Motorhome RV Living | Visiting Elvis and Graceland Mansion in Memphis Tennessee

[@NFL61]

I lived there in the early and mid 70's. It was cool to go by and see him out on his horse or other toys playing in the yard.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Yeah, he seemed to be fairly accessible when he was at home in Graceland. Thanks for sharing!

[@happyhobos4194]

I was a kid when he died but I still LOVE his music! There will never be another artist like Elvis!

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Me too, I remember my mom losing her mind! Lol!

[@MakingMotorhomeMemories]

Definitely a bucket list! Elvis had the most influence on the music industry. Nobody else even came close. Very good video, my friends! ❤

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

If you are an Elvis fan, you will really enjoy Graceland. There is a ton of memorabilia!

[@PidasianHippie]

Your editing on this video is amazing. I know I don't appreciate how much work you put into these videos enough, but it is obvious in this video. You have given the most comprehensive tour of Graceland that I have seen.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Well thank you April! I really appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@WaywardWaggs]

I have never been there but my wife has. We hit the road in about 18 months. We have already decided graceland will be one of our first stops.

[@swoodrow19]

Amazing to see, I'm in the uk and have been an elvis fan all my life but am still yet to get to Graceland, great behind the scenes for me, thank you

[@henrymiller4280]

Bucket list !!!

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Sweet!

[@joanhazelgrove9444]

I saw Elvis in concert in Tampa just before he died. Awesome concert.

[@NFL61]

One of my biggest regrets was passing up a chance to see him in concert in Memphis. I've been kicking myself in the butt every since.

[@bed685]

I do not consider myself an "Elvis nut" but, my wife and I were married at the Graceland Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas back in 2003. We took our first anniversary trip to Memphis and did the Graceland tour. Elvis and Las Vegas are almost synonymous. They are both way over the top! Las Vegas resembles Elvis at the "entertainer" while Graceland gave me a deeper appreciation for the "man" Elvis was. I hope you did the Sun Studio tour as well. Great video!

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Thanks for sharing Brian! Appreciate your perspective of Elvis and Las Vegas, as well!

[@1RodeoMom]

Music is Universal.

[@Donna_B]

Really sounds like a cool tour to take! Many more people for generations to come will discover his music! A music icon for sure!😎

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

I don't know if Elvis' music will survive much past our generation Donna. It will be interesting to see.

[@ramblingrose6967]

Great video ! I went in early 1978 none of those things were there .We went up the driveway threw the musical gates ,you could not go in the house ,I think people were still living there but you could go out back and pay your respects ,there were horses out back, no guides , no tourists or fees , just me and my friend traveling and of course we had to go to Graceland ! I have wanted to go back for the inside tour but that I hope to do .I still have all the pictures ,I do love peanut butter and banana sandwiches ,I use to serve them at the oldies bar I worked in during the 80s and 90s .That was a neighborhood ,they must of just bought everything in the area to make all those attractions .Wow .

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Very cool, thanks for sharing! The fried peanut butter and banana were interesting...very good though! I think they did buy up the neighborhood!

[@ethanmorris6993]

Elvis Presley fan

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Awesome!

[@peacedove9513]

Elvis was still alive when I went to Graceland, he was driven out the gate tied his head gave a salute and we all melted.... Your video makes me want to go back....✌💖😉🎶🎵🐱Ozzy

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

That would have been a very cool experience!

[@ka1133]

The King is ALIVE!! LOL ... Say him live twice at the Convention Centre in Niagara Falls, New York around 1975 and again in 1977 ...Great Show!!!

[@renemccullough3099]

Loved Elvis, can still remember where and when I heard of his death; cried all the way home! Saw him in concert in 71 in Albuquerque. Strangest concert; all ages from teens to grandparents! Thanks for sharing this, loved it! He was one of the greatest artists of all time, my opinion of course!

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

He affected many people's lives...it's incredible!

[@virgloh8934]

Thank you for the tour because I could never afford the tickets....Have fun...

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

I'm going to have to give them a heads up because that seems to be the general consensus! I agree!

[@francisa751]

You people, are really competent, in what you re doing. Another enlightening video.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Thank you!

[@retiredandpreppingquilting2350]

Thank you for sharing. I grew up on his music. I was a young age when he started singing.

