  • I want to get the mp3 version of this for my ipod, but the above link directs me to an inferior studio version. Is it possble to get this version?

  • @melvina628

    Instead of copy and pasting the url from the top, go to the "SHARE" button underneath the video and click it - a different URL will pop up...copy and paste THAT one and use it to convert this LIVE version...I just did it and it worked great!

  • I always loved the original simon and garfunkel, but the king ,is the best voice ,second to none

  • The King

  • The man with the golden touch. If any artist will be remembered from the 20th century, it will be Elvis...

  • I was lucky enough to be married to a man who was the image of Elvis. From Colne, UK. Always love him even though he fell out of love with me. You know who you are. x

  • OMG absolutely the best singer in the world. his voice is unbelievable. Makes me want to cry and I have goose bumps everytime I hear him. Long live the King.

  • My all time favorite artist. He was truly an amazing talent.

  • unbelivable sound quality well done

  • Fed lyd

  • One and only!!!

  • Who looks and sounds like that anymore? The Vegas crowd kind of luke-warm but Elvis in great form here.

  • so modern.too cool

  • fantastic version says it all 

  • Elvis you are an incredibly good ...

  • oh My God His Voice !he is Really One Of a Kind <3

  • The power the feel way he tells a song makes my skin shiver with tingles.never be a voice like this ever again

  • Performances like this send shivers throughout my soul.

    "Sail on silver girl. Sail on by.

    Your time has come to shine.

    All your dreams are on their way.

    See how they shine."

    This song has the ability to carry the heart into the sky.

  • Elvis Presley was a great singer and great performer. He was not alone during that era. You had to have the chops to get a contract back then. Today, its smoke, mirrors and manufactured sound.

  • @winsome1235 He was mostly alone. That's what happens when you're the best . No one better, ever.

  • cool. fascinating to me, the legend and his death (sounds creepy, but i dont mean it like that :D). charming past.

  • ELVIS YOU ARE UNIQUE BLESS YOU!

  • Nothing at all needs to be said.Just watch and listen.

  • amazing, strong, breathtaking. too few people feel it like that nowadays, wonder why. i wont say i dont like modern music, but i definitely dont find it that charming.

  • @veronnies know what you mean, im (surprisingly i know) a huge Dubstep fan, but this is just purely nostalgic

  • @CheZZi17 nostalgic and touching, but not in that "drama" or "sentimental" way. i remember listening to this as an experience, its beyond music for me.

  • @veronnies yes. words cannot describe it.

    have you ever heard him live?

  • @CheZZi17 no, im 19 and from the Czech Republic.. :) have you?

  • @veronnies also 19, i envy the people that have seen him live

  • @CheZZi17 totally. i bet i would be one of that all-crazy fans, because he was really worth it.

  • @veronnies haha exactly! and its not only his voice, his whole style of music was one of a kind.

    would fill my room with posters, if i were young, when he was still rocking :)

  • @CheZZi17 yeah, i actually have a poster of James Dean in my room, thats one of my idols too. i would fall for both of them right away.

  • @veronnies ahh hes quite amazing too.

    fall? you a girl :)?

  • @CheZZi17 would say so :)) do you know the legend of deans porsche?

  • @veronnies yes of course i do haha :)

  • @CheZZi17 I have an ELVIS room and guss what? I am 71. Been there from the beginning and still am a fanatic fan to this day.My 22 yr old granddaughter took me to Graceland for my 69th birthday. Lived in Syria for 2 yrs and toured all over but that was the best. I want to go back. Love everything ELVIS!!!

  • @tinker75686 That was amazing of your daughter! She must have been raised well :)

    I envy you. I have always wanted to see Elvis live. But singing along-side my father in the living room with the radio all the way up am i happy for too :)

  • @CheZZi17

    I was lucky enough to see Elvis "live". His charisma was unmatched. Truly blessed with something special. His version of this was incredibly moving.

  • @Rescuebroke and did you see him sing this exact song too?? im so jealous

  • you can tell he had alot of fun singing this song. just amazing!

  • just incredible

  • these are the nicest done versions i have ever heard. i seen Elvis sing this at the Hilton...this sound is much more like what he actually sounded like.

