Elvis had bone cancer i his legs and 4 other major medical conditions. He had the same liver disease his mother had. His colon was enlarged, twisted, and spastic.He did not want to wear a bag so he did not have colon surgery.Since several of his conditions were not curable, he knew he would die young.He suffered much and even while on stage. He never wanted fans to know.His suffering is over.He is with Jesus now.

His true fans love him always, these others are just jealous, Elvis one and only. Your simply the best

He never gave less than 110%of himself on stage, anyone who complains is not a true fan

So true , 👍 he looked fine here just six months before he passed away 😢

Yes it was that last concert that he was very bloated and you could tell he was very sick and not feeling well. But he gave it all he could. People always want to focus on that instead of remembering all those years he gave us. This man was a musical angel. And a great piece of eye candy too

I agree! Elvis deserves all our love always! I'll defend him, too! TCELVIS!

I am with you.

AMEN ! ✌️❤️🙏🏻🕊️😇✝️♾️

I've been a fan since 1955, and will be.

So true James

He does!and I love when we can see his eyes open💕

Yes, in this consert he seems pretty healthy and seems to be in average shape for 41 year old man. Still top in his game at that point. But maan 6 months after this he was not even the same person anymore, not the same funny and very full of energy personality and he didnt even look like Elvis anymore

He weighed about 225 and healthy here. Sadly, his weight steadily increased to 350 by end of '77.

​@@conditionallyunconditional5691I know there's reports of Elvis was about 350 at the end,but I don't buy that at all. He looked about ,at a reasonable guess around 260-280 absolute max. It's said his colon weighed around 35lbs and twice its normal size,which in its self is unreal. He must of been in so much pain.

Tal cual... tu tienes razón.

@@darylheasman1 I agree with this. I think his weight is often exaggerated - and so much of it was physical illness

@Margaret White--it’s said by ones close to Elvis that they WRAPPED him in Saran Wrap to hold his stomach in. Did you notice his stomach enlarged? Age was also a factor, plus the food 🥘 he ate plus drugs. Elvis was 41yo. when you saw him perform.

@@FLIPPER1439 who is 'they'. You sure 'they' didn't put a tin foil hat on him, too? Heck, maybe 'they' put his twin on stage. This might be a prototype version of AI. What ya 🤔?

THE MAN COULD SING ANYTHING! LOOK AT SOME OF THE " MOVIE" SOUNDTRACKS.

@@jiwbink m

Maybe in another 1000 years God might create another Elvis

Thank you those wise people that saved this video bjr

Awesome

I agree!

Catherine Houston I fully agree with you.He is fantastic.Doing hurt singing from his soul.His voice doing that pitch and on the floor with the ending? Superb!!

What a man.

I was there at inferno of his best concerts. This will be in my memory banks until I die. Another thing I remember is the snow storm the next day I had to drive back to Maryland. But I would go to this concert again even it I knew about the snow storm. Hail to the king

When he goes to the floor at the encore of Hurt that is out of this world...

Wow awesome carol, God bless you

Love hearing from fans that went to his concerts!

That fact there is no professional recording of this concert is very depressing.

The best thing that happened to me was when I bumped into him after a show in Vegas at the International Hotel after I walked to throw 2 bottles of champagne that we drank celebrate my friends wedding. I was 16 and they wouldn't allow me in the Casino. So, as I was walking back to the Van, a door opened an out came ELVIS with a towel around his neck. We both said excuse me, and I saw his beautiful sky blue eyes. I just stood there watched him get into a blue Mercedes Benz stretched limo, with a bunch of guys. Which now I know where the Memphis mafia. I've lived him ever since. I did get to see him in Anaheim stadium in 76, cuz we tried to get tickets after I saw him, and he was sold out till 1974. I will ALWAYS CARRY ELVIS IN MY MIND AND HEART ❤ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 ❤ 💙

Cliff for #1 This is better than Aloha Hawaii IMO. Truly great!

Elvis was 41yo and the toll of abuse of “mega drugs” plus performing beyond ones physical being-caused his demise. He kept trying to ~~FIND the LORD GOD~~who he knew could only give him👉peace of mind, but the song 🎵 he sang sums it all up~~”””I’m in a trap-I can’t get out””” explains his state of mind. Had Elvis taken 1 year off..to get help-he probably would have changed future performances. Traveling with Christian quartets as he told people close to him. Remember how he told Nancy Sinatra-“”I should have stayed in church ⛪️ “” he meant singing gospel songs without a doubt. I understand that his Golden records etc etc ~~were due to his Gospel Songs/Records~~Now that tells us the real desires of Elvis. He told us all! I’m sure he would have filled arenas in -every USA 🇺🇸State. Many Gospel Artists were filling arenas in late 1970’s…into 1980’s. I was at several and they were awesome…spiritually fulfilling that is. Elvis would have had to make changes on how he performed….taming down all the Gyrations, but that would have been easy as he was 40+yo. Elvis would have drawn 1,000’s, but focus would have been on the LORD ✝️ JESUS…and no longer ELVIS PRESLEY. 👉ONCE a person has had a true salvation-centered on the Lord Jesus~~that person is strengthened spiritually giving GLORY ONLY TO GOD. 🙌 Elvis would have found this easy to do once freed from the demons of drugs-we would have known the REAL MAN-ELVIS🌟

