It's an outstanding performance of Bridge Over Troubled Water in 1970. At the beginning of the video ( the first 6 seconds ) Elvis takes something that looks like a cigarette to me from the audience and then gives it back. The person who uploaded this video on youtube wrote : Elvis Smoking a Joint Live? in the titleI think it's only a cigarette. Does anyone have more info on this?
Thanks,
Marija
Dearest Marija...
This is perhaps my FAVORITE performance of this song!As for the "joint" thing...
...I wouldn't put any stock into that whatsoever! It's a cigarette, without a doubt. Just someone trying to cast yet another bad shadow over a wonderful man and a magnificent performance. Pay it no mind...
But thank you so much for posting this today. I am having a melancholy day, and this helped so much!
Love ya...Lea
Daddy, I miss you more every day. You will always be my hero..

The first 6 seconds aren't the same performance as the remaining video. Look closely at this jumpsuit. Same suit, but the collar is different. I like to see the different camera angles like this one that aren't the same as on TTWII. I would love to see video from the August 10th performance (Opening night). I recently read that it was a stellar performance, leaving some in the audience and his background singers in tears!!!!

Nobody but nobody sings this song better than Elvis......love it love it love it!
As to the joint.......looked like a cigarette to me....
I really don't know what to say...
Anyway...I can't help you unfortunetaly...I have the same question with you,Marija.
Is there another link? It says no longer available. I didn't think Elvis EVER EVER EVER smoked during a perfomance. I'm really surprised.
Me to like to see this video,which you have put is not sen,the truth I like very much the song like her sing his voice am perfect for the her,when it sees the video will think what you say ok
It is a cigarette. I don't think he would smoke an illicit hallucinogenic drug in front of cameras that will ultimately be seen many people.
