In 1976 it was the Holiday Inn and it was nice back then. I live about three miles from the hotel and the Penthouse was super nice in 76.

I actually played in a high school basketball tournament 2 weeks before Elvis came to Freedom Hall. I remember seeing posters on the walls promoting the concerts! It was very exciting to think Elvis was going to be in the same building!

Billy,I live in Bristol and Ilived here in bristol all my life.A couple of facts,a buissness man name of Jack trayer owned this hotel and several minute marts in the tri-cities area. He is deceased now 2.The car was used the 1st nite,and because of the croud was so heavy and the second and 3rd nites the cowards was even bigger,so they had to use the bus, It was crazy.I was at the 1st concert.great concert. 3rd the bridge story I am not aware of. Thanks so much,you do a great job.PS If you want to see the 1st concert go to youtube ,type in Elvis march 17 1976.

The bridge story is not true.. I lived across the street.. That short bit of pavement was always there... where the pool was located, apartments backed up to that area. I did jump off the wall to see Elvis on the bus.. Gosh... so long ago..

I use to work with a guy that lives in Johnson City and as a kid he remembers attending the March ‘76 show at Freedom Hall with his mother. Thanks so much for posting!

Lol Thank you Billy, I appreciate your stories so much. ♥️......hey Billy, you need to come to Shreveport. There are all kinds of connections to Elvis here. And James Burton lives here and is the nicest guy in the world. He would probably talk with you. D.J. Fontana’s family is here. Lots of great stories from Louisiana Hayride to small stories, like Elvis donating a swimming pool the Forbing Boys Ranch. I could go on.......think about it.

I was in Bristol many years ago to see an Elvis Tribute artist named Eddie Miles, now retired. His show was at the holiday Inn, so when i saw this, i thought it was in the location where i saw him. It's not, plainly...his show was at the Big Modern hotel. I wish i had known then that this location was here. Could have gone. I ALWAYS look forward to your videos...ESPECIALLY your Elvis videos! I especially like the Elvis videos that are like this. Places he was and stayed...and when you show the comparison photos. LOVE IT Billy!!

Afternoon and we went directly to the Holiday Inn, sat in, what was at that time, the Volunteer restaurant, where the current auto is now. We sat in a booth next to Elvis' Dad, Vernon Presley, and his " Memphis Mafia". We waited for 5 hrs for Elvis to come out. White car the first night, bus the next 2 nights. We are actually in your photo of him getting in the white car. Mom almost touched him lol. We saw his show on Fri. Night. One of my coolest childhood memories. Thank you posting this!!

Another awesome video, Billy. You never fail to provide such interesting history and information. Elvis returned to Johnson City and played Freedom Hall again on February 19th, 1977. I wonder if he stayed here for that concert, and if the bridge was used then? Or, perhaps since it was only a single concert, he simply flew in, and just flew to the next venue the same day.