  • Beautiful and meaningful!!! 

  • 本当にラスベガスのINTERNATIONAL HOTELでショーを聞いてるようだ!!スゲー!! ARIGATOU FROM JAPAN

  • This is not a song when Elvis sings it, its a prayer. It is Christ telling you how much He loves you and will do for you in that Love. GOD bless JB

  • Love his glance back at 2:50!! :-)

  • Best part from 3:10!!

  • No one has his voice.

  • this was at the international hotel in vegas. 1969-1972. the dinner show was 15.00 per person. 32.90 with tax for 2

  • music from the 60's the best of all Elvis

  • quality

  • sing it again,

    my old friend,

    hound dog man.

  • Elvis, sempre Elvis. É só!!!!!

  • oh God.  i cry for the beauty of this man

  • @softshoe1959 he doesn't have it anymore he lost it! :)

  • Elvis did an excellent cover of this Simon and Garfungle classic but still lacked something but nevertheless had Elvis sang it first it would of went to #1 on the top 40 charts nevertheless cause he was Elvis...nobody til this day had replaced the king and to think of all the movies he starred in,,even John Travolta has alot of catching up tp do!

  • Imagine you are Simon or Garfunkel, and you know Elvis has sang one of your songs... What an honor!

  • @BennyBlancoDaBronx They attended at one of the conserts and said later that this was how they wanted the song to be like.

  • @Norwegian733

    Elvis had a gift, to make any song he sang "his" song... Other great examples are "The wonder of you" and "You don' t have to say you love me".

  • amazing bravoooo....

  • Amazing how Elvis could take an already popular song and simply make it his own with his sheer talent.

  • Great sound man....Thank you !

  • BEAUTIFUL!! THANKS YOUTUBE FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO! I LOVE YOU ELVIS RIP!

  • Absolutely fantastic! Thank you SO much for posting this version.

  • Elvis you bring a piece of God to the earth when you sing this and so many songs like that! Tremendous voice and singing! Be always with the Lord.

  • So long Elvis - so long Brother

  • whaooo steady on tiger's, take a chill pill. I don't want to get into one of those youtube arguments across the pond. I love elvis. Does the best version of my way by far and adore the american trilogy. Just voiced an opinion thats all.

  • One of the only preformers that i would trust to cover this song

  • Superb - Thank you

  • sung from the inner soul..............

  • I attended this exact concert...this is the recording that best shows the real sound and acustics that Elvis had in this concert...He was the most fantastic singer i have ever seen to this date...and i have seen most every single  singer perform. There really are no runners up!

  • @kalyn107

    Lucky you! Wish I had been old enough to see Elvis is 1970. How close to the stage were you?

  • When Elvis sings he touched every soul of his audience. What a great voice he had.

  • only elvis could get away with a cover version of such a classic song. lets not be silly though once you have listened to this version listen to the original by s an g and you will know that the original is by far the best.

  • @gingerskater666 then why don't you go and listen to that! This is for Elvis fans and the very best version for them! You do not come to Elvis' page and take away credit from him and give it to another! Even S n G admitted this is the best version of their own song!

  • @gingerskater666 Yea okay. You smoking something? Elvis, 1.5 BILLION albums/singles sold. Simon and Garfunkel, not even close!!!

  • so beautiful, thank you for sharing, this man was one of a kind, also the King of rock and roll....

  • Oh um goose bumps.

  • With the music industry the way it is now (image/aimed at teenage girls Bieber/Gaga/Del Rey) I can say with utter confidence there will never be another Elvis, The Beatles, Cat Stevens, Aimee Mann just those shit artists already listed and more dubstep types. In some ways its great to be from this generation (greater understanding of science, religion retreating etc) but also the worst (shit music, world being destroyed and the media being horrendous)

  • the impact.... when he just stood and sang....what aman, what a singer, what a performer. He made this performance look so simple. Simply wonderful.

  • Fantastic

    

  • What Voice.

  • Damn, what a cover!

  • I just love Elvis

    why does everyone think i'm weird or crazy and remind me he died thirty odd years ago when I talk about him and play his music? they say his music is loosing touch but I don't think it ever will.

