This is an iconic performance! Elvis is so fabulous-in tune with every instrument, voice and feeling in the song. I have loved Elvis my whole life. His voice is one of a kind, a gift from God. Elvis has been used, misunderstood and abused since his career began. People have used him to push their own agendas, when all Elvis wanted to do was use his gift to support his family, make people happy, and have them experience the presence of God through his music. Unfortunately, people using him continues today-but true Elvis fans know his talent and his love. He was not a god, he was a man, but he developed his talent to a very high level of skillfulness and it was coupled with his passionate personality, humor, charm, humility and love for his fans which caused him to be loved and admired around the world.

A brother once said "if more people would be like Elvis, the world would be a better place." I guess he's right. ⚡

I have watched Elvis sing this song probably at least a hundred times, and it still gives me goosebumps, and makes me cry! It's amazing that 46 years after he left us, he still sends "love" throughout the world! I always look forward to your reactions, you're really good at it!

I met Elvis in 1975 and again in 1977. Such an Inconic moment. His personal assistant and I are best of friends now. I saw Elvis 8 times in concert from 1974-77

There will never be another with that level of fame in a world where social media and cell phones didn't exist. He's still the most famous man of all time

This concert was shown around the world via satellite. 1.5 billion people, a quarter of the earth's population at the time sat in front of their TVs to watch him sing. There wasn't any watching it later or recording it at that time. You stopped what you were doing to get home to make sure you caught it. I was around then. That's what people were talking about. Getting home to watch Elvis. He was a household name.

Dude, don't close your eyes or turn your head away from him. You will miss little moves that he does. He is unpredictable when he performs on the stage. ❤

This whole Aloha concert is phenomenal. This particular song is three in one (so trilogy) - two American anthems, one representing the south (Dixie) and one the north (Battle Hymn of the Republic), plus a lullaby related to African/American spirituals (All my trials). So once again Elvis is including everyone, and his jumpsuit is covered in American eagles because this show was beamed across the world via satellite and reached over a billion people in 1973. I must have seen this performance hundreds of times now but it never fails to tug at the heartstrings. Elvis forever ❤

When Elvis ramps up at the end with the horns feels like what you'd hear entering HEAVEN 🙏😇

Elvis was and will always be the best

This is synonymous with Elvis and brings chills and tears every single time. He's so very missed. ❤

no one tells a story with their voice better than Elvis

Wasn't Elvis just incredible! That voice is just from another world! His voice did get better and better! He was always working on his vocal ability! "Prince From Another Planet"!!! Love your live reactions to Elvis! Your facial expressions are the greatest! King Creole movie is a must watch! His acting in it is superb! You're my favorite Elvis reactor! You're not alone in newly discovering Elvis talents! Ignore the haters! ❤

Heard this for the first time almost 50 years ago. It still gives me chills and tons of tears. He will always be the very best

I love the fact that Elvis wasn't ashamed or embarrassed to cry in front of the people. He cried on a few songs although most people want to call it sweat.

Elvis is the full package❤❤ there will never ever be an entertainer like my beloved EP!! I was only 10 yrs old when I first heard him and loved him from the start and...... that love fir this amazing man never stopped❤❤❤EP forever ( I am 77 now)

All my trials soon will be over! Elvis was loaned to us for such a short time and then called home. Elvis was a man without faults and through out his life he searched for the Lord

Elvis didn't just sing a song, he sang a song with his heart and soul ! Their is know one that can compare with him !

An emotional performance by the King. American Trilogy tells the story of the South, Dixie the North Glory Hallaluah and All My Trials a African American Spiritual.The story of the Civil War. The instrument you liked is the flute. As always a heartfelt reaction ❤

I strongly believe this was the single greatest live performance of all time.

This was the story of the American Civil War...just in case you were unaware! Only ELVIS could do this in such a remarkable wsy! He was, is, and always will be the KING of ROCK and ROLL! I was there! This was the first Concert to be televised around the World! Over 1.5 Billion people tuned in to watch it! ❤

CV, this platform NEEDS good people like you. Without you and other people presenting the solid soul of such a good man, the disgusting rumours and lies will remain unchallenged. Whether someone likes Elvis or not is unimportant, but for every person who bothers to delve deeper into who he was and what he stood for, it diminishes that hatred. Sometimes, one rain drop at a time is enough to erode a mountain.

