I was there in 1972 to see Elvis .It was a outstanding concert,he always gave his best. Such a beautiful person inside and out.
I loved him then and still love him now,he will always live in my memories and in my heart.
Did you see Ed and Lorraine there? They were there.
Great tour to see the building and concerts. I’m glad y’all got two chairs!! Part of a important time in history with Elvis!!
Thank you both!!🙏💜✨ from Georgia!!!
Nice Work!!
Wow that footage of the fans mourning his death was sad to see. No entertainer, not MJ, Garth Brooks, nobody can nor will ever replace him in history and future success. You'll never again see someone so important and popular to draw the mass attention and interest nearly half a century after death as Elvis does. Truly the 👑.
Brilliant video enjoyed the famous photos of Elvis when he's walking with Linda outside the Hotel. Great work again guys. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you!! We appreciate that! Follow us on Instagram to keep up with our updates!
My name is Ken White I took those photos of Elvis leaving the Sheraton hotel in Bexly Va. I took them 2.30PM Aug3 1976...I took 7 pics in all...thank you for enjoying them
@@kenday711 Thanks for taking the photos seen them loads of times in books and magazines over the years. They are amazing photos always to be treasured
@@kenday711 (or Ken White ?) ... I'm just a little bit confused 🤔 ... was that Sheraton located in Roanoke, VA ?? ... I live here in Roanoke, born and raised here, and I've never heard of a Bexly, VA ... there is a Bexley "area" located near Richmond and Chesterfield, but they are several hours from here ... this video is about the three different tour dates in Roanoke that took place in 1972, 1974, and 1976 and I was at one of those concerts ... I'd love to know if the pictures you took are included in this video and if they are truly here in my city/area of Roanoke, Va ?? ... is that Sheraton here in my area ?? ... I hope you see my questions 🙏 and reply to me here ... thanks so much for your help !!
Did anyone else get Goosebumps when you showed the walk Elvis took to go on stage with the background music. Kind of gives you the feeling Elvis would have had.
Great Video , thank you , vielen Dank und viele Grüße aus Deutschland
Great job guys...enjoyed it!
Wow the 70s were a special decade mostly because ELVIS toured constantly all over USA . Some places were lucky, they saw ELVIS 2 and 3 times . I would have followed ELVIS to every concert he performed and some
Great job guys.
I was 14 and saw Elvis last appearance in Roanoke and as I remember he walked up the back ramp onto the stage, that's where those gold curtains were, I remember that like it was yesterday.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you !!

Wow that crowd after his death, the loyality is amazing
That's extreme! That many seats and it was a sold out event!! Calculate that number! Fantastic.
I got to see him once. My 16th birthday. I was with cousins. I'm now 63.
Daniel thanks ❤.
Elvis has been gone over 45 years and he's still the king nobody will ever match anything that man had he could sing about a piece of lemon or a country road and it wouldn't it's just great long love the king
I was born in Roanoke. It's good to know Elvis was there.
true outstanding concert, thankyou for show this video of Elvis in Roanoke, Virginia: look forword to more cool video on elvis
That was awesome! First time seeing the photos of Elvis and Linda walking out of the hotel.
Awesome 😎👍 video!
Thank you so much!!
Follow us on Instagram!!
Great video. It was nice they had a gathering to pay tribute to Elvis the day after he was originally scheduled to play there in August 1977. I wonder how many other venues may have done the same.
It's very interresting video Elvis always drive in a normally good place hotel was not exquisite on tour but in Los Angeles or Las Vegas there are an other lodge for Elvis the Entertainer ❤️🙏RIP him forever👌
Great video. Good for you for getting TWO of the chairs from the Roanoke Civic Center. I love that shot of E reaching up to those girls during his concert. I'd never seen that picture before and I never knew about the fans gathering there to play his music and remember him after his passing. I wish something like that would have happened where I live. Thanks again for a great video. Gives me chills. 👑

Cam thank you!! You are so loyal to what we do !! We appreciate you !!
Great video! 👏👏👏. Love ALL of y’all’s uploads! Really like your radio announcement intro! 📻 Reminds me of my youth when basically as teenagers all we had for communication was THE RADIO, newspapers and word of mouth! Telling my age now! 🤦♀️. Certainly not like today with all of the technology. Love the way you recreated the girls and Elvis reaching out to touch hands! ✋. Glad you were able to get those chairs! Lucky y’all!! Thanks again! Please keep doing what you’re all doing! TCB ⚡️🕺👑

