Elvis Presley Live in Pittsburgh New Years Eve Concert, 31 Dec. 1976 Part 5 of 5

[myfriendangel1]

THIS is way better than the 73 special and of course way better than the cbs special . i ts so hard to see how a person can be this way at the new yr and 8 months later be totally oppisite this is elvis at his best in the 70's al ittle over wieght ok but nothing like august ,and full of so much energy amazing i wish sombody would clean this video up and edit it and send it to cbs for a new special to air on new yrs eve that would be a great new tradition every yr on tv!

[koranisevil]

Couldn't Elvis afford another mic? What a Nimrod it wasn't planned!!!

[Chuckcaster]

I was at this show after they announced Elvis has left the building, Elvis and John Wilkerson got back on stage and did a couple of song on the acoustic guitars They played a great version of Early Morning rain to the hundred or so people who stayed . They did a jam session for about an hour with individual members of band. Elvis ended up on the piano singing to his girl friend Ginger.Best Elvis show ever.

[martins14091]

@Chuckcaster This is Elvis and could not be different from the picture that he went to his audience, simplicity, generosity and charisma he had, the first time I saw a film of his that passed here in Brazil in 1959, and since then have not stopped to hear him sing and watch movies, I just regret not having seen his shows, more than just Elvis himself (Elvis alive)

[Yellyist]

@Chuckcaster You`re lucky! Elvis deteriorated after this show. His version of "Hound dog" was terrible, but the rest was great. Especially "Hurt"

[JJHammer]

One of the best shows Elvis did late 70's....thanks for posting the clips!!

[ahwder]

The greatest version of "Hurt", Elvis ever sang. Just amazing...laying on the stage and singing like Pavarotti ...FANTASTIC!

[pulmon66]

For those complaining about this, or that, just go to 2.00 into the clip. Then ask any tenor, in the world to replicate what Presley does, as goies to the floor, while simultaneously holding that huge, 8 second B-4 note. That´s master at work. Incidentally, of the 73,000 professional impersonators I´ve yet to see even the best of them, some with even superior ranges to thta of Presley, to try that one.

[dennisfit]

WOW,THIS IS THE BEST I VE SEEN OF THAT TIME,ELVIS GIVES EVERYTHING...HURT WAS AMAZING..WOW...POWER,BUT, A LOT OF EFFORT ON HIS PART..THANKS FOR POSTING...THANK YOU...JUST GREAT.....LAST DAYS OF ELVIS AND STILL KICKING ASS...WOW.......

[fosterlink]

Couldn't Elvis afford an extra mike so when he played guitar Charlie wouldn't have to stand there like an idiot? Jeez, Elvis' concerts were so haphazard and unprofessional.

[hoghead571]

@fosterlink Yeah, but if you were getting paid what Charlie was you`d do the same thing. I think a lot of people would, including myself.

[fosterlink]

@hoghead571 I don't think Charlie was necessarily making that much money. But he did get to live above Elvis' garage at Graceland. Nonetheless, you make a good point. I would let Elvis use my back as a stool while he played. LOL. Still, why didn't he just get another mic?

[hoghead571]

@fosterlink I would love to have been making what Elvis was paying Charlie. Also remember, he was probably top guy in Elvis`s inner circle. So he would have had better access to Elvis`s cars, bikes, and other stuff. That would have been worth not making much money. Elvis took good care of the people around him.

[dmljm2]

Amazing Footage and Thanks for Posting My Friend ! I notice people mention the breaks in the film and i'm sure that's because of the movie camera the person was using at the time, wheather he shut the camera off for a second or 2 who knows. People have to realize this was back in the day before video cameras. I'm just grateful the person who filmed this concert and Thanks to Galoport for Posting It !

[ahwder]

Elvis was unique...and the best entertainer that the world has ever seen.

[GinaTCB]

I was suppose to go with you to this concert, but Mom though I was to young (10), so she promised that the next time he came to pittsburgh she would take me, but there was no next time, eight months later he was gone. I have and never will get over that. I was there is spirit!

[rcbehe]

I was 18 when I went to this concert. When he sang Hurt it was one of the best thrills of my life. I will never forget it.

[Davewise1965]

@atwa911. If you don't like Elvis why have you clicked onto an Elvis video ? Are brains in short supply where you come from ? Your grammar is comparable to that of a four year old. Elvis the king forever.

[tommyno24]

Atwass911 I can bet $50 dollars you cannot sing like Elvis or I can bet you dont even come close to his good looks.

[lene73]

@tommyno24 asswipe oh sorry atwass...is it no elvis costello u look like?probably sound like kylie minouge.T'''t.

