    68 Comeback Question

    I'm a bit of a dork and I notice things probably most people don't. But in the sit down showns especially the second one I noticed he coughed a couple times and cleared his thoart more than he did any other time. Why?

    Never noticed. But I don't think anything was wrong nor does it matter. He did a beyond words wonderful job.

    I think it was because of his nervous on stage and nothing else.

    I agree nerves and such, but possibly I know when i sing alot my voice gets and closed up like it needs some fluid or such and he had just finished the one performance and then doing one right after it might have worked out his voice a bit
    He had not done a live concert for awhile and his voice was not used to it

    And Elvis did his share of coughing in 1969 as well...

    I agree....it's very possible that it was because he had only (like thirty minutes before ) did the first 'sit-down' show and his voice was strained.

    That right there also might be a very good possibility of why the coughing episodes occurred.....I hadn't thought of that until now.

    Good point. I never thought of that either, but it's a good possibility.

    I think it was probably nerves. But we'll never really know I don't think.

    He would also cough when he returned to vegas in 1969. I think it was nerves. He just needed a drink of water. I think his husky voice is is sexy!!

    I think this is one we all seem to be agreeing on. Which by the way is nice.

    i always thought that it was because his voice was strained from already singin a bunch of songs...it dont matter to me, he looks hot while he's coughing anyways lol

    It was also through out the whole show. Though mostly in the sit down. I had watch it again though to see what on earth you were talking about.
