Elvis Presley backstage before concert 1977

[1956564346]

Is just me or does the little girl look like cindy lou ho from the grinch.

[TheFarmerfitz]

I under estamated it... I highly recomend getting a box of kleenex before watching....

[TheFarmerfitz]

This was probably the highlite of his whole night....brought tears to my eyes!!!

[STONECOLD1987]

Wow i wonder how old that little girl is now! Elvis truly had a special heart. Viva Elvis 

[FEVER55555]

elvis looks a little short there slightly puffy but in shape that suit must have been very uncomfortable & hot

[bilvis48]

WHAT A KIND AND BEAUTIFUL SOUL THAT MAN HAD...ALOT OF OTHER ENTERTAINERS WOULD HAVE BLOWN THAT OFF...BUT HE TOOK THE TIME TO MAKE THAT LITTLE GIRL FEEL SPECIAL AND LOVED!!

[hankloveification]

Miss him so much....I wish he would have called me.......

[supermix0]

This peace was awesome ...loved it !

[gayl09]

If this was him, which I am sure it was, he does not look like the real Elvis. He looks like a fat Elvis impersonator. Yes, I know Elvis was fat, but at least you could tell it was Elvis. He must have been very pathetic at this point. I wonder if he was diabetic, I am sure he was not health conscious. I am under the impression that due to drugs & alcohol he would not be motivated in taking care of himself.

[curtknows101]

@gayl09 Yes Elvis was in poor health, mostly genetics, as far as i know alcohol was not involved in it, prescription uppers and downers were, 19,000 doses were prescribed to him in the last three months of his life, duppression also played a role, he died just three days after the anniversary of his mother years before, but thats the way it was rite or wrong, he gave it his all, and we took it all, more than he could give in fact, it was destiny, thankyou Elvis, thankyou very much!!!!!!

[qqsomething]

@gayl09 Just the fact you mentioning alcohol shows you're a complete ignorant about Elvis. He hated alcohol, and rarely drank in his 42 years of life....and the drugs were prescribed pills.....hate ignorants like you, who know nothing and come here, see some footage, and think they know it all.....go learn some real history on the KING....oh, and FUCK YOU ASSHOLE

[gayl09]

@qqsomething I do not think that I know it all. Evidently you think you do, when you say that I think that I know it all. Why don't you do your family & friends a favor & find someone to change your diapers & apply some ointment to your diaper rash. Better yet find a good psych Dr. and get on some mood stabilizers.

[gayl09]

@qqsomething @qqsomething Yes, I got to thinking about it and like curtknows101 politely reminded me that Elvis did not drink. I do remember this about him. You said that he "rarely drank" (?) Were you there? You jump onto me, call me ignorant, and say F### YOU ###HOLE & you are saying the same thing that I said. That he drank. (?) I was just calmly making a statement & you R jumping down my throat & cursing @ me?

[TheFarmerfitz]

@gayl09 This was most definatly him... This is a close up of a very sick man going out to give it his all, for the last time of his life... Very sad to watch...and you can tell he was enjoying his short visit with that little girl... that was not an act... this is the way he really was with people!!!

[curtismoff]

I saw him live that year I was 13 and with my Aunt who was more like a mother to me.He never lost his incredible voice He was tired and sick looking but it was the best show I will ever see no one has come close to his talent.I think I have every song he ever recorded on my I-Pod People look at me funny and laugh when I have in cranked up in my car.I have turned many people on the King

[VIDEOTIMEMACHINE]

Elvis was a class act even at the end. What a loss.

[scoobydoabccba123]

scoobydoabccba123 IS ME , a.e. presley,

[89ford150302]

@scoobydoabccba123 if your so open in saying that, then why don't share a pic or a video, cause your channel don't show anything, just saying in a comment, I him, anyone can do that

[scoobydoabccba123]

i am so tired of this . I AM ALIVE , my lord god , all of you need to get a life, i left , exit stage left people , i am NOT dead,' just be me' just one minute, one minute people, in 1977 , you would too , you know what i mean, all of my last concert songs should tell you i was leaving , NOW , leave me alone

[MRCORNERHOUSE]

TCB☺

[Pickher]

this is so sad to see - he went down so quick. It's easy to blame those around him for not intervening, and refer to them as "leeches" etc, but how do you save a man from himself? I think those guys cared about him way more than is believed, but were just helpless bystanders at the end...

[diagreen]

THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL RIGHT THERE.u can't fake this.he loved kids

[whatsinanameble]

this is heart breakin........

[matveisbc]

hes so fuked up thats sad

[MrGuitartramp]

He looks like Ralph Krambden.

[favre16]

Elvis was the best...no matter what! People that disagree, they will soon find out!

[sugarplumfairiie]

He could have chose to rest in bed at home, and get some care for himself, but this proves he was not vain and always the King.