Now that was a performance, I’ve always loved this, He’s the Greatest!!! ⚡️🔥⚡️

Did you feel it ,the passion ,the emotion ,and those very powerful vocals ,at the end ,this is what Elvis does to us ,makes us feel it thru our heart ,and soul

I have watched this magnificent performance so many times and each time I listen it's like hearing it for the first time. Yes... it had EVERYTHING. To this fan he looked like royalty and sang like the king he was and remains ( to many of us). Thank you for reacting to this epic performance. 🌻

One of my absolute favorites! Still brings tears to my eyes when I listen. I am so thankful to be able to see people listen and see to him perform live in his concert footage, and be blown away by his voice, performance and interactions with his band and fans❤. Just when you thought you couldn't get more surprised by him, BAM!, he did it again! Awesome reaction! Thank you so much. Would love to see more Elvis reactions from you in the future.

You just witnessed THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER THIS WORLD WILL EVER SEE!!!!! Elvis had it all the looks, moves, voice power control, passion emotion and charisma like no other. When Elvis sang you didn't just hear him you felt him as he touched your very soul., NO auto tune NO pitch correction just pure PERFECTION. Elvis was like a God among men a gift to us all from GOD himself. His voice was like magic and will never be matched. Elvis gave his all to what meant the most to him HIS FANS!!! Even though he didn't like to be called THE KING as he said there was only 1 King and that was |God. Long live The King .

This performance is iconic. Elvis , a proud patriot, singing across the planet , conscious that he is representing his country, dressed in his beautiful Eagle Suit that he commissioned to emphasise America, shining with his heart and soul. But this time I was enjoying watching your face!! So expressive and your body language spoke volumes. We could see you getting chills and see the awe in your eyes. Lovely reaction yet again, you can now understand why people adored Elvis. Not only gifted in everything musical but also a generous, kind and charismatic humanitarian who wanted to make people happy. He really thought he hadn’t achieved anything memorable with his life and would be forgotten! Well here we are now, nearly 5 decades after his death, with people like you,CV, keeping him relevant and introducing new generations to Elvis. Thank you so much. 🙏👌💕🕺

The world misses you Elvis ❤️ 😢 ♥️ 💙 💔

David wasn't wrong! That was a brilliant reaction! Thank you both!💚☀️

Cv, I was like you when it came to Elvis back in my day. He made you feel so much in his songs. Seeing him live, I could not explain, beyond words. The passion he had, the love for his fans. Elvis will always be my number 1 🎸🎤❤ Thank you for another Elvis reaction 😊

it raises every hair on your body... the flute is amazing, yes.. and I love seeing how much pride and pleasure he takes in his band.. makes me smile every time.

This Aloha from Hawaii was the first time all satellites were hooked together around the world and broadcasted Elvis show to every continent. Was estimated 1.5 billion people saw this performance. Never been another one like it. He was perfection. Love Elvis. ❤ Thank you for your good comments.

This is 3 songs combined: Dixieland for the south, Battle Hymn of the Republic for the north, and All My Trials from the Bahamas. First combined into a “trilogy” by the great songwriter Mickey Newbury.

That’s a flute. Really beautiful. Elvis brings up all the emotions. 😂😂😂💜💜💜

You can watch this a thousand times & still want more !!! Love & miss you Elvis 💞

That was a Flute. Elvis loved to share the spot light with his band & back up singers. He had a voice straight from Heaven. Watching documentaries about him will help to understand him better. He sang from his heart. At Sun Studio in Memphis, he paid $4 to record a record, a birthday gift for his mother. Side "A" is called "My Happiness." "You could hear Elvis at the age of 18; he doesn't want to mess up," said Marchese. "This is his one take to do this and he wanted it to be perfect." Someone at the studio copied it & played it on the radio & the rest is history.

Just Beautiful. There will never be another artist like Elvis. You know No Autotune just a great great voice 😊

Sae this live 1973 both Hawaii, later in person Atlanta concert 1973! That was 60 years agi, and it still AMAZES me! Love, love, loves your reactions! YOU HONESTLY GET ELVIS❤❤❤

NO ONE CAN SING THIS SONG,ONLY ELVIS. KING OF ROCK AND ROLL.

CV thank you for playing Elvis songs. Loved Elvis since I was 13 no one like him. Thank you thank you for introducing him to a new generation. All the negativity around this great man is very unfair. ❤❤❤

There will never be another like him - the King of Rock and Roll and the King of kindness!

A God-given gift of talent.

In 1973 there were 4.5 Billion people on Earth and 1.5 Billion people worldwide saw this Satellite concerts. That's 1 of every 3 people on Earth saw the concert. More than the freaking moon landing by 600 million!!! How Insane is said that CV ?? BTW this was supposedly when he wasn't at his most popular.

My FAAAAAAAAVORITE!!!!! This song is fantastic!!! Nothing like it! Thank you for the reaction 😢❤😢❤💙💙💙 Much appreciated❣

Elvis loved his gospel music above all else ..he sang with his heart and soul...

