I love "Black" dressed Elvis too! This look fully shows his SWAG!

When Elvis was in the Army, stationed in Germany,,,, we had "the British Invasion" of music,,,,, The Beatles topping the charts. This "68 Comeback Special" took Elvis over the top again and nobody has ever come close to topping him again. I brag, because I grew up to Elvis's music from the 50s on,,,,,, watching all you people on you-tube really latch on to Elvis and totally enjoy him warms my heart more than you'll ever know😊 thank you❤️

OMG, what a beautiful man and voice! Never be another Elvis!

It's about time elvis starts getting the modern reaction it deserves. He's the king for a reason.

I watched this comeback special when I was 14 - magical 💖💖💖💖 This was a small venue with fans sitting around. He had not performed in front of people for 7 years thus the comeback special. He looks great in his black leather and it was the 60’s. The Beatles - Led Zeppelin - Steppenwolf and other groups were strong so I guess he wandered how this would go. It was magical. “Elvis was hardly ever nervous - but he was then,” drummer D.J. Fontana tells Rolling Stone, reflecting on the 1968 television special that relaunched Presley’s career. “We played a couple of songs, and it got loose after a while, and it turned out fine. He just had been out of the public eye for a long time.”

We Elvis fans are very protective of our guy.

I love Evil Elvis in this video. He's relaxed, having fun and enjoying himself. Its the real Elvis

By the way, Elvis never lip-synced a song. The suit he wore for the closing of If I Can Dream for the special was not a jumpsuit, it was a gorgeous dress suit. Elvis had many different jumpsuits, the white ones are shown the most because those are the ones that were recorded for a movie and television specials. He also started a fad when he introduced his jumpsuits in 1969 on stage, so many people started copying Elvis and wearing jumpsuits. I don't care what Elvis wore, he was just so GORGEOUS.

Elvis will never die because ever year young people discover him. So he will never fade away. Long live the KING. LOVE ELVIS ALWAYS

Elvis never lip synced a live performance. If I Can Dream was recorded as a tribute to Dr Martin Luther King shortly after his assassination. This 68 comeback special was a nervous time for him as it was the first live performance for 10 years as his film contract didn’t allow him to perform . Great your enjoying this

The white suit version of IF I CAN DREAM is not the white jumpsuits you've been seeing and it is a better version, but Elvis never lip synced a song. This song in the black leather is really a great song. Your really doing a good job with your reactions. Thank you for doing Elvis for us his fans.

I'm on your side with this. I love this look on Elvis. This concert was his first in several years after taking a hiatus from performing. The close up audience and the black leather were both very new looks for the King and he hit it out of the park with this concert.

God was definitely showing off when he made Elvis!! Most beautiful man ever! And black leather..Man!!😍

The reason the stage was so small it was by invitation only, Elvis had been away from live performances for sometime, he was nervous about the reception that he would receive (imagine that), so the Colonel Parker set this type of concert to help with Elvis' being not sure how he would be received by a live concert audience. Elvis for whatever reason thought it might not be a successful. Elvis will be loved forever. RIP Elvis

Elvis was fine in whatever he wore. The white suit he wears in the If I Can Dream song is different than the white jumpsuit you’re used to seeing him in. It’s a regular mans dress suit. Thanks for all the Elvis stuff. You’re doing great. :)

ELVIS NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER LIPSYNCHED. I really like your reactions. I LOVE everything Elvis but the black leather suit is my favorite as well BUT.... ELVIS NEVER LIPSYNCHED.

70,000 people lined the streets outside Graceland on the day of Elvis' funeral. These people just showed up to pay their respects Of you are upset about the disrespect for Elvis. This is the 68 comeback special. You should watch it or buy it.Thid is a leather suit. He got real hot. I'm a fan from 1956. Yes, I was real young, but not too young to see what I liked, still do.

