He's not trying to match the drummer, he's having a constant conversation with the drummer (Ronnie Tutt) he was in complete control of everything that happened on that stage. Welcome to the fan club. Glad you liked it. ❤

Nobody performs like Elvis..And if you try, you look like a fool...Elvis just looked cool.

Elvis is not following the drums. The drummer is following him. His drummers Ronnie Tutt said he had to keep his eyes on Elvis every minute because he did not know where he might go next. Elvis’s raised hand in the middle of the he song or his looking back at the band are all his ways of directing the the band. I saw him twice in concert during this time period. It was memorizing both times.

Too bad you can only like once😅🤪👌❤️ Never understood how so many people still claim they don’t like him. How can you not?🤷‍♂️

Without scrolling thru all the comments, I’m sure others agree that Elvis wasn’t just a singer, he was a performer, an entertainer… great reaction!

He didn't just sing songs ... he felt every note of them in his body ! This man was born to entertain ... TCB forever !

There was nothing contrived or choreographed in Elvis's performances, it all came naturally, it came from deep in his soul.

He’s not stretching, he’s doing his Karate moves. He was a blank belt❤

Elvis Presley was the director he never followed the drums. The drums followed him, the drummer carefully watched every move he made. That was the deal. And Elvis was an entertainer. Elvis always felt that if you wanted to hear him sing and just stand there, you can listen to his records. So when he was on stage, he not only song but he performed. That's what made him the king.

Elvis was larger than life. There will never be another like him.

Elvis was an 8th degree black belt in karate and he would incorporate those moves on stage.

His voice.. God given talent.

Elvis was in his prime! One of the of his best performances!!

No one will ever come close to Elvis’s greatness ❤

His drummer was awesome....He would go back and forth with him

Elvis was such a masculine man, he drove all the ladies crazy. I can't take my eyes off of him, there is a reason he is such a legend.He had everything voice, talent looks. thank you so much for your great reaction.

one word says it all, ELVIS !

Elvis was and will always be the best

When Elvis would come out on the stage. He was like a cat. he was all over that stage!!!! Elvis Loved the Ladies and we Loved him and still do

Great reaction was great! Elvis was a one of a kind, and God only created one. THE 👑 KING ⚡️👍🙏🇺🇸🎤🎸🎶🎹🔥

Elvis signals the drummer

Yes, His band LOVED him. They spoke of him years after his death with nothing but love and adoration. Great Reaction!!

Oh that smile!!!

There are many good singers... but ELVIS is the 💎 "Diamond" among them!! 🕺🏻🕯 Thank you

Thank you,so much for your reaction beautiful God,bless you, ❤The G.O.A.T. TCB⚡🥰❤🙏

“What Now My Love” Elvis Aloha from Hawaii 1973. Love watching you react to Elvis

Happy Birthday to the KING.. and for the first time in my social media life I'm giving a thumbs down.. I don't like anyone making fun of Elvis..

This is the why he was the one and only Elvis,!!!❤❤He did Martial Arts and used this in his acts❤,,!!!

Elvis was a consummate entertainer. He was often spontaneous and added things to his performances, so his band and backing singers had to watch him like hawks to keep up with him. So happy you have now discovered the reality behind the Legend that is Elvis. More please. 🙏👌💕🕺

The best performer ever there will never be a better entertainer..he and his band were Like one

So glad you're liking what you hear..you'll never be disappointed watching Elvis! I have a request..Just Pretend Vegas 1970. Thanks ✌️

Elvis was a black belt,he like to put his moves into his danceing

The King 👑

He Allowed The World To See Himself. Whom He Really Loved

In the ghetto , polk salads Annie✌️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

You have to listen to Martin Luther king tribute if I can dream and a song that is still so relevant today in the ghetto

He had it all voice movement and showmanship and killer looks.

Wow, what a great reaction. Elvis loved everybody and grew up poor in a Ghetto in Mississippi, in 1935, he went to a black church and just listened to the wonderful gospel. He actually wanted to be a gospel singer especially in a quartet. He was a true believer and used gospel to sing after his two shows a night in Vegas. He hired his childhood idol gospel singer DJ Sumner and his group the Stamps when he went to Vegas. He also hired the Black group of singings called the sweet Inspirations who had sung with Aretha and other great gospel singers. He was one of the first white artist to hire black backup in one of the most racial charged era's of history. He was a financial supporter of Dr. Martin Luther King" and dedicated his song, "If I Can Dream" to Dr. King, which was the ending to the show in his comeback tv special in 1968. when I was a teenager in the 50's white stations would not play black artists till Elvis changed that. He promoted the careers of both James Brown and Jackie Wilson, in fact when he died James sat by his casket at the funeral. I appreciate your comments about Elvis, he was the real deal. Thanks and Be Blessed🥰

Elvis's long time drummer here , Ronnie Tutt, likened playing for Elvis to " playing for a stripper " ... " you had to follow every move "

OMG.. if you are not captivated from the first note.. or those cheekbones.. Lord knows he died when I was a baby.. but My Mama raised me on him.. a sexy AF man that could sing anything.. If you don't love his talent.. have no use for you. True talent in my lifetime... Amazing talent.. Elvis and Michael.

