First Time Morning Visit to ELVIS Graceland Meditation Garden Grave

[@Bluelady4848]

I saw the movie. I have to say that while I thought Austin Butler did a great job singing and moving like Elvis when they showed him performing onstage, I was very bummed out that they portrayed Elvis as a depressed individual who seemed to NEVER be in a good mood and didn't have a sense of humor at all. They might as well have called the movie Emo Elvis. They made his mother sound like she was a drunk, clingy woman, and they made Vernon seem like an idiot. I know Elvis was happy at least sometimes in his life and knew how to joke around, but you would never know it by watching that movie. Just my opinion.

It was the drugs he was on. Early in his life he was happy.

[@stevieeplea5611]

@@DazewithJordantheLion I loved the movie it did have some inaccuracies but was the best Elvis movie I've seen greetings from st Helens Merseyside United Kingdom ep4eva 👑

Drugs destroying everybody's life, this was always a problem 😪😔😕.

[@BrandyH-eh9up]

I agree. A lot do his friends and families interviews and their home videos it sounded like he was a jokester and had fun and liked to play around. Even in his own interviews he was very witty

[@alancumming6407]

This 'morning visit' was a real treat. You provided us with a quieter, more peaceful Graceland - more the way it would have been when Elvis lived there. It was a beautiful tribute and another great addition to your back catalogue of Vlogs that feature 'The King'. It was also interesting to hear Scott's impressions of Graceland after not being there for a while. As you say, in the end, it's simply about one thing - his music. Many thanks Jordan and Scott for this vlog. Safe Travels.

[@outsider238]

That's awesome. I haven't been there since 1991. My best friend Kyle was a huge Elvis fan. We went there and really enjoyed it. Kyle died in 1998 at the young age of 26. I miss him every day. At least we got to enjoy our trip to Graceland.

[@laurakojima5076]

I had a velvet Elvis for years. He was one of a kind. Few stars have this lasting power. Thanks for all the little details, the honor and respect you show everyone.

[@judithschoner6433]

Beautiful memories, thank you 😊🙏❤! My fav song: "Love Me Tender". All of us miss ELVIS so much.

[@hh7407]

How cool is it at 5:03 when he says "Elvis, Inc." with emphasis...the landscape lights all turned on immediately. Wow!

[@ooddities]

I remember being a teenager when Elvis passed, my mom was SO upset and cried a lot after his passing. She went to his concerts too. Thanks Jordan for a well made, thoughtful vlog, you rock as well!!! Peace Out

[@countessratzass5408]

I was working in a women’s medical clinic in Memphis that day, just blocks from Baptist Hospital where they took him. The entire city lost its mind so we closed for the day.

[@Bob-jg3vq]

A wonderful and very respectful tribute to Elvis Presley and his family. It must have been a thrill for you and especially Scott to visit the graves.

[@mitchellwestford9312]

People like you keep him update for new fans around the world THANK YOU for support Him keep His legacy alive forever Elvis Presley 2022

[@ald668]

I love Elvis! A soul touched by God.

[@juliearmymom7807]

Elvis' first gravesite was still standing a couple of years ago. If it still is, it is beautiful and a must see.

[@TheMartinick]

Nice blog, Jordan and always great to see Scott. Glad you guys could visit and video this great presentation.

[@brendaphillips2092]

I’ve also saw the movie Austin was awesome can’t wait to be in Memphis. And to visit Elvis grave The morning walk up looks so peaceful thanks Jordan TCB TCE❤️

[@kiethee]

Hi Jordan and Scott so glad that you both got to stay at the hotel and to visit his grave first thing in the morning and the respect that you show to to the greatest entertainer and elvis did love the meditation garden it gave him some piece a place he could go to that why he loved Graceland so much he felt safe there so it fitting that his last resting place is there great vlog

[@davidrixson3171]

Beauiful video! I've been to Graceland three times. 1982, 1997 and 2005. In 82 all of Elvis' cars were still in his carport at back of the mansion. I also remember all the souvenir shops across the street. Great memories!

[@valeriefelitto6336]

Simple classy tribute. Good job

[@bette-grandmom]

Such a respectful morning visit. I felt like I was there with you. I've only been there once and appreciate that you take us along. With all the hype of the current Elvis movie, I too, hope the genuine man and his music doesn't get pushed aside. How I love his music, his voice. Truly no one else will ever come close to his magical presence.