This video is from his 1968 "comeback special"that was televised on NBC in T.V. studio. This was not a concert. Elvis had been out of the music scene for several years due to being contractually obligated to make movies. He was trying to reintroduce himself and start making non-movie music and get back to what made him happy, which was, making music and performing on stage. The "white jumpsuits" were his stage attire when he started doing residency in Vegas in the early 70s. He adopted them for his concert tours thereafter, up until his death. There were many different colors from black to blue to even goldish colored jumpsuits.😂(Hey, I didn't say they weren't tacky but, it was the 70s man and "superfy" suits and platform heels were in style too)

What the director was going for was recreating "Elvis and friends jamming in his dressing room after they finished for the day"

Elvis had it going on!! Man was beyond gorgeous!! Raw sensuality on stage!!

You heard of the B-Hive right, but you aren’t ready for the Elvis fans worldwide that have been going strong forty years after his death, and new fans to his music are being awaken everyday! Trust me, you don’t want that kind of smoke!

Elvis is one talented man

Also don’t ignore his performance as a 19 year old versus him as a 33 year old man. He aged, was in the army for two years, did 29 movies, got married, had a daughter all while the Beatles were a part of the British Invasion with Led Zeppelin, the Byrds, Rolling Stones, and more. Music thought he was in the past. This tv special proved otherwise!

wow... the fact that you are in love with his comeback... bro... 1954 with Sun Studio and 1956-1961 (army)... it is so entertaining that people find his comeback the beginning. He died at 42. This was his COMEBACK

Elvis in white many years later. This was his comeback moment. Live on NBC. Best he was ever was.

I believe Elvis was in the best shape to wear this jumpsuit. We all know it fit Elvis (like a glove)🥰🥰 And it looks cool. As Elvis got older, maybe the white studded jumpsuits were more appropiate.

In this 68 comeback special he wanted to portray himself as a rebel. He got in shape and worked on his tan.

No lip sync or auto tune for this guy! My favorite Elvis song.

Gives you an idea how passionate fans are about Elvis. !!

The black suit was inspired by demi shirt and pants set that was popular. No one wore a suit that was all leather. The black suit was almost turned into swatches for a special collection for fans to buy. Each record came with a swatch of Elvis's clothes. Someone working for him saved it and some other iconic outfits from the swatch factory.

Brother I’m so happy to hear that you saw his message over his undeniable performance and how he meant every word of it 👍

This was his comeback to live audience performances after being off stage doing 29 movies. The jumpsuits and other antics would come later. Watch the entire show Elvis 1968 Comeback Special.

This is the very first “unplugged” you’re witnessing.

Hahaha, this is the best version anyway. Lol We love all your reactions, but the white suit of If I can Dream is very emotional.

Love your Elvis reactions.. not just your insight but watching you watch him and you cant help but smile. love it

Thank you for playing Elvis. Keep it up. He's the Best of all time.

Its not about the suit, its the performances, some are more impressive, but all are great

I love black suit Elvis! 😍😍😍 This was supposed to be a like a sit down jam session.

True he was on a different planet love this song there's loads of him in the black leather suit on the 68 comeback special One night with you is great also like you said as well he was a funny guy he started in 1954 first hit was 1956 awesome you do the Elvis journey you want I said to you watch the white suit If I could dream by yourself it was still great him singing in black my god he was beautiful in 68 thank you and stay safe 😷✌👍

That night, '68 Comeback Special, the unplugged session in that black leather outfit is the absolute definition of perfection. No one before or since can come close.

Neither version of "If I Can Dream" was lip synched ... Was lucky to see the man live when just a little kid, my mom took me to see him perform in 1970 at Olympia Stadium in Detroit, Michigan. Main floor seats, was a crazy experience for a kid with all the screaming women ... LOL. Enjoy the reactions, looking forward to seeing many more! ✌

He wore all different color jumpsuits. This is Elvis ‘68 Special now known as the ‘68 Comeback Special because he was locked in movie contracts and hadn’t performed live in years.

He was supposed to remain seated through the stage performances of this Special, but...this is Elvis...NOT GONNA HAPPEN!

Black leather suit is my favorite Elvis. He did wear the white jumpsuits but he also had jumpsuits in a multitude of colors. He's most famous for the aloha from Hawaii white American eagle jumpsuit. Thus far you've been watching the Vegas white chain suit and white stud suit. In the 50s he wore 50s clothes.