  • this was good. i dont like Elvis.....at all.....and this made me wish that could like his music. becaues i KNOW he has a verry unique and awesome voice...i just dont like his music. this how ever was great.

  • @onebigmess253 Haha, if you think this was great, then you obviously like him. Just not all his songs.

  • Thank you!

  • I saw both Elvis and Garfunkel sing this live. While Garfunkel's version was lovely, Elvis's version gave me goosebumps and touched my soul. He was "the bridge over troubled water" when singing. Unforgettable. 

  • @Rescuebroke I would like to back your statement up. I saw Elvis sing this in 1972 in Indianapolis, I am a typical male and Elvis came within a fraction of bringing me to tears! I'm 60 years old now and my sister, who was with me, still says he will never forget the expression that was on my face that night Elvis sang this! I'm not sure if Elvis was a Godsend, not that religious, but something was going on with this guy! Too much talent, looks and a great guy too! Hard to explain?

  • @1mparcher He volunteered to help that's all and God bless humanity! Elvis was sent! :)

    God bless you too bro!

  • @Rescuebroke agree..

  • In fact Elvis didn,t like the title KING ( as MJ does) there was only one king for him and that was Jesus Christ. Man he was realy the greatest artist of all time and will never be forgotten. Even when we all passed away there will still be ELVIS PRESLEY. Simply because he was so totall and most off all he was human. And damn your right it will be this way

  • @DonvanderDeijl Right on, which is why WE still call Elvis King. He had a fantastic voice, a beautiful soul, and was one of the most down to earth people in show business. TCE.

  • All those reactions here some off them negative blaming hum for anything. Sad . i,m a musician myself and i can tell you one thing: There are a lot off singers which are good or even better than Elvis., But Listen the way he sings some off the songs and you know waht makes the different. The man had so much power and feelin in his voice UNBELIEVEBLE. Listen to his last version off unchained Melody and you feel the pain, Which any artist can do that? That faker without a nose? Don,t think so

  • One off the most beatiful versions off this song, beter than Carfunkel. From his toes he is singing. His voice was SOOOO great

  • Not interested in the Debate going on below me. All I know is this is FANTASTIC!!!! Thank you for posting this, truly Amazing song sung by the King. I Love You Elvis!!!!

  • INTERPRETATION OF THE BEST EVER 

  • Ok ok, you've won me over. The man was a musical genious! NOT! Ha! You know you've lost the arguement when you have to resort to using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS in your reply, and insulting someone who just happens to disagree with your opinion! Angry, much? When I said he was ripping off black artists, I meant, obviously, artists in the rock and roll genre, not mainstream. He himself cited these artists as an influence, so where's the arguement? You need to broaden your musical knowledge somewhat.

  • If you don't like Elvis? Quit going to his video's..He is the King Of music..screw M.J. :)

  • Keep the remastered versions coming, I love them.

  • I didn't mean to compare Elvis with our Lord Jesus Christ,i ment that he's the King of Rock 'n 'roll.

  • wish you were still here Elvis! a great song, also a great version! A man who could sing anything! is anyone able to  sing any type of music now?

  • Where can i get the audio from this?

  • @TonyJackMusic google youtube to mp3 converter and use that to download the audio for this. it's not high quality audio, but that is what I did ;0

  • Opinions are like assholes, evaone has one ... \m/.. we just need to respect each others, dz how we learn from each other.. peace forever .. LOve this song ..Elvis was great ..\m/..p.e.a.c.e.

  • lol at the people starting arguments here. get some taste people. this is an absolutely amazing rendition of the song and anyone with half a brain would be able to tell that.

  • yes this is another light to my life

  • And to the future comments challenging what I say, I think I'll just let Elvis take it from here. Actions speak way louder than words. TCB

  • Once again , Your postings of this concert are really super . Really nice job with these postings .

    I think it is a great version of this song . A very strong powerful version . Love it .

  • ⊰♥Chelsey Loves Elvis♥⊱

  • theres always going 2 b idiote- R.I.P. King

  • Great song !!!

  • Yeah Elvis! 50,0000 Elvis fans can't be wrong! Thank you very much!