Thank you for loving Elvis the way true Elvis Loyal Fans do!!! We love YOU and your reactions! Watch all 33 Elvis movies. I have them all! And another thing . The Elvis haters are insanely Jealous of Elvis. They will stop at nothing to bring him down and Slander him endlessly. Most of what they spew are downright lies. These people are Evil and that includes Elvis’ Xwife. She has probably done more damage to Elvis than any other person period.

Such a fitting song for Elvis! He was born and lived in Dixieland! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

You have just touched the surface of Elvis recordings as he recorded over 800 records. You can never go wrong with this music. Another one that I love is the live version in Vegas of Make The World Go Away.

❤WOW is the only word!!!!! Elvis shows his talented band and Elvis top performer😊

Can you imagine being in a stadium listening to this live? This is greatness.

Such a heartfelt reaction. We all feel the same way, me too, even after I've watched this vid many times! His voice is phenomenal! His stage presence is tangible. Elvis is the GOAT in music! More Elvis please! 🔥🎙🎶⚡👍

The song really represents the three "actors" in the Civil War--the South/Confederacy (Dixie), the North/Union (Battle Hymn), and the enslaved people (with that haunting spiritual). Elvis heard this and was enthralled by how the three stories are represented by the trilogy and how well the songs fit together. It's phenomenal. Elvis is phenomenal. Still and always....❤

This man was one of a kind ... beautiful both inside and out ! TCB forever !

Yes Sir, my favorite performance of all time. American trilogy. Aloha. Can’t wait to hear your reaction.

I grew up in the 60’s watching Elvis movies, and distantly aware of his 50’s explosion. I had watched the 1968 special, and the “Elvis on Tour” movie. I loved 68, the tour movie actually confused me. When I laid on my sister’s living room floor, and watched this special, it all came together! The next year we went to see him in concert. Elvis’s career was a process in multiple phases. This performance was probably his crescendo!❤️ I could go on and on. Look back at his early days, move forward, and see how he evolved. Thank you for sharing!

Elvis has united people in their love for his wonderful singing.When I get to heaven I hope he is singing for the Lord there like he did down here.

How can you beat this as a live musical performance. Elvis is definitely one of the Goats of Music and performances. He basically stands on his own in his category. If you tried to challenge him for superiority he always try to out perform the best of the best.

Elvis had a way of making the songs come to life. Songs of that time are stories and he brought them to life.

This is an anthem ❤

Your Elvis reactions are just the best. Your words are so touching and sincere, they make me smile and laugh and cry. I love how you "get" and appreciate this wonderful man. He was a loving, humble, kind and generous soul who brought so many people together in his lifetime and is still doing it today. Love is what we all thrive on and Elvis gives us love with his whole being. His voice lifts me up and makes me want to be like him. Thanks so much for these moments with you and letting us be with you as you discover him.❤❤❤

Better late to Elvis than never. 😊 His gospel albums are incredible. Welcome with love.

Such an incredible performance from Elvis no one could perform like him its why he's the goat 🐐 it was the flute which is beautiful great reaction thank you it gets me every time only Elvis can affect you like that he was amazing he was cool totally 😊😊😊

There's no better than this man! If I try to listen someone else it is allways the same: Back to Elvis! There is no better!!!♥️🇫🇮

everytime i must to say to myself: just breathe, breathe cause it is so emotional 👋✌👌

Elvis delivers a message with anything he sends.

Elvis will always be the GOAT. Thank you for appreciating Elvis, and his fans. God sent Elvis to SiNG and allow us to feel God's touch, through Elvis ❤ Again, Thank You.

This went around the world at the same time in most countries. He gave all the money he made from this concert to charity. He did hundreds of concerts for charity is estate still gives

Elvis was The Best Ever!!!

INFO on THAT RAMP from the STAGE: Producer/director Marty Pasetta told Parker (Elvis' manager) that 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. If you watch him do "Welcome To My World" you will see his interaction w-the audience -- just wonderful. The instrument was a flute. Trilogy is a medley of three uniquely American pieces: “Dixie,” (dixie are the states down south in the U.S.); “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” a marching hymn of the Union Army during the American Civil War; and “All My Trials,” a Bahamian (people of the Bahamas) lullaby related to African American spirituals sung by protesting folksingers of the 1950s.