The white suit performance was epic! However, speaking has a female that has been crushing on Elvis for over 50 years...black leather Elvis .....well just so gorgeous that it's all good. I'm enjoying watching the younger generations discover the great music of my youth & us Elvis fans are pretty passionate...sorry if some got carried away. You're doing great!

In the 68 Comeback Special the last the last song of the show he wore his two-piece white suit but when he started in the 70s in Vegas making all those movies from 1960 to about 1967 29 Motion Pictures he started his gigs in Vegas anymore the white jumpsuits with the turned-up colors and the flared out bottom legs Elvis was a man of style he had suits like everyday suits with capes that went with them not just escapes on stage you can say that and interviews they do for him when he goes to Houston Astrodome they interviewing there's another one I'm not quite sure what city is who he has on a blue suit with a blue cape the man was cool the man was everything to me since I was 11 years old now 76 to me he is the king the goat the greatest of all times the most handsome most charismatic the best Stage presence the best looks and the best voice try his version of Bridge Over Troubled Waters Elvis covered a lot of songs a lot of songs written for him in the movies but he didn't have a lot of single pets written for him and the ghetto was written for him personally but I'll according to google his catalog is about 605 songs which holodomor cover songs and lot of them come from 29 movies a lot of come from 1956 to 58 when the Army took him to Germany for two years they thought once he was out of sight for little teenage girls wouldn't go crazy over him what her mama 76-year old great-grandmother not still go crazy for him you can get like the 68 Comeback Special Aloha from Hawaii 1973 you need to listen to a song called what now my love you gave me a mountain these are my recommendations for right now so I'll be watching to see if you do any of them AKA Elvis Junkie

I absolutely love your reaction to this video. Especially people who have never heard Elvis for the first time. He was definitely the king of rock and roll

The 68 Comeback is the true Elvis.

White or black suit is great! Fans of Elvis are strong in their beliefs for sure.....I am one of them...ha ha! The white suit of if I can dream is more emotional when he sings it.....just me.....anyway you are doing great on your reactions! Now this song....trying to get to you....raw, in the moment Elvis!

Elvis beautiful to look at listen to fantastic love your reaction

He did a lot of movies before this 1968 come back into play music on stage again and was showing how he started playing back in the 50th with just a small group.

I watched the come back show with my Mom on television in 68' and I was 9 yrs. old. It is great to go back and watch this. Elvis could sing!! He looked healthy here.♡♡♡

I love to hear see elvis anytime .thank u sir.

Evil Elvis is awesome in this song, Trouble, Heartbreak Hotel and Memories. ❤️

Iam with you all the with Elvis. I grew up listening to him singing and I never get tired. Please, react to one of his hit song recorded in 1973 from Honolulu Hawaii. YOU GAVE ME A MOUNTAIN. "

He was the best singer ever

Elvis sang in front of this crowd or any crowd for the first time in 9 years. Finally out of the movie contracts and was very nervous and thought he was gonna bomb again like in Vagas in 56'.this was supposed to be a Christmas Special. The show was four years earlier then your first ever Elvis ( Suspicious Minds) appearance that was in 1972 or 73' Las Vegas.

To clarify the white suit in the 68 comeback special was a one time thing...Elvis the white jumpsuit is his signature attire throughout his concert years 1970-77

I saw this show on TV that night when he was live. I think the white outfits were for Vegas. when he had his television show he weared different suits, more classy for TV. But this was a special get together to hang with his friends and fans and be himself and more informal and relax. He looked perfect from top to bottom, hair perfect leather outfit and leather boots.

This song was almost lost. It was an unused cut from Sun Records. When Elvis in Army he was with RCA and they wanted anything Sun had.

This was his so called come back special ( which is my favorite) This was Before he started the stage performances, they didn't start until 1970. The stage performances was all Elvis that put Everything together! The backup singers, the jumpsuits how the band played and he also hired the orchestra. On stage he has little signals for the band and backup singers. They rehearsed for 2mos before the first show at the international. You can see the rehearsals on the That's the way it is video. It's worth the watch! You also see his sense of humor in alot of the rehearsal videos, After his last shows they would all go to his penthouse and sing gospel songs until daylight. That was the way he wound down from all the energy he put on stage.

