Elvis is telling a story about a man who has nothing left after the love of his life left/died (I could never figure which). He starts out slowly and builds to the conclusion that "no one would care if I lived or died." He tells an entire narrative with one word at the end: "Nothing!" This is a song about a man contemplating suicide. An absolutely brilliant performance!

😂 powerful words The power in his voice. Just WOW! ❤

No one has ever matched Elvis' voice. A once-in-the-world unique talent. Great seeing this video! I'm a twenty-four-year-old who wishes Elvis was living now!!! And I'm not a gay guy, just a guy who enjoys a fabulous talent...

Too bad if the new generation is totally blind to true raw talent...they will forever remain in darkness with no light to their grieving lives. God help them if this beautiful man's music cant.

They call that man The King. 💙

Elvis Presley is a legend that's a fact

I had never believed it when my professor in college, both a musicologist and professional symphony musician, himself, told me that he viewed Elvis Presley to be the greatest overall singer of all time. "Why?," "What the hell?," so many of us said? With him first going on to ask what's Frank Sinatra's greatest and/or signature song? "My Way," someone eventually said and then the professor proceeded to show us various polls from over the years which listed Sinatra as the greatest singer ever. Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin were also on top of some, and Elvis, too, on a few. But the point of the exercise was to simply show us Sinatra was considered by many, though it's subjective, to be the greatest. The class then listened to Sinatra's "My Way," and then Elvis' version, back to back. With the room being roughly split as to whose version was better, "which proved what I thought?" But then the professor showed us Elvis rocking out to 'Trying to Get to You' from the Elvis 1968 Comeback Special. With the point ultimately being that regardless of whose version of 'My Way" you preferred, Elvis was right there, totally at home playing in Sinatra's backyard for lack of better parlance. But as to Sinatra playing in Elvis' backyard, he said, it couldn't be done, as he said "[i]magine Sinatra, (who he totally loved) trying to do that rock number?" Then going on to say that he had found no singer who had ever sang more genres, more majestically, than Elvis, & he challenged us to find out for ourselves by looking at his full catalogue of Rock, Pop, Soul, Country, Ballads, Gospel and more. And, when done, I admit I became a convert who was so, so doubtful, at first, I can't even begin to tell you. But from rocking out to 'Trying to Get to You' from that Elvis 1968 Comeback Special, to singing about the dream of humanity coming together with "If I Can Dream," from the same show, I believe you will see what I mean. Elvis even had a voice that could be operatic if you go and listen to 'Hurt' and his version of "You'll Never Walk Alone" will tell you why he has also sold more gospel records than anyone, as well as just tons more, overall. But, with pop and 'Such A Night' to a ballad such as 'They Remind Me Too Much of You,' he did it all, and so, so damn well. While for soul, check out 'Long Black Limousine' or 'You're Wearin' That Loved on Look' which is a bit of another number. Becausde as Elvis' one album cover says, there's 'Something for Everybody.' Also, and if ultimately you don't think Elvis is the best, that's totally cool as there really is something for everyone!;-) Great channel and I wish you the best!!! ~ Christopher Tyler P.S. Those recommendations are only, quite literally, the beginning!

this was actually the rehearsal, he watched the replay and went back stage and cut two inches off his hair. He was such a doll, miss him so much, I been a fan since 1956, I am 80. Saw two of his concerts, they changed my life. Thanks for doing this I appreciate you. PS would you react to "Walk A Mile in My Shoes" Vegas 1970.

Best singer& most gorgeous man ever. One perfect package.

This is one of the best songs ever written, I have listened to versions of it by dozens of other singers, Frank Sinatra, Shirley Bassey, Robert Goulet etc., and Elvis's is the best by far.

This was the rehearsal show version. The show done for broadcast was 2 days later. The songs are virtually identical, but Elvis has a fresh haircut, and the suit was different. They looked identical, but some of the random gold stars all over the suit are different.

My beloved ELVIS, is the most great star who walked the Earth. Unsurpassed, unequalled for centuries to come, God lent it to us for a few years, and took it back from us because he realized that he could not live on this planet, surrounded by "sharks" greedy for his money, his goodness, his kindness and his self-effacement! Almost 47 years after his cruel death, the world still mourns this man born in material misery and died in sickness, the misery of loneliness and malaise!! RIP with your darling daughter and your adored family, you deserve it so much/////

Simply Gorgeous ❤

There is nobody like him Beautiful Beautiful man and Voice ❤❤❤

Not too sure whether you both liked this performance or not. It seems a sign of the times that as a generality listeners want slam bang thankyou ma'am from the start of a song. Anyway thanks for reacting to IMHO one of his greatest live ballad performances, no auto - tune etc. just pure all round talent.