His weight is not even even that bad, especially in todays standards. It looks like water weight, gained from hypertension. Proper rest and time out could have saved his life. Even if his first heart attack had not have been fatal, he was just unlucky to drop dead with his first attack. Or maybe he was lucky...He lived an amazing life, maybe he was bored.

[mpjgbx]

He's bloated as hell. Such a pity.

[oldschool525]

Elvis was the best and there is no doubt about it.

[TrainBridge1]

Ya know he wasn't a huge monster..he looked ok to me!!!..He gained some weight in his belly and face..but that aint sh!t as far as most people who get older !..he could have lost that in a few months or less!...i think he still looked ok! ( yes i know about the drugs) yes not the Elvis of old but hey who looks like they did when they were in their teens or twenties?.......and what a kind man he was !..he gave so much money away to all the hanger on's!.....he didn't live a normal life.

[twostrokeornill1]

@TrainBridge1 True, he looked like a sick guy but was still presentable. Here he was in the advanced stages of multiple major organ failure. Most of the weight was water due to failed liver and kidneys.

[DeisyO]

He is the best, and always

[shannonD68]

E was sweating perfusely and kept shaking his head like he was snapping out of something. As poorly as he looked in health, he NEVER lost his singing voice. Not every singer past his/her prime today can have that said about them.

[vxenon67]

What happen to the girl. "Where are they now?" i would like to know.  A kiss from Elvis...

[wouldntyoulike2know]

He looked really tired. That is sad, he just needed some rest.

[qqsomething]

He could be completed stoned om pills, but his natural humility always came first.....what a great human being Elvis was

[favre16]

If they're is gods out there, he is one of them, that's for sure!

[Akeuw]

@cjzzzzz Troll alert! People don't feed the trolls. (Please don't reply to him like I just unfortunately did)

[colin7983]

do you know whats so sad he was dieing there

[bretoff]

He looks really loaded, at 1:50 look how he shakes his head & looks like he's having difficulty standing, he needed a lengthly re-hab & rest, he was basically run into the ground by his own people needing a paycheck, RIP, E.

[patmix]

RAPID CITY ROCKS!!!!!

[kitkat101rocks1]

I wish I was backstage!!!! Good job Elvis!!! Luv ya!!! RIP ELVIS!!

[joealanouf]

evises sweat wipeing guy ( payed ofcorce) sold the rags out back,still damp.

[scargriff49]

@joealanouf you know that isnt true..what a dunce!

[joealanouf]

@scargriff49 most likely

[2hamboigahs]

No disrespect but he looked like a zombie. Was this near the end?

[Disinclinator]

Whoa!Elvis at 1:45 I think he was about to fall out.Fuck the vultures that made big bucks off of him.Elvis you did real good,man.RIP E.

[dsadler21]

This video is really creepy..... Watch the 68 unplugged material. Elvis was light, charming, and full of life. In this clip, he cant even introduce himself to the girls mother.. He isn't even capable of have a convo with anybody but his road crew. Truly the best but so tarnished at the end....

[notredamehesamighty]

Good Lord was this man on his deathbed or what. Totally unreal that he could even stand up. He needed rehab and hospital bed at this point. This video is SCARY. RIP King... you deserved better.

[diagreen]

THE KING

[MrPicroute]

The rats around him... Poor Elvis.....

[myfriendangel1]

this man was a god send and nobody will ever tell me different 

[thecubanism]

What a shame, my idol didn't have an inkling what was going on, he was on druggieautopilot, I can understand his predicament, a poor white trash individual becoming the biggest star the world has ever seen, it would be too much for anmyone especially one with a manager like Parker, that bastard booked him into Vegas at cut-price rates just to fund his gambling habit,Rest In Shit, parker.

[mommastcb]

@thecubanism You do realize that a person can be poor and not be white trash!! What a foul statement.

[ElvisWelt]

king of kings

[onstageagain]

Look how sweet he leaned over and said Hi, then he ask ... do we have something to give her? He loved little girls , he had one of his own. Love you Elvis !

[weskittun]

charming to the girl

[wayneypayney]

why is it inblack and white?

was colour not invented back in 1977?

[d4seasons]

@wayneypayney it was probably fimed by a home movie camera. color TV was first shown in 1944 by RCA.

[scvbtr]

HE SEEMS REALLY DRUGED. GOD BLESS EM.

[HopiRaven]

I consider myself so fortunate to have seen him perform. He was a once in a lifetime man, and we will miss him forever.

Thank You for posting this!

[daveyanna]

@HopiRaven .. oh hello. I hope you don't mind my asking you but I'm the biggest Elvis fan and I just wondered what it was like seeing him live. Did he say anything funny and .. what were your impressions of the show. Did you worry that he was dying or anything? I became an Elvis fan when I was 11 (on the night he died .. such luck!) and I have fantasies that I could go back in time and warn him! Were you close to the stage? Did you get a staff? kindest Anna (An Elvis fan) uh huh huh.