You actually nailed it. He was from another planet! No matter what he was wearing! Always great, always hot!!! Thanx for your reaction!

Evil Elvis is awesome in this song, Trouble, and Memories. ❤️

I just gotta set your record straight. Elvis never lip synced. Not ever not once. You can hear every out of breath note he is singing is real and live.

Elvis performed two sit-down shows, and two standing shows for the special. Various other scenes were filmed for a sort of story thread that ran through the special... Many outtakes and bloopers can be found on the Deluxe DVD edition of the show.

Thank you for this......Elvis has made my life so great. I became a fan when I was 6.....now I am 65....he does something to your soul...big time.

You go ahead and enjoy any Elvis you want, I love him in any colors or outfits. I love him inthe leather black suit, my favorite.So you go ahead and get your pick, I got you, a 72 yr old granny.

Thanks to my grandma and mother I am an Elvis fan and this 68 comeback special is one of my favorites to watch and or listen to ❤️. The man could sing and make you feel what he was saying.

The white suit version of If I could Dream. The passion he showed in that video. Is off the charts. This white suit we R talking about. Is really just a Regular Suit. A Shirt , A Tie, A Jacket an Paints. Nothing like the white suites U have seen him in

The white suit "I can dream" is not th he jump suit, it's a white suit and tie. Also, this show was pre white jump suit...

His performance was always live

No lip sync. Live was live. Only for songs in the movies because they were done in studio then added to the scenes in the film.

Elvis could sing the phone book and I’d listen : )))

Elvis is the coolest and most beautiful man ever. Thanks for your great reactions.

Jumpsuits didn't exist at this time. It was a white suit. Here he was wearing the black leather. Again the other version of I can dream, is more passionate, emotive...you really feel it more than the version you watched. You get the feels. It reaches out and grabs you. This is one of my favorites 😍

Dude, you do you! I really enjoy your reactions - New subscriber! The "evil" Elvis - 1968 Come Back special is one of the best live performances Ever!!! You can't go wrong with any of the songs! The "If I Can Dream" performance, in the white suit is the more viewed version. But I prefer the Black suit performance. People think it's Elvis lip syncing to the actual performance - in the white suit- it's not. There are very subtle vocal differences! I have watched the 68 Come Back Special several times and I have to say, hands down, it's my absolute favorite live Elvis performance!!

Hi Best, I enjoy your videos, thank you. The version preferences are silly to me because having the options just give us more of Elvis which is lovely. I was 18 when this Special was televised and was glued to the TV. I later saw him live twice which was exciting and wonderful. Still, except for the montages which I didn't love, the Special was my favorite performance because it was up close and personal. His short discussion about rock & roll was enlightening at the time. Best entertainer ever. Lastly, the new Elvis movie is awesone. Having lived through that era, I am so glad that Baz Luhrmann put Elvis' story into historical context. Austin Butler was amazing! People who complain that AB didn't look like the real Elvis...hello, Elvis is dead. No one will ever look exactly like him again. Though I had Elvis in my life since the age of five years, and know well what he looked like, I "saw" him in the movie. Austin is that good!

His Black Leather suit was pre jumpsuits, this was a coming back concert before his jumpsuit days, he was busy making movies before this concert, he missed performing before a live audience, he was petrified he would not be accepted back to live concerts, but found out immediately he was missed being on stage, he moved around so much on stage and his jumpsuit material let him do his stage movements without ripping his pants which he did a lot pre jumpsuit days !

I’m a younger huge Elvis fan…I heard that this 68 comeback special was filmed in a studio and it was supposed to be just Elvis and his band….but then Elvis wanted a little audience so they walked out onto the street and got women to come to this.

