Elvis Presley Florida Theater 1956 Photo Line Up Spa Guy

[@cherrydouglas2671]

Wow was that fun! When I was a kid they played Sound of Music there. I saw it 9 times in this theatre. Never knew Elvis had been there. How much fun is that to find out! Keep up the good work!

[@alma4136]

Keep bringing us places were Elvis has been. Love to here about them from Cali.

[@patlamm3741]

I was at this concert with my mom and dad and grandmother. I was 3 years old and i remember every detail. I was screaming in the aisle like the big girls were. My mom said Elvis pointed his guitar at me and said how cute I was. I love my little tiny part in Elvis History.

[@SpaGuy]

Great Story!!

[@mckennalynn1916]

Awww that's such a nice story ❤

[@valeriefelitto6336]

So many places have changed--you know the American way--if it's 10 years old we have to tear it down. It's nice to see an original

[@StephenOshea]

great video . wow Elvis had a huge line up for his show . i hope the restoration project for the building looks amazing . would be so nice to see it restored . thanks for posting

[@genemadsen8141]

Another Great Video Billy. I Can't get enough of these Early Theatre's. The Workmanship is Wonderful. Hope they don't renovate it to much. History Should Not be Torn down or Messed with.

Thanks Billy really enjoyed this video. Elvis image pops up every were.

[@soniagardencourtreporter1173]

Great video! Love it that you are in Florida!

[@cherokeegypsy2617]

The Polk Theatre in Lakeland is another location of Elvis’ 1950s concert tours! You should check that one out, too! Beautiful old theatre!

[@josejurado9644]

Very very simmilar building to the Olympia in Miami, a bit less artistic perhaps, but it quickly reminded me of it. It is even placed simmilarly, with the backstreet entrance exactly the same as the Olympia. I have photographed the Olympia everytime I have been to Miami as, for me, it is the most iconic theater he ever played during his '56 tour . I guess you will soon visit that one too. It would be fantastic if you could cover the Richmond theater in Richmond. Good job as usual guys, thank you.

[@lindaweinstein4846]

Spa Guy, you always are right on point !! I love where you find the exact places EP walked and doors he went thru and the stadiums and theaters he performed. I LOVE THIS WHERE HE REALLY WAS AND ITS SUCH A THRILL ⭐️❤️🙏🏼💯⚡️⭐️THANK YOU ALWAYS ! From a fan who cries after I watch and during 🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶💔Love where the story came from !!! ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING 😉🙌🏼

Thanks Spa Guy, would love to see a concert of Elvis there with holograms of the King today in real time magic....

[@thomasbrady8056]

That's very cool! Great to see the line-up of the photos with the actual buildfing. Excellent investigatory work as always Spa Guy!

[@bunnymorris750]

Thank you Spa guy it's so great to see the places that Elvis has been I can't believe so many still exist. Thanks to you Elvis fans get to enjoy the same kind of journey

[@karendadd483]

Spa guy when you took the pic of the front lobby inside it looked like the theater looked like they keeped it looking original from back in the day so I googled Florida theater and its beautiful inside ..real nice architecture..it holds 1900 people ..probably sold out when Elvis performed there

The Woolworth store was on Bay Street. I used to eat lunch at their food counter. Also got a frequent Coca-Cola with vinegar, which was considered to be a tonic, or pick-me-up. I'm 74 and remember when Elvis was at the Florida Theater.

I don`t believe in coincidences. The Elvis graphite was there for a reason ;) Great video. Thank you :)

Fantastic venue. There for a show in 2017. Definitely worth the trip to see inside. Don't have your Starsky hunches, but appears to be original inside. Love your channel, keep up the great work!!

[@joanne26]

Hello from England Great to see an original building connected to Elvis NOT PULLED DOWN and its being updated so thats good news

He is that popular the could be pictures of Elvis anywhere. It’s just a coincidence tho I agree 🇬🇧👍👑👑🎵

Thanks,SpaGuy. Any back story on what band Elvis played with and how they traveled to that show? He was just starting out in those early performances.

[@SpaGuy]

He was very famous when these photos were made.. I have a ton of videos about the early days on this channel..