[HopiRaven]

I consider myself so fortunate to have seen hi perform. He was a once in a lifetime man, and we will miss him forever.

Thank You for posting this!

[richierichnumber1]

He looked kind of creepy towards the end though

[gheideveld1]

Pijnlijk om te zien dat Elvis zich kennelijk zo beroerd voelde maar toch heel aardig was tav het meisje. En toen moest hij nog optreden! Hoe heeft hij dat toch gedaan?

[carmyusa]

up to the very end he was so very kind, he was so worried that the little girl would not leave without a little something from him...

[searchlight18]

@jcraigb1 What a gentleman he was.But,it is evident he's stoned and needs help.Those enablers leeched off

Elvis.

Too bad no one helped him It's like Howard Hughes.No one relly cared...

[Fodderingham]

Elvis was a true gentleman. I wish he had taken some time to get his life back in order .

[bthedirtydog]

Elvis was a man with class. Something that is sorely missed today. I was about as young as that girl when this was taken. Elvis could teach the musicians of today a thing or two about dignity, that's for sure. Rest In Peace Elvis.

[CAMARO30082]

in the video you can tell elvis is high as a mutha fucka! alright elvis!! (:>)

[bigmankurt]

elvis got madel of life and died a month later ?

[goodkarma33]

Strungout...you see, Elvis would forgive your sorry ass, whereas I can not. Thats what made him the KING.

[MrPagonisl]

ligo prin to telos

[murphyfisher]

hey biograph1985 are you serious the medical doctors killed him its called death by poylpharmacy.

[Biograph1985]

God, if only the people that knew him could have had him committed for medical treatment. He was destroying himself and nobody could do anything about it.

[beatlenut65]

He was the King because he was humble.

[CHIPHXMAN]

Truly this amazing man is in Heaven singing with the angels. Im only 26 and I wish I was alive when Elvis was. Truly the greatest performer in the history of music.

[guysolbgmn]

WOW!!! I had no idea Rosie O' Donnal did such an amazing Elvis impersonation. What a moving tribute to the King of Rock and Roll

[Moseslawgiver]

@guysolbgmn

Don't be such a dick.

[zazozung]

It's so obvious that Elvis was in a great deal of pain at this point in his life, mental and physical. I hope he found peace. Long live The King.

[kokirielf]

They should release the 3 Concerts on DVD. The Elvis In Concert CBS TV Special was a compilation of the Rapid City and Omaha concerts. Both of which exist in it's entirety as a bootleg complete with counter at the bottom. Despite many pleas from Elvis fans, the EPE refuse to release them blaming the press and general public citing "They emphasize and exaggerate the tragedy and sadness of the last years of his life too much".

:(

[lilmisssparra]

hes always so nice to people in interviews and such. he was so famous, yet he didnt let on like that. he was so kind and sweet and thankful to be there. so humble. he just acted....normal.

[tracytcb111111111111]

i love this clip elvis was so kind sweet and gentle he wanted to give the little girl a scaf with her giving him something he was such a giving man and i love him so much it dose bring a tear to my eyes to see him like that but he never lost his good looks or his great voice elvis is home now and he is happy the only ones that are hurtting are the ones he left he will remain in my heart untill its my turn to leave this earth ive been a fan for 23 years and always will be RIP our beloved elvis

[shamrockgerry]

my heart hurts to see that hes like that ,but his grace was unreal....even with that little girl.....a king he was and still is...elvis the king of rock n roll,

[ksbonneau]

How I wish I was that girl standing there, one lucky kid!

[Machomannorway]

How on earth could anyone let this man perform on stage in the condition he was in at this point...? It`s totally incomprehensible even 33 years later. I wonder if he had any idea where he was at all. For those of us who has seen "The CBS Tapes", his two concerts in Rapid City and Omaha showed that his death was logic.

[sulivan623]

its must be witschcraft wow------

[sulivan623]

elvis is fat??  noooo...........he was the cutest and sweetest king of the whole world

[chrcar57]

what a kind/generous man Elvis was..such genuine niceness about him...towards fans..

[ReeseMac]

I think that old man sitting down at 1:54 is his dad......is it?

[tracytcb111111111111]

@ReeseMac yes that was his dad veron. veron went to all elvis shows when veron got out of hosptail he went back on the road with him elvis even got veron up on stage with him at one of his shows

[TopJimmyWinn]

This was obviously before the HD Cam Corder was invented. LOL

[Haven2U]

That Wayne Newton, upt to his old tricks again....now impersonating Elvis.

[itsjustme2919]

holy crap you can tell he's sloshed! He's not with it. He's in another world. Sad.