There aren't enough superlatives to describe Elvis Presley.Never mind KING he was the Master of thr Universe.

Elvis Presley was a legend and he was a wonderful person who loved all people he had a beautiful soul and charisma like no other I love him and miss him

Please more Elvis. It's an amazing journey you will never get over. You should do one Elvis reaction a week at least. 😃

I like how you really pay attention to what you’re watching. Very observant. Please keep the Elvis coming. He was fire

Wow

How great thou art by Elvis shows how he arranges a well-known gospel song to his liking, and how much he enjoys JD Sumner’s part in it.

I LOVE seeing people discover the Elvis many of us have loved for decades. You should check out his early catalog and the 68 comeback special. Thank you for taking time to learn what we all know... there will never be another ELVIS ❤

ELVIS SOOO HANDSOME ♥️♥️♥️

Great reaction to this one of a kind performance by the KING. God made no mistakes when he created this song singing soul cat.👍🙏🔥👑⚡️🎸🎤🎶🇺🇸🤘

I'm starting to like your Elvis reactions a whole lot, keep them coming.👌

Nice guy, Thanks very much man. You will really love Elvis, even aside from his music. the kind of man he was for charity. Second to none. He was great towards the black community. You can find that on KZfaq. he made 31 films and concerts and documentaries. Early shows from the 50s and 70s.

This song was written especially for him and on the record the song is sung a bit slower. It was # 1 for a long time. But you’re right, he had to be a showman on stage and one needs to make the audience stay interested. Thank you for this. I had a big smile on my face at Elvis and at your reaction. You seem very authentic Sir. God bless. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🌹🌹🎸🕺🏻🎸🕺🏻🎤🎤

Thanks for your reviews. Elvis and the band were incredible ❤

"If I Can Dream", "What Now My Love", and "Just Pretend" should definitely be on the list to checkout!

Elvis the ultimate performer just awesome he was in sync with the drummer he was in total control with his band yes wow indeed great reaction thank you carry on doing Elvis he'll always amaze you Just pretend Polk salad Annie In the ghetto and Walk a mile in my shoes he recorded over 700 😊😊

This was always my favorite elvis song and i love how he really shows off his moves and you cam see how he loves to joke around with his band members and how he is in full control he sounds so awesome id would have given anything to be in that audience watching him perform this i bet it was absolutely amazing Another great reaction

No. He’s directing the drums. He is always, always in control of everything on that stage. Check out American Trilogy in Aloha from Hawaii which was simultaneously aired all over the world. Just another first. Also, What Now my Live, My Way. Then of course there’s the 68 special, they called it the comeback special because he’d been making all those movies for so long and he was finally coming back to the people. There’s so many. In the Ghetto, If I Can Dream, his gospel, his country and the list goes on and on and on

You See He Loved ❤❤❤Black Women

Thank you so much for this wonderful reaction. So fun to see someone really "get it" after watching Elvis and his incomparable performances. There has never been anyone like him before or after. He was so amazing and the more you learn about the man, his generosity, his kindness, his humanity and how humble he was the more you love him.❤❤❤

Blown away is what I thought you'd say!

This was #1 in 1969; unfortunately it was his last # 1!😢 He "made the charts"; but,no #1

Duelling with Ronnie on the drums ❤ "He was a bundle of energy set to music and that echo will never die" quote from Rev Brewster, and so true. Bridge Over Troubled Water 1970 please 😊

Can you please check out ** ( Elvis and the black community part 1&2 that echo will never die ) this will answer some of your questions about Elvis and learn what he went through Also ** Elvis Presley ( King Of Kindness) Gospel songs ** 1972 live ( How Great Thou Art 2:48 ) light blue outfit ** 1957 live on the Ed Sullivan Show ( Peace In The Valley 2:37 ) ** 68 comeback special live ( If I Can Dream ) white suit

Ohne Worte 🙏🙏🇺🇸🇩🇪🇺🇸Elvis ❤️❤️❤️TCB

This is one of my favorite performances s because of some of the reasons you just said. also reason is he just seemed comfortable and happy doing what he loved so much. I love this reaction and I love him. I used to listen to him when I was younger, and stopped for quite a while, and went back, listening to him again, remembering how great of a voice he had, and how great of a performer he was. The reason why I started listening to him again is because of reactions like this. I love how great the reactions are from so many. He definitely was one of a kind. We will always love him and his talent

"I get it now" Yep, all of us could watch him sing the same 6 words and dance for 17 hours, and we would love it and want more. Welcome to the magic of the King....

