It is so sad that Elvis never made it to Europe to perform. 😢

The other guy standing beside Elvis looks like Randy Travis. Lol

Increíble Gracias

Hi Trey. I am always filled with wonder at how Elvis fans, myself included, covet those places where he once stood, walked, sat in, slept in. Such places as these have a way of taking on a reverence for his having been there. I frequently ask myself do I offend God by placing Elvis this high in my regards but then I consider that Elvis seems so connected to God that I feel closer to God for loving Elvis. A personal quandary..yes , but I believe others must be having similar concerns. I would love to know.

Hi praise from a great man!

I could very well be wrong, but I believe that's Ranger Doug from The Riders in the Sky doing the narration in the background. Ranger Doug did 2 stints with Bill Monroe in the late 1960s.

Is she asleep during this interview, her eyes keep closing.😂

I did sit by the stage a few times. Got a kiss and 2 scarves. Had to save a for a big tip to get there. My Mom , Sister and I saw him 14 times there and was fortunate to meet him backstage just for a few minutes. I was kinda speechless but managed to tell him he was the greatest. My sister and I walked or I should say practically ran to get there before he left. We sat next to a gentleman that had a dress shop at the hotel and he took us to meet Elvis. The hotel and showroom was so beautiful and it is such a shame to see it now. The elegance of the hotel at the time fit Elvis perfectly. So very exciting and unbelievable.

Was there last year. Very cool.

Sam Phillips didn't invent Rock n Roll. Bill Haley was doing it in the early 50's. And Texan guitarist Goree Carter (pre Chuck Berry) had the 1st true Rock n Roll record in 1949 called Rock Awhile.

Great video Trey. I'm also glad that yous in the states are finally learning to preserve, and keep historically important buildings instead of tearing them down to replace them cheap taty malls

Hi Trey, thanks for this video, very interesting,great to see a tribute to Elvis and the other artist from that moment in time. All part of the Elvis history/story.👍👍👍👍👍👍

I believe that is a picture of Elvis with Brenda Lee at 6:21.

Glad trey you are back grand ole opera messed up when they would not let him sing more elvis showed them but they honored him with a statue better late then never wish elvis was alive to receive it thanks trey great video

Thanks Trey! Love this story of Elvis at the Ryman Theatre! Love this special exhibit and appreciate your narrating this tour! Great story and glad you’re back doing your videos! Prayers🙏🙏 for all affected by Helene and take care out there to all this Elvis community!👍👍🥰

Did Elvis ever do a show in Chattanooga ?

That's really cool Trey. I'd like to have been able to go see that in person, but at least I got to see it on your video. I have been to the Ryman twice before they started remodeling and repairing it. I got to stand on the original stage where Elvis and so many others great entertainers stood. The first time I went, I went with my Uncle and his wife. I was about 16 or 17 years old. We got to go down that slope that's off to the right of the stage then we got to go into the dressing rooms. We got to sign our names on the dressing room wall. There were two dressing rooms that you were allowed to go into back then. The second time I went was on my honeymoon with my husband. That was in Feb. 1989. I couldn't wait to show him where I signed the wall in the dressing room, but darn it...they had painted over everyone's signatures and roped it off so no one could go in the dressing rooms no more. That was disappointing, but it was still so exciting to get to stand up on that stage Trey. It still smelt like old wires and dust and I loved it. 😊❤ I could just picture all the famous people that sung there, especially Elvis Presley. Thank you Trey for sharing this video with us. I'm glad someone finally did that, even though they did turn the most famous star in the world away. It still happened and it's still apart of Elvis' history. 👍😉🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tabernacle of American music.

Glad these wannabe counrty singers don't try and sing there!!

Col. Parker, the WORST thing that ever happened to Elvis!!! He should've fired him permanently!!

Funny how he was treated back then, now, totally different. You do a great job on every video Trey! No double dribbling on your part!!

About time the Ryman honored Elvis. He sure showed them for rejecting him. Thank you Mr. Trey. You didn't double dribble with this one, cool 😎. Safe travels and adventures 🙏. God bless 🙏.