I saw him in Tampa in 1975. He wasn't quite as annimated as he is here in this one. He was wonderful though. He always was.

@@FLIPPER1439 S your

@@AFMauriceMD Maybe because of his divorce.

Beautifully said and great incite. I never thought about that, but my God, maybe he was ashamed and so addicted that he gave up.

If Elvis what would never existed where would music be today. Every one of Elvis concerts should have been recorded, a lot of his songs were more power when he was on stage because he loved being there it made happy, I hate to think of how many wonderful concerts I never got to see, he really put his whole heart into his shows, he never disappointed his fans because he loved them and they loved him an still do.

Elvis j'adore ton sourire tu as beaucoup de charme tu as beaucoup apporté à à la chanson grâce à toi la musique et ce qu'elle est aujourd'hui en 2023 merci Elvis

How could his health have deteriorated from this performance until the following August when he died?!! What a difference in his looks & energy, but still, the same gorgeous voice. Never lost it. Love him!

Steve espinoza milwaukee elvis was the best ever we all love you and miss you forever you live in all of our hearts today and until the end of time. Rest in peace my brother.

Last show just for the record Kendra...was June 26 '77 👑🎶👑

Always!

Well he just met Ginger Alden, so maybe that had something to do with his playful upbeat mood....

This show is much better than aloha

After years of drug abuse..a persons body adjusts to drugs, and many people can hide abuse very well.

@@Rocker92ification He was upbeat n funny here. Yea...sound better than Aloha n looked great.

@@no288 eu acho q ele estava feliz por estar comeczndo um novo relacionamento com a Ginger Alden...talvez fazendo novos planos...fazia muigo tempo q nao vi o Elvis tao feliz e sorridente nos shows logico a pelas datas dos videos da pra perceber uma mudanca pra melhor, pena q a sua saude nao estava tao bem...mesmo assim ele deu o seu melhir nesse show e o a mais gostei eh a ele saiu do lugar comum e cantou musicas diferentes e lindas como Rag to reaches Elvis insuperavel voz de outro planeta ...num tem nais o q falar de Elvis the King...

I agree wholeheartedly. I am 79 now and appreciate Elvis' tremendous voice more than ever. His gospel collection is truly above any other with the heart rending passion with which he sings. Touches the heart like no other. His spiritual connection to the entire world. RIP, Elvis ❣

I was17 and had tickets for Aug 17, 1977 Portland Maine. So devastated I didn’t get to see him. Appreciate all these posts!

I never knew about Elvis got to know about him on his death 1977 when I was 12Y 8 mth living in British Hong Kong. Eng TV Stn pre emptied all prog and showed all fabulous concerts 68 all to his last concert and kept airing Elvis concerts till 1982. No VCR to record down became Elvis fan instantly. Wrote letter to HK TVB station in 1983 with help from uncle with many fake signatures they replied regret to say no rights to re run concerts but instead showed his sorry to say silly movies. I always listen daily see his videos in my collection as no other singers makes the same effects as former living GOD of music in this world. Elvis is my 2nd GOD. GOD got jealous took him away for himself early.

Yes. But the same goes for other world greats and wonderful phenomena. There are heroes in every era. Elvis is one of the most important great soloists. Although I can no longer go to Elvis' concerts, fortunately there are still footage of his amazing performances. If you watch his footage and imagine him right in front of you, you'll get excited. Although Elvis has passed away, new works and values ​​continue to be created. Like the Elvis movie from last year. A new generation will find new value in Elvis' great legacy.

@Justin Everestt... 🦋⚘🦋⚘ ELVIS FOREVER KING MAGNÍFICO E INESQUECÍVEL AMOOO❤⚘ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷

@drright10 you misunderstood my comment. I meant it was the best concert of 1976 that he did I should have wrote that instead. Considering the fact that his life was up and down in 1976

So true Amen

Yea. That last one should have never aired. But, it's ok...he is still the King.