[@DVA579]

Thank you for saying that, I hope we don’t lose the real Elvis. Thankfully the books, stories and love that so many that lived with him have left behind for history. Elvis is TIMELESS

[@Sheilamarie2]

I'm with you, Jordan. I want the "real" Elvis Presley to live on, not what the movie versions might be (truth or not)... I just love him, and you could vlog him/Graceland as much as you wanted, us fans are going to eat it up! We never tired of our beloved Elvis... Thank you for thinking of a morning visit to his graveside. I'm putting on "Suspicious Minds" per your request, in honor/memory of him...

[@ellesee7079]

Thanks Jordan, for taking me along to another place I'll probably never see in person 🙏💕

[@pm914407]

That was so cool! And I loved the Black Elvis who popped up near the end. It's amazing the positive influence Elvis has on so many people and it's all in the name of good, wholesome fun. Thanks for sharing Jordan!

[@drea8092]

Nice video! I’m currently saving money to make a surprise trip to Graceland with my mom. She will be so excited!!

[@elvisfan61]

I went to Graceland in 2019 and had no idea you could go to the Meditation Gardens in the morning before they opened. I happen to walk to the gates with about 10 minutes to spare before they closed it up for the morning. For anyone going to Graceland, go in the morning. It's a beautiful walk up the drive and you get to spend a little time at the graves before it gets busy. Wish I'd had more time that morning.

[@keetonplace]

Unless it's changed since I was there in 2015, there's also an evening walk-up, which I did. I prefer, being a night person, the beautiful evening walk-up. So quiet and peaceful being there with Elvis, even with people all around. Everyone very respectful. But if I saw an impersonator, in costume, I would go the other way. It would ruin it for me. I've walked up that hill more times than I can count for the vigil and never once saw an impersonator. I didn't think they were allowed to go on Graceland's grounds in their garb.

[@pilze.7213]

In 2014, I was lucky enough to be there first thing in the morning as they weren't going to open that day due to there being something happening at the house. A guard across the road radio-ed up for me, and the gate house guy messaged back and said he would open the gates. So I thanked him and walked over, the only person, as the gates opened up and I walked through and up the drive. I then proceeded to have Elvis to myself for half an hour before I then left and finally passed people back at the gate coming in. I filmed the whole thing, and so glad I did! I've been a fan since I was a kid and luckily for me, I think Elvis knew and welcomed me in for some one to one time! What a treat, I know that chance would probably never happen again!

[@goldenhoneysilk]

what amazing vlog to watch, will never get tired of anything to do with Elvis. was a very handsome man. I can just see my self sitting peacefully visiting . thanks Jordan and Scott.

[@sugarplumenigma4850]

Thanks Jordan , I appreciate your sentiments and sensitivity in this video. We love Elvis ❤

[@kallen868]

Loved this! Thank you Jordan! Elvis was supposed to play in Maine before he passed. His death was sad and shocking.

[@karentarr8930]

What a beautiful morning, I can just imagine Elvis going n the pool and riding his golf cart all over the yard, great blog 🤗😎

[@rubyeanes8370]

This was wonderful, thanks for taking me along. Have a great week.

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

My Mom is a huge Elvis fan. I heard his music a lot when was a kid. I would love to visit Graceland someday. Graceland looks like a time capsule. Everything frozen in the late 70's.

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, what a lovely fountain and a beautiful Meditation Garden. Great vlog Jordan.

[@vickiebell3529]

Elvis was one of a kind he sure will be missed good video Jordan vickie bell napa ca

[@AlreadyFree612]

" If I Can Dream " is my favorite Elvis song, followed closely by, "I Just Can't Help Believing ". As soon as you said that it popped in my head! I didn't know they let people visit the Meditation Garden in the morning. I'm planning to take my daughter to Graceland next summer, and we are both so excited! Y'all have a great trip!

[@marigold7250]

Well done Jordan, great to see Scott too. I haven't seen the new movie but if it was disrespectful to Elvis parents, Elvis wouldn't be happy about that.

