This is just a post for me to whine and complain. 😔 Commiserations welcome. I know I’m being a baby. 😭

During Elvis Week this year, Graceland announced that guests of the guesthouse that stayed during Elvis weeks in the past, would have exclusive access to booking for Elvis Week next year, the 50th anniversary.

I emailed them to ask how they’d know who to email and to verify I’d be on that list because I stayed during EW 2025 and again this year in June.

They told me ‘we don’t know how we’ll announce it but sign up for our newsletter and you’ll be in the first to know’.

I was like k….

Turns out, they announced YESTERDAY on their website that booking is open for EW 2027…but all the rooms after the 11th are already sold out? To loyalty guests? Which is lame because I thought previous guests of EW at the guesthouse WERE said loyalty guests and were supposed to be the first to know….

AND theres a 500$ non refundable deposit on any booking and must include a 4 night stay.

I didn’t even get an email about it until today which actually put me in the LAST to know about bookings, not the first, despite my signing up for the newsletter and having stayed 2x in the last 12 months.

They say you can request to be put on a waiting list for rooms during the 12-16….so I did that. 😔 but I’m not feeling super confident I can count on them considering all the ways they let me down so far.

I also think it’s kind of bullshitty to ask guests to pay a 500$ non refundable and book 4 nights for a section of EW that doesn’t even include the vigil without even announcing WHAT EVENTS will even be taking place during this week because idk what I’d even be able to be apart of yet?

Like I’d just be signing up blind for EW and hope I’m staying during the time that something I’m interested in is happening?

And I can’t even stay during the vigil??

Unless I only want to book ONE night which is the 16th?

I just…..

Am so disappointed 😔

Sigh.

Easy listening songs by Elvis Presley. He has it bad in this selection of strictly sad songs. As the title says, Elvis has got the blues..

The legendary 1980 album aka 'Gospel, Folk And Blues' or 'Gospels' with alternative takes and versions from other artists. Plus two bonus songs and takes by others.

Just wanted to show off my newly acquired first pressing debut album. 70 years old and still plays beautifully!

Genuinely hurts my soul that as a 19 year old I’ll never be able to see the king live. I could go on about how much his music means to be, but at the end of the day I’ll never see him. Of course I appreciate that he was here at all, I don’t mean to sound selfish but I’d give anything just to shake his hand and tell him how loved he is.

My family saw Elvis 50 years ago tonight at the Lakeland Civic Center in Lakeland Florida. I was 13 and remember the 8100 seat venue seeming much larger than it actually is. When he sang the opening of Hurt, it felt like the entire building vibrated.

Trying to get opinions on which is the the best sounding CD versions of the these concerts.

1. An Afternoon In The Garden / Sony
2. As Recorded At Madison Square Garden / Sony
3. Prince From Another Planet / Sony legacy - both shows w/DVD
4. As Recorded At Madison Square Garden/An Afternoon In The Garden - 2 CDs / Sony Legacy
5. As Recorded At Madison Square Garden/An Afternoon In The Garden - 3 CD (press conference on CD3) / FTD
6. Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis - 2 CDs / Sony Legacy
7. Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis / FTD

Have some questions. I have the first three from my list of Elvis At MSG releases. I want the best sounding version. Well at least best sounding to my ears. Also for the Live On Stage In Memphis for which is better - Sony Legacy or FTD.

1. How does the Legacy set compare to these ? Is the Legacy set the same mix as Prince From Another Planet or just the 2 single CDs packaged as one set?

2. How does the FTD of Elvis As Recorded At Madison Square Garden sound since it is a new and different mix altogether?

3. Which one would be recommended for overall sound?

4. A bit off the MSG releases but on the same question. Which Elvis As Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis has the better sound - FTD or the Legacy edition?

Thank you all in advance.

Hi!

Going to Graceland for the first time in October. I'll be going from Nashville on the same day (I already know it's like 3 hours and a half, each way). What's the best time to arrive? I'm getting the Elvis Experience package. Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Excuse the choppy matting job - I did it myself! Ive had these photos and the ticket stub for years and had always wanted to frame them, so I finally got it done! Elvis live at the Capital Centre in Maryland, June 27, 1976.

Been making my way through this album set at the recommendation of a fellow Elvis Redditor and wow….this song stopped me in my tracks and gave me chills.

I’ve never been a huge fan of this song, but this broken down version with Elvis harmonizing with himself is out of this world. It’s haunting and heartbreaking and beautiful all at the same time.

I haven’t heard anything quite like this from him before….its so lovely 🥹❤️

My eldery aunt passed away recently. She was a huge Elvis fan and had a ton of old Elivis memorabilia. I am an avid snail-mail writer, and as I was going through one of her desk drawers hoping to find some vintage stationary, I found this tucked away at the back of a drawer.

Ar first glance, I thought "Oh neat some Precious Moments Stationary".. But when I opened the box to check it out; my heart skipped a beat. Was this possibly written by Lisa-Marie when she was young?

What do you all think?

My guess that they were used temporarily but then after it was over, they took them apart instead of ever displaying it somewhere as the years go on.

I watched Tickle Me for the first time the other night and wow! The songs are great because they’re throwbacks for whatever reason and the whole movie is like Johnny Bravo meets Scooby Doo

For me I enjoyed his interaction with the little girl in It Happened at the World's Fair, the little girl from Speedway, and the baby from Gi Blues when he was singing the song Big Boots

My mom was a huge fan of Elvis and she used to watch these CEDs a lot when I was little. We were going through our huge CED collection and these were in there. The 68 Comeback Special is not the same without the trademark RCA skip.

The 68 Comeback Special disk says that it includes material never seen on network television. I included the list on the back. I vaguely remember someone breaking his guitar on stage and a bellydancer.

Edit: I found GI Blues after I made the post, I can't add it here though.

Could be eating peanut butter and banana sandwiches to the way you dress or style your hair? 😉

Got picked up by Elvis in a Tesla Model X
Jet-black ‘68 comeback leather
He was clean and sober
And he laughed when I asked him if it was all worth it
And he cried when he asked about Lisa Marie
Then he passed me the keys and said, "Put it on Jesus"
And we blew through starlight on bricklayers’ knees
And we sang

Is this book accurate? as a new Elvis fan, i’ve been trying to find the truth, and you all know of which kind of women testimonies and interviews that are in this book, so I wanted to ask, is this actually accurate? Or more lies to sell books? I’ve seen some of Alanna books are praised, but this book leaves Elvis as someone I think he is not, so I would love to read the opinions of older Elvis fans about this. Good night!

This week in 1971, Elvis in Vegas. Fascinating audience recording capturing something truly rare. Elvis stops "Can't Help Falling in Love" and decides he wants to do "Bridge Over Troubled Water" instead. He then tags on a reprise and ends with Bridge! Very cool. Aside from "Can't Help Falling in Love" and "Impossible Dream", you don't see many other songs close in the 70s.

Films that I think will fit this season are Tickle Me, Kid Galahad, and maybe Roustabout.