[mrsuperelvisfan]

This was a great concert,but some of the songs in the concert were missing.If you don't mind,here is a list of them:

"2001 theme"

"Early Morning Rain"

"Band solos"

"Unchained Melody"

"Rags To Riches".

[brendanbuyers2009]

Elvis was in absolutely PERFECT voice that night! Damn!

[Zioel1]

Atwa911 you can go fuck yourself cuz you'r so fucking stupid this guy is the KING !!! but i will not blame you for thinking this cuz i know you MUST have some kind of brain damage MORON........ Ps. I really feel bad for u YERK!

[atwa911]

just awsome lol

[atwa911]

this guy was a joke drug taking womanizing loooser who ended up deader than a nail in the crapper rite next to his career what a looser in his day he was comparable to boozo the clown any one acting the way he did would end up in prinson rite where he belonged but he found jesus so everything was ok my god people open your eyes he was a looser from birth people where to dumb to realize it so to elvis i say im glad your dead to bad manson didnt get ya b4 your drugs did

[brendanbuyers2009]

@atwa911 Amazing! Elvis passed away all those years ago, and retard guys like you are STILL jealous of him.

[lene73]

@atwa911 yawn.....jealousy is gonna be your killer you ass wipe.Do not post here again...the world loved EP,his voice...he had charisma..try bid on ebay pal for that?MM liked elvis...you are making me angry....i can only imagine lol youre hatred towards good looking talented guys.

[atwa911]

u have to be kidding me people idolized this idiot and all he was was a womanizing drug addict friggin bloke. If someone other than this idiot was to act in the same manner they would be in prison ooooooo but wait he did some gospel garbage found jesus as sooooooo many do and everything was ok right please he was a friggin joke died where he belonged in the crapper alongwith his pathetic career do somemore drugs you dumb shit lol

[jeryd2003]

@atwa911 u critisize elvis 4 being a womanizer, most men r. drug addiction, that started with sleeping pills which was a major mistake but nonetheless thats how it all started. he should have tried naturall remedies like sleeping at the same time everynight say 11 to 7 or 12 to seven. u sound like a drug addict, an imbosile, a tweek and a ax murderer.

[lene73]

@jeryd2003 know what yer saying however this was the 70s where doctors were giving out valium,tablets like smarties///also most natural rememdies for a man like this would have done nothing...He had an addictive personality,apart from booze..he seldom touched.Its easy to rely on sleeping tablets My friend.MJ also.....lifestyles are world apart from ours.All the shows he done in the 70s..too much!!!no wonder he took tablets.Brill upload.

[jeryd2003]

@lene73 everyone has an addictive personality so u have to retrain the brain slowlly through the basic 3, sleep, nutriton, and exercise and then u have the foundation for strength and mighty accomplishments.

[lene73]

@jeryd2003 Well elvis had insomnia..i know what thats like....you should not judge a person until you have lived their lives.I know what you are saying but point is the 1970s?most took these tablets....thats what am saying.If col parker didn't work him so hard..maybe he would still be here,got a chance to come to the uk..away from vegas..where we love him.greetings from scotland!

[Infordust]

This must have been his highest notes sung live. If anyone knows anything higher let me know :D

[handleonitezy]

For the most part it was some what entertaining. Not sure if all the breaks in songs where neccessary.  Hats off to showing what fans may never have seen before!

[Galoport]

I did not edited the concert video. I've uploaded it just as i have it with all the breaks. But my only point uploading this footage was to show to the fans,like you well said, something that they never saw before and also to prove that Elvis was not that bad from 1974 on. In this case he was stil very very good.

[annemaree]

Thankyou for this brilliant share!!!

*allstars

[diamant7799]

Beautiful video ,thanks

[grammaelvis]

awesome such a powerful song

[Magryd3344]

What a grande finale. If only.....no I don´t say anymore. It was fabolous, thanks Galoport for the upload and thanks knowing for this share!

All stars**********

Maggan

[IFOnlyE]

Exactly, you listen to his voice , watch him here.. This looks nothing like a man on his way out.. and I can tell you this is not all he was still capable of doing, there was alot of life left in this man.. What really happened that day, I don't think any of us will ever know.. and that's sad very sad.. IFOnly

[kcgirl073]

I agree......he was so great right up until a few months before his death and he became so swollen just like his Mother did. I honestly think it was a hereditary condition because they both passed in their 40s!

[knowingElvis]

Thanks beautiful jeanne for sharing this with us and thanks to galoport for this amazing upload proof to most of you who think Elvis was sick as most wanted you to believe! the storm that he was at 41 dispelling every shit said about him in the negative! Feel like... to some who even dared too! Just watch him here..JUST AMAZING!!