[@renebyers6153]

Just spent some time in Memphis. Did Beale St and the movie 1st night then Graceland the next day. It was very emotional and moving for me. Last time I visited Graceland was Christmas 1977. 1st Christmas after his death. Boy, things have changed quite a bit there. Elvis’s spirit/vibe is all over Beale St. IJS

[@Casslaydra]

I’ve been doing nothing but obsessing over all the stuff lately since I saw the movie and I saw it for the second time this week. Why is Elvis so addicting lol. The nostalgic feel does give me anxiety because I know I’ll never ever be able to live during that period. It makes me sad how the world turned out and that people like him don’t exist anymore.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Read some books about him, so you can learn the real stories

[@Kyubone]

@@DazewithJordantheLion I mean obviously a biopic isn't gonna be able to show everything and in accurate order etc, it's not a documentary. But it's a good start to get into Elvis, and next read some books and watch some actual documentaries etc to get a deeper look into his life :) I've been a fan for 20 years, learned nothing new from the movie, spotted some inaccuracies, but I was able to look past them bc the movie as a whole was so well done, at least in my eyes, and since this movie has been very well received, I think many agree. I went to see it twice! I think the most important thing though is that the Presley family loves it and thinks it's done right, because it's about a family member of theirs, husband, father, grandfather. We as fans can have our opinions on it, but we're only fans after all.

[@Kyubone]

If you're a new Elvis fan, welcome! Be sure to keep reading further about him than what the movie was able to tell (since it's only scratching the surface, with a few inaccuracies) if you're interested about going deeper into his life :)

[@Casslaydra]

@@Kyubone thank you! I’m a huge fan of the band Luna Sea as well! ❤️❤️❤️ much love

[@Kyubone]

@@Casslaydra Wow really? That's so awesome! They're my favorite band! 😄 It's not everyday you stumble upon another LUNA SEA fan like this, and on an Elvis-related video no less!!

[@cathpeterson1944]

really nice to see Graceland on a quieter note when its not crazy busy; I haven’t seen new Elvis movie yet, one of his songs I really luv so much is If I Can Dream - the words are so true we can still dream no matter what life throws at us, after this pandemic alot of us are feeling like what needs to change how to better our lives, how we can survive financial stress or start all over again; I draw strength from Elvis’ songs just luv his music and movies for the joy I receive from his gifts he gave us in life.

[@TeressaATX]

Thank you for sharing this! I have not been in years & this alone makes me really want to go back! A very personal moment, no crowds.

[@donnastedham9822]

Always an amazing experience to visit Elvis. Thanks Jordan and Scott.

[@terryrulf8576]

thank you for good video im big fan of the king Elvis my favorite song it is if i can dream and let it be me R.I,P.

[@traceyhellsten649]

" Lead me Guide me", " If I Can Stand", and " Just Pretend", are three of my favorites. ( The come back special was in 68 ). Thank you ! God bless you and your family 🙏.

[@sg2823]

Elvis singing Glory Glory Hallelujah sticks out in my mind.

[@lorireed5291]

Thank you so much for taking the morning tour. I have that on my bucket 🪣 list. Hope to get there one day...

[@InfectiousGroovePodcast]

I used to have a job where I traveled to Memphis two or three times every year. I used to go visit Elvis as many mornings as possible on my work trips. It was a very cool thing to be able to do.

[@katrinacool]

Thank you Jordan! I was there about 25 years ago and it has changed so much! The King will live on forever! 😊😊❤️❤️☀️☀️😍😍

[@mainowlin6176]

This is a wonderful vlog about Elvis Presley’s life. Thanks Jason for this memory.

[@blizzardbaby]

Those are two of my favorite Elvis songs, too! Love playing them both while I’m out driving, especially. It was great to meet you during Elvis week last year in the lobby of my hotel. It was my first Elvis week but I’ve been a true fan of his since 2005. I did the “walk-up” to the grave in the evening that week which was lovely. Thanks for doing these videos! Means so much to the long term fans and hopefully new ones, too. TCB ⚡️

[@valeriemote6686]

One of my favorite songs he sang was “I can’t stop lov’in you” mostly because my cousin Don Gibson wrote it in 1957! But there’s just not another voice like Elvis’s!

[@HeroesITC]

I was born in July ‘77 one month before Elvis’ death…but I enjoy Elvis’ music because of my pops! Long live the KING!