[@joycebarnett5813]

I was watching a documentary about Elvis and did you know that he did not want to be a singer. He wanted to be an actor. Just FYI. Just thought I would pass it on. Thanks for taking me along. Some of the displays were really cool. Stay safe and happy adventuring. Love ya Joyce

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Thanks for sharing Joyce...I think they mentioned that somewhere...Thank for joining us!

[@TheresOnlyOneWayToRock]

That JetStar is a sight to behold. I've always been partial to the Lockheed brand.

[@sheilahag]

Thanks for the peek into Elvis Graceland!!!!! Ya, I thought the tour was JUST of his HOUSE!!! My oh my!!! I’ll put it down as a “Bucket List”. You see, I was born in 1952. I love Elvis AND the Beatles!!!! I saw Elvis in concert (during his fat period) in Omaha but I never got to see the Beatles (they were playing in Kansas City but my Mom wouldn’t let me go).

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

It was pretty cool....no pictures of Elvis during his "down" years. Thanks for sharing Sheila!

[@TheProgrammerGuy]

I went to Graceland in 1980. We parked directly across the street from the mansion in a little strip mall (or something like that) and walked across the street, through the gates, and up to the house on foot, with no guides. We could stop and walk around as we wanted pretty much. I don't remember the exact price, but it was less than $15 per person.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Yep, times have changed for sure!

[@pacinmaine]

Paul, it was great to see you getting your "GROOVE" on....lol

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Lol!

[@honestman511a]

another awesome video,i would say this would be between a day trip and bucket list for me,cant understand why no videos, lol

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Hey Phil...I think these places think everyone will see a video and not go in person. That will happen with some people, but they probably wouldn't go anyway. The others, like Lorena and I, will see a video and think, "man, we have to go see that in person!"

[@redhotz21]

I heard it was gawdy, but I like it. No boring drab Neutral tones there!

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

It wasn't as gaudy as we expected actually.

[@seannielsen6587]

The Lisa Marie is a former Delta Airlines Aircraft. The Convair 880. Another great video!! Thank you!!

[@barrym4079]

Thanks for the video. The prices are quite high for visiting the house of someone who died so long ago. Thanks to you, I think I will pass. Will be going through Memphis this winter on our rv tour of the southwest from Ontario.

[@gregdawildmanfast5643]

You made I was wondering if you were . Went there in the mid 80's what an awesome place..

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Pretty cool!

[@ricks.1318]

Another GREAT video you guys .... "Thanks" for the info, and sharing with us ALL !!!! Be safe on the road ...

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Thanks Rick...safe travels to you sir!

[@lovemetalmusic1]

Thanks For Sharing The Experiance and informational content on the man who changed the world. Love your vlogs and videos and looking forward to a continued fact finding tour into history as you both share your travels with the interweb world. all the best on your adventure. A thankful fan from downunder (Australia)

[@TheProgrammerGuy]

BTW, you should come to my town, Fort Smith, AR. We have Fort Chaffee where Elvis was first sent to begin his Army life. It was the place of the famous haircut, which is a small museum now.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

We rolled through Ft Smith on our way back to Vegas.

[@Justaguyinnc]

Nice tour..it has grown in the last 10-15 years since I lived there... to bad you miss out on the great BBQ Memphis has to offer and probably passed on the deep fried burgers and catfish houses too... I am sure you made it down to Beale Street though for some good music.. Memphis has some great venues for music fans.. Safe Travels!

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Memphis BBQ was on our radar, but we couldn't find a place that would work for us. We did hit Beale and it was rocking! Safe travels!

[@george9258]

looks like a great time

[@roydavis2242]

I'm a boomer but not a real Elvis fan. I liked his music and some of his movies but not a real fan. I understand how he was an icon to many and know many of your followers will love this video. I agree with Lorena that it is an "In the area" kinda attraction.

[@IvyRoad]

Elvis pre-dates Boomers. He was in between Boomer parents - the 2nd WW generation, and boomers. He was born in 1935 while the very oldest boomers were not born until 1946 and the birth boom lasted until 1964, so he could have been a boomer parent. He started recording before most boomers were born. I'm also a boomer and Elvis was a "golden oldie" when I was growing up listening to the radio.

[@blondejour]

great entertaining video. Definitely will go.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Thanks Laura!

[@rickpowell4048]

Ice Cream n all kinds of Cool Stuff.!!. @12.50.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Ice cream...yummy! Lol!

