About the song
**Elvis Presley – Patch It Up – Live 70**. Just the name itself evokes a certain era, doesn’t it? For those of us who remember, that time was a whirlwind of change, and Elvis, well, he was right there in the thick of it all. This particular live performance captures a moment when Elvis was reasserting his dominance, reminding the world why he was, and always would be, the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
Now, “Patch It Up” itself is a fascinating piece. It’s a song that, in Elvis’s hands, transcends its original form. When he takes the stage, it becomes something more, something uniquely his. This live version, recorded in 1970, is a testament to that. You can hear the raw energy, the sheer power of his voice, and the undeniable charisma that made him a legend.
But it’s not just about the performance; it’s about the context. The early 70s were a time of transition for Elvis. He was coming off his ’68 Comeback Special, and he was eager to prove that he was still relevant, still vital. And boy, did he ever. This performance of “Patch It Up” is a prime example of that. It’s a shot of pure, unadulterated rock ‘n’ roll, delivered with the kind of passion that only Elvis could muster.
For those of us who lived through that era, this recording is a time capsule, a reminder of a time when music was more than just entertainment; it was a cultural force. And for those who are discovering Elvis for the first time, this is a perfect introduction to his live performances, a glimpse into the magic that made him an icon. So, sit back, relax, and let the King take you back to a time when rock ‘n’ roll ruled the world.”

Lyrics
One, two
One, two, three, four
We’ve got to patch it up baby
Before we fall apart at the seams
We’ve got to patch it up baby
We can’t let time unravel our dreams
Let’s go back and touch the past
One more night is all I ask
Get that feeling, that old feeling, feelin-eelin’
We can patch it up baby
We can patch it up baby
We can patch it up baby
Patch it up with a whole lotta love
We got to patch it up baby
Let’s sweep out all the cobwebs in our hearts
We’ve got to patch it up baby
Before indifference pulls us apart
Don’t let a good love die
Let’s give it just one more try
With that feeling, that old feeling, feelin-eelin’
We can patch it up baby
We can patch it up baby
We can patch it up baby
Patch it up with a whole lotta love
We can patch it up baby
We can patch it up baby
We can patch it up baby
Patch it up with a whole lotta love
We can patch it up baby
We can patch it up baby
We can patch it up baby
Patch it up with a whole lotta love
We can patch it up baby
We can patch it up baby
We can patch it up baby
Patch it up with a whole lotta love
We can patch it up baby
We can patch it up baby
We can patch it up baby
Patch it up with a whole lotta love
With a whole lotta love