[blazak]

Obesity kills.

[osvaldorsc]

Always Elvis...

[TheMemphisSlim]

The medallion of LIfe must not work well though.. months later that same year.....

[hermanglimsher]

Most people don't know this but Elvis was almost broke in 1977.

He had to keep performing even though he obviously shouldn't have.

[Haven2U]

@hermanglimsher I was almost broke in 1977



[MrElvis96]

@hermanglimsher Yes, due to Colonel Tom Parker. He took everything and gave nothing back. Nothing but a low-down leech. Poor, poor Elvis. R.I.P.

[studentrebel]

Looking at this video, I can't help saying that those who were present there were the

luckiest people in the world. They had the privilege of actually seeing him in the flesh. Thats really awesome.

[rizzlelizzle89]

he was like,, STOP touching my face.. lol... I love elvis.... he is in peace now

[jgraglan]

Yeah, I'll take illegal weed over the legal stuff he was taking anyday.

[itsjustme2919]

@jgraglan yes but it becomes illegal if not taken correctly for the right ailments. So it was illegal because it was prescribed illegally by a doctor for sicknesses he didn't have. Besides addiction.

[jgraglan]

This ain't Elvis. It's some kind of monster created by drugs!

[diagreen]

THE MAN

[KrystalRivers]

Have not scene him before so close to his final days. Im choked up I wish I didnt watch this. But I will remeber him the way Im sure he wants us to full of life and being the king. <3

[sixstrings2]

My god he looks terrible, such a waste......

[jazzyjaz04]

elvis is off his head on drugs on here as you can tell he cant move much and also cant talk much and eyes almost closed

[Hemulen40]

Gentle Giant King ! ( :

[SuperGraceland]

that girl liked elvis' kiss

[eikifr]

I absolutely love Elvis and will always do but it really hurts to see him like this. He clearly isnt in the right mindset in this video eventhough he tries his best mainly through the use of pills...sadly. Really hurts to see a good man go like that.

[mskittykatty]

Elvis always and 4ver. he was humble and so beautiful. I will always cherish him. he is the king. rip

[foxyjoe11]

Elvis was a true warm hearted person,he loved everybody,his faith ,his music,his family,he is still a,role model for lots of people today,to a true Elvis fan he plays a big part in there lives every day,god bless Elvis.

[anthony19678]

God ole Elvis genirous right till the end .what a great role model for the kids. I mean that tony in australia

[Sasuke006]

thats so sweet. i never really listened to elvis's music that much but he seems like a very nice person

[elviswasSTRUNGOUT]

nice hair helmet fat boy

[iirmo]

Strung NUT..

Even if you spend the rest of your life trying to HURT Elvis... YOU CAN NOT...!

You see most of his fans KNOW about his problems and faults and STILL LOVES HIM..

Because, his personality was uniqe. He WAS a person with a BIG Heart filled with LOVE for other people... As I said before... YOU could learn a LOT from him!!!!

But then again to be able to Love you need a heart.. so I guess not..

[shawent]

strungout,envy is such an unattractive quality.

God bless Elvis,possibly the most perfect looking human being ever.

[elviswasSTRUNGOUT]

He gets you hard, doesn't he?

You like to put on a gi and fondle yourself when you think of him....

[MrElvis96]

@elviswasSTRUNGOUT Goodness me aren't you a worthless waste of space. You just can't stand the fact that you are a skid mark on the human race. People like you disguist me.

[shawent]

strungout, tell me,in fact tell us all,why do you hate Elvis so much?Why do you have to put him down and post your filthy comments.I think we have met before when you had another username.Give it up man.

[elviswasSTRUNGOUT]

Give up what?

Now answer my question.

[shawent]

What question?That ridicilous thing you posted?I am female,so the answer to your question is no.Give up pissing off Elvis fans and give up talking crap about him.Now you answer my question.

[MrElvis96]

@elviswasSTRUNGOUT This is how you spend your life? Posting disguisting comments for people you don't even like. You are scum personified.

[MrElvis96]

@elviswasSTRUNGOUT This is how you spend your life? Posting disguisting comments for people you don't even like. You are scum personified. Now get some respect and grow a pair.

[MrElvis96]

@elviswasSTRUNGOUT Fact for ya'. Elvis wasn't fat at all, his bowels just didn't function properly it was all liquid. As he qouted in the book 'If I Can Dream,' he said: ''Everyone thinks I'm just plain fat. They don't understand that it's fluid; my intestines don't function right.'' So there you go. Get your facts right before you tear into Elvis Presley. He was, and remains a fabulous human being. Why don't you research him? You might just learn something.

[enoch6977]

What a truly decent loving man!

[sakinehbs]

He is so nice, we love you Elvis.

[evergreencreativeart]

Elvis was so Thoughtful!!