Thanks for another fantastic video, guys! Keep up the great wrok!
well done, great video, take care
Thank you for your videos they are really helpful with knowing more about Elvis
Hello from England
It is good to know that this building HAS NOT BEEN DEMOLISHED like a lot of concert venues connected to ELVIS have. Yes, you would expect that from 1971 changes need to be made but the basic structure is still INTACT
Every video i have watched of show venues all the signs saying dates and times ALWAYS SAID SOLD OUT. You can understand why ELVIS did 2 shows a NIGHT every night for a month with no break.
Looking at the clip of the fans gathering on the 25th i wonder if they ever thought that 44 + years on so far ELVIS would be EVEN MORE POPULAR TODAY THAN AT THAT TIME. And many of the FANS even at the start of the live shows in 1969/70 would still be ALIVE today.
Great video -
GR8 stuff well cool thanks
Nice video again guys! 😀
Thank you !!! Follow us on Instagram for updates on new videos!

You can tell her he Love that The Folks have for Elvis in Roanoke ❤️🙏TCB⚡️

Cool video
Glad you got the seats! Very Nice
I Love these videos that you do .
Great that you have two original chairs. I need to catch up on some of your earlier videos.
How many venues have you been to? I bet you've travelled far and wide!
David, thank you! We love what we are doing! It’s our passion!!
Grateful Dead played at Roanoke civic center in 1974 too. I know two totally different performers but I love them both.
Great to see someone getting the 1976 Roanoke hotel location right; I was worried the hotel might get torn down before the photos could get verified/documented correctly. The chairs made me laugh - I can't count the number of times I've sat in those same chairs; however, they do tend to get a tad uncomfortable after an hour or two, though. Again, great job all the way through and thanks for all the details.
i took the photos
Elvis didn’t like to see anyone but those he knew backstage right before a concert. He was getting himself ready to go on. I’ve heard Linda Thompson and others say that. He did stretches with the guys. He always prayed right before going on! Getting his mind right. I can understand that. He had such a big personality he had to think about words for songs. He was constantly concerned he would forget words to songs.
Love the chairs at the end! Nice touch! Yet another great video. Thanks for all the time and effort!
Richard, thank you!! It’s our passion! Glad you enjoyed it. Please follow us on Instagram for updates!!
Beautifully done. Keep up the great work!!
Elvis Presley King
A huge album

Not sure how this was recommended to me (very random) but it was interesting! Roanoke is my hometown and I've been to the Civic Center many times in my life
Awesome flashback!!!!!
My mother was the biggest fan and he passed away before he made the show.😟
Just discovered your channel and now playing catch up,really interesting thank you

I love your Chanel and watch all your videos more than once. My only question is ' why did ye change the intro?" I loved it.
Thank you for your support! We were just trying to get to the video quicker
I've seen so many great concerts there. I wasn't around in the days of Elvis tho
Your detail and research is excellent and I’m sure of great interest to any elvis fan. Keep it coming guys. I don’t know if you’ve done one of your videos on madison square garden? If not might be a idea for the future that would be cool.
Gareth, thank you for your kind words! We have a lot more to come! Please follow us on Instagram for updates!
If you ever wanted to go back in time, visit Roanoke. It has not changed in decades nor have the people that live there, lol.
I Live off of Orange avenue , I went to see Poison there in the mid early or late 90 s Sheetz is across the street. I found out that the lead singer of Drowning Pool had passed away.
You guys need to do the forum and Long Beach arena in California they are not far apart Elvis played some historic shows at these 2 venues
💕
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👍
Please do the king for a day May 5th 1975 lake Charles Louisiana
C'est la dernière fois que je demande d' avoir la possibilité d'avoir la traduction française pour tous les vidéos parlant d Elvis Presley j' aimais beaucoup Elvis Presley Pascale
Those seats have more butts than ashtrays!
😻⚡️⚡️
I wonder if the hotels were clean back then or if they had them precleaned better before Elvis got there
👍👍
Thanks Paul!
@@epbackontour you're very welcome, thanks 👍
