"He is magical" even 50 years later! When he performs live, the combination of his voice and his charisma, it is so mesmerizing that in that moment, there is no past, there is no future, there is just...ELVIS

Never apologize for running it back sir!

Dude, his command of the stage, the band and the audience is second to NONE

The way he barks at the band in approval, spins around and carries them home by emptying his soul on the stage, is a master class in performing live.

I heard this a lot and still get goose bumps and emotional, Elvis belts that out like no one else could

Finally......a reaction to match the performance. Best ever!!!! Kudos!

He is.......... THE G.O.A.T. !!!!!!! THE KING FOREVER!!!!!!!

Hes the best that ever was if he was still alive. Today he still will be on top.

God has a plan and Elvis is a big part of it through his singing . Every time Elvis opens his mouth to sing, the "gospel " comes out. ❤ Amen

Elvis was a very proud AMERICAN PATRIOT 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

One true heartfelt song,thank you for keeping Elvis alive

No one knew how to sing a song like he did. He understood how and where to pull back, go high, low, end the note etc...He had a musical intelligence that many don't understand. He doesn't beat you over the head with his voice, but left you awestruck with it's power, range and his ability to change it at will and in a heartbeat. This performance gives me the chills every time I hear it. Vicki

THE WORLD WAS A MUCH BETTER PLACE,WHEN THIS MAN WAS IN IT! CASE CLOSED... KEEP UM COMING BIG DADDY

Elvis fans stick together like glue

To credit, it's folks like you that keep the King Immortal...

I have said it 10'000 times , them man just oozed complete "COOLNESS" from every pore of his body. I don't think any male born post WW2 that has not looked in the mirror and said " I'm ELVIS" !! Hell i thought i was Elvis till i was about 20 ,i'm 58 now and i have the same connection you feel with him

He sang the roof off that auditorium and sent it into the stratosphere!!!! Watching him perform this beautiful song is very emotional for me. I cry..and stop breathing a few times too. Thank you Ray for a great reaction and thank you Helene for this request....nothing short of Magnificent!!❤️⚡

This is WHY he was the KING, still is.❤

Yes he was very patriotic. This was during the Aloha concert that was watched by over a billion people. You will notice the eagle bedazzled in red white and blue. The two eagle suits were made for the concert. He told the designer, he wanted them to scream America.

The King is the GREATEST of ALL TIME!!!!!!

He was a Sgt in The US Army. He contributed greatly in the building of the Pearl Harbor Memorial.

In the last ‘30s Presley is conducting the whole orquestra, saying when to enter, keeping the pace and ending with a bang. UNIQUE. OUTSTANDING.

The Very, very best! Never get tired of watching.

The one and only Elvis! He was and always will be the Greatest Entertainer of all time! He had everything, His looks, His Voice, His movements, etc. There may be other singers but in my heart there is only Elvis!❤

he was a beautiful man, inside and out, who's voice will NEVER be matched!!!!! thanks Ray.....

The Man, The Music, The Magic! ❤ always!

❤The G.O.A.T. God bless you Ray,thank you, for the great reaction to Elvis,😢TCB⚡🌹💐☝👍🇵🇷🇺🇲🙏🙏🙏

Pure Elvis voice. No auto tune mothings back in the day.

oh my God, the power of this man and his voice unleash very strong emotions in me, with this song goosebumps are guaranteed and tears too. How is it possible to so suffer the absence of someone you've never met. I will love Elvis forever 💖💗 Thanks Ray happy day to you.

His voice just kept getting better the older he got. This gives me goosebumps every time I hear this. He sang with such passion.

The King of music he is the best of the best of the best

Magical is a GREAT description for Elvis! Patriotic is an understatement, lol! Let's not forget the American Eagle on his suit 🇺🇲

"He sings with his face!" Nailed it!

Elvis was proud to be an American and you could feel every ounce of emotion as he sang! I have always loved the powerfulness of this one. This performance is always guaranteed to give chills. I’m not an American but OMG, if this was being played anywhere, I would stand and cheer the USA on …. No hesitation! ❤️💙🇺🇸🇮🇪💚🧡 God bless you Ray, another masterpiece… you are m, hands down, the best on You Tube ☘️

Your besr reaction ever..The man is bigger than life!! He owned and become that song the music.. Elvis commanded everthing when he was on stage!!!!

And right after that last note, he threw that $8000 belt into the audience!!! No lie.

Calm thyself child...that was pure perfection!!!