Always a king

… Elvis was the FIRST and BEST! ...No singer was and is as famous as Elvis and has been for almost 70 years!! He has everything a singer needs: GOOD LOOKS, HUMOR, SEXY, a killer VOICE... and above all an incredible CHARISMA!! ... He is still unsurpassed today and a singer for eternity!! ✨💎✨🕺🏻🕯 Thank you

la bombe du siécle 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Love that song wauuuu 👍🙏👍🥰❤❤

OUTSTANDING!!!

Wow thank you for actually playing the whole song through instead of pausing every 10 seconds like most reaction videos.

Elvis sang with heart. No Autotune...no fake BS like today's singers

Thank you 🙏🙏

Greatest singer period!

Live this song and your dog!!

❤👑❤️

That German Shepard sure can tell when greatness is about to happen. Dogs feel emotion and energies on a different level. Your initial emotional reaction to Elvis kicks of with the dog (walking away when it feels harmony is settled in). Extra great reaction because of that.

This is the rehearsal version. After this concert before the actual concert Elvis wanted a haircut. I believe his friend pat parry cut it. So you can see a difference from the two shows.

It’s a “go to” song for me………✌🏻🇺🇸

E sings the juice out of this song. It’s a master class in vocal range … but of course that’s true for most of his performances.

Pls react to bridge over troubled water 1970

THAT RAMP from the STAGE: Producer/director Marty Pasetta told Parker he wanted to build a ramp for Elvis to walk out onto & Parker said no. Even though Pasetta explained that it would be 8 ft. wide & Elvis could stay in the middle or go to the left or to the right if he wanted to because Pasetta knew how important the audience was to Elvis, Parker stll said no. Fortunately, Pasetta was able to meet w-Elvis & he explained exactly what he told Parker. Fortunately again, Elvis overrode Parker & told Pasetta to build the ramp. Paseta told Elvis he wanted him to lose 25 lbs., which Elvis did. Elvis then hugged Pasetta & said you are one of the few people who has been totally honest w-me. Without that ramp the concert would have been very different if Elvis did not have the option to get in close touch w-the audience. There are 2 that are from '68 stand-up segment that are short enough so you could do one then follow it w-the other -- they total only 4 min. This particular version of "Blue Suede Shoes" from sitting to center stage w-a cute finish kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9FlfqiTzp6ykZc.html (2:50 min.) & "Jailhouse Rock" (very different than the rehearsed choreographed film version) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bp1-abSSlaqbe40.html (1:50 min.) - 2 rousing center stage performances w-Elvis doing what he did best. The water throwing incident rarely requested but a powerful, energetic & fun 1972 performance at Hampton Roads, Virginia -- should not be overlooked -- at the very, very start of the video Elvis called out “Please Release Me” but the band began playing “I Can’t Stop Loving You” - he didn’t stop them, he went right into the song, then walked over to his glass of water, picked it up & playfully threw it at Glen @ piano -- just make sure you hear him say Please Release Me, then then it will make sense; also note his little irritated look @ beginning -- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grSkg5h4yZ61d3k.html.

🐕😍

Pretty sure I'm gonna love your reaction to Elvis.. but I know I love your love for your doggie.. That's special to me.. I have 3 beagles right now.. but raised german shepards in the past.. but it truly doesn't matter the breed to me.. I LOVE Dogs.. their just special.

I think the song is great. If you listen to the lyrics, it’s a suicide song. Elvis puts his emotions into it as always… when a person is depressed and contemplating suicide, they’re not going to be hyped up. And then at the end … the “last goodbye” he ends the song with a bang. Brilliant.

Don't mess with the King. just don't

Just the king.can you amagine Justin Bieber or Michael Jackson Sing this whiout aututune 😂😂😂😂

I did NOT Agree With your Reaction At All.. Obviously You haven't a Clue!!!.. of, G.O.A.T

Wow ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ man it crazy elvis ❤❤❤❤mazing
