Elvis in Norfolk, Virginia: EP Back on Tour

[@sadl1994]

Awesome! Thank you. I was at this show. Unfortunately, I was 11 and don’t remember it.

[@timpokrywka7026]

I saw Elvis at the Scope in 75. It was the afternoon show. Fantastic show. The second time I saw Elvis was in Hampton just before died. Not sure if that show was 76 or 77, but it was an afternoon show as well. He didn’t move around much, but his voice was still powerful.

[@williamgibson9553]

My wife and I were there at the Scope in 1975 to see Elvis.

[@wvugirl2007]

This is where I saw many great shows, but during high school and college we attended a lot of Admirals hockey games here. Good memories. I’m sure seeing Elvis here was amazing.⚡️

[@CarlAndersonhrphotog]

I worked as an usher at Scope during both of those shows. The performances were incredible.

Lucky, lucky man!! TCB ⚡️🕺👑

[@lornahattler4782]

My parents took me and my little brother to see Elvis that day. I was 12 years old. I remember the singers walking off stage. I also remember Elvis giving a lady in the audience a ring off his finger because another lady took a scarf that she caught. My first concert and probably the best of all.

[@johnbrown504]

My mother, grandmother and aunts were at that show. One of my aunts fainted from hysteria.

Sill looks like a great arena. Beautiful story about the little girl. Brilliant video 👍

[@Bingo-from-bluey1567]

Hi, I am the little girl in the video, but I am not blind?? Don’t know where the confusion is. But it was definitely an awesome moment for me and my family.

[@myelvischannel1992]

[@LindaD68]

What a beautiful architectural structure! Unique! Great pics of Elvis and audio! I noticed a badge he is wearing. One from maybe an officer from Norfolk??? My husband was stationed at Fort Eustis Army base close to Norfolk and our brother-in-law was at The Norfolk Navy Base both in 1968. Shortly after, they were both shipped to Vietnam, both did 2 tours there. Thank you both for your great info and detail to all these places Elvis performed at!! Keep TCB ⚡️🕺👑

[@mikem957]

Nice arena to still be standing and active.👍

[@davidbrennan3613]

I can only imagine what an incredible thrill it must have been to see him live,he was a gift from god. Excellent video as always

[@y_uwannaknowmynamehuh741]

I wasn’t born until 1980 however, as a Norfolk native I had no idea about Elvis’s tour here and where he stayed. Very amazing and informative video. Thank you! 🤝

[@nancyhanson9074]

Que trabalho sensacional mostrar os locais por onde Elvis Presley, fez seus shows e comparar com hoje, que espetáculo

[@MrLifesavers1]

Very cool! This venue screams 1970's. Nice that it is still around.

[@WitmanClan]

Thank you 🙏 🧜‍♀️ 🙏

[@pedroantoniomucillo4290]

Greetings from Brazil . I love your videos , to me an Elvis fan outside US the videos and information you bring to us is gold . The only way to visit the venues Elvis performed is through your videos . Thanks for the excellent work to keep the memory of the King alive.

[@williamfields9983]

I was raised in Chesapeake and Suffolk Virginia. On July 20th 1975 at the 8:30 show a friend and I had the opportunity to see Elvis in concert. I have heard the bootleg soundtrack from the afternoon show but in the last few years there has also been a bootleg of the evening show and when I do listen to it it takes me back to that day and that evening. Where I was sitting I was so far back and so high Elvis just look like a white spot on stage but he put a great show on. Plus my ticket for the evening show at the time was $10. Thank you for sharing the Norfolk Scope and its history because I do remember when it was built. I also have been in the Hampton Roads Coliseum but not for a Elvis concert

[@epbackontour]

William thanks for sharing your story!!

[@williamfields9983]

I lived on Military Highway in Chesapeake in a trailer park right next to Bowers Hill. I also remember going to Military Circle to shop

[@marcelofelix2557]

Good video guys.

[@63RobWanders]

Great video again, guys! Xxx

[@epbackontour]

Thank you !!