This performance is magnificent! Makes me cry every time. His voice and the orchestra. His movements and the control over the entire thing is absolutely amazing!! ❤️❤️

Missed you man, what a great one, this show was a benefit for Cancer. He was so generous. this was seen around the world, over 2 billion tuned in to watch it. this song was about the civil war in America. The North and the South, there is also a little of a black spiritual in it. He loved doing it so much. He felt this one. he was executive producer and he controlled every note. I watched it on tv. What a man, what a voice, what beautiful human. thank you CV, you da man.😍

Feel the passion and emotion of his voice. Incredible. Love love your reaction. More power to you. More Elvis please 💕💕💕💕

Goosebumps hearing this. His vocal range is crazy

How can anyone not love this man's voice.. its just everything.. He was and still is the King.. who can come close ?? The passion.. the control.. the charisma.. just amazing

I don’t think he ever breathes!! Effortlessly Amazing!! I believe God chose Elvis as a vessel for us to hear the voice of God. I like, even love other artists; but, Elvis’ voice is the only voice that transcends me. Emotionally, heals me in so many ways. Friendly Reminder, Christmas at Graceland is tonight.

I feel you brother. It is beautifully emotional. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Love this one Elvis put a lot of emotion behind this performance gives goosebumps

… There are many good singers... but ELVIS is the „💎“ Diamond among them!! His charisma is still unsurpassed to this day!! … He is a Singer for eternity !! 🕺🏻🕯 Thank you

Love your reactions so touching and yes Elvis Presley is still doing what he always wanted to do bring people of all walks of life together in some way. 💙❤💯🙏

Another great reaction, brother. I couldn't agree more. All those things you mentioned makes Elvis' shows absolute must-see spectacles. I wish I was around. I was 9 when he died. I couldn't figure out what the big deal was. It was like the world stopped for a few days. It took me a long time to understand what an impact this man had on the world - and now thanks to tech, we're sitting here watching his greatness together. I believe that's one of the biggest problems we have nowadays - There is no Elvis, no MJ, Beatles, Zep, on and on and on. No talented people making music that all people can relate to, and feel a connection to - just like right now! ✌❤

Yep, you get Elvis. He's interpretation lyrics, music and emotions is out of this world.

Welcome to the world of Elvis :). I've been a fan for 62 years.

NO WORDS ❤ HIS VOICE😢😢😢😢 THANK YOU GOD FOR THIS MEN

So glad you found how wonderful Elvis is.

Been waiting on this one. Glory, glory hallelujah !

No matter how many times I hear this I get goosebumps everytime. I still dig your reactions❤

He was an incredible human being.

2023 and still the GOAT

Dude everytime I see this version !. It wakens me up!!. Makes you feel alive. Elvis had soul!!. From the arrangement to the vocals. The professional musicians. And Elvis' powerful vocals. More proof that Elvis was is and will continue to entertain and stir the soul.

Chills every time!❤️

Thank you for a great reaction

Elvis could belt it out like no one else!!!

This song is Elvis all I can say amazing Thank u God and Elvis we love you so much !!!

Songs meant something! And Elvis delivered! Thanks CVTECK1!

Thank you so much for giving Elvis respect ❤

I’m 55 years old and I was 8 years old in 1977 and Elvis died in August and my father died in December. That following year I spent probably the first 4-6 months listening to this song on a 33 LP over and over and over because it gave me some sort of comfort and peace that little boy was needing at that time to help me understand the loss of my father. AND still to this very day when I hear this song I still get that feeling of comfort in my soul and heart. It’s so powerful and beautiful on so many levels!

Elvis was the most amazing singer of all time. He was also an amazing human being. He was generous, unpretentious, humble, spiritual, and treated everyone with respect, and then there's the amazing music and concerts and fun movies he left us. The King Forever Reigns ❤❤❤

I remember watching this MANY years ago when it first aired, when you seen the crowd there was people there like in their sixties and seventies, fifties all the way to grade school kids. The range of fans this man attracted was just mind boggling. To give you a glimpse how popular and well loved this man was around the world, I will tell you a story a friend of mine told me about Elvis. He was my parents generation and had retired from the Air Force and I was in the Army at the time (Now I'm retired from the Army) but during the fifties and sixties he literally went all over the world (Except Europe) put in communication centers for the Air Force. He said he was blown away when he went into some of the most remotest villages you could imagine in Africa and the people in those villages probably could not even tell you who the leader of their country was, but inside those mud and grass huts hung pictures of Elvis Presley. He said even decades later it still blew his mind when he thought about it, even in the deepest part of Africa, they knew who Elvis was. I know in the late seventies I was in Germany doing training and any building you went in that had a jukebox, Elvis was the ONLY American on those jukeboxes, the German people adored the man. Thank God the videos have been preserved where a whole new generation can see for themselves just how GREAT an entertainer Elvis truly was.

I love many songs of all kinds, but this song by Elvis is my all time fav.
