for him. His mothers eyes were so dark around them from liver failure. Alcohol? Also read Vernon abusive to Gladys just some info 15:26 15:26
Actually a si.ple but nice blue Christmas. Made up for the studio versio ...that was painful... Concert is a C-
Well, almost 1100 shows in eight years before your time and you sit there and pick on him. Get a jog kid.
I'm not sure, but you seem to be digressing in your contextual and comprehensive knowledge where Elvis Presley is concerned.
Hey, I get it....being consistent and steadfast in one's convictions is not always easy when one can be easily swayed here or there by differing and controversial points of view and personal conundrums.
Let me emphasize that most fans do not "blindly" follow Elvis Presley and ignore that he was human like everyone else. The difference is, he was on a different level to most and the same would apply today. It's hard to understand how someone goes about their lives unless we have actually walked a mile or three in their shoes. It's easier to look from a distance, via books and interviews, or supposed interactions and guesstimate and assume he must've done this or that, surely. Just because that's what some of you would have, doesn't mean EP did. It's not rocket science, folks, it's human nature - YOURS that needs questioning. Not his.
Where the Memphis Mafia is concerned, we can safely exclude Billy Smith, possibly Marty Lacker, from the category of "users and betrayers". Same with Charlie Hodge and Larry Geller as they were part of EP's possé, but not necessarily the MM.
Genetic health issues were real for EP, there's no direct evidence that his grandparents being first cousins had anything to do with it (compare that to many English and other European cultures who were marrying their own brothers and sisters). He had myriad health issues, simple as that. No need to look for something that's not there, eh.
As for "drugs", I'm presuming you're referring to illicit substances? That it was not impossible for someone who only had to snap his fingers and get anything he wanted? Nothing is impossible but that's neither here nor there either - no direct evidence of it. By now everyone should be a bit more educated on most aspects of the life of one of the most photographed, written about, and scrutinised entertainers on Earth. Rather than flowing and ebbing depending on who's wave one decides to jump on, best to ask oneself why that is. You either understand or you don't, regardless. Simples.
Thank you for telling it like it was. That doesn't mean your putting Elvis down, your just telling the truth. I seen Elvis on August 1, 1976, there were good moments, and I was excited to see Elvis, but voice wise, not good at all. Elvis's voice was the best in the 50's and 60's, especially starting with the album Elvis Is Back.
That’s great you actually got to see him! Thanks for sharing from an eyewitness account.
You're welcome. I got the chance to talk with Donnie Sumner. Donnie wouldn't say a lot, but I ask him if things were as bad with Elvis as reported, he said they were actually probably worse. I think a lot of things were covered up in the last years.
Something wrong with the sound between 21:35 and 23:35
That might be where I muted a couple clips of a song. I’m not sure. The unedited video is on Patreon.
Really really leave him alone !!!!! What channel is this ??? If anyone not liking what he does!!! Leave this channel. No 1 is making yall watch or listening to him !!!!! 😮😮😮
You gave it 3, I say 4. He had hundreds better, about 200 worse. You wouldn't play this for a friend
What have to uout bolume?
wasnt elvis first cousins together on the mom's side? if so that explains his birth defect on his toes... linda thompson saw his webbed toes on one of his foot and she thought they were cute!!
