Elvis in Roanoke, Virginia: EP Back on Tour

[@robgarland3153]

That was my grandfather speaking at the Civic Center after Elvis died.

[@karentarkington236]

Wow that crowd after his death, the loyality is amazing

[@iDATUS]

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.

[@janicerigney3472]

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.

[@jonburrows2684]

Did you see Ed and Lorraine there? They were there.

[@roberto0561]

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

[@mikem957]

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 👑.

[@sheliabrooks6706]

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!!!

[@davidbrennan3613]

Another class video ,it's such a shame he never got to tour england and ireland in the seventies and it's a shame he died so young

[@barbaratrubenbach115]

thank you for the memories. I was there for all his shows, and had tickets for his next concert, that unfortunately did not come about. I was in the center 5th row on the floor. No one ever took his place.

Great video. I forgot about the big gatherings after his passing. I was 10 years old but remember the entire country was so sad and the dominant song during the holidays was Elvis’ Blue Christmas.

I was born in Roanoke. It's good to know Elvis was there.

[@davidbowles7047]

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.

[@epbackontour]

Thank you !!

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

[@myelvischannel1992]

@@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

[@debbieminton9589]

@@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 !!

My little sister was in roanoke in 1988. Greetings from spain

[@jonburrows2684]

I might remember here, no kidding. Was she here for the student exchange program and was she at Patrick Henry?

[@joanne26]

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 -

[@keithhuotari2571]

Beautifully done. Keep up the great work!!

[@lewhite99]

That was awesome! First time seeing the photos of Elvis and Linda walking out of the hotel.

[@bernerborisholland8034]

[@carolinjersey5381]

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.

[@elfriedekupfer931]

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. 👑

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 ⚡️🕺👑

very nice man i like him

[@mikejaxn]

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.

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.
