I was there the day before in Cincinnati and his voice was as powerful as ever, yes I could tell he wasn't well but he gave his all. RIP Elvis, you will never be forgotten.

No matter how sick he was and his age, Elvis's voice was forever there. A true pro to the end.

May Elvis be singing in God's choir ❤️🥰

The song "Can't Help Falling in Love With You", which he sang at the closing of this concert, is almost the last proud roar of a wounded lion. It was definitely a very passionate and powerful signing.

These pictures are sad to look at but also very special because they are from his last performance. His fans all over this world agree 💯 with your statement that he was the greatest talent and such a sweet person. Thank you for always keeping his memory alive for future generations. He may have thought no one would remember him but we know different. We miss you Elvis and will not let you be forgotten. Thank you for giving so much of yourself to us.❤

You can see how much Elvis loved his dad and how proud Vernon was of his only son.

❤Elvis Presley is a legend. That's a fact 💯 He never be forgotten long to live the king ❤❤❤❤

Elvis was and always will be the best and I really don’t think there’s any doubt about that he had the best voice of anyone that ever held a microphone long live Elvis the best

So thankful I got to witness the beginning of this amazing man's life. I was on the way home when the news of his death came on the car radio and it shocked me to the core. I'd seen him perform in Austin on March 28th, he looked good, sounded fantastic. He'll be remembered as long as there's music. 💔👑⚡

One SAD day,hes IRRAPLACEABLE❤

I saw Elvis at the Chicago Stadium In May of 1977.His voice was so strong you could feel the floor vibrate during one song ,I couldn't believe it!He had them turn on the house lights to see the fans and me and my girlfriends were jumping up and down and waving and yelling Elvis!I don't know if he saw us we're lucky we didn't fall over the railings!I am so grateful I finally got to see Elvis but sad because i didn't know that would be my last chance to see him again.😢❤😢

:( i love him.

Even with everything he endured, only 42 years old, the people that used him like Priscilla, Col Parker, others, the bad decisions of his manager, etc, He Accomplished so much, did so many first, changed the culture and music forever, He will never be forgotten. I only wish he had told his story, his autobiography. His truth. Not to be told by others and certainly not the ExWife (only married maybe 5 years). Too one sided. Too bad someone would do a real documentary on him, early life, how he changed the culture and broke race barriers, helped the bkack community, his vocal ability ( so many genres, rock, country, r&b, gospel, rockabilly, ballads and contemporary music), fashion on and off stage, dance moves, charisma and stage presence. His kindness and generosity, his military service. His real hereditary illnesses. How he influenced all who came after him. So much more of this man than his addiction, and weight.

If Indianapolis city officials simply renovated the arena instead of tearing it down, thousands of fans would be making an annual pilgrimage to watch the '77 CBS Special on a big screen in that very arena and local businesses would be making mint. Mindless.

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE ELVIS,,, REGARDLESS OF WHAT PEOPLE SAY GOOD OR BAD....he was a human just like us,we all have flaws,emotions and needs LOVE YOU ELVIS ❤️💋❤️💋❤️

I remember while watching the CBS special thinking how tired and worn he looked. Five years earlier, seeing him in person (Nov '72), I saw him near his peak physical shape as he was two months away from the Aloha from Hawaii Satellite Special. From my view, the differences of his performances from these two different 70s concerts are best described as this: 1972 I saw a man working hard to deliver his best, and boy did he deliver. 1977 I saw a man worked over, delivering the best he could possibly give. Elvis always gave the best that he could.

A true legend...I will always love Elvis ❤❤

He really put on a fantastic show that night in Indianapolis! I'll be listening to the entire show this evening, hopefully! He will forever be, the King of Rock and Roll! And there will never be another like him!⚡👑🎸🙏 You said everything beautifully David! I feel the same!

Could tell he was not well😢 He gave his all to his fans even when not feeling well❤ Think he took those drugs just so he could get on that stage and pay all the people that he loved ! He was a loyal person to his loved ones❤❤❤❤

I have posters of promotions for his August shows in 1977 and it still breaks my heart, the fact that Elvis wasn’t able to make it kills me but I am grateful that EP has made his mark on the world and I’m grateful that we have all these footages it puts me in a good place to hear his music it sorta heals me.

David I was 17years old that year when Elvis died .it was a big shock for me I remember hearing nothing but Elvis radio tribute shoes for a whole week and nothing but tv reports all week back then their were only three network's back then and they were all covering Elvis .I was a big fan and I was devastated and I was in denial that he was gone .I went off by myself and cried like a baby

I never forget! Every year on this day I play the concert… I have it on VHS still

Great show! It's one of the best of 77! Best of that tour for sure!!