The "white jump suit Elvis" is when he started kissing the same ass he used to kick! Las Vegas shows in front of blue haired old ladies, white jump suits with big belt buckles, it was all a joke, and what was sad was he only had yes men around him who couldn't (or wouldn't) help lead him in the right direction. The black leather Elvis was a comeback special he created in 1968 to revive his career after a long lay off. In that time he wasn't doing anything, music was evolving, The Beatles exploded, the world was changing. Elvis started out raw and awesome on Sun Records in 1954. Sam Philips (the owner of Sun Records) sold Elvis to RCA Records in 1955 (for $35,000...I don't think Sam ever got over that massive mistake), then he was drafted into the army in December 1957 (and was sworn-in March 1958). And that was kind of the death knell of his awesome rawness, when the government got a hold of him. When he came back from the army, he was involved with making kooky movies, and his music started to loose its edge. This is when he stopped performing, and the Beatles took over. The 1968 comeback special "black leather Elvis" reunited him with Scotty Moore (his original guitarist) and DJ Fontana (his original drummer), and that's why "black Leather Elvis" sounds so awesome! The black leather Elvis was his attempt at reliving that awesome rawness he had in the 1950's, and he captured it for most of that television special. He was doing that original, raw 1950's material with the guys he originally recorded it with. It's too bad he didn't stick with that, but instead, he became the overweight, white jump suit Elvis. There's no doubt that some of Elvis' latter music was great...burning love, suspicious minds, in the ghetto, etc., but in my humble opinion, none of it holds a candle to the earth shattering, kick the walls down, in you're face music he created rom 1954 to 1957. My recommendation is continue watching videos from the comeback special (the Black leather Elvis), then start listening to studio recordings of the 1950's Elvis, and I would start with his first one "That's Alright Mama", and go forward from there. Just a suggestion. In addition to Elvis, I would highly recommend checking out Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Ray Charles (start with the original Atlantic Records recordings), Robert Johnson, Hank Williams Sr., and definitely check out Led Zeppelin, who were kind of an amalgamation of all of that, plus. Peace

This was pure music that is shut up in his bones... why I love his rehearsal, and after concert gospel jam session videos also, its him, the musician raw.

I love your reactions, especially to Elvis! Thank you sir! Greetings from Greece!

This is the greatest Elvis ever was. True Elvis.

His voice was effortless. Do what ya want.😘

pay attention as you go along in life there is always a mention or reference to Elvis every where you go!

That Black Leather outfit is absolutely timeless. 💯

It’s your channel so do whatever you want. We love any Elvis video. Many Elvis fans are so passionate that they tend to sometimes have huge reactions. I love all his music, so I appreciate anything you post.

I Love your Elvis videos no matter what Elvis is wearing, i take Elvis anyway i can, lol, thank you for your awesome videos of the King !

Dont get discuraged, thanks for anything you do with Elvis. And remember written text often comes out a little more rude than intended. Thanks again, thank you very much 😎😄

Hes the king!!!❤

He said the black leather suit was too hot, and made him sweat too much. It was his 68' comeback special. This was after he quit making making movies (the bad movies he hated making, but was under contract). He missed the live performances because he lived his fans. After the 68' special, he wanted something cool and comfortable to perform in.

The story behind...If I can dream is so cool. HE LEARNED THE SONG LAYING ON THE FLOOR LIKE A BABY.

Sadly this is only the backup performance of this song, they did two for the special and the other black suit version is even better

KING! Fantastic Old Man BEST

Nobody ever said we don’t like black suit Elvis (evil Elvis)😂 I love black suit Elvis! However the white suit version of “If I Can Dream” is just a very powerful performance. Both versions were sung during the same TV special so Elvis’s white suit version of if I can dream is very stripped down & settled down as you observed. Personally I think of the 68 Comeback Special as Elvis’s MTV unplugged show. Great reactions, keep them coming!

❤both suits black and white he looks gorgeous with both.god bless you young Man ❤ The GOAT.🙏 amen.

The 68 Comeback Special white suit performance was not lip synced because Steve Bender the Director said it cost them a lot money for him to it live on tv.The show was not called the 68 Comeback Special when it first aired it was called the Singer Presents Elvis,oh Singer is a sewing machine company.

Thing is after this Elvis said never again to the leather suit, it was hot and miserable and it was a one time thing. haha!

And the suit is leather I love it 🐐

When the comments say white suit for If I can dream its not what you think, hes in a real white suit not a jumpsuit like in the stage shows and its the smoothest looking elvis youll ever see