  • well that crowd was... dead! should have been a standing ovation and with huge applause!

  • @ThePussycats3

    Are u serious?.........one of the STUPIDEST comments I ever read here. I sense a bit of jealousy or bitterness? He hasn't been THE KING for the past 56 years FOR NOTHING! He made this song HIS OWN. So if u don't like it, move on to something else. Absolutely ridiculous.

  • @Phoenix7878 Hey, be cool! It's not like I called your Mum a nasty name or anything! We're all entitled to our opinion, and I have expressed mine! If you're honest, you MUST agree that he ripped off every black artist he encountered when he was starting out, and it was only due to racial prejudice at that time, that they never got the breaks HE, as a white performer got. And before you even think it, I'm white! Yes he was the King.........BURGER KING!

  • @ThePussycats3

    Some advice: don't EVER do stand-up. And yes u are entitled to your opinion, the problem is that it sucks. You're a victim of the media's spin on Elvis. And if u don't believer me, ask yourself something....If what you're saying is true, I'm pretty sure Elvis would have faded away because he "ripped off black artists" & because it was a very turbulent time in the '50's & he was white. So why then is he arguably the biggest phenomenon in history? Hmmm...

  • @ThePussycats3 If there was so much racial prejudice when Elvis started why are 14 of the top 20 best sellers in theUS darkies

  • the king,what a voice.fuckin great.

  • @kooshconti Now you're just being silly. The biggest phenomenon in history? Apart from Einstein, Gutenberg, Columbus, Ts'ai Lun etc of course? Reality check please! You may like his voice, but lets keep it in context! The Burger King jibe was crass, but ask any non 'fan' what Elvis is remembered for, and they will surely reply, 'Dying on the toilet'! Sad, but true. Now, I'm going to do something more interesting with my time! Goodbye.

  • @ThePussycats3 Elvis changed the world

  • @TheOnlyOneKingElvis

    for the greater good!

  • @ThePussycats3 no dude Elvis was found dead there! The guy death was fishy lots of jealous bastards around him! He died on the very same day he was packing up and flying on tour! His death was also unexpected he was found face swollen and purplish, his tongue was sticking out of his mouth and his eyeballs were blood red! They couldn't recognize him when he was found! Elvis was actually killed probally choked to death! Elvis isn't sad it humanity that's sad!

  • @TimeChaser123 Yes, those are signs of being choked to death, his murder was concealed , still is. The Coroner was paid off as were other ppl.I'm convinced his EVIL ex wife had him killed.Notice how fast she just took things over.

  • @thecolaratlady But the truth NEVER stays hidden forever bro! The true cause of Elvis death was indeed concealed! You could be right his ex-wife was prolly behind it! There was also a poor autopsy report done on his cause of death! It was never done properly! :)

    his TRUTH is marching on like the man himself said! God bless you sis!

  • @TimeChaser123 GOD BLESS YOU BRO!

  • @ThePussycats3 Are you truly this stupid???????? music..by both whites as well as blacks and including hispanics did MORE for civil rights then all of the marches, speeches COMBINED. btw..Chris Tief Come Rob us was a MURDERING THIEF! you dont like his music then why are you even here jackass?

  • @thecolaratlady Enough with the 'stupid' insults. It's too easy to just call someone stupid, who happens to disagree with your opinion or taste. I'm not the one using bad grammer in my replies! Non whites and ethnic minorities did not get the air play or publicity that whites, who ripped off their sound, got. FACT! Look at a history book sometime. It is also a fact that Elvis NEVER wrote a musical note in his life. He was, at best, a caricature of himself! An unintelligent oik.

