One of the most iconic performances in human history from Elvis

“You Gave Me A Mountain” is a song that was first recorded by country singer Marty Robbins in 1969. However, it was Elvis Presley’s live performance of the song that really brought it to the attention of a wider audience. Presley first performed the song live in 1972, and it became a regular part of his concert repertoire.

One of the most memorable performances of “You Gave Me A Mountain” by Elvis Presley was during his tour in 1973. The concert was recorded and released as the album “Elvis: Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite.” The album and the television broadcast of the concert were hugely popular and helped to cement Presley’s status as one of the greatest performers of his generation.

In the song, Presley sings about the struggles and hardships he has faced in life, and how he feels that he has been given a mountain to climb. The lyrics speak to themes of perseverance, determination, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Presley’s emotional delivery of the song, combined with his powerful stage presence, made it one of the most moving and memorable moments of the concert.

“You Gave Me A Mountain” has since become one of Elvis Presley’s most beloved songs, and it continues to be a favorite of fans and performers alike. The song has been covered by many artists over the years, but Presley’s version remains the definitive rendition of this classic ballad.
