Elvis Presley 1956 Concert Wilson NC Charles Coon High School Cliff's Hot Dog Part #2 of 2 Spa Guy

[@Dragionex29]

My aunt had the newspaper framed from when Elvis Presley came down here. She was a big fan of his. I now have the framed paper since her passing this year.

[@ramonaeichelberger4628]

I enjoyed both parts. Thank you to the nice people for letting you in, so we can have a look. Nice history on this video. Thank you Spa Guy.

[@gaylebardrick7725]

Such a beautiful hall. 50s is my favourite Elvis era, loved his clothes, the attitude, the pink caddi.

[@mrDCunningham]

Elvis opened for Faron Young in 1955 down here in Fort Myers and after the show a friend of mine took him to get a burger. This vidio reminded me of that as he went to the hot dog stand after the show you were talking about. I love this stuff 👍🏻😎

[@PennysLifeWithLove]

Very grand and Im happy it's still there

[@grayphotojournal]

Cliff's Drive-In was the place back in the day - there was a really cool neon/light bulb lettered sign out front in the shape of a burger. Over the years the Five-Points area has mostly turned to shit and probably wont see anything of its former glory of post WWII working class residents. Coon High School was the iconic high school in Wilson, years later it became Wilson's eighth-grade middle school, closed for several years and went to decay. It was renovated to the apartments seen now with the auditorium preserved. Many at the time of Elvis' Wilson shows said he was quit the hit but then some thought he was just a fad. Thanks for doing the Wilson videos about Elvis and others playing during a monumental time! The vacant Shriners building where Elvis played is still on site downtown New Bern NC.

[@rayfegan8701]

Wow. So cool to see the school Elvis played in all them years ago. Imagine being around at that time seeing Elvis at that stage in his life rockin' on that stage.👍😎

[@justpassingthru3186]

If I could go back in time and pick one Elvis concert to go to, that one would be it!😊

[@SpaGuy]

Aloha from Hawaii..

[@dougdickason]

I think seeing Elvis here is a good choice. Just looking at the auditorium, it looks like it's a perfect size for the size show they were doing then and it looks like it would sound very good in there too, not to mention, there probably wasn't a bad view any where in there. Don't know if it would be my first pick but I would consider it for sure.

[@craigmiller7313]

@@SpaGuy same here!

[@delladawn1149]

That’s The Way It Is concerts However I did see him in concert in 1976. Have the half ticket. Back then they tore them in half. Was to again in 1977. Still have my ticket. I couldn’t take it back because it would be like losing him all over again. I will never sell it.

[@mckennalynn1916]

Why this one in particular?

[@gerardogolaco4575]

WOW, fantastic ELVIS HISTORY. Yes, I could almost hear screams of adulation and got another rush of goosebumps up my spine. Thanks much Mr. BILLY!!!

[@bonniebrown6960]

This why we love your video's about Elvis . I don't know anyone else that knows the history like you and your team does . You do such a great job telling these stories and the history about Elvis and it still amazes me that you got to be friends with Scotty Moore . As always love the story about Elvis . Thank you Spa Guy for sharing another awesome video with us !!

[@jamestucker5903]

"GREAT JOB" SPA GUY!!! Its amazing that these places are still around.

[@3BricksHigher]

I can't say enough good things about this series; The way it was described, the excitement, the history... We really enjoyed this series SG!

[@lilarreola27]

Im 30. I've lived in Wilson, NC all my life and i never knew about any of this! Thanks for this! I love history!

[@dianephillips8879]

Another cool piece of history

[@jodycarpenter3444]

Another amazing video! Every time Billy does one of these I wish I was there! I’m from NC and I LOVE HISTORY! 👍👍

[@jansorensen]

Thank you Billy for sharing video from Wilson NC Charles Coon High School where Elvis Presley and Scotty. Bill & DJ played a concert 1956.I think this was the start of Elvis most happyes period and years in Elvis career .Great to see that the people so have bought flats in this High School have preserved all the original architecture it’s absolutely, and very grand to see and it make me happy that it's still there .