I 100% know what you're going through. I was so overwhelmed (still am) when I heard this for the first time. That last chorus was freaking supernatural. Elvis pumped his fist to the sky and harnessed power that is beyond this world.

It's Elvis! The best there’s ever been.❤

I was blessed to see him perform this song twice... this same year (just a few months later) & again the very next year. It nearly brought the roof down both times. He & every person on that stage with him gave it their all. And the power they generated flowed over you, around you & through you. I guarantee you that every one of us in that packed arena in Nashville & the second time in Louisville, had goosebumps & tears...many thousands of us. It felt communal. All of us united in our love of country (& love of Elvis too!). Of course the whole show, each time, was terrific. But this song was obviously very special to Elvis, his backup singers & his orchestra. And it was a highlight of each show. I can't emphasize enough how moving & powerful (& loud!) it was. Truly unforgettable. 💙💫💙💫💙💫💙💫💙💫💙💫💙💫💙

This one never fails to bring me to tears ... what a powerful show of emotion and his beautiful voice range ... TCB forever !

Elvis was very patriotic this song always gives me chills wheb he sings this he puts his heart and soul in it..and you can feel the pride he has singing these songs... Elvis was so amazing I just wished he could have lived to be more in my generation I was just 6 yrs old when he died...

This man was perfect in everyway, love him.

I read that through this song specifically ( and generally he did it with his music all his life) - he wanted to unify old divisions of north- south, black-white, secular- faith. I am not even an american, but that open inclusivity in his music is what kills me as i discover him because in India our best music always transcended religion, region, language etc.. He cant be defined or limited. His voice encompasses entire humanity and as if it wasnt enough goes straight to divinity. Just magical.

I'm so happy to see you did American Trilogy! It is so beautiful, jist magical a real show stopper. Elvis should ha e gone to Broadway with his voice. Thank you

This trilogy is the greatest! Yes, Elvis loved his country. Lets also not forget that he had served in the army! Ray, yes this song does give a lot of emotions! I put this song on autoplay! Ray, thats exactly what happens to with me when i hear this song! The ending of the song is my FAVORITE PART!❤

Elvis so loved America!!! It's sucha pity ....it never loved ..him back.

Powerful performance by Elvis. His vocal range is amazing!!

One of my favorite performances of his, and one of his best performances. The ending is so powerful ain’t no one ever going to top this.

Thank you for reacting to this song and your reaction was priceless! The power that Elvis was capable of, it’s just astounding.

He is absolutely amazing I love him just as much now as I did over 50 years ago I love the fact that you Love him as much as I do. In my eyes he will never die. I have been to Graceland 4 times and it is amazing you will love it!

Thank you, thank you. I've been waiting for you to do this one, and you didn't disappoint. This is my absolute favourite Elvis song and i can assure you that it doesn't matter if you hear it once or a million times. His voice and the passion he puts into singing will bring a tear to your eyes and give you goosebumps. This man and his music are literally otherworldly. Gift from god ❤

I always get goosebumps too when listening to this song and watching this performance. It's magical, perfection and iconic all in one! Only Elvis could do it this way.

Omg this was amazing!!!!! 😍😍 Elvis was soo impactful and amazing!! This song gives me the chills everytime I watch him perform it. ☺️

Relvis, i wished people would see the very end of this video because he walks to the end of the stage in front and he takes off his belt and throws it to a fan.

Love love love this reaction 😍 and I love how he has the respect to stand and listen to the other musicians what a man!! I still get goosebumps and I must have watched this a 1000 times 😍 thank you

Elvis is "otherworldly".❤

Elvis. Aaron. Presley is AMERICIA.

Phenomenal... a legend in his own time! This country could certainly use him now! His love of country was as important to him as his music, his fans & family... Beautiful ..💕💕💕💕 Thank you!!

Dude you are the best Elvis reactor anywhere on youtube. Awesome

… Elvis was the first and the best! ... A millennium singer for eternity ... I've never heard a better male voice than Elvis's...amazingly good !! … His performance in Hawaii in 1973 via satellite was the biggest event in music history of the last century! ✨💎✨🕺🏻🕯 Thank you

I adore your reactions. He definitely had something magical about him.

