i've heard better versions of this song imo. Hampton Roads evening show in 1972,which can be heard at the the end of THIS IS ELVIS, and Aloha 1/14/73 top this.
@msmithstud I agree with you. This version is unique because he changes some of the phrasing we are use to in other versions but I pefer this song to be a tad more self contained but still powerful like the two you mentioned.
Sadly one of the worst versions was the one released as a single in 72.
@pricepittsburgh yes, the 1972 version was a February Vegas performance and was a bit mediocre in my opinion. As i said before, his performance seen at the very end of THIS IS ELVIS is one of his best and it sends chills up my spine. When this record was released in 1972, the 'b' side was THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE and it failed to chart.
@pricepittsburgh are you talking about 1/12/73 aka ''the alternate aloha'? I have that concert on dvd and it's also pretty good. It did become the highlight of his show from 1972-1974.By 1975, he had begun to phase out Suspicious Minds and Trilogy, which were staples of his show in previous years. Triology was eventually replaced with AMERICAN THE BEAUTIFUL. He introduced the song towards the end of 1975 and performed it relentlessly in 1976.
It seems like he gets a tad more conservative on the 01/14 version where he seems more relaxed on 01/12.
You know as well as I his moods went up and down depending on how he felt from one show to another.
The entire 01/14 Satelite show he's clearly nervous at the magnitude of it all and not cutting lose with the humor and exciement seen in Vegas and arenas. Or he didn't feel it appropriate to get too loose for those around the world who had never seen his 70s live act.
my favourite recording of this song is when some idiot shouts "i hate you elvis" and elvis comes right back with "F**ck you" and the audience love it.
This is of course a good version, but I don't think it is the best in my humble opinion. By 1975 Elvis was a little bit tired of "trilogy"; and in December the american medley was replaced by "America The Beautiful". Nice version anyway.
You lucky duck deannamarie29 to see Elvis live would have been an experience I would have treasured the greatest singer of all time what a concert to see.
I cry cause I'm 27 and I've never had the pleasure of seeing elvis. He's the best there ever was or ever will be. Long live the king and love live dixie!
@dsgboba7x I'm in the same boat as you :( I'm only 15 but I'm always told I was born in the wrong era bc of the love I have for the King of Rock n Roll♥
I am sixteen, and being an Elvis fan these days that makes me incredibly weird but I don't care he's just amazing and beats anything that's around these days
@No1RebelRebel Have no shame in proclaiming your love for Elvis' music, as his music will always remain fresh, as music has not improved, on the contrary, of course! I was in the same boat when I was younger but I stood firm in my own belief regarding Elvis as the greatest and all true critics agree with this, so to Hell with the ignorant begrudgers who deride him as some sort of antique! Music has gone full circle and it's sad that the climax is the s''' of today! LLT King!!
@No1RebelRebel I have my freinds daughter she is 16 and her room is walll to wall pictures and posters of Elvis!...her room is like a shrine to Elvis..lol...i kid you not! so your not the only one! :)
@No1RebelRebel ty 4 having a voice and an opinion sweet 6teen lol :) and u r certainly not weird for liking and loving this music being song by the greatest singer/ voice ever in the history of music :) the only singer/ voice 2 come very close 2 elvis is micheal jackson :0 another great great artist :) but aint it weird :( that they both left us at a very early age :( the like of those 2 we will never ever see :( or hear ever again :(
@No1RebelRebel It is great that you discovered the magic of Elvis' amazing voice and it no way makes you weird.It makes you smart to recognize great music performed by American's greatest Idol. I was an Elvis fan by 1959 and I was also listening to everything put out by The Platters, The Five Satins, and Frank Sinatra. My Parents were always playing the music from the 1940's on, so I was hearing all of the different groups of each era. Check out Bobby Darin, a great performer.
@No1RebelRebel - being an Elvis fan at 16 in this day and age DOES NOT make you weird, it simply makes you SMARTER than most of the other 16 year olds!!! Taylor Swift or Justin Beiber and others that people your age are calling "all the rage" cannot even compare to talent like this, and would not even be fit to polish this mans shoes.
@No1RebelRebel me too however i get over this by beatng my bullies and down-pressure pig ignorant gits by a blow to the nasal region, downward, this give extreme blood cavaties to explode, ie nose bleeds, bullies need to be bullied.