The ultimate showman 😍

When Elvis went down on his knee was letting everybody know. That was the calm before the storm. LOL!

Thats the King.

This was great! Try Polk Salad Annie from 1970 from Elvis, you will not be disappointed!

i love you and i love watching your elvis journey! pls do "just pretend" live vegas 1970 same yr and stage as the one you just watched ronnie tutt elvis' drummer was his on stage heartbeat and compass they truly had a symbiotic relationship on stage thank you ✿♡

Elvis was a human tunefork 😂😂😂❤

The look in your eye…… you caught the Elvis bug! Love it! Welcome aboard….. the gift that keeps on giving. ❤

I’m amazed!!! That exactly was what he and his drummer were doing !!😂

I love this performance! Live even better. The 'stretching' came from karate. He loved kenpo karate. These moves are really hard to do, even without singing.😅 Thank you so much for diving into his legacy!💚☀️ My favourite song, at the moment, is *I'm leaving* from 1971. Btw, he also sang beautiful gospel and spirituals.

Watch His Eyes.

Actually the Drummer Ronnie Tutt had to watch Elvis' moves and drum to his moves! Ronnie Tutt once said," Following Elvis was like following a marble on a warped floor!"

Oh my days indeed! Keep them coming. Maybe you find the time to react to American Trilogy, Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite '73, one of my favorites (among hundreds of favorites from the King ❤👑🥰)

Loved your reaction! I love your laugh and giggle! I grew up in an Elvis household. My dad looked like Elvis. He always had Elvis playing on 8 track or cassette. I woke up every Sunday morning to dad making breakfast and jamming out and singing whatever Elvis song that was playing! Elvis is the background music to my entire life! I think it is super cool to see more and more people go down the Elvis rabbit hole! Enjoy it! It's a great place to be!!!

Great reaction. He was a black belt in karate.

Oh, you have only just touched on the very tip of the iceberg. You have a very long way to go down this particular rabbit hole. I cannot think of a single song that Elvis sings that isn’t top notch. And he’s very athletic ….He has a Black Belt to 8th Degree in Karate & he uses karate to train with every day in order to keep himself very fit. Sadly from 1974, Elvis’ health starts going downhill, & by August 1977 at the age of 42, he is gone ….. Gone way too soon, but never forgotten. Long term fan since the mid-1960s & still think there is no-one who can beat this wonderful human being. Great Reaction.

Yes that smile!! He also has Cherokee in his blood from his mother !ll. Thus the cheek bones!!!!

His first television appearance would not allow him to be filmed from the waist down. The Ed Sullivan Show was the name of the show. My older brother was a huge Elvis fan when I was a child.

Every Elvis song is an event in itself. The band and the vocals are in full tune with Elvis and Elvis with them, it's as if they were one. I had the opportunity to see Elvis' band performing here in Brazil and interacting with Elvis on the screen, it seemed like Elvis was there playing with them, very magical

He’s beautiful!

He had his black belt in karate and used those moves on stage for fun with the music. Yes. He surely was a character to enjoy and bring a smile to our faces. 😂😂❤❤

Great Reaction 👍🙏

Well done 😀

I really love your reaction❤❤❤

❤Elvis ❤ he was into karate and did alot of moves on stage !!

I really like the way u get Elivis,rember no auto tune❤❤❤

He was a black belt, 8th Dan in Karate.. that is his moves he's doing. The drummer was watching him .. he wasn't trying to match the drummer.

Love your reaction.❤

GOAT

Thanks for making me smile. You get it too.!!!!!!😊

Elvis was a 6th degree Red Belt

I've watched about thirty different reaction videos on this. NOBODY gets the part in the beginning where he sings, "So if an old friend I know (and then he tilts his head down for a half a second and shields his mouth for the camera and quietly sings "Shove It Up Your Nose") drops by to say hello/ Would I still see suspicion in your eyes". So if an old friend I know, shove it up your nose, stops by to say hello.

Elvis worked constantly with his talented band and singers so that they performed seamlessly and perfectly as one tight but flexible unit. The drummer was matching Elvis, not the other way around. The band had to always be alert to what Elvis was doing on stage because he never performed the same way twice. Elvis was an 8th degree karate black belt and was in peak shape in 1970. Unfortunately, drugs for energy and other ones for sleep, along with lifestyle and excessive pressure to perform, helped ruin his health within a few years. Elvis thought the drugs were okay because they were prescribed by a doctor (but unethically).

Hello from Tennessee I am new to your channel and I absolutely love your reactions to Elvis please do What Now My Love, Just Pretend and I'll Remember You just a few you are going to love this rabbit hole keep up the good work baby
