Why didn't Elvis' manager allow these concerts to be professionally filmed??? To all the fans that shot these home movies back in 1972, wherever you are, we are eternally grateful, because without your initiative and foresight we today would not have been able to watch Elvis Presley rock New York City. Thanks for sharing.

Jackie Kahane, at the start of the clip, thought the audience were booing because they couldn't hear him. In truth, they didn't appreciate his type of humour, and slow clapped him and chanted "We want Elvis!" over and over. Eventually he left the stage without finishing his set, "You are many, I am one", something along those lines lol. Apparently, when Elvis heard about their impatience, he was furious that they had disrespected a member of his show and threatened to cancel the whole gig.

Rare footage from Madison Square Garden. The crowd was so rude to Jackie Kahane, the comedian who opened the show that Elvis thought about not going on stage later. The shows were usually set up like this: 1- the comedian, 2-backup singers short set, then intermission and then Elvis comes to the stage !! This is footage, I believe was filmed by the News crews, covering Elvis Presleys concerts in New york in 1972. They were allowed only a few songs to video tape.