  • @ThePussycats3 Yup, you are truly that STUPID! LIKE IT OR NOT, WHERE THE HELL YOU THINK THAT MUSIC CAME FROM? IT CAME ,ELVIS HIMSELF SAID THAT IT WAS A HUGE INFLUENCE FROM THE MINORITY PEOPLE! AMAZING LOL GO TO ANOTHER PAGE IF YOU DONT LIKE WHAT PPL ARE SAYING DAMN JACKASS

  • @ThePussycats SUCCESSFUL AFRICAN AMERICAN SINGERS IN THE 1950'S : Ella Fitzgerald,Sarah Vaughn,Dinah Washington,Duke Ellington,Ray Charles,Little Richard,. Fats Domino, Chuck Berry,Harry Belafonte,Nat King Cole, The Platters,and even MORE.all of these ppl had VERY SUCCESSFUL careers in the music industry and was listened to by not only black but whites as well.And Amazing,they ALL received ALOT of airplay smh,Elvis IS still 1 of the most popular singers of all time.what a dumbass

  • Your postings are super . This is great . Lets not forget he had some of the best musicians in that band and some of the best back up singers that carried alot of those songs over the years .

  • @JazzzDrummer

    oh ok, so that's what makes him THE KING. Now it all makes sense

  • @Phoenix7878 I see your Not a musician and do not know just how good his band and back up singers were . The use of the word King might of worked 30 yrs ago . I do like him on alot of songs .....But his voice was not the best as alot think . And you seem to be very bitter . Do not forget how he ruined his own life with drugs . That was His choice and it was a very poor choice .

  • @JazzzDrummer

    oh here we go. YOU see my friend, I AM a musician and he picked the best band because he knew much more about music that most give him credit. The word King seems to still work fine today, that's what separates him from everyone else. As far as his voice, THE BEST. And as for the last part of ur comment, educate yourself before u run him down. I know more about that stage of his life than most, so PM me if u wanna get schooled, U seem to be the bitter one?

  • @Phoenix7878 From all your comments to people I do not belive you are a musician and If you are , Your not highly trained in music .

    No idea why you are going off on some ...... Being a musician I only put what I like on my channel .... And I have to like everything about it . I think he did great with this And I do like a few others of his . But do I think he was the best .... No I do not .

  • @Phoenix7878 ...lol...ur comment is right on!..some people are really jealous of Elvis!

  • @JazzzDrummer i'm 18 years old i like to take this moment to apologize for my generations music to all. i'm sorry

  • @johnlennon1970 That's why good music is TIMELESS...

  • @DeadAssassinGuild oh yh absolutely! Good music is timeless! :)

  • @johnlennon1970 On behalf of my generation, I would like to say that I forgive you. But I just can't. Sorry.

  • @johnlennon1970 i love this you love my kind of music xx

  • @johnlennon1970 Very Humble and Mature young man, a credit to your Parents

  • @johnlennon1970 you are a very wise guy with a good taste for music.

  • @johnlennon1970 - Your comment moved me to tears. Someone understands. Thank You.

  • @JazzzDrummer Elvis could carry himself!!!!!!!!

  • I wish the video would be as clear :)

    ....but thanks for an excellent audio upload...awesome vocals by EP (RIP).

  • Not an over dub, not a multi voice track and absolutely definitely NOT an auto-tuner in sight. Just one of the worlds greatest entertainers singing. Of course its not the same as Artie! but it most assuredly IS The King! Such a shame this wasn't filling stadia the world over rather than restricting himself to the Vegas years.

  • @TigerGuy13 blame that Parker over worked him and rest is history and all Elvis hates

    leave us alone

    Elvis was and still is greatest enterainer this world ever had RIP Elvis xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • He needed uppers and downers for more than sleeping. He took tablets to eat,he took tablets to shit. It had a lot to do with the fact that even though he could sing, he could do fuck all else. The fat fuck couldn't read or write.

  • @alslevie1986 And while you are thinking about eating and shiting, just listen his singing

    ..

  • I'm speechless. The King!

  • Elvis had a great voice, no question but for this song it has to be Art.

  • No one sings live better than Elvis, no one in the history of the world.

  • Great job with this post !!

  • good song for elvis

  • If Elvis were still alive he would be against SOPA/PIPA

    That aside, I love Elivs

  • This is as good as it gets. Awesome performance and great sound. RIP KING.

  • he is dead.its a exemple to not use.he was not that bad.mister eap.

  • @wivineable

    ok....what does that have to do with this video???????

  • i love Elvis always

  • Great performance... but the 1972 version is miles ahead

  • he has the most amazing voice in the history...of it all