[puckhead63]

Thanks Galoport for posting this amazing video...It's too bad this can't be remastered to a tv special....it is one of his best performances. He put so much into this show.....I hope Lisa Marie remembers this and cherishes that memory.

[emosaregai]

King of music, and thankyou Galoport.

[jacksbooty]

elvis had 40 gallons of his semen frozen so that dizzy bitches could be knocked up with his jizz....

[lizardladhy]

that is so rotten to say that about such a wonderful man

[CSTANCHIK]

i have a incomplete performance of this concert on vhs. its good to see this last part. very good. cstanchik

[n8trsho]

And eight short months later, he would be gone. So sad. Great to have this film. Long live the King.

[gentleonmymind1966]

SUPER!!

[shitbollocks]

In all fairness to Ginger though..She was very young & although she has put up a ring for sale...it is NOT her engagement ring..see latest edition of Essential Elvis magazine for details!..Great footage & i love this show, it was one of the last Great shows he gave!!..Always the King!

[MNag70]

Great !!!

[mariat641]

Wow! This is wonderful! thank you.

[dmljm2]

This Footage is Priceless ! Excellent Footage Of Elvis and I Own This Footage Myself on DVD and I Think I Wore It Out Already. lol Thanks For Posting My Friend !

1000* TCB DANNY

[knowingElvis]

There are so many of his powerful songs Marlene, but when you see him like this so cool so comfortable and so much in command..and when you think of the stuff everyone says about him makes me wanna....!

I know, I have seen it with my own eyes , and will never forget he was, so amazingly well here. But yea he did have those sleeping problems on and off any wonder.

[lumiru2]

Thanks kE for this excellent share!!

I just love to watch this concert footage.

LUMI

[shawent]

Fantastic footage,just goes to show the power of this man.Love him forever.

[knowingElvis]

You love him Sharon...why but I love you :) Hugs honey and yep we all don't we? Nothing to even wonder about he was worth it more than!

The King so fitting a title for this wonderful human being.

[annemaree]

Thankyou for this brilliant share!!!

Beautiful voice beautiful man!

[elvisangel2]

Just eight short months before Elvis left us and he gives a performance like no other entertainer past or present. I especially enjoy his last years performances, it seems he was pouring his heart and soul into them. His vocals are nothing short of amazing. There NEVER has been and NEVER will be another entertainer who could possibly even come close to the accomplishments of THE KING. God Bless you Elvis...

[knowingElvis]

You are right elvisangel2 I just love his performances towards the last few years of his life. His voice got stronger and more powerful if that was possible, and do did he for reasons I can't seem to place my finger on.Its weird but somehow just seemed stronger and more in command. His health was slippin BUT the last few months and that was.. from what I know boredom!

[knowingElvis]

Its easy for one to say Elvis took this or that nothing what anyone says was found in his autopsy linking it to his death nothing! That was the official report. My opinion still stands strong like so many others that his death was one of total negligence, doses of medication given by junkies and who now show the hatred and anger which was hoarded for years!

[knowingElvis]

This is 1976...just take note guys how alert how alive how powerful and agile...so when scum say he was this or that ask yourself just maybe there was nothing but what they had blown up to suit giving no answers to what exactly happened that final day. mysterious of course it has been listed yet as unsolved now why is that so? Too many unanswered questions too many and these scum were around him.!

[knowingElvis]

God see this is how powerful an effect he has on anyone, I am here again seeing it again! Elvis Live was a force like none other it had to be seen to be believe there is no explanation for what electricity he generated within one or around everything..he was just so damn electrifying awesome!

[glynamus]

i dont know what was on elvis mind but i know he could sing and bring a large crowd to scream no, no, no, when they heard the first few notes of cant help falling in love. i dont give a damn about any books, or what people think, the ones who knew elvis and worked with him did what they could in those days and i look forward to meeting him in heaven someday when its my turn to go

[knowingElvis]

I watched this for the 5th time today simply too good an amazing Elvis what a voice what great command over those God Given Vocals...man he sure was a blast of...heaven!

[knowingElvis]

Oh forgot to thank my friend Galport for this amazing video upload ! Thank you my dear friend you have given us some of the best videos! have a great week and take care where ever you are :)

[knowingElvis]

There is a true saying either a woman can lift your spirits or make you feel down in the dumps and the reason for Elvis' in a way feeling like he did other than his sickness and problems was Ginger's constant tantrums! being young Elvis was pretty tolerant but later was fed up, bored and quite sick of it all. His mood shows when he sang hurt for Linda. Actually on the damn rebound he took up with Ginger another big mistake in his life after Cilla!

