the beauty of
1969 elvis

stuck in hollywood being separated from the stage & his fans
finally free from the hollywood contracts & soundtracks
in july 1969 elvis returned
to live performances & his fans
he was home again ⊰
las vegas
aug 1969 ~
beautiful elvis
aug 3 1969
elvis' dinner show &
midnight show
during elvis' vagas engagements
he played 7 nights a week
for 4 weeks 2 shows a night
did this twice a year & in-between
those engagements he toured domestically
no one was working harder
than elvis in the 70s ~
1973 was a tough yr for elvis
he was being picked apart in
the tabloids over his divorce
but he never let it show on stage
instead using it as fuel
one of his finest moments
during aloha rehearsal concert
he unleashed his raw emotion & power during
what now my love ⊰
you could always tell how much
fun elvis always had singing this
one
full of grit growl & power
full of that rhythm he loved
so much ⊰
~ can't stop loving you
that's the way it is
1970 ~
@EtherealElvis@romfordslim1477 I noticed the 2 nd note too. Put that first one exactly where he pulled it out from during psa. Wonder why he decided to look at it during the performance ? Things we’ll never know…..,,
Damn.
Now THAT'S how you do a commercial.
Putting all of my Elvis loving aside for a moment...
Seriously, THAT'S HOW YOU DO A COMMERCIAL!
Which is starting to feel like a lost art in and of itself!
Am I understanding this correctly? The President, the Vice-President, the Speaker of the House AND the Secretary of State were all at the White House Correspondent's Dinner together and security was so laxed that a guy ran through security with a long gun? I call bullshit.
I watched "EPIC: Elvis Presley in Concert" last night… and I’ve got one question:
Why did I wait so long!?
This film didn’t just leave the building, it kicked the doors open, turned the lights up, and brought The King back to life in a way that felt… well… now or never.
Baz Luhrmann has done it again. He takes never-before-seen footage, a long-lost Elvis interview, and with a little cinematic TCB, he builds something that doesn’t just tell the story… it feels like Elvis is right there in the room with you.
And let me tell you, this isn’t just nostalgia.
This is Elvis at the height of his powers.
Vegas.
Early 70s.
The jumpsuit.
The voice.
The presence.
The electricity.
You don’t just watch it…
You can’t help falling in love with it all over again.
The film opens with a powerful, fast-moving ride through Elvis’ life.
Sun Records to superstardom.
It then drops you right into those legendary nights at the International Hotel (now the Westgate). And from that moment on, you’re not just a viewer…
You’re in the audience.
With the new 2026 mastering and next-level technology, every note, every move, every glance feels alive. It’s as if time itself said, “Thank you… thank you very much,” and gave us Elvis one more time.
And here’s the thing…
Even if you’re not a die-hard Elvis fan, even if you’ve never owned a single record, I’ve got a feeling this movie will have you all shook up by the end.
Because Elvis wasn’t just a performer.
He was a moment.
A force.
A frequency.
The King.
And EPIC captures that in a way I’ve never seen before.
This one’s a must-see.
I’ll be watching it again… and again… and again.
Because some legends don’t fade…
They just find new ways to take care of business. ⚡️

@thedaywar90@fqesq So he was married to the woman he cheated on Ivana with, then would eventually marry the happy hook …uh,Melania and trump would then get caught with another sex worker…
I can definitely see why the Christian right admires and defends him so much🙄
