Thanks to you Joe, for seeing the clips. Here's a third ending, from 1956. Each has a different lead guitarrist, with Scotty on this one, and Hank Garland being the one from 1957. Of course, it was James Burton in the 1969 clip. And I mention this because the guitar lick prominently heard at the ending, sounds different in each, and that's the reason. Every one of his guitar players had a distinctive way of playing the guitar.Joe Car wrote:Great stuff! Thanks again Jaime1234!

The endings of the three versions also have nothing in common (as far as HIS moves are concerned), partly as a result of the acoustic guitars he had on him and which Elvis knew EXACTLY how to protect. The two acoustic guitars concerned (he also used one that night in 1957 but apparently had dispensed of it, by the time he went into "I got a woman" ), are also different.
In the 26 September, 1956 Tupelo footage, he's using his 1955 D28 Martin, with a tooled leather cover as protection,. There, he just place his forearm in between the guitar and the microphone, then does the leg moves. In the 1969 footage, he's using his 1956 J200, refurbished in 1960, without any protective cover . Incidentally, that same 1956 J200 was first used two weeks after the 1956 footage, at the October 11, 1956 Dallas Cotton Bowl gig.
Check how concious Elvis is , especially in Las Vegas, to have the entire lenght of the acoustic guitar, especially the neck, at a safe distance from the stand up microphone, and this throughout those 12 seconds in which he makes those punching moves, you know, like bringing the mike to the ground . Just see that 1969 footage again (in my previous message), and marvel at the vocal, mental, and physical coordinaton of this man.
Here's the 1956 footage, starting at 0.20 seconds