[knowingElvis]

The Book Elvis What Happened their admitted it themselves calling it an act of revenge. Well we all know what that did to them and also what our eyes see now which none thought we would! Elvis performed his Katas right till the end. What ever he did was twisted and made to look differently and fans not knowing his private life and seeing him so sick which even that none knew thought the worst and fell for it!

[knowingElvis]

I meant to say PAIN she was and began to bore Elvis as well. His going thru many moods with this woman. All her mother wanted was push and push her into the relationship. Regarding the marriage plans none were a witness and I know its a story! Elvis gave rings to everyone of his women.

This woman was very much in tow with her own boyfriend Tony, Elvis got to know of this and she was on her way out.Well it didn't stop him having other women! Elvis was bored hurt by everything going on around him.

[knowingElvis]

Elvis WAS fine there is no doubt it's the damn sickos that spread wild stories that folks fell for! Just look at him here it doesn't take a genius to see altho he was pretty much tired, he was hale and well. Elvis would certainly be exhausted considering the shows he gave, and what with his change in body clock the extensive travelling, and not to mention his insomnia! He was always fit and in top gear even on August 16 th then what happened is left to you to guess believe me!

[rumianin]

The best show in 1976. It was GREAT !!!

[PARKWOODECHO]

Wow GREAT VIDEO. I have never seen this footage. Was this done on super 8 film with sound ? What was it shot on originally? Great insight on Elvis. I never heard that ending on HURT before, and on his back ! Great stuff ! Can't wait to see the rest !

[195477]

Elvis only did 1/2 a show this night..the other half was 1/1/77

[CSTANCHIK]

12-31-76 was the end of elvis busiest year. he did 100 sold out concerts did the jungleroom sessions and his daddy fired red west sonny west and dave hebler. unfortunately those bodyguards set out to destroy elvis by writing their book elvis what happened. they failed cstanchik

[TheMontgomery333]

I just want to comment , dont do this often, whew. but i tell ya e was oviously feeling fine here. i lived down the street away from him and its just a shame there wasn't more professional footage of e on those tours. I believe the tour he never gave after the 16th of august 77 would have been like this show allthough was supose to be lots of new stuff in them. He said before his passing was going to be his best tour ever. thanks for posting this it showed elvis in good shape.

[hoelshageland]

Things were coming together for Elvis at this point. New girlfriend in Ginger Alden, and it looked like the spark of life was back in him. Those last eight months of his life must have been torture for him. The clips from this December 1976 tour showed that Elvis still mastered the art that brought him worldwide fame twenty years earlier. God only knows what happened to his mental and physical being those last eight months. Incredible that it could go downhill that fast.

[knowingElvis]

what crap are you talking about hoelshageland, from where did you get those bright ideas??He was exhausted true but if anything Ginger was a real apin in the ass with all her damn tantrums and killin him with her constant running to mama as an excuse! She was the nut who put him in a state of worry. The worst thing to happen to Elvis was Ginger! Talk about her chats with the no good Stanleys behind Elvis' back! Had Linda been there and not Ginger he would be still alive!!

[ElvisFreak77]

You are right on knowing as usual, if Linda had been there he would still be here with us, I heard all about Ginger, she was just way too young for him, she did not appreciate him for the man he was, she wanted her cake and eat it too, and did you hear that she put her "engagement" ring up for auction early this month? Yeah she loved him alot didn't she, if I never knew she was no good for him I do now, what idiot would get rid of an engagement ring from Elvis? I would be buried in it.

[knowingElvis]

Honey you say buried with it don't you know there are millions who would have died to get one :) Yea she was the worst thing and with that tale of marriage, who none were a witness too. Elvis gave rings to every one of his women nothing special about that gesture ...non one buys that story about him proposing to her.Had he lived we would have known wouldn't we? Why didn't anyone voice also this when he was alive is beyond me :) Whisper like Cilla to the press!!

[ElvisTCB5150]

love the hurt repeat hitting those high notes falling on the ground just the best

[catzfoever]

Thanks for posting, Part 1 to 5!

''EXCELLANT'' !!!!!!

[ErichH68]

Elvis wearing the "Phoenix" jumpsuit. Just like the Phoenix Elvis rose out of the ashes and was reborn in this concert!!! Looking good to. Like he lost maybe 20 Lbs or something! You can see that that helped him move more and better on stage! Later that year I think that damn book his former body guards wrote really knocked him out; stealing his confidence, drive and ambition along with his self-respect. Nice going guys (sic)!!!!! BTW Thanks SO much for posting this!