I agree with u! I think in Jan 77 he had wrote he’s just tired of it all. I’d be too, it’s too much for so many years! Imagine the possibilities he would of had if he has rested longer, other opportunities would of been available to him. It just really makes you sad. He didn’t have to slim down too too much …but looks like the meds were swelling him up in his face and tummy, and maybe the pills were affecting his appetite ….but more than anything he needed to rest his eyes and his body, just rest. His eyes were so bad…u can see how he alwys grabs his head and eyes …the pain he’s going thru yet he’s working so hard through it…all for his fans. It’s heartbreaking . Migraines glaucoma etc geez. Just want to give him a huge hug! 🥺

@@SimplyBellaa_xo I second your sentiment 100% Isa, and since I can’t give you a fraternal hug 🤗 I propose a toast to, our love and admiration for King Elvis…Salud! 🍻

@@SimplyBellaa_xo wholeheartedly agree. Glaucoma so so painful . Giving his all to his fans. I just wish he’d have had people who genuinely cared . Wish I could have hugged him too 😢😢😢

Thank You for sharing Gene Meo!! I am happy for you that you had the amazing opportunity to see the King live - what a fabulous memory from this Pittsburgh New Years' Eve Concert it must have been....you should share more about this event, if you'll like? ;-) At this time, in late '76 I had been listening to Elvis for almost 2 years. I remember when I heard him the first time, in 1975, at a birthday party for my classmate Madeleine. I went up to the record player and looked at the album, a double record with Elvis.....I remember thinking; (only 8 years old at the time) 'Man, this is good, I gotta get some albums of him for sure!!' - And, so I did.....plenty of them!! ;-) I still love listening to Elvis at any given moment and for any reason whatsoever! :-)

Gene Meo OK I'm jealous of anyone who saw him live!

Wow! Just seeing these replies now, 4 and 6 years later. I do feel very lucky to have seen Elvis in concert. It’s very special to me. I’ve recently been going through a resurgence of interest in him and his music. Not sure why but I’ve felt a need to hear him daily. What a gift from God he was. A beautiful man. It’s hard to believe that in a few years it will be fifty years since his passing. He’ll never be forgotten.. long live the King. TCB..

Elvis had to take care of Elvis.

@@kennethcurtis1856I liked that guy! Sad. Thanks! Daniel from Rio de Janeiro.

Closest ones to Elvis-even his Dad could not get Elvis to stop taking Drugs. Elvis was 💯% addicted~~SO VERY SAD 😔 Remember how Elvis response to his close bodyguard--“”””I NEED THESE PILLS 💊 “””” Justified Addiction is when a person believes their own lies😢 There were-NO Betty Ford Centers back then, however I just found this➡️ Dr Rusk “”the father of comprehensive rehabilitation” founded in 1951 New York. There was HELP, but Elvis controlled his own behavioral habits. No one could stop him….he had to help himself. A decision to face reality and make choices for ones self-has to be the WILL of the person❗️ 👉REHABILITATION==defined as bringing back to a positive condition.

Surprizingly they did take care of him

Surprizingly his people did take care of him but how does one say "no"to the "King" when he pays the bills just ask red and sonny

Before it was getting an autograph from Elvis, then when he passed away, people started getting autographs from those who worked with him, especially his band members, Memphis Mafia, ex wife, etc. and after all they are gone, it will be getting autographs from fans who saw at least one of his shows. This guy is a legend.

It had to be hard for Priscilla because she loved the world's most gorgeous man and humble man and the best entertainer ever the girls going crazy over him all she wanted was to have him all too herself and that was clearly not ever gonna be he shared his life with all of us just a beautiful man ever and ever

Really?!

I saw Elvis twice 75 77 in Phoenix and Tempe Arizona

@Phil Silverman He played also the organ , drums bass, fender, acoustic rhythm guitar, accordion mandolin ..etc. DJ Fontana said he played any instrument he felt like..that all he had to do was pick it up and play it.

Quelle énergie…

Brandon Leonard Pilz N

I guess the reason why was because the Aloha concert was via satellite and unprecedented. Elvis was so nervous.

@@gapstead he had to finish on time..he had time constraints for tv satellite broadcast..yes he was nervous.Who wouldn't be?

@@margarettaylor8107 even nervous-never showed except for ‘excessive 😓 sweating’ ~~even Knowing the jump suit was heavy & hot.

thanks to nick and the colonol, parker that sob was earning 50% of everything elvis did, he was dutch so am i and iám no proud of it,nick gave elvis so many pills he liked the living in luxery, witch doktor would travel night and day with a patient!

Nor did the extremely steep price of $20 for third tier seats beside the stage.... The Colonel learned a year earlier when he booked Elvis into the Pontiac Siverdome the profit potential of New Years Eve shows.

Can you imagine a 20 dollar show today .