Elvis had real talent and charisma, he wasn't a manufactured product.
When he was young he could actually dance naturally and not just do someone'schoreography.
He could actually sing well and sing al genres of music not just one style with pitch machines in a studio and the best parts of each take edited together. He didn't sound crappy live he often sounded better.
In my mind, you are one of the chosen ones. To be an Elvis fan is something unique and never taken for granted. Most kids nowadays, a lot of them being your peers, don't know beauty if it hit them in the face. They're busy indulging themselves in bad taste with the likes of the music industry today. As for you, being an Elvis fan at sixteen shows something about your character. Take care.
@No1RebelRebel can i just say when i was 13 it was 1986 and on my school bag i had rock n roll forever Elvis, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent etc evryone else had Micheal Jackson, Madonna,Whitney, Bon Jovi etc etc but i tell you now i am still a teddy gir always will bel tho all those from school have moved on and seeing them now they are amazed that i am still into the musuc i was then goes to show that it will last forever
I'm 67 and have growm up with him.He is the greatest. Many people think Mick Jackson is or was the new King. BOLOGNA. On Jackson's best day. he couldn't hold a candel to Elvis ,even on his worsg day,even if Elvis had laringitus
It is not bad, but it is far from his best version. It is too rushed and clipped. I think the very best version I have heard thus far was from the cd, An Afternoon In The Garden.
Nice to find such a spectacular version. Elvis was NOT "phoning in" this song. He was just really meaning and enjoying singing it. Good for him..,, and us too. :-)
this version is good..BUT,THE VERSION HE DID IN ALOHA,14.JAN.73,IS MUCH BETTER..HE HAS A REAL SINGER FOCUS ON THAT SHOW..IN THIS VERSION HE IS NOT SEROIUS AT ALL..BUT ELVIS IS ELVIS ANYWAY,I KNOW THAT..BUT HIS VOICE HAS TOOO MUCH VIBRATO HERE,AND HE IS TIRED TOO..HE IS STRAINED IN HIS VOICE AND HAVE A KIND OF WHEENING IN HIS VOCE IN THIS VERSION. I MUST SAY..THAT ELVIS IS MUTCH BETTER IN EARLIER VERSIONS.(CINCERLYFROM A BIG ELVIS FAN FROM NORWAY)
I love his music...my mother loved him all of my early days of growing up and now that she isn't here, I find myself being drawn to him more and more and his music not only soothes me but makes me happy to my inner core...I sure hope Elvis knows how happy he did make us while he was here!!
I agree, Elvis was truly the most beautiful man that has ever graced this earth!!!! Love his music, his style, his looks, the whole package. There will never be another!!!!
This version was really good, but I think it is second to the one he did for the Aloha From Hawaii, the end of the song was just awesome. Also does anyone know the name of the guy who plays the flute in this song he is awesome.
. . . and Elvis was, indeed, the most beautiful man who ever walked the planet; I'm just so sorry he never found true peace and happiness. I had the privilege of growing up listening to him and seeing him in person before he became famous and thereafter and have many photos we took of him during those years, including some of me and my friends with him. I wouldn't take anything for them. The fact that so many people love him worldwide who never saw him is testament to his tremendous talent.
Sadly, J.D. Sumner passed away 11-16-98, but before that, he was the owner of that fabulous deep voice we heard on stage with Elvis and on his recordings. For 18 years, J.D. held the Guiness World record for recording the lowest bass note. As of 2011, he has been surpassed only 3 times by vocalists Mike Holcomb (1984), Tim Storms (2002) and Roger Menees (2011). Elvis LOVED J.D.’s voice and reveled in hearing him hit those incredibly low notes, especially when they were singing gospel music.
@MsStoneWoman You're so right. Elvis LOVED J.D.'s voice. He used to playfully get mad at him - calling him a "show off." Ironically, Elvis originally tried out to be a part of a gospel group - the Blackwood Brothers I believe....But they said he couldn't sing harmony. Lead yes, but not harmony (not easy for many people). J.D. wasn't officially singing any more, but was the manager for the Stamps, but when Elvis called asking for them to tour he said, "No, I want JD too."
@delhidog Freddy Mercury was truly a monster. But a singer's range is only a part of his/her arsenal. It's what the singer can communicate... For me, when Elvis was at his best, wow...
He was rightly named The King of Rock and Roll...no one like him to date...looks, charm, voice...He was The Package...what a shame...still missed...always Loved.
Love This Video David Reminds Me Of The Gospel Nights We Had On Your Site You Did An Awesomee Job With The Show And Im Sure We All Appreciated It I Know I Did You All Were Great Thank You For The Great Times With His Shows Luv Ya Both Hugss xxx