[@madie72451]

Have you seen the Elvis is alive Utube videos. Some minister guy that ppl say is Elvis. Great vlog of Graceland. Thanks

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Yeah, people just don't want to let him go! Lol!

[@whodatfanman]

I was in High School when I saw him in March 1977...he died 5 months later.

[@williambrancati6436]

I was watching one of your older videos from Old Tucson. If you visit the Pima Air & Space Museum, don't take the bus tour. It stops at every plane and gives its history. After an hour you'll be ripping your hair out. By the way, all of the locomotives are used to power some of the longest trains you will ever see. Coming from Ford's plants in Mexico loaded with cars and trucks. They are hundreds of train cars long. If you get caught at a crossing, you might be there an hour. At least it seems that long.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Thanks for sharing William! I've been wanting to visit the Pima Air and Space for a while.

[@benwatters9240]

When I was in first grade my family lived in Memphis. My parents told me Elvis, before he was what he became, use to date the girl that lived next door to us. Many times my parents saw Elvis waiting in his car parked out front of our neighbours house waiting for his girlfriend to come home from school. How wild is that?

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

That is pretty cool Ben!

[@elloweeze1]

I thought the mansion was all there was ,that is unbelievable the lengths they have gone to,

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

There is a bunch of memorabilia, for sure!

[@jf6395]

after seeing the tours prices....for me its a give it a pass and blow that cash on something else, but as always thanks for sharing you guys do a really nice job of giving an accurate assessment of what you see

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

I agree Jim...pretty pricey....definitely more geared towards hard-core Elvis fans.

[@steveblanck6067]

The downstairs was all that was available when I toured his house and it looks like they found a lot more frniture. And there is another grave.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Could be, I've never seen pictures before going.

[@526clark]

When you are in you need to go to Meridian, Mississippi and see the Jimmie Rodgers museum. He is the farther of Country. Elvis did some of his songs. Jimmie is the begin of it all. Hope you go, or look him up.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

I've never heard of Jimmie...I'll have to check him out.

[@calicojunctionisclosed]

Glad to have the tour as am sure I will never go. Very pricey but know they have to keep the place undated and staffed. I would rather personally spend the $$$ on zip lining in the Mega cave.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

We're more ziplining in a cave, kind of people, as well!

[@IvyRoad]

Elvis pre-dated the Beatles by quite some time. The Beatles presaged a wave of music (the "British Invasion") that eclipsed Elvis and moved his career into smaller venues and audiences. Elvis was one of the fathers of Rock and Roll and the Beatles were the children, the next generation. There was very little crossover among the fans as the fans, initially, were much younger than the Beatles themselves (all those screaming little girls which included me) and Beatles fans thought Elvis was very old fashioned.

[@garycampbell8663]

Liked the video will go the next time i go threw

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

That's awesome Gary!

[@twatson6252]

My god the prices are ridiculous. i went about 15 or so years ago and it was cheap. We enjoyed it. Only thing I remembered bad was When the little bus dropped us off at the front of the Mansion the guides herded us briskly into the mansion. Not letting us take pictures of the front. Saying we could take pictures when we left. Unknown to us they ran us out the back put us back on the bus and no way to get the pictures. We had to walk back across the street and stand at the gate and take pictures. Also the house was not near as big as I thought it would be. They also claimed at the time no flash pictures because the flash pictures would ruin the inside of the house which I thought was b.s. Elvis was Great though he was the best. Last I heard a few years ago the airplanes were being sold I guess that didn't happen. At 150 dollars a person I guess not lol.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Pictures were ok, video was frowned upon. Flash pictures are always frowned upon near art. Supposedly degrades certain artifacts...I've always thought that was bs, as well. I'm not a photo specialist and I don't know, but I'm betting there is no way that a flash from a camera, and especially from cell phones would hurt paintings. It's more annoying for people trying to look at the stuff with flashes going off constantly. Very pricey admission!

[@anitablades6033]

20 years ago it was just the house , cars, & plane. Someone has put a lot of money in it, it looks like. Is the White Castle still down the street?

[@usagorv8779]

When we were there they said we could video our tour. Maybe they don't allow it anymore.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Not allowed anymore.