For Someone so Young you have Lovely knowledge of this Great Ledgend, Elvis Presley we are from the UK and visited Graceland in April 1995 a proud moment we hired a car at Nashville and drove to Memphis great Experience it's great to see you keeping this Great Flame Burning Amazing Channel ❤Think you ❤

He visto este su último concierto, en fragmentos que la gente comparte en las redes sociales, me parece que estuvo genial, lo dio todo, puso el alma en cada interpretación a pasar de estar tan enfermo. Gracias por lo que haces, gracias a gente como tu haceis que cada día Elvis tenga nuevos fans . ELVIS FOREVER ❤️

He was way before my time ( I was born in 1988) but thanks to my mom's sister I'm an Elvis fan

Cant belive it has been two years since the Elvis movie!!! Woah!!!

I was there, forever grateful that i was there. Release me was one of my fav songs but he didn’t sing that a lot in his later years concerts, when he started singing it,tears just streamed down my face, I knew it was being sung just for me from a higher power, that was for me. Yes he was amazing, those who have what I have for Elvis, you accept him for what he was the greatest being on God’s earth, not perfect but human, but a human that no other has or will ever come close to. After the concert was over I made my way down to the stage in hopes of finding anything to get so I could have piece of this forever. I found a piece of I’m sure a part of a costume jewelry 3 links of what was probably a bracelet, a green emerald, a red ruby and yellow topaz all squares with gold links linking the pieces together. Probably something a girl in audience threw on stage,somehow it was broken though, but I took what remained. I was a few months away from my 15th birthday, somedays feels like a dream. I was also fortunate enough to see him May 27, 1976 at Assembly Hall in Bloomington Indiana. I feel like the luckiest person in the world. In a world with so many people, I was one of the elite that was in attendance at Elvis Presley’s last concert. Yes, Market Square Arena is gone, however there is a memorial there for Elvis last concert. No, they didn’t build Conseco Fieldhouse there, its multiple things. Market street was street it was part of, Conseco is actually Gainbridge Fieldhouse now located on Pennsylvania st. I have pics of memorial but not sure how to send to you on you tube-how to upload.

I was there. It was hot and sweaty ,great crowd and tiring but great show . Adios

AMEN 🙏 ELVIS PRESLEY 👑⚡️👑⚡️✨👑💫⚡️✨👑😭😭😭😭👀.

He looked so good ❤❤

I saw him in concert twice in 1977 and at the one in Des Moines, Iowa, he loved very ill. He still put in a good show, but sat on a stool for much of it. It made me cry because he seemed so sick. The other concert, he looked and seemed a little better, but I was still so worried about him.❤❤❤

He is still so sadly missed,he will be remembered forever.....❤❤

I can only imagine what he was going through he gave it his all I wish I would of been there

I don't know how it was elsewhere in the world, but apart from showing this concert in 1977 after Elvis died they never repeated showing it in Europe especially around August 16. And I still have the dubbel album that I bought then with a fit Elvis on the cover. Not with the sun dial suit but a white jumpsuit with a black embroidered eagle I believe (just went to look,not seeing the head but large wings) And no pictures of Elvis during that concert but on the inside covers 2 large pictures of Elvis wearing a white jumpsuit with a gem studded eagle in different colors. Similar to the one of "Aloha" and yet different. Never saw him perform with this suit. The back cover mentioning all the songs has an Elvis in a blue jumpsuit with silver trimmings. Now record number 1 was from the aired show with the comments in between and starting off with the fans praises of Elvis. Just like when it was shown on tv at that time to cover up Elvis's slurs and somewhat incoherent speech in between the songs. You can see the full concert now on KZfaq without the fans comments but because of this and Elvis not looking his best,I only got to see that concert again a few years ago on KZfaq.

❤❤Amo você para sempre.

Hey David "from Sydney Australia , Few months back a post came up one of the Elvis site page :Theres alot of Elvis sites page popping up on Facebook now ! Um one of those sites had a article it says about Elvis did his last performance in Indianapolis dome stadium and I was shock as I was reading the article stateing "says ,Elvis last performance they says that"Elvis wasn't much in good mood and it says ,Elvis was a bit out of date coming towards the 1980's !It's either the people in the area said it or other people from other areas said it . The article says Elvis was becoming out of date . I wonder any body came across a article somewhere. Yet that written "Elvis was out of date . My shoulders drop how could any one says Elvis is out of date from his stage outfit and his songs . I ll love Elvis forever 💝

A friend of mine I don't know if she's passed away or not I haven't heard from her in a long time she got it the DVD of his last concert I don't know how she did it but she did and she gave it to me it's got all of his concert on their except him singing are you lonesome Tonight and him saying if you think I'm nervous you're right I remember that cuz I watched that last concert I was 17 years old and I was crying the whole time I was watching it I love that concert even if it is his last I will never forget that concert You take care Dave and God bless

Thanks for sharing this David. I was seven years old that year, and his passing less than two months later shocked the whole world (I live in the UK). Truly the greatest of all time. 🙏👑💖

Being a 19 year old in ‘77 and being a “fan” since 5 I felt scared. Yes, he looked better here and his voice is impeccable at certain times and of course this was ELVIS PRESLEY..but I have said this and felt that something awful was going to happen.. I obviously didn’t know what but it wasn’t a good feeling and although my world felt as if it had drastically changed and seriously asked the question: Can Elvis die??!! Of course he can ..😢

This scene is always so sad to me. Thank you for sharing this story.

