Least favorite or at least worst Elvis song you heard?

For some time I thought it was Kissin' Cousins just because it's a wierd song and overall the rhythm, lyrics, and melodies are bad, but then heard Confidence and I think it's worse, for kind of the same reasons Kissin' Cousins is bad, but in this song you can listen to Elvis just lose his own confidence and it's just bored and wants to get the song over with as fast as possible.

Christmas UVIP tour vs UVIP Tour Question

Good afternoon! I’m visiting Graceland for the second time this weekend. My first trip was August 2022 and I did the Ultimate VIP Tour, and we got to hold one of his belts. We are doing the Christmas UVIP tour this weekend, and was curious if this was also part of this tour?

Thanks in advance!

Rare footage of Elvis on stage in Las Vegas for his February 20th 1973 Dinner Show. Audio dubbed and synced by me, enjoy!

Elvis is wearing the Blue Pinwheel jumpsuit, it would be the only time the suit was worn on stage. The suit is often mistaken for the Aztec Star due to the similarities in design and colour.

Collecting Elvis Memorabilia Like the Good Old Days

My grandmother (who was my favorite person) was a HUGE Elvis fan. When I was little I loved staying the night with her and watching Elvis movies and going through her collection when she'd let me. When she passed away her Elvis collection was given to me and it has such neat stuff in it. I particularly love flipping through the old fan club news letters. In the different club newsletters most had a section where people would write about Elvis items they were wanting or selling. Is there anything out there like there was in the 70's and 80's? Yes I know there's eBay, Mercari, Facebook Marketplace...ect, to hunt down things. But what I was wondering is there anything like there was in the past for the Elvis Fan community where we can communicate amongst each other and talk about items we are wanting to buy or are willing to sell or trade from our personal collections. A place where people actually love and appreciate Elvis, where we can help each other expand or complete our collections. I was just curious what was out there for us Elvis fans ⚡️TCB⚡️

I have an unopened copy of “I got lucky” from 1971. I have a decent vinyl collection with about 20 Elvis records. Is this worth keeping sealed as a collectors item?

I’m honestly like a little kid who just wants to open it and listen. Should I enjoy it or save it?

Just an idea for those visiting Graceland.

When you get some postcards as one inevitably will do, there is a Post Office a mile down the road you can mail from to your home and have it stamped with the 38116 postmark. Same zip as Graceland. You're welcome.

Graceland pre show has a special version of Burning Love, what is it?

Took the family to Graceland on Tuesday and we loved. But my big question is: what version of burning love do they play in the pre show film? It’s heavy and groovy and I love it. It’s not the original, the Hawaii special or any older version that I know of so far. Any hints?

Hmmmm What Do I Do! Help!! Should I buy it?

I'm not loaded by any account.

I like the idea of buying the new Making of King Creole FTD box set jobba. It's 200£.

I'd be scared to open it which pisses me off. Because I've seen the MSG book sold for over a grand.

What makes an Ftd release worth so much?

Is the King Creole limited in numbers? Should I worry about opening it if I buy it.

Should I be concerned at all and just buy it cause it's my favourite Elvis movie?

Thoughts on Elvis' nickname "The King"

I have read and heard in documentaries that Elvis never liked being called "The King." Now the reasoning as to why seems to be centered on how he considered Fats Domino "the real King of Rock 'n' Roll" (as apparently documented by telling a fan in 1969) and I saw in a religious documentary, he would tell fans that "Jesus Christ is the King."

So should we respect the man and his wishes not to be called the King? What is everyone else's thoughts on this topic?