[@LadyMarie880]

Elvis would teach every anybody any thing, all night until the sun came up or all had fallen to sleep. Ed Sullivan sure had issue with him The first time I seen Elvis I was very young and I had just got my two wheeler and had to ride to my Aunts who had TV to watch Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday night. But I didn't understand why the Girls were screaming and crying. I just wanted to see the Mexican Mouse puppet called Topo Gigio. When He die that to brought a new awareness to the music industry and medical industry. like who do what and when. and so on. Great video thanks Guys waiting to see if you take in the Peabody Hotel and the Cotton Exchange.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

You are correct...Elvis was a legend, and a cautionary tale, all in one!

[@JAARNO88]

they have changed the area so much i dont think elvis would recognise it today. way too disney for me. i first went there in 83 then 86 ....89 ......2002......2012.

[@marycharron8366]

Hello kids.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Hey mom!

[@george9258]

me and the wife have a motorhome trip to Graceland can you do in one day or half day to see everything

[@leonardburns1780]

thanx for the tour I would enjoy seeing it but I don't think ill get there soon thanx again ehhh

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Thanks for watching Leonard!

[@arthurschwarz2129]

Really Paul, no dancing to Elvis songs :( :( :(

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Hahaha...I know right!? :)

[@marycharron7799]

I was there the year Elvis died. It did not look like it does today. His house the gates. And sovereign shops across the street no charge

[@arthurschwarz2129]

Lorena who do you like more; Elivis, Ricky Martin or Enrique Iglesias . ????

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

If she had choose, she says Ricky Martin, but that's not really her kind of music either.

[@marycharron7799]

I was also at his birth place. Aunt Loretta and I.

[@steveblanck6067]

Did they take out the round bed?

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

No idea Steve.

[@johnsenesi9095]

Visiting Elvis was an amazing tour Paul and Lorena The Adventure Nations friends Club .is now inviting you to join us to this amazing new Facebook group maybe meet new friends and some old friends that you might know the adventurer Nations friends group is growing fast. And now we could actually Express and talk to the motorhome experiment and other people in chat

[@crazytexas1385]

If you don't know who Elvis is you been living under a rock your shelter Life

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Pretty much...Lol!

[@allenkramer5456]

U still in Memphis

[@URFreakinmeout2much]

As a kid I watched Elvis in a few movies and by today's standards those movies are called cheesy But, when I was a kid I liked his movies far more than his music. For me nothing has changed, I still don't like his music. As a teen I was I discovered heavy metal and that was my favorite kind of music for years.

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

I liked cheesy Elvis movies! I liked Elvis music until I was a teenager and then I moved towards heavy metal with you!

[@seannielsen6587]

Hope you guys are not working to hard back in Vegas.

[@seannielsen6587]

He passed in Aug 77...

[@Maggie-eo3rd]

Ohhh HECK NO!!! I loved Elvis but NEVER...NEVER would I or could I pay that much to see anything!!! Sad they charge that much! I do hope you had fun. I'll stick to my CD's lol

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

That seems to be what everyone is saying Maggie! It is pricey, but if you are a fan it is a full day of Elvis stuff.

[@Winnie122459]

and the military by going into when he was drafted on the eve of Vietnam

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Seeing all Elvis' military stuff was cool, as well!

[@justinlawrence7756]

Security opens the Gates for an hour to go to the memory garden to see the grave of The King

[@seannielsen6587]

$159 for the Vip tour...Wow

[@eliwilliamson7849]

I noticed that!

[@bennyrussell5551]

His childhood home is in Tupelo Miss.

[@none-ya-dam821]

Elvis??? Wasn't he a famous hound dog?

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

That's the rumor! Lol!

[@dlmac5935]

Never a big Elvis fan, but respected his talent and the impact he had on music and culture. Having said that, his legacy has been propagated into a carnival cash grab and I doubt this is what he would have wanted his legacy to look like. Sad!

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

From what I've seen and heard, I think you are probably right David!

[@Forest_Actual]

Elvis the Pelvis...WHO? lol

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

A very obscure artist! Lol!

[@kenjacobs1950]

Graceland Tour ……..Very Over Rated ……..Very Over Priced !!

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

I think hardcore Elvis fans will disagree. There is a ton of stuff to see there. I thought it was pretty cool, but personally thought it was overpriced. Appreciate you sharing Ken!

[@Sol-x]

EVILS HAS LEFT THE PLANET lol

[@Sol-x]

as a side note? 99% of the people here say love the goffie openings and endings. if 99% of people are genetically constructed? were are all your genetically kids hahahahaha

[@hogcat858]

Elvis who?

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Lol!
