Thank you for this wonderful upload, I'm from Memphis and i was 14 years old when Elvis passed away,that was a dark cloud over the city of Memphis and being a African American i love rock and roll and country music and Elvis is my favorite rock and roll singer. I know would where Rev Brewster's church is there on E. Trigg Avenue and all black church and Rev. Herbert Brewster said Elvis would come there all the time. It's till a popular church today. I cried so hard that day me and my now deceased Mother. I have all Elvis music. Rest in peace. Elvis!

Sorry about multiple comments but this Vlog is too good. I was thinking about how so many come to Memphis from all over the World never seeing America in their lifetimes. What a great obligation Memphis has to host world traveler’s.

Mr. Mike Freeman I am so glad you did the interview with Mr George Klein because he passed away this year. RIP Mr. George Klein. Thank you for these fantastic videos about Elvis. It is a shame Mr. Sam Phillips did not keep his contract with Elvis and sold it to Col. Tom Parker. I believe he used Elvis to stuff his own pockets and fleeced Elvis for millions and drove Elvis to a early grave. So glad you are doing this history of Elvis. Elvis was truly a gift from God with his marvelous voice and talent.

I, too believe Parker over- worked him to the bone to stuff his greedy, thieving pockets - which drove Elvis to "speed" to keep up-and the rest is history.....If I'm right-- --There it is again!---Friggin Greed---so sad.

Keep in mind Elvis was 22 yrs old and paid 100 thousand for Graceland in Cash. He owned it out right from day he purchased Graceland. The realtor asked him how much he wanted to pay Down on Graceland. And Elvis said I’ll write you a check. ( the grand daughter of the realtor lady who sold it to Elvis told that story.) He paid the whole amount and signed the check himself.

I'm in a hurry to go somewhere but your such a good story teller, I'm going to be late

This is an EXCELLENT Documentary by a true Elvis historian. I love the normalcy of it not being Vlogged by a polished voice person but a good ol” everyday buddy that reminds me of my best of friends.

Did the Memphis and Tupelo tour with Mike. Well above expectations. Mike eats, sleeps and breathes Memphis. He knows ABSOLUTELY everything about Memphis and Elvis. If you ever visit Memphis, the tour with Mike is an absolute MUST. Can't thank him enough.

Great photoes Thankyou absolutely fantastic and Elvis looks amazing A one and only. LOVE YOU ELVISFOREVER

His knowledge on Elvis is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! You see he rolls SPECIFIC dates that things happened right off the top of his head through 4 hrs of these 2 videos! He is Brilliant!

Ten Outstanding Young Man- My father Frank Taylor was with the Jaycees and he was responsible for bringing the award ceremony here instead of Indianapolis. Elvis speech went something like this. Without a song the Day would never end, without a friend a man ain’t got a friend, without a song the road will never bend without a song. So I’ll just keep singing my songs, Thank you very much and Good night.

I finally went to see Elvis and Graceland. He was an amazing man. This video really brought everything home for me.

Even though this video is 11 yrs. old and video quality doesn't compare to today's 4K..... I still enjoyed every nano second from beginning to end. One thing I do want to mention to the public is when Mike is standing across the street from the Audubon house ( If you park where he standing 1 centimeter near the driveway of the red brick home right across the street ) in less than 60 seconds, the crabby old man will come out his tall gated back yard march down his drive and Swear to you like a sailor and doesn't care if you children are with you. I stopped by after the minor fire there this Summer 2017. And yes, the view is prettier from across the street.... Please just park in front of Elvis' house pay your respects and Rock ON ; . ) RIP Elvis, Libertyland, Mid South Coliseum and any other no longer existing Memphis establishments Elvis loved to spend his precious time.

Great photoes Thankyou Admins Elvis forever and always AMEN God Bless you Elvis forever and always AMEN

We took the Memphis tour with Mike and the Tupelo tour with Sue just last week! They are both a wealth of knowledge regarding Elvis' life. Really enjoyed it! If you're ever in Memphis I highly recommend Memphis Road Tours. Mike and Sue are wonderful.

I go back and watch this from time to time. You truly know Elvis history and Memphis. Thank you for sharing with we the Elvis fans. So many who knew Elvis and friends are now gone and the history as well. Popular Tunes is no longer there. 😢 Mr. George Klein is gone now as well. He was a true friend of Elvis. RIP Mr. George Klein.

went there in 2015 from Scotland loved every minute even went to his birth place.

This is great, thank you! Actually Linda did not know that Elvis was going through a divorce, and she was surprised when he told her that night that he and Priscilla were separated. This is an excellent documentary, I wish that all the places were still there as they had been, so we could see Memphis as Elvis did. I've read about all these places so it's great to see them, hopefully I'll get to be there in person soon. Sad to hear that Poplar Tunes is gone as well, it makes me sad because it emphasizes how much time has passed..........

I always believed Elvis was a kind humble country god fearing man who loved God singing a making people Happy. he was the best singer a intertainer this world will ever see. I believe with all he went through his faith a love for God never wavered a his songs of gospel was no act they came from the heart. a soul a I believe his body movements was from the rymthim he felt down in his soul of church attendance a black folk music he grew to love a stay w him of blues emotions his songs a voice talked to you Elvis didn't steal songs he borrowed them a made them over into his real emotions that lifted you up a made you want to want to hang out w him a watch him reverse I would had been happy just hanging out w him.

