This was actually an outtake from the special, aside from some production numbers Elvis recorded two standup and two sit-down shows, for the 1968 Singer television special, now known as the 68 Comeback Special. Elvis dyed his hair black and actually tanned outside usually with an electric fan.

My Fav Rush song, tied with The Trees!! 😊

You'll be surprised, how many artists were influenced by Elvis or loved his music. Robert Plant, Freddy Mercury, Jim Morrison, James Brown, BB King, Tom Jones, Eddie Murphy.... I love many of the artists you mentioned at the beginning, but Elvis is the only one who still gives me chills and happiness, makes me laugh, cry and marvel. Loved your reaction!💚☀️ Please delve into his legacy, you won't regret it!

This was my 1st Taste of Triumph in 1979, sophmore year in high school & is still my favorite Triumph track. My Billfold Vinyl "Just A Game" Album hangs proudly framed in my Listening Room to this day, a Father's Day present from my kids.

Elvis has been my only idol for 50 years now. He was an absolute phenomenon. I thought the young lady had great questions and I for one, appreciate that she asked them. He did dye his hair jet black for the most part and his tan is absolutely real.

Freddie talk like Rami Malek in the movie bohemian rhapsody

Young lady great question Yes Elvis did dye his hair And right we want your real reaction I've been a Elvis fan over 65 years Elvis as a person wasn't perfect Nobody is But Elvis the performer Nobody will ever be better He had it all and could do it all Greatest of all then now and forever ❤

his tan was natural probably from his lavish lifestyle and time spent in hawaii, and as far as his hair, yes he dyed it jet black, in the beginning of the show it was up and slicked back in his typical style and the front would slowly fall down throughout the set which gave it that curled look

You can’t not vibe to this. One of the most technical albums ever made

Ed Elvis in his short life. Not many T.Vs. back then. No auto tune no nothing much Elvis hired his singers, guitar players. Drummer & all. He led them as he sang. You can see this in his stage performaces.❤Elvis. Thank you!

You aren't cool until you've heard chicken train.

Saw them in 2005 or 6 (End Is Begun tour). Phenomenal musicianship. EDIT: They didn't open with this though. More like an intermission.

You miss a lot of great music im glad you have a chance to hear it now.

Justin & Mama P! Alright

To say he was a showman is just stupid when he has almost sold 1,5 billion records then you are more than a showman😉, think you should look up what all the greats says about him including Led Zeppelin, all the greats are fine with Elvis being called the King, otherwise a great reaction

Every time I see him perform now, I think without the drugs, the terrible management and hangers on, how much more great work he'd have done. Legend.

Suspicious minds..is great

I liked Elvis movie. Where he was not the king. Kings are blues musicians..his guirarrist was good and made more contributions than Elvis. Sorry guys.. not the king. Kings were black blues people

Amazing reaction. More please 💕💕💕💕

Elvis changed the world

I was in high school in the 1970’s. All the kids were into Chicago or Elton John. I loved Elvis but I never said anything. I was already ‘uncool’ so I wasn’t going to give the brats more ammunition to harass me. I’m old now and I still love Elvis.

You should do a reaction to Elvis Presley's Bosa Nova baby from his movie Fun in Alcapolco. I didn't know someone could move like that. He acts sings dances plays keyboard,and Bongos all at once. One of his best performances.R.I.P. Elvis Presley ✌️❤️🙏🙏🙏

Elvis was the complete package he had everything. He always had fun performing and this translates to the audience. He is a legend for a reason. thank you

❤❤

Awesome and I love your technical set up

I don't listen to Elvis that often, but he unquestionably was the man. Astronomically, ridiculously talented. I mean, he invented rock'n'roll. Some people had made important attempts before, but Elvis was the one who cracked the code and put rock'n'roll properly on the map. Everything about him as an entertainer is amazing, but as a singer he's head and shoulders above all the rest. Great seeing him on the channel. More, please.

Three guys who don't need a bulge in their pants to play.