[@elvisfan61]

Hmm, I've not seen a lot of these photos. I didn't pay attention, but I wonder if Elvis wore that badge on stage. LOL! Great shots. It gives me chills to hear the 2001 theme being played while you're in the arena, and you know exactly when Elvis hits the stage from the screams of the audience. I love it. Thank you for another great video. Hope they save the Sheraton Hotel. That'd be fantastic.

[@keithhuotari2571]

Another winner!! Loved the video. Thank you!!

[@wesmcgee1648]

I remember he played at Hirsch Coliseum in Shreveport a few weeks earlier and wore the Phoenix jumpsuit as I recall.

[@nathaniman7293]

I was at the 2:30 show, what a show it was!

[@noonerstrickland1743]

Great job gents! I thoroughly enjoy your content and love how you guys put the modern day video with the actually audio from Elvis’ concert. Well done! TCB ⚡️

[@njaneardude]

This is so awesome! I was out of the concert loop back then, but wishing now I was 😄

[@cameronborrett1917]

What an amazing building!..I guess Elvis never really got the chance to see much, just the car entrance, changing area and stage.

[@iDATUS]

When I saw the hotel, I was thinking what a lovely looking building. Goes very well with the stadium. Good to hear there are efforts to save it as it really is special. Both should have Elvis plague on them.

[@rikrushton6826]

Thank you Jay and Michael for another amazing "Back on Tour". I have always respected the extra effort you both put in to your videos. I eagerly await your next one and as always send great appreciation for what you both continue to do. Best wishes for continued good health from Downunder Australia 🙏👌👌🙏

What a cool venue

[@marshallhortig4822]

I attended that evening concert at scope. For me seeing him in the state he was at that time was very sad.

[@kitswithkaren5003]

A very unusual arena.Would be nice if the hotel was saved it seems a pity to tare it down.🐻🤗👍

Love your channel. My hometown.

[@epbackontour]

Thank you for your kind words !! Tell your friends!

[@emsteph]

Great video series. I Googled the evening show to see about the badge he wore on stage. Never seen him do that before. Looks like his own as a photo exists of him in the limo before the show wearing it. Same show where 3 of his female singers left the stage after he insulted a couple of them.

[@epbackontour]

Possibly given to him by Norfolk police before the show. Was common for police departments to give Elvis badges when he performed in their area.

[@Cindy-ou4gd]

Wow! Elvis at 4:23🤩🤩

[@drewdunn2066]

Elvis definitely stayed at that hotel. When I was a young kid in the late 80's, the lady who cut my hair once told me that she waited outside that hotel all night long after the concert until he left the next day just to give him roses and called him "king" when she handed him the flowers. She said he just took them and rolled off. I remember thinking she was a nut, but also kinda hot for an older lady. I think it used to be called the Sheraton, then it became doubletree, then it became what you see now.

[@epbackontour]

Thanks for that story!!

[@drewdunn2066]

@@epbackontour No problem. It's actually kind of weird that ever since she told me that story, I think of her waiting for Elvis every time I see that building. Then I see your video 35 years later and almost rolled out of my chair laughing. Small world.

[@greenhithemafia]

It's also t famous concert venue where a couple of t sweets and Kathy walked off t stage over something Elvis had been saying over t few shows.

[@tommyboo21]

Happy note to end on, with efforts underway to save the hotel. Do we know the reason for the turnaround in the decision? Have seen the photo of Elvis hugging the little girl for years, and happy to finally learn the touching story behind the photo. Great upload.

[@epbackontour]

Thank you Tommy! Not sure as to why they changed their mind on this but we will see if they come through!

[@vmaxxxxxxx]

The little blind girl… I was there at the afternoon show sat about 3/4 of the way back halfway up. It was a very good show and Elvis mentioned that the acoustics were not good in Scope and he also said it look like a spaceship. As for the little blind girl I was in contact with someone who knew her through Facebook and the lady told me that she lives in Chesapeake Virginia now and she is in her 50s and she is still blind. There is a story going around which is not true that Elvis paid for her eye surgery and she could see you but as I said it’s not true. She stays out of the spotlight evidently she doesn’t have a Facebook page for herself but I did see her in a photo of a relative.

[@adrian-vm7yb]

how many did this hold

[@myalfie]

It’s a pity the little girl couldn’t be traced and interviewed about the meeting on stage?