[@Regina0964]

I went there a few years ago, the stone wall was as far as i could get, i stood on the roof of my rental van to get a look at this amazing place, i actually got goosebumps.. wrote my name on the wall, they love to look at it and see all those names of people from all over the globe.. thank you..

[@Frostyblu]

I love this video. You showed things that I have never seen before such as the stained glass windows and Elvis' moms original head stone. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@leetherockjohnson5376]

Loved this little morning vlog to pay respect to Elvis's resting place. The meditation garden is awesome,beautiful ,ASMR moment at the fountain until the leaf blowers had their way haha 😄. Being from the UK 🇬🇧, I get to travel around the United States for free and see landmarks like Graceland,etc, up close and personal through Jordan's channel, BONUS 😃👍👍.cheers for this Jordan and much appreciated.

[@deehickman6417]

Thank you, Jordan! I pictured Elvis on his go-cart flying around the curve of his drive! What a perfect start to the morning! Elvis's life is so fascinating and to me, the movie just didn't touch what was special about it. Safe travels to you & Scott and I look forward to both of your upcoming videos! TCB ⚡

Always love your Elvis vlogs, Jorden. Not seen the Elvis movie as of yet. Heard mixed things. My favourite Elvis song is Suspicious Minds. 🎸🎸🎸

[@amandamankins1293]

My grandmother and I went to London in 2010. We went to the Madam Tussuds wax work museum, my grandma was so cute when we got to the Evils statue. She had just turned 75 in Scotland and you would have thought she was a teenager again snuggling up to that thing.

[@yolandadelazerda207]

Oh the AWESOMENESS of this Vlog!!!!

[@mariaday712]

Beautiful vlog. You've showed us before where Elvis is buried. beautiful and one would hope quiet. lol. I have to agree with Scott. You'd think they could wait and let the visitors have the hour of peace and quiet to pay their respects. I'm glad Elvis had some where quiet he could go. Thank you for your love and respect of him. Thank you for this wonderful vlog. You and Scott stay safe.

[@DemonStarCrafts]

My favourite elvis songs are just can’t help Bieleing and heart break hotel . Been an elvis fan since I was a kid but as I get older my love for this man and what he brought to the world only grows

[@TicMonie777]

Great video!! I'm listening to his songs now. Definitely going to visit here.

[@Rita_654]

Thank you Jordan for this video ❣it seemed so quiet and peacefully. I visited Graceland twice and read a lot about Elvis. His smile was great and of course his sense of humor. They could have portrayed that more in the movie but overall I thought it was a movie portraying how he became a star very fast. His mother was very loving but started drinking when Elvis went in the army, she died of a liver disease. The movie was just too short to high light everything about his life. I am glad his family liked it. My favorite Elvis' song is If I can dream 🎵 he thought about the assassination of Dr King when he sang that song.

[@ruthjesse6759]

Awesome. I think it was also fitting that Benjamin was payed to rest at Graceland. God Bless there Souls and May they all Rest In Peace.

[@bonniericica6895]

Back in the 70's there was a mall across the street that had a dinner where Vester Presley would hang out! I bought Elvis's book from his cook and Vester signed it! I have pictures from that time and other times later in the mid 90's! It was indeed an honor for me to sit in a booth and talk with Vester Presley in that time! My favorite song that Elvis did was in his come back tour in 68, where he sung "If I could dream!

[@Lilo-ii]

My best friends mom who I consider to be my own mother as well was a huge Elvis fan. We tried to make a trip out too Graceland with her a few years back but ran into some car troubles and chevy wasn’t very much help at the time haha. (GM did refund us the money we spent on hotel reservations and the tickets to watch the interviews during Elvis week for selling her a lemon) She passed away last year and I cannot listen to any Elvis song without tearing up. So now with the movie I see him everywhere it makes me think of her. I love Elvis bc of her but man I wish it wasn’t so bitter sweet. I only listen to him alone. Thanks for the video Jordan.

Loved his family. Safe travels Jordan, thank you for your kind words on Mr. Presley😊 I hope you make it to Mackinal Island and see the beautiful Hotel. You won't be disappointed😉

Elvis always alive! In my heart ❤️🙏😌💐

[@karensparks2509]

I wonder what he thought walking up to his new home once? He loved it there. I loved the fact he had his whole family with him! I saw the movie the only part I didn't like was his Mother portrayed like that. She was his heart!❤️