You should do a lot more Elvis,including his documentaries and then you would understand a lot more! I'll sub for Elvis, if there's no more Elvis I will unsub. The more you listen to him sing with his wonderful vocals and watch his documentaries the more you will understand and admire Elvis the person!

No fake tan, just time in the sun. He did dye his hair as he was naturally blonde. At the beginning of this performnce dust ing the evening his hair wasn't messy it was st licked brd, only when he moved did that perfect curl of hair flop down. He was amazingly talented and stunning to look at. Fantastic genetics ft or looks but ultimately his genitic an estry contributed to the illnesses that killed him.

I'm not a big fan of Pearl Jam but this was a pretty cool unplugged performance.

@5:52, nobody does it like Rob Halford!

Robert Plant tells the story on RUclips when Led Zeppelin went to see Elvis in LA that he made a mistake starting a song - stopped his band and said ‘we need to get this right boys, led zeppelin’s in that audience tonight’

- - - - a suggestion, if I may..... Those who are new to elvis, I suggest staying away from mid 1960s movies & the soundtracks and focus first on his Greatest Hits, Gold Records, and songs he is best known for, and strive for Studio Versions. Everyone is this modern era must be stimulated by video, but do yourself a favor and close your eyes and listen to his best studio work before going live. This clip is an exception to that rule, but I still maintain his studio version of this song is worth also hearing.

I love the sit down sessions from this special. The final edit that aired in 1968 only used a few minutes of these sessions but there are two full sessions that were made available later and include marvelous ad lib moments and really show off his amazing charisma ❤ He was tan for this special as he had just returned from Hawaii but he wasn’t above using a fake tan when he needed to. He made no secret of dying his hair. He liked it that way and didn’t mind saying so. Great reaction 🎉

Thank's Guys for reacting to this. If you tried his standing up performance. Ye will certainly see his hair fall all over the place. Same show 68 Comeback special. So you could try. Heartbreak Hotel/ Hound dog/ All shook up. It's a melody he does. Thanks.

So glad you're including some Elllllvis on this channel. I remember a Chris Squire interview where he said "It's funny when people say Yes is a rock band. For me rock and roll was Elvis and all that." Of course he was a major influence on John Lennon and the Beatles, which was where they got all of those mannerisms like throwing a "Weeeelll..." in before other vocal lines. Speaking of The Beatles, dying hair goes back farther than you might think. Ringo died his hair to hide a gray streak back in the early 60's.

You should give One Of Our Submarines a spin!

Beother and Ma'am.

Elvis was blond as a child, but by his teen years his hair had turned chestnut brown. He used to "grease up" his hair in the 1950's before he became famous with vaseline. He started dying his hair jetblack since 1956. And he did get a tan for this TV show. He was a gorgeous man.

If you love led zeppelin then check out the interview with robert plant meeting elvis . It shows how these guys also loved elvis

Elvis, apparently, was much better looking in the flesh than he already was on screen and in photos. Hard to believe. So many women and (heterosexual) men openly said he was the most beautiful human being they'd ever seen. Also that he was one of the nicest people one could imagine. Just watch these clips of various celebrities talking about Elvis: ruclips.net/video/1dOfpXg6on0/видео.html various people about Elvis Goldie Hawn 8:33, ruclips.net/video/aznpMRCvK6s/видео.html BB King, ruclips.net/video/oE2CrArkatY/видео.html Nancy Sinatra (Frank Sinatra's daughter), ruclips.net/video/2jY-sS6rFDc/видео.html Kurt Russell (who acted opposite Elvis age 10 and who also played Elvis in a movie), ruclips.net/video/1FhGY_sVsfM/видео.html kurt russell, ruclips.net/video/-69L_0f2en4/видео.html Jerry Reed (who wrote and played guitar on Guitar Man and who starred in many Burt Reynolds movies), ruclips.net/video/mzuTA5ES9fA/видео.html walter matthau richard egan jerry lieber jerry schilling (Walter Matthau played opposite Elvis in King Creole, Richard Egan played opposite Elvis in Love Me Tender), ruclips.net/video/qN6dBTlT3HA/видео.html Ed Ashner (played opposite Elvis in Kid Galahad and Change of Habit), ruclips.net/video/hWFA29tOul4/видео.html Harry Morgan (starred with Elvis in Frankie & Johnny), ruclips.net/video/ywsuK3sRtLI/видео.html Mac Davis (singer songwriter who wrote In the Ghetto), ruclips.net/video/ASofKyyYTlI/видео.html Joe Namath (veteran football player), ruclips.net/video/N-KDZ7E3S7A/видео.html Bruno Kirby (actor and fan). It's crazy to think that Elvis has been dead longer than he has lived, yet his fandom is still growing. Passed away at 42 and this year he will have been gone for 47 years.