If you're interested and have satellite radio (XM/Sirrius) Channel 19 is 24/7 FULL TIME Elvis rock! No other artists, just the King! Yes, he was one of the most handsome men ever in the entertainment world with a voice to die for. A shame he didn't live longer to full his dreams and keep us all listening to what type of music he would be singing today. Rest in peace Elvis, hope you're entertaining my parents that left us too young also.
If my memory serves me correctly .. this song was sung at his last concert... Of course I can remember the day he passed.. I was 12 years old... so in love with Elvis Presley.. of course along with the rest of the population.
as my nan said he is one good lookin fellow i grew up listening to him i been to his home 4 times i loved my nan not just for the american holidays but to see my favourite singer too .... alive an well in all his fans
@timzp- you are right about his three faults. Yes he was human, and not the only superstar to succomb to the stress of a life on a pedistal. Still love him
This was absolutely fabulous. His delivery of this song is beautiful beyond anything. What a treasure he is for us to have with us today. God gave him as a sign of His love to us, his people.
Im a 52 year old dad on my daughters computer. I was blessed enough to have seen Elvis live during his dynamite March 74 tour. I have been the worlds biggest fan since I was 6 .Elvis had something that just cant be put into words. Once you look at him, you simply cant take your eyes off of him ! Charisma,electricity, whatever, just doesnt describe him.He was an absolute divine spiritual presence . He had the looks of a God, the voice of an angel, and the moves of a panther.He was THE MAN !! TCB
I agree. Saw Elvis in 1975 and his charisma was beyond belief. A friend's father didn't like him, but somehow managed to sneak in to the end of the concert. He became an instant "convert" due to Elvis's incredible charisma.
@deannamarie29 I am a 51 year old mom and grandma. I never got to see Elvis in person, but loved his Gospel music and his other music. Elvis had what it took to perform, live and love. He is still the man to many and always will be. My mom is 77 and still loves him. If us kids can't figure out what to buy her, we always buy her something pertaining to Elvis and she loves it.
@karen48T my dad is 65 and he idolizes Elvis till today. For Christmas I gave him an ipod with only elvis songs and he was so excited we would look at him and he would be singing the songs with his eyes closed in the middle of the christmas party
@SuperPrincessvanessa Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for sharing that story. I'm only 45 right now, but I can see myself at 65 or even 85 doing the same thing. Your DAD knows who's the best!!
@Lorenzoslions thanks, and i forgot to mention one thing those sames songs I have on my Ipod and im only 41 but grew up listening to Elvis record with my father ever since I can remember I must of been 6 or 7 I didnt know what the guy looked like but in my mind I visioned him black. Also I admire how humble he was people would call him KING and he would answer only Jesus is king. He was just heaven sent to us I love Elvis
@deannamarie29 dude, i adore elvis and cant believe you saw him...i am amazed! please tell us more....is it true he had a magnetic presence, something undeniable and unexplainable? do tell, i just want to know what it was like to be at the concert, the atmosphere, what people said after...was it the best experience ever? i wish i was there! peace!
@deannamarie29 Oh, I am so incredibly jealous that you got to see Elvis in concert my friend-in the nicest possible way, of course. I have been a fan of of his since I first saw him on tv in 1973 (I was 5) and i have yet to hear a better voice/singer than Elvis Presley.
@deannamarie29 Beautifully put, as I often say, I'm an outrageously but I have loved The King since I was a kid. As you said, the charisma, the amazing voice, just the presence of the guy. Elvis Presley was an incredible one off.
The defense I have for this version: It's said that Elvis was great when he was challenged & why his early music was great & his come back music was great. I think Elvis should have gone the route Bob Dylan went -- in that, when Dylan performs live you never know what arrangement of a song you're going to get. This is how Dylan keeps his music fresh & interesting. Presley should have done it too. In this version here -- he deviated. Had fun. You can hear it. He pushed it. This was Elvis.
I agree with Monica. Hawaii was the definitive live version. Right down to the sweat dripping off the Kings nose. There will never be another Elvis. God rest his soul.