[@frankvattelana6728]

Billy, You Simply Out-Do Yourself with each and every next video....I can't say "Thank You" Enough as You Bring us all, yet more pieces of the Elvis Puzzle that Nobody in EPE or Graceland offers. You truly do Your homework with regards to research and it pays off! What a Beautiful Auditorium that tells such a story not only in Elvis' Rise to Stardom, But a part of the Evolution of Rock n Roll and its History.....It also brings to attention, the Hard Work & Hustle that Elvis, Scotty, DJ & Bill put in to make appearances and their Travels to promote themselves....You Bring It Home Billy! Thank You a Million Fold! Loved the 2 part series from Start to Finish!

[@brcisna]

Very nice chronological of the dates happening here SG. Like you said,it is neat to think what was going through Elvis,Scotty,Bill,Dj ,minds at this time. Rollin up and down the road in Caddy,,or Lincoln,,from town to town. they would have played for $0 at this point. A whole new sound was coming on the scene for teenagers.The old HS is so great looking the old European masonry work is obvious in the arched entry ways and windows,1920's ,,and so neat and solid inside,,,up to the brass rails in balcony. Class all the way. Great stuff SG Thanks.

[@OnTheHighWatch]

No one tells a story like SPA GUY....great video...

[@timparker382]

That place is amazing!!! Glad they repurposed it, and didn't tear it down.

[@starlitekaraoke113]

I was reading the comment and I have to agree this would definitely be one concerts I would have loved to have seen..

[@TCBSonny]

Thank you so much Billy, both of the 1955/1956 videos are very cool indeed! Great to see those old locations that are almost the same as back in the day. Thank you!

[@robbiefutch6932]

Another great video about the One And Only Elvis, ❤️🎤🎧🎹🎼❤️

[@brendalawrence6732]

Cool about the hot dog shop! How cool would it have been to attend that concert and then stop off at the hog dog shop to grab and bite to eat and run into Elvis! lol I thought it was cool that he played at the high school to for Valentine's as well. I do love that they made the high school into apartments and didn't tear it down. Love that it still looks the same on the outside and even a lot on the inside. It is amazing how they kept things original. How cool would it be to live where Elvis played?! I could live there. Especially with that auditorium, it is beautiful. Just when I think that most of the Elvis stories have been told, you come up with more places and stories Billy. Loved this one!!

[@victoriapapesh6892]

Awesome video...love the Elvis'perspective from the stage....😎

[@jotutu3194]

Thanks again for this video. Great to see my sister's old high school. Talked to her and she says..."there was so much yelling and screaming you couldn't hear the music. He was surrounded by adults and you couldn't get within half a block of him." She enjoyed your video and recalled all the times she was on that stage for school events. She said it hasn't really changed much. Looking forward to your future videos. I'm sure you'll have interesting stuff, as always.

[@SpaGuy]

That is cool glad it brought back memories!!

[@judyjames7201]

Great video Spa guy tryn to imagine what it was like that night and that auditorium totally amazing absolutely beautiful building thanks again for another piece of the Elvis puzzle.

[@starlitekaraoke113]

Great stuff. Just fascinating how much history there is when it concerns Elvis. So much accomplished in such a short amount of time.

[@vickiatkins9061]

Wow. I love this. Only you. You do have a way with words. Just call corporate that was good. I'm glad to get to see these things of history. I love love love your channel. It is truly. THE BEST. Always. Great to watch new finds on. Elvis. It is so interesting. Also becoming a millionaire in a matter of months. Back then that had to be overwhelming. To. A poor boy. from. Tupelo. Then he buy a mansion. And the thing about. Elvis. Never ever took the big head. And never could understand WHY. They wanted to tear his clothes off. Cuz they never did that to anyone else. Elvis was the first for a many many many. Different things. He really got it going thanks again. Without you we would not know these great things. Be safe and God bless

[@canizalest]

Unbelievable -- Thanks Billy

[@David-hn7zm]

Wow amazing billy you're amazing I'm stunded my friend thanks for doing this !!! I think after this show as you say with all that money Elvis tighten up after the show !!!! Thanks again billy !!! God bless you !!