[@BonTonRule]

@@SpaGuy oh,ok. How far back are your videos to locate them,? I'm fairly new to your channel.any particular order or time frame? Thanks

[@Dr.Pepper001]

Elvis drove to Jacksonville in a huge car (not yet obsessed with Cadillacs), and then jumped back into the car after the concert and drove to a show in Alabama.

[@beehappy3209]

Wow this was good. I would like to think the graffiti of Elvis was done to show that he did go through the door opposite.. 👌.... nice one Spaguy n Aldo 👍🙏

[@Ted2414-h4d]

Spa Guy I saw George Thorogood there in 17. Great old theatre. I was with my wife and we walked by that alley. Sketchy is right. Glad I was armed!

[@dianephillips6751]

History matters!!

[@michellevolkmann5675]

Hi, Cool

[@clarestevens81]

Got to keep a look out to see if you get to go inside! That line up you did in the alleyway is amazing it's cool you found it! Sad how people have to graffiti everything though strangely cool that the graffiti opposite was Elvis! 😎

[@emmagrant3312]

I lived in jax for 11 years 2001-2012 been past that theatre a hundred + times and had no idea Elvis played there.

[@larrykiefer6109]

Wow, I wish I knew you were coming. I live in the area and actually used to work in the Florida theatre building. There are offices upstairs as well as a "screening room" that was used for movies back in the day. Nowadays, the artists actually park their tour bus and equipment trucks right in front of the theater on Forsyth Street, off to the right when facing it, to unload gear onto the stage. The artists "sneak in" via the same route rather than the way Elvis did in the rear. Next time bring your Bass and we can jam a little.

[@SpaGuy]

Larry can you get me into the theater? I plan to come back and film more.. My brother lives there..

[@larrykiefer6109]

I have a photograph of me and my buddy standing on the sidewalk under the Elvis sign for that show at the Florida Theater. I was 12 years old.

Did you go to the show??

You have to be one cool guy to wear pink socks. Elvis was a cool guy.

Now where is that Sign? Maybe in a Local Museum. Also the widening of the Theater seats is funny , but surely is true. Thanks Billy

Muito bom agora está traduzido para o português sou do Brasil gosto muito dos seus vídeos e de Elvis

[@jupite1888]

Think i saw Trey with a spray can going in that laneway!

[@tp5776]

Billy, you run into people all the time by incidental encounters that add info and pieces to the puzzle. Whoever painted that Elvis may have been told stories by their Grandmother about seeing Elvis there - You never know. By 1958 Elvis had been in and out of a lot of back doors :)

[@parkington6550]

Agree -- it may have seemed unrealistic to Billy, but the people who live there know their history.

[@kelliintexas3575]

You keep this up & you will have walked a mile in his shoes!

[@Dr.Pepper001]

The Florida Theater is awesome. I used to take my girlfriend to the balcony, which went up and up and back and back until at the very back the screen looked as small as a postage stamp. That's where we sat. Hubba hubba. Elvis was really late getting to the concert. The animals in the audience got restless. When he finally arrived, he sang 2 songs and left. A lot of people were pissed.

[@carolinachris9113]

I defiantly wouldn't wanna be there after dark

[@user-rr3yw9dn1l]

I hate it when people spray paint stuff. Ignorant.

Wow !!!! Super history. Yous stepped on the very place Elvis walked ! Only time is between that day to the day yous were there. My guess someone knows Elvis played there ...pasted down stories from grampa or ? and honestly the drawing is so well done. Ya creepy back lane too. Even pic of devil . Not crazy but have had an encounter with an invisible demon in 1977 in my bedroom at 3:30 am so ....I am so clued in Ephesians 6:10-20....( oh my as I'm typing this my mom is watching a catholic mass and the priest just said we wrestle against demonic powers ...what are the odds of that ? ) Elvis was one busy guy in the 1950s 60s 70s ...as Joe E said he may of died at 42 but Elvis packed in many life times it would take many lives to do under normal circumstances. Food for thought : Elvis we have 1500 concerts for you to do ....and then ya can retire ya can start in 1956 and end in yr 2000. Elvis replies " no let's get them done by 1977 as I had to give people free houses cars jewellery and TCB necklaces and donations to causes..... And I want to buy a big mansion and jet planes cars motorbikes .....