All He reveals in his gift to humanity..// watch LA PAROLA IN CUATRO and merge with the greatest pronouncement and the highest science. Watch and rejoice…this one is for real ! it is He ! @ La Parola In Cuatro.
You are right! im blown away with this version, thanks for sharing. Im still a loyal Elvis fan,ive tried getting into other solo artists like springsteen ( Wembley July 5th 1985 was excellent, Bruce a real Elvis Fan ) and though i like bruce he can never top the King, in looks, performance,. Cept bruce does perform in the uk. Long live the King of R&R...Cheers, paul.Oh yes, a single release of this would crash the charts no probs..TTFN
when God tasked himself at making the perfect man, this was the result. But to God Almighty's dismay, he was still a man with faults. E's three weaknesses in order, girls, pills & then fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I've read on many sites that The King would eat 12 to 15 of those heart cloggers at a sitting. RIP King
@ThePloppypop you sir are an idiot. first of all dont you dare say those things about The King. Second of all God created everyone. third, if you are not a fan of Elvis then why did you watch this video? and fourth it takes a very stupid jackass to post a comment like your comment. go and listen to some fake popstar with too much implants. youll enjoy what you listen to and the rest of us wont have to hear about your idiotic point of view.
@timzp If you listen to the version and the others you will see that Elvis' health was not good, he never holds the long notes as he once did. I saw him the last show he performed in Indianapolis, and he was still the best.
@timzp MANY a straight bloke has shared your sentiments. In fact, I am thinking of one who used your EXACT words. God bless this specimen of a being that God has shined a light on us with Elvis 'presence.
After all these years, nothing by Elvis Presley surprises me---except this. This is an excellent and rare variation of his American Trilogy. This is the best!
I think the best version of american trilogy I've ever heard, is when he performed in madison square garden. Its on the cd "an afternoon in the garden" that one blows me away everytime I hear it.
If anyone would like to see a very good Elvis Tribute singer, put MichaelDean001 in your search box. Best Elvis tribute i've heard. You'll be very surprised.
American Trilogy was always a fantastic song. Elvis put all his vocal power into this exciting piece of music every time he performed it...I wouldn´t say that it is the best version, because everyone likes another version better...actually all versions are great...., just because it´s Elvis. And Elvis was, is and will forever be one of the greatest singers the world has ever seen....by the way, my favourite versions are the ones from Aloha and Dixieland Rocks.
This is good, but I think his 1972 version from the album "An Afternoon in the Garden" is his best version. You can find it on youtube. If you would like to hear it, add this to the end of youtube.com
Top ten of all time! Elvis rocked, rolled and inspired.