Lived his life's long live king

Doing awesome job, thank you for keeping his legend alive

Great video Trey, I Love the Ryman . I did the tour last year, it was amazing.

Saudações aqui do Brasil Elvis forever❤

For all those saying the they broke Elvis’ heart by writing the book, what about Elvis breaking their hearts by unjustly firing them with only 3 days notice and 1 weeks pay? They all wound up in financial distress over that. Red lost his house. Elvis had no idea about the real world and gave no thought to how it would affect them financially. In reality this was Elvis and Vernon’s fault. Elvis had them fired because of them stopping the supply of drugs coming from one of the Voice members. His intent was to teach them a lesson to lay off confronting him about the drugs but he had instructed his Dad to give them $5000 and rehire them in a few weeks. But Vernon didn’t do that. Then Elvis refused to talk to them when they tried to talk to him and things just festered. Once they were fired, they knew the only way to get to Elvis and show him what the drugs were doing to him was to write a book. They actually turned down bigger offers from the National Enquirer to write a store for that paper. They turned it down because they thought a book would be more effective. Elvis was out of control and they knew he was heading towards death and unfortunately they were right but their book was too late to help.

You guys are the King of Investigate'n'Roll. Thanks again for all your hard work!

They wore the book out of revenge but Elvis was his own man and did things his way , I’m glad to hear Elvis stories from Red !

Looks like a dingy place for Elvis to stay in , maybe if he had killed Dr Nick he’d have done time and dried out ?!?

Its funny how she said he had no rhythm 🤣. He was way ahead of his time. He had so much rhythm. ❤

Прекрасное утро этого сказочного места. Но нет в нем главного Короля и от этого очень печально.

I'd have torn my fingernails off trying to abduct the whole man. He was stunning and so humble ❤

Wow! It was HUGE!! You and Billy are The Best; we love you guys!

I was at this Concert!! It was always difficult to see Elvis !

Beautiful place nicely filmed without crowds of people.

How interesting!

I am from warrior,Al. Love the stories

The official autopsy comes out in 2027 but Dr Nick confirmed what I already knew. It wasn’t the drugs. Elvis had bowel problems as a kid. What a shame none of the doctors had the balls to stand up to him and make him see how dangerous it was!

I deliver to hotels, and I was there today. They are remodeling it.

Ronald was lead guitar player with my brother Barry at Dad Place in the 70s Ronald a great guy❤

I was there and Mom and Dad but I didn’t see Elvis

Thank you super sleuth Mr. Trey on this great Elvis history ❤😊. Safe travels and adventures. Please don't double dribble, lol ! God bless and keep you 🙏.

Ich bin davon überzeugt dass man im 100 Jahren noch von Elvis redet. Es ist nur schade, dass er so jung gestorben ist. Er hätte einen guten Freund gebraucht , alle wollten nur gut leben durch ihn, aber keiner hat die Warnsignale erkannt. Er selbst leider auch nicht...

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR NOT PULLING OUT YOUR iphone and do screenshot match-ups. Please show this video to the SpaGuy

This is the first time I've seen any live footage of Elvis with him handing out scarfs to kids. Love to see more of that ,it's great he had and still does have fans of all ages ❤

I don’t recall 74 or 75. My parents were members of Jaycees. I and my 2 older sisters helped roll posters. I remember the President of the Jaycees taking me by the hand to fill an empty seat on front row inside aisle of right side of floor seats. Wow! Front row seat. Elvis handed me a purple scarf which I later gave to my sister. About 8 yrs ago my business bottled a product for a gentleman by the name of Duke Bardwell. Duke played bass guitar for Elvis at that time. It truly is a small world!! Elvis also played at West Monroe High School. Way before my time though.

And my grandmother was there and saw Elvis play at the Von too

I'm pretty sure in the early 90's there was a movie theater in the Von with only one screen to watch whatever they had playing that day. If I'm thinking right I watched Indiana jones and the last crusade there

Incredible story
