Elvis Come Back Special 1968 (Pt. 2)

[dfrye4]

Love Elvis but taking the Super 400 from Scotty was a huge mistake. His awesome fills are noticably missing throughout the rest of the performance.

[shordyinabox]

I like how at the end he jokeingly says "... I don't know what i'm talking about" but everything he is saying is so true.

[toby099]

led zeppelin and the beatles were both like nervous little schoolgirls when they met elvis

he was the king of rock and roll, end of story

[3434arc1]

@toby099 You are exactly right and they were the two greatest bands in rock history so it just goes to show the respect that Elvis commanded among the absolute cream of the crop.

[Chadt6]

The best!!!!!!!!!!!

[valmikecal1]

Even though he didn't write his music, he surpassed all others in his unbelievable performances!!!

[rhythmmist]

Elvis was GREAT.....but unfortunately, he didn't write any of his songs...or compose any of his songs.

The Beatles, Michael Jackson...composed MUSIC.

Long live the KING ! : )

[ale9262]

@rhythmmist that's because he composed with his musicians, together.

[lsvtecb18c1]

just hearing him talk is more entertaining than the shit "musicians" we have today...

[EShpprd]

i was never a huge elvis fan until seeing this and noticing the personality behind the music.

[hpavin53]

The end of an era labeled as a "comeback". By 1968 Elvis was out of style with what was becoming popular in music. Don't get me wrong, he was great for his time but by 68 that time was past, even he knew it. Look at what his musicians were wearing compared to the style at that time, they look like a 50's Las Vegas nightmare. Lucky for Elvis he looked good in leather and he still had some musical chops.

[willywirth1]

thank you, thank you, thank you....great hug from Buenos Aires-Argentina LONG LIVE THE KING

[jackson12324]

tobad he stole all his music from blacks

[willywirth1]

@jackson12324 too good for some of these "blacks" who went rich when he recorded some of their songs ;>)

[karlatart21]

@jackson12324 @jackson12324 Spare me. That is like saying Charlie Pride "stole" his music from whites or other nonsense.

We pride ourselves on seeing past the color of our skin to the person & talent underneath.......so how did he steal it? Elvis grew up singing that music. Why all of a sudden does the color of his skin matter? Without that voice there would have been nothing to talk about period. He didn't get THAT from anyone.

[NYjoshK1]

Man if Elvis was still alive wouldnt he of been Great as a late night talk show host? maybe not so great now cuz he would be 76 in a few days but imagine the rateings he would have gotten!! ELVIS would have also been the KING of Late Night telivision too!! If he wanted to be funny he was very funny... Long live the KING OF MUSIC!!

[willywirth1]

@NYjoshK1 agree

[bellyMel19]

oh my..... I'm going to *faint*..... what a king

[felixq78]

Scotty Moore, Elvis's inspirational guitarist, was asked to be part of the Las Vegas band but he refused in disgust when told what they were paying, it was an insult especially when he was earning 4 times as much in the studio. He was worth it and in view of their history together they should have paid him what he wanted especially because his playing was an intrigal part of the Elvis Presley Band's sound during the 1950s. The Colonel was responsible I hope.

[willywirth1]

@felixq78 yep, the bloody f***ing colonel

[msdaisyblue]

NOBODY WILL EVERY BE AS GREAT

[forkliftho]

Nobody like The King

[zldamstr]

Haha "Chrithmas"

[chantalou131]

MERCI HOLDINGON22 JE NE PEUX PAS ME PASSER DE MON ELVIS ET J'ADORE " CE BOEUF " qu'il se tape avec ses fidèles musicos. Et son HUMOUR.§

[paulita0513]

Best unplugged ever..... MTV.... what?

[domn1c]

Dayam! The man was frickin hot!!!

[amelekh]

the one and only king of rock and roll

[MsHappymemories]

Are we on television? No, we're on a train bound for Tulsa. I love it.

[MrPresident2032]

when i think of elvis i think of this one, elvis around 1968, in the 50s he was just a kid, in the early and mid 60s he was doing movies which i dont care for much, and in the 70s he started decling, in the late 60s he was at his very best

[geeoga1]

beatles needed to kiss his royal hind parts......great as they were....only one KING!!!!

[XWoodchuckleX]

@geeoga1 4 Real! :)

[karlatart21]

@geeoga1 Well said. Of course his hind parts were gorgeous too, or so I've heard. *grin* That voice.....

[iamtoothewalrus]

@geeoga1 The Beatles loved Elvis and really felt for Elvis having to go through it all by himself where they had each other for support.

[artiebarnes]

@geeoga1 He was no Morrison.

[boomers66]

@artiebarnes But e was Elvis.

[6021diesel]

The funny thing that he says in the end is that he said that he liked the beatles which in fact was that he hated them for stealing his thunder during the 60's when he was making movies. He was very jealous of them for stealing his crown during that time.

[louiscaponecchia]

@6021diesel the beatles got shit on elvis.

[MrPresident2032]

@6021diesel its not mutually exclusive, you can be jealous of someones success and admire their talent at the same time

[WeCaVa]

Happy birthday, Elvis!

[GunWIZard]

Raw , pure , unadulterated genius . He had talent unseen since . MJ was close...but this one is the king.

[roaringwaterbay]

@GunWIZard I think only America could have produced said genius.

[1998disco72]

He was the man!!!

[carloslatuff]

What an unplugged session with the King itself! Elvis for ever!