@@glorial8955 And your gonna see Elvis for $20 or less...Unbelievable

Also the pounds he packed on in 8 months .

@@Jay-vr9ir A lot of it was swelling because of his colon.

@@Jay-vr9ir A lot of it was swelling because of his colon.

​@@Jay-vr9ir38 pounds of calcified stool in his colon, partly 5 months old. Very painful and infectious.

Absolutely outstanding! TCELVIS!

You are so right! Elvis loved his fans and he lived for them! We will never see another human being like him again in many lifetimes or ever! He gave his fans cars, who does that? Elvis does, he is a gem...

I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love him.

your so right there in it for the money, i don't buy any thing else just Elvis i listen to him every day and night.. i wake up to his music and fall asleep to his music.. I feel like a lot of people do Elvis did not die then maybe now but not then it was in his music between the lines.. Forever Elvis will live on he was a prince and then The king of Rock & roll I don't think there will ever be any one to top him if there is They will be sent by God Almighty. I wish he would have had a son perhaps he would have been like him.. Long Live the King Elvis.. Elvis Aaron Presley January 8, 1935 August 16 1977 You are remembered & still loved Long Live the "KING" Of Rock & Roll.. Happy Birthday Sweet Elvis.

In 1969 Elvis would go down to the gate at his LA home & talk to his fans as a way to start getting ready to go back on stage that July. He made quite a few life long friends that way. He would invite them into his home & show them his new stage costumes & stay up all night talking. Once he noticed an older couple had stopped showing up at the gate every day & he asked about them but nobody knew what had become of them. Elvis , on his own , found out their last names & also found where they lived (in a house trailer/mobile home thing). He went to their place & knocked on the door & hung out with the lady ,whose husband had been hospitalized (that's why they weren't at the gate any more). Elvis paid the bills for them until they got on their feet again. I can't imagine any other celebrity doing that.

Keith Glimmer Thank you so much for sharing that story...I can not imagine any other celebrity going to the lengths that Elvis went to help people in need...we know of some of the stories but I am sure there are so much more that he did that we don't know about...he truly was the most giving beautiful man

My love for you will never never die.

Zazdroszczę Ci, ja również marzę, żeby być na koncercie..., chociaż wiem ,że to nierealne, pozdrawiam 29 13 2023r.

Yes, I was 17 and was going to see him in Portland Maine, his first stop of the new tour. I didn’t care what they wrote or his weight.if only he’d known millions of people still loved him.

Elvis was very disappointed about the lack of loyalty of Red, Sonny and Dave after everything he had done for them: donated houses and cars, paid their livelihood, their medical bills, holidays, travelling, hotels, food and the schools of their children. Red West already parasited on Elvis when he was in Germany and did so until 1976. At the time of their discharge in 1976 they hadn't been working for Elvis during a year. Probably because Elvis was sued because Sonny, Red and Dave assaulted Elvis' fans. Vernon said they were fired to economize which might have been an additional reason. Publishing a tell-all book about Elvis brought them money but was very treacherous. Thanks to sugardaddy Elvis they lived a very luxurious exciting and carefree life during 10-20 years with access to many beautiful women and paid filmparts organised by Elvis Presley, who worked very hard while his parasitic entourage just hung around doing nothing. Red, Sonny and Dave apparently thought that sugardaddy Elvis was somehow obliged to provide for them and entertain them. They thought they had the right to parasite on Elvis because he had allowed them to do so before. Like spoiled grown children who expect their parents to keep caring for them. They felt entitled to Elvis' lifelong financial support and when Elvis didn't deliver anymore they took revenge by demeaning him publicly to damage him personally and ruin his career!

Suplasvegas This concert would be that much better if it had been professionally filmed and recorded.

he didn't die from suicide as a lot of people claim he did.He died from a broken heart. and if he did died he didn't die alone he had Jesus with him. I personally don't think he did die but that's just my opinion

+Carolyn Vance What makes you think he had Jesus with him at any time in his life? I didn't know Jesus snooped around in other people's bathrooms.

+Carolyn Vance Well, if a man saves up 3 attacks and then takes them all at once, guess you don't call that suicide? don't get me wrong, I love Elvis too, but we need to keep a reality check here.

+elvisleeboy you have your opinion and I have mine that's what makes the world go round

+Carolyn Vance Elvis died of a vagal response brought on by trying to bare down for a bowel movement. His colon was in bad shape from all the pain killers which slow the digestion to a crawl. When a person bares down trying to have a bowel movement they slow the heart rate down dramatically. When this happens you can pass out, which is what happened. he suffocated with his face in the carpet before he came to again.

3/22/2023 This was the best Elvis Concert ever! I’ve listened to his music since his first records! I’m 82 & still love his music!