I love his music...my mother loved him all of my early days of growing up and now that she isn't here, I find myself being drawn to him more and more and his music not only soothes me but makes me happy to my inner core...I sure hope Elvis knows how happy he did make us while he was here!!

This version was really good, but I think it is second to the one he did for the Aloha From Hawaii, the end of the song was just awesome. Also does anyone know the name of the guy who plays the flute in this song he is awesome.

. . . and Elvis was, indeed, the most beautiful man who ever walked the planet; I'm just so sorry he never found true peace and happiness. I had the privilege of growing up listening to him and seeing him in person before he became famous and thereafter and have many photos we took of him during those years, including some of me and my friends with him. I wouldn't take anything for them. The fact that so many people love him worldwide who never saw him is testament to his tremendous talent.

Sadly, J.D. Sumner passed away 11-16-98, but before that, he was the owner of that fabulous deep voice we heard on stage with Elvis and on his recordings. For 18 years, J.D. held the Guiness World record for recording the lowest bass note. As of 2011, he has been surpassed only 3 times by vocalists Mike Holcomb (1984), Tim Storms (2002) and Roger Menees (2011). Elvis LOVED J.D.’s voice and reveled in hearing him hit those incredibly low notes, especially when they were singing gospel music.

@MsStoneWoman You're so right. Elvis LOVED J.D.'s voice. He used to playfully get mad at him - calling him a "show off." Ironically, Elvis originally tried out to be a part of a gospel group - the Blackwood Brothers I believe....But they said he couldn't sing harmony. Lead yes, but not harmony (not easy for many people). J.D. wasn't officially singing any more, but was the manager for the Stamps, but when Elvis called asking for them to tour he said, "No, I want JD too."

If you're interested and have satellite radio (XM/Sirrius) Channel 19 is 24/7 FULL TIME Elvis rock! No other artists, just the King! Yes, he was one of the most handsome men ever in the entertainment world with a voice to die for. A shame he didn't live longer to full his dreams and keep us all listening to what type of music he would be singing today. Rest in peace Elvis, hope you're entertaining my parents that left us too young also.

Im a 52 year old dad on my daughters computer. I was blessed enough to have seen Elvis live during his dynamite March 74 tour. I have been the worlds biggest fan since I was 6 .Elvis had something that just cant be put into words. Once you look at him, you simply cant take your eyes off of him ! Charisma,electricity, whatever, just doesnt describe him.He was an absolute divine spiritual presence . He had the looks of a God, the voice of an angel, and the moves of a panther.He was THE MAN !!

I agree. Saw Elvis in 1975 and his charisma was beyond belief. A friend's father didn't like him, but somehow managed to sneak in to the end of the concert. He became an instant "convert" due to Elvis's incredible charisma.

@deannamarie29 I am a 51 year old mom and grandma. I never got to see Elvis in person, but loved his Gospel music and his other music. Elvis had what it took to perform, live and love. He is still the man to many and always will be. My mom is 77 and still loves him. If us kids can't figure out what to buy her, we always buy her something pertaining to Elvis and she loves it.

The defense I have for this version: It's said that Elvis was great when he was challenged & why his early music was great & his come back music was great. I think Elvis should have gone the route Bob Dylan went -- in that, when Dylan performs live you never know what arrangement of a song you're going to get. This is how Dylan keeps his music fresh & interesting. Presley should have done it too. In this version here -- he deviated. Had fun. You can hear it. He pushed it. This was Elvis.

when God tasked himself at making the perfect man, this was the result. But to God Almighty's dismay, he was still a man with faults. E's three weaknesses in order, girls, pills & then fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I've read on many sites that The King would eat 12 to 15 of those heart cloggers at a sitting. RIP King

American Trilogy was always a fantastic song. Elvis put all his vocal power into this exciting piece of music every time he performed it...I wouldn´t say that it is the best version, because everyone likes another version better...actually all versions are great...., just because it´s Elvis. And Elvis was, is and will forever be one of the greatest singers the world has ever seen....by the way, my favourite versions are the ones from Aloha and Dixieland Rocks.