What a super documentary,I wish though someone from his karate could have spoken and showed some pictures. That's a side no one ever talks of.

I am a massive fan of Elvis its my dream to go to Memphis I was nine years old when I went nuts on Elvis my husband wanted me to go as he was ill he couldn't go with me sadly he passed away in March he would still want me to go .l am hoping to go next year xxxx

Elvis. Was. A. One. In. A. Million. And. Will. Never. Be. Replaced. He's. The. King.

Just awesome ..thank you ...you covered everything right on point...😊..God bless you ..

Would highly recommend Mike to anyone thinking of visiting Memphis. Such a wealth of information, and so passionate about his hometown. The tour was better than I could have ever imagined. The Tupelo tour was even better. Thank You Mike, from down under. P.S. Going back to Memphis in 2018 with a small group. Will definately book both tours again.

Wow absolutely fantastic.

Elvis' first home on Audubon Dr. has had a fire. It was an electoral outlet in the living room. The report did not say how bad it damaged the house. I really hope the wall he had signed while living there was not destroyed. I also pray they can repair the home. Tragic.

thank you i enjoyed that very much i am a huge elvis fan from england i hope you upload part 2 very soon as

It is great to see those places we read about in all the books on Elvis. Hope someone conserves Elvis Presley's 1956 Home : 1034 Audubon Drive just as the estate have done with Graceland.

Thank you so much Mike for all you do to keep the Elvis history alive! We were lucky enough to take your tour in December/18 and it exceeded our expectations! Hope to be back in 2019 and do it all over again!

wow love that street love the town....

I am really enjoying this documentary-tour, I haven't even finished watching it and I have to comment and say this is how an Elvis documentary should be done, at the places he went and spent his days, talking to whoever is available to talk to; and now I will finish watching this wonderful piece of history, very well done Mr. Freeman!

Extremely appreciative of you taking the time to do this. Beento Graceland three times but never had the time to go around to all these places. Sure wish you were able to post pictures of some of the stories you were talking about in the very beginning. You had pictures of Elvis in the early years would have loved to seen them. Thank you so much for taking the time for this. Going to watch part 2 soon. Popular tunes has closed since this was made.

The people who owned the cemetery building told Vernon before Elvis was moved to Graceland, that people were coming there and chipping off rock off the building. The man told Vernon he would have to pay for the damages. Vernon told them he couldn’t help what the fans were doing. Then the ultimate scare for Vernon was when the men tried to steal Elvis body. So Vernon had to get an emergency permit to move both Elvis and Gladys to Graceland. I just can’t imagine what these men were thinking to try to steal the body. Theres many suspected stories about that attempted theft. I don’t know what the truth is but any attempted theft of a body is just terrible. I’m glad Vernon had them both moved to Graceland. Memphis loved Elvis so much they wanted to do anything to keep Elvis safe.

super sensacional este documentario.

beautiful stuff. Thanks for the video. :D

There was other people who were invited by Elvis to the movies who came to sit by Elvis. Later were told by body guards he should not sit by him. Lol

wonderful job.

I love Memphis!

Thanks for the tour I enjoy it very much ! I visit Graceland in 2011 and I meet you too ! I am an Elvis fan since I was six years old I was born 1980 ! ;)

THSR, not to take away from your experience, but 'Uncle Vestor' met a ton of people at Graceland's front gate. He loved his nephew's stardom, hence his own..... Cherish those memories, as there will NEVER be another Elvis, nort Uncle 'Vestor'... =)

That's where i use to buy on my records from poplar tunes, those were the good old days.

I was in Memphis Tennessee one time to get my boyfriend and we was down town and want to eat at the downtown and we was tell that Elvis Presley had.

I lived in Memphis in the mid-80s, it was great, go there now better watch where you go, getting bad.

i'm a huge fan of Elvis and I 'm sure I will be in those places in the future thanks for the video man big thumbs up

very good :)

Thank you! This was really nice. This is the type of information I like.

Enjoying your cool video, thank you.

Mac Davis sat next to Elvis when he was invited to go to the movies with Elvis. Mac Davis tells on the video about sitting next to Linda with Elvis. It’s on his video telling about his tines with Elvis.

The interior of the Audubon Drive house burned yesterday. Due to kitchen area water damage in January, any items remaining from Presley's time there were in storage.

RIP George.

George has a radio voice. Lol

Think the place should be donated for a park, fish pond, paddle boats etc

In my research ive heard the McDonald's gift certificate story...its said some of the guys were talking about about how much they'd receive for there bonus for Christmas so elvis played that trick but I believe it was amount his inner circle ..priscilla tells the story in a tour of Graceland.

Colettas BBQ pizza was great.

Lovely

The colonel was so greedy he stolle so much money from Elvis and Elvis was just to kind and he had such a sweet heart and the rest was history Love you Elvis forever and always AMEN GodBless you Elvis

Absolutely magnificent documentary. Thank you so much for the info and showing all the places Elvis use to visit. I'm not a big Elvis fan, (Think I am now) lol. I really liked the opening song. What's the name of it? If anyone could tell me would be great.

There’s a couple things he says that wasn’t accurate. He was at Elvis’ wedding but wasn’t his best man. He also said the only of Elvis’ guys there from the beginning was him and Rex West. Gene and Billy Smith were with Elvis before anybody being his cousins

Why did he not show the photos?

So it would seem George knew Elvis before any of the Mafia did , for a short time cos soon Elvis was to know Red West as he moved up the grades in Humes High