Elvis was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, in a 2 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory. Elvis always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather, Jesse Dunning Presley, was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. J.D. Presley was quite the racist a-hole, often drunk and a philandering husband to Minnie Mae (they were actually separated long before they finally divorced in 1954) who was always competing with his sons Vester and Vernon and who was known to abuse his kids when drunk. J.D. was publicly against race mixing and was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. It was more publicly known that the Smith family had Native blood in their family tree, so when both his sons fell for 2 Smith sisters and Vernon, on top of that, was still a minor at 17 when he eloped with Gladys who was 4 years older than him, Jesse was totally pissed off. As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis. One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.

SOO GREAT...WE❤U ELVIS!

My Dad was stationed in Hamburg Germany as an Army VIP transport driver and one day was sent to the airport to pick up an unspecified VIP..yep, it was Elvis. Dad said Elvis would sing and play with Army musicians (dad sat in on one occassion) but these were very brief as Elvis had personnel stop these apparently because Elvis's contract disallowed "performances" while he was enlisted. Dad said Elvis was super friendly to all GI's while there.

I was 4 yo when this was aired and the record came out. We had the record but I remember watching this on TV. Made a huge impression on me. This is Elvis for me. Unfortunately I more resemble fat Elvis. And I want that guitar!! In ‘75-‘76 he played Mac Court, the old basketball arena at the University of Oregon in Eugene and my Sister and my Mom went with some of my sisters friends. It was a HUGE deal. My Mom didn’t go as a chaperone, my sister was 23, she went because she’d been an Elvis freak since 1956 when she was 24 yo.

Yeah Elvis’ voice was exceptional - no one was ever better than he was. Imagine him performing with legendary music figures that came after him such as Freddie Mercury - The Rolling Stones - MOUNTAIN - KISS and other mega groups

Oceans, Jeremy, and Porch at MTV unplugged are outstanding. Every song is really well done though. IMO, Pearl Jam had the greatest unplugged performance. Nirvana’s was most iconic.

Yes, Elvis did dye his hair black and had done since 1957. He was naturally a dark blonde. His hairdresser said Elvis’ hair was very fine but he had a lot of it. I’m sure the make up and hair people on this production made the most of his beautiful hair, including the lick that fell over his forehead. Elvis went to Hawaii for a few weeks prior to filming to specifically work on his tan. Interestingly, the power brokers at NBC and from the sponsor, were not going to allow any of the black leather suit footage (2 x 30 minute sitdown shows and 2 x 30 minute stand up segments) to be aired because Elvis was sweating and his hair was messed up!

As music critic, Jon Landau said “There is something magical about watching a man who has lost himself find his way back home.” After 8 long years cocooned in his movie career, Elvis had lost his relevance as a rock n roller. Elvis’ manager, Tom Parker, had negotiated with NBC to fund a new Elvis movie. They agreed as long as Elvis agreed to do a TV special for them. Parker said yes to Elvis doing a Christmas Special where he would sing only Christmas songs, say thank you and good night, nothing more. Fortunately the team NBC put together for the special, including young and very relevant Steve Binder … and this clip is part of the fabulous result, a defining event in Elvis’ legacy for people to enjoy 56 years later.

I was like 11 when I watched this on my aunts b/w tv! Just remember really liking it at the time.. thought he was funny.