Your reaction was as exciting as this performance. This magical performance was in 1973 called Aloha from Hawaii. It was the first satellite broadcast ever and One billion people watched it. I was just 16 years old & I was "one" of those billion glued to my TV set. It was the first time I ever saw him perform. I became an instant Elvis fan & because he has never dissapointed I am now a forever fan. After watching the new ELVIS 2022 movie I was nostalgic for Elvis. So I revisted Graceland in Dec 2022 excited to see his home at Christmas time & see for the first time the added attractions of the Elvis Museum that contain his Automobile & Costume collections. I couldn't wait to get to his costumes. On a mission I ran immediately to the very suit Elvis is wearing in this broadcast! Its called the Red White & Blue American Eagle (Eagle design across his chest). So in 1973 I saw him perform for 1st time in the suit & in 2022 I stood beside that very suit and had my picture taken. A simple momento that I'll treasure forever.

I cry every time I hear Elvis sing this song. What a great man we lost way too young. So glad to see all you young men giving THE KING the respect he deserves. Be blessed.

First ever satellite Livestream show and who better than Elvis to have the honors. Seen by 1.5 billion fans in 40 countries,.

He is the greatest and always will be

MY LORD THIS SHIZZLE IS EPIC!! RELVIS IS THE ABSOLUTE COOLEST MOST LOVING DUDE!! ELVIS IS BOSS!!! ❤

He walks like a panther 🥰🥰🥰

Elvis had complete control of his band they knew when he looked at them,moved a leg or arm or his eyes.

Elvis would love you. He's probably smiling down from heaven. 🇺🇲

I’m not gonna lie, when I first heard him sing this I thought, “UGG was he glorifying the Civil War“ but then when I did my research I found out that it is this song that covers three sides to the Civil War. The first first being “Dixie,” (The national anthem of the confederacy), then the second verse is the battle hymn of the republic which glorifies Americans fight for freedom and justice, and then the third verse is a beautiful old Negro lullaby. I love that all three sides are represented here in this song. I should’ve never doubted Elvis 😊

you're a classic- I've seen many many Elvis reactions, but this would have to be the best. I've played this song thousands of times but this is the 1st time i almost started crying and throw in the goose-bumps too. Thank you Relvis from melbourne, australia

This was my dad's favourite song he got goosebumps every time he watched this performance

Hi Sir, he sings with all his saoul and body, and his band his outstanding, You've already seen him give scarves to his fans, sometimes you can see him taking off his outfits little stars and throwing them to his fans while continuing to sing. At one of his concerts he asked his jeweler to bring a box with his jewels and gave them to his fans and especially to a child in a wheelchair near the stage. In one of his concerts he threw one of his capes. I learned English to understand his songs. Thank you for your work, I love your reactions and your humor. To me you are Raylvis and I am sure he must be enjoying watching you from up there. Peace and love to all of you ❤❤❤

Elvis had the most beautiful voice and had so much sex appeal with all his other everthing.

The Elvis magic will never die. He was totally a one off.🥰🥰

Elvis … a gift from God.❤️

This, sir, is my all-time favorite song of any song ever in my life, with my all-time favorite singer, ever in my life greatness, pure greatness

Goosies ! Every time I hear this!! I love that you let your reaction out with as much passion as Elvis is singing it! Thank you !! ❤🤸🏻‍♀

The drip of sweat off his nose…..🇺🇸✌🏻

Back in 1973 my uncle bought the biggest TV he could get and took it to my granny's house and family and friends came over to watch the king. TX stay well and groovy my friend

Elvis was not only a singer but also a true musician

This song will touch your soul and bring tears to your eyes ,if you've never felt a deep feeling for any of his songs,this one will

Michael Jackson copied many things from elvis.the standing on his tipple toes the wardrobe, and the goldbelt, glasses.and look where it took him to stardom.godbless.

Kept thinking….”Wait for it. Wait for it, Relvis.” Always one of my favourites. Terrific reaction!.🤩

This is one of my favorite Elvis songs!! ❤Thank you Ray for loving Elvis like all of us here❤️

I have loved Elvis for 67 years Ray. Over the years I bought all his albums, watched all his movies, and documentaries over and over Seen millions of pictures, read many books ,watched drama docus about him Seen all I thoght there was to see about him. I live in the UK I'm not rich so never got to see him perform live sadly ( partly Cos of the 'douche bag manager') But my son told me about your youtube site only a few days ago 27th October 2023 to be exact.Watching your reaction to some of the best loved Elvis songs,andvtherecare hubdreds more still, has brought fresh insights to me. I love how you love him and See him for who he was,how great he was.What acdiamobdcwe had in our midst Thank you Ray I also hope you are recovering well after your surgery. Bless you for loving Elvis ❤

Towards the end of this concert he takes off his belt and hands it to someone in the audience. On the last song he puts on his cape and at the end flings it out into the audience and someone hands him a crown and the King walks around the stage holding his crown, EPIC!!!