I have a bootleg cd of this show. Not the greatest quality but as you mentioned “ Bridge” was very powerful! Kind of like he knew he would never sing it again 😢. I was offered a ticket to the Nassau Long Island NY that never happened 😢. I was 14 .

I need to watch the october 1977 broadcast now of this concert ,it feels like im there ❤first time watching it aswell

The point you ate making about us not knowing it was going to be his last concert is correct. We wre there with the UK Fan Club and when I got home, I said to my girlfriend that we should immediately send our deposits for 1978 - he was that good. There's no doubt that with us only seeing the two shows- Cincinnati and Indianapolis, we didn't have much to compare with but by the time we went in June, I had already seen John Herman's film of the Pittsburgh show at a Gerry McLafferty film so in Glasgow so I was not naive. Bridge was great and I did not expect I Can't Stop Loving You but the pandemonium in front of the stage with seats collapsing and people being crushed by fans trying to get to Elvis is vivid.

Amen Elvis*TCB

Bless Ginger. He had some of same things as Lisa had later.

I have heard it and it was a huge step up from most of the shows that year. I’ve thought that with the Elvis What Happened book on its way, if Elvis knew it was his last.

And exactly two years later Vernon Presley passed away (June 26, 1979).

An Objective view of the last show: Before I knew anything about Elvis, I recall seeing the 1977 CBS TV Special (his last show) as a teenager. I barely noticed he was ill. I just thought he was on the heavy side, but not fat. I thought he looked cool with that hair & sideburns, and I immediately grew mine. I loved this show, so much, that mom bought me the soundtrack from Xmas of 1977 and I played it several hundred times. Not knowing much of him, I immediately liked his voice: strong & deep. I think after CBS editing out of some of his speech slurs during the monologues, this is a good show. My point in writing this is, I wasn't comparing Elvis against his former self (1970 Thats The Way It Is; nor 1960s movie Elvis; nor 1950s bursting on the scene. Rather, I was just a newcomer without any real context and thought he was a solid performer. This, coming from a 14 year old who liked Pop Music of the time, as well as some Heavy Metal. I switched course in 1977 after this show.

This almost brought me to tears. He was a very sweet person. He would get angry, but he quickly made up for it. He was forgiving of others' deeds against him. I will listen one day to this concert, but not right now. Thanks for posting this, David. @hounddog ...thanks for the footage!

I was reviewing the Indy clips again to today and see different versions emphasize different (fan-made/ audience-filmed clips. Some are better than others. He looks pretty cool on one of them coming out for CC Rider. (The other is too far away). He’s more relaxed and noticeably slimmer even in one week since the CBS-taped shows . He’s walking more naturally and moving with more confidence &!ease & looks less bloated facially. I wouldn’t overstate his voice (still some of the ‘77 weaknesses) but he is mostly singing better (as I recall) & does a one or two interesting songs not heard in the CBS show like “Bridge..” “Hurt “ does have extra “over-drive” at the end. I remember the import CD (also on YT) & other versions had a rare and moving final spoken word segment where he does an extended thanks to his fans, the band etc… & even a poignant wish to come back again. I didn’t see it in the video clips but it’s part of the import’s audio. His last song” Can’t Help..” is moving knowing it’s the last version & last performance of any song publicly. He looks energized and even playfully mocks his own sweating when his arms-are up. (More than once.) A nice companion piece on KZfaq is the local Indianapolis TV news report showing and interviewing fans lining up to buy tickets back in the winter or early spring. It’s only been released in recent years & adds some perspective and again is moving in showing the fan excitement was alive and well in 1977.

I was there at his last concert. It was an awesome show but Elvis has some trouble with the lyrics with some of the songs. I also saw Elvis in Bloomington, Indiana. Both shows were awesome!!!!

I wasn't there at his concert because I was 13 and my parents didn't have the money 😢😢

There is bootleg album and DVD for the very last concert, I have them both, and yes, being there I know it’s the concert I was at and know it was MSA as was there many times and know MSA. Yes, the cost to own these both, you don’t want to know, and not your normal market purchase😊 but some things you just gotta have

Elvis had a faithful life. It's said this is a meaningful date: it's Colonel Parker's birthday, Elvis' father passed away by this date two years on, it's the date Elvis first came up at Sun Records, in Memphis.

Who could know that this concert was the last one

1:05 I feel the same way you do brother

Awe, this wasn't Elvis's last concert. It was his last video recorded one. His last concert was in Indianapolis, Indiana... Darealdeal

David Stanley said the night of Elvis funeral he and Priscilla went out for drinks and were making out in his car! She was already planning on selling film rights! One maid also stated that she felt bad that Priscilla was crying but she was laughing about how she now is in charge of everything & her family gets the plane & house and wont sue Elvis now that he is dead. David Stanley on Current Affair.

R u going to buy LMp book?!

The Indianapolis show was better than all the CBS-recorded shows combined -- which isn't saying much, unfortunately.