Amazing how Elvis Presley open door for you and Jordan left and right. I Watch Coffee Talk that was funny so cool to see you on the Coffee talk I saw Daze with Jordan the Lion. Couldn't wait to see you on guys on the Coffee talk again

[@redogsummers]

Lovely filming again Spa Guy, my imagination runs wild picturing that concert taking place on that low stage..the sounds, the atmosphere, the excitement and the screams when Elvis appears...as close to time traveling as it gets..Many thanks, Mike, UK 🇬🇧

[@joesantos468]

Wow Billy, that School is quite something; wonderful looking Buildingl. Guess in this case they were able to save the Building for living quarters instead of Condos. So refreshing; you rarely see that in Canada. That would have been something, seeing a young Elvis playing in such a small venue; such a low Stage too!

[@bonniebarnett7202]

Hi Billy 😊😁! Wonderful 😊 Elvis history here, So happy this was shown, Thank you! Hope you have a wonderful day, Your friend Smiles 😁 Bonnie

[@Rowlandph]

I knew someone, a friend of mine..Lewis Austin, who, went to that concert!...He and his father, L.D. Austin..who later drove in NASCAR..went. ..and years later, (in Jr. High) when I met Lewis..he told me about it. Both..have passed on...He also mentioned Slim Short..who, was later...at Channel 9, here in Greenville. Nice to see this!

[@rustyruss2962]

Thanks Spa Guy stay safe in ur travels GodBless ❤️🙏

❤️❤️Loving it♥️♥️

[@michaeljones6471]

This is my home town. I used to have a piece of the stage that I tore up one time when a friend of mine and myself had entered (without permission) before it was renovated, and was condemned. I used to impersonate Elvis when I was younger. One of the keyboard players that used to play for me. His mother was a student there at the time Elvis came. Before the show she told the security guard that she had forgot her books and he let her in the school. She said she walked around the corner, and standing right there by himself in the hallway was Elvis. She said “I am not suppose to be back here”. And he invited her to come talk to him and he autographed and gave her a scarf. This was a scarf (unlike the 70’s) that had his picture on the scarf. I spoke with her and held the scarf one time. Very nice lady, she has passed away now. Also my dad got in line to get a ticket, they had two lines at the ticket booths. He got about 10 people from the booth and they said “Anyone who wants to see Elvis has to get in a single file line, at this point they consolidated the two lines into 1. My father got pushed all the way back to the water tower. When he got about 10 people from the door again, they shut the door and said it was sold out. My dad wondered around the back of the school, and he saw Elvis’s pink Cadillac. which he thought was the coolest thing ever. And promised himself one day that he would have one. Which he did, and restored it to a pink and white one just like Elvis’s but dad was a 57. Great video man. Thanks for sharing.

[@brandonhigson6788]

Thank you for this! I had always heard Elvis played in Wilson but never knew the details. Also never knew the history of the location where the Mexican restaurant is now. I have eaten there several times and, as an avid Elvis fan, it is great to know that he was once on that spot.

Just a thought Billy, I wonder if the room still exists in the Shrine Mosque, Springfield, MO, where a 10 year old John Wilkinson met Elvis during a Saturday sound check, and told him, "You can't play worth a damn." Such a legendary story that's true.

[@SpaGuy]

I am aware of that story but do not think it is true.. Urban legend..

[@mrDCunningham]

@@SpaGuy it is a true story Billy. Unless John made it up. But he told the story himself. Elvis saw John play at the whisky agogo and asked John if be was the same kid that told him he couldn't okay guitar worth a damn. True story as far as I know.

[@SpaGuy]

David we have investigated it and don't find it to be true.. The timeline and distance doesn't work.. It is a Great story though.. I plan to go there and investigate it to be sure but up to now sadly we don't believe it is true..

[@aubiejazz]

Thanks Spa Guy! In Sheffield Alabama I can remember seeing Jerry Lee Lewis play in a auditorium and it has been said that Elvis played there also but I did not see him. I would have been about 9 years old when Elvis was there. I have heard the people here in Muscle Shoals say that Sam Phillips loved to bring his artists to Sheffield. Spa Guy, have you done any videos on the performances in Sheffield AL? Thanks for this one, and thanks for taking us inside!!!!

Hi Spa Guy! Have you ever been to the Fort Homer Hesterly Armory in Tampa FL? My mom saw Elvis there in 1955 and 1956. I've never been inside, but have driven by several times. It looks a lot like it did back then. Great video! I'm so glad you were able to go inside!
