I never met him, but I saw him in person 10 times. 3 summers in Vegas, from August of 71 to December of 76. The poster that goes by SweetCaroline actually met him once in Vegas.

Omg, you are so lucky! Even if you didn't meet him. In my "teenie bopper" years, I was so addicted to going to concerts because I love the energy and to me it's better than listening to the recordings. It's such a rush, put that together with Elvis I probably would be the happiest person alive!

:xmas:My friend Rita on this site saw Elvis a few times during his August to September 4 Vegas engagement in 1972,and with her husband and i believe other's, met Elvis backstage or in his dressing room because they were part of the British fan's in Vegas for this particular engagement.

And when Col. Parker heard about them being there, he arranged for Rita and her husband Rod to personally meet Elvis I think in his dressing room and Rita said that he was so humble and polite,as well as soft spoken,and he was very genuine in wanting to know as much about them as possible!!! I'll have to get Rita to post the story in it's complete accuracy as I may be missing a couple of odds and ends! Of course Rita was in complete heaven, and also said that Elvis was alot more handsome in person than in pictures etc.!!!:xmas:(y):king:(y):newyear::xmas:

Wow, that is the most sweetest thing! I always thought that I was born in the wrong time!

[retroprincess]

I would have killed to have seen Elvis in '73!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

utmom you are blessed!!!!!!!!!!!

[suspicious_mind]

I find it sooo hard to believe that he couldve been better looking in person. Ive read that and heard that many times tho.

[utmom2008]

No one believes that, but he truly was. He looked just like his pics, only much more handsome. I remember one time my dad saying that he was "so handsome he almost didn't look real", and we were sitting about 6 feet away!!! :D:D

;) Oh most definately I have dear,
I haven't been well so I haven't been online lately, but couldn't pass up a chance to tell everyone what I have always told them...
I met Elvis during the filming of "It happened at the worlds fair"
I was also later in years invited to Graceland on at least 3 ocassions, and Elvis was a gentleman, a very down to earth sweet man. He was funny, he was of course incredibly handsome, and he appreciated that I did't make a point to slobber all over him as most would want to.
I also did not ask for a recipt or autograph for my professional services, being they ere just a muse to get me there.
Elvis has a long time Veterinarian, and he also was not in need of a young vet with a touring ambulatory service in that year, to treat a PG guinie pig.
Or white cat, or hamster or bunny rabbit (which got loose) it was dark and hysterical that we were sneaking in the bushes to find the rabbit, secuity put their flaslights on the both of us, and the sound of our explanantion to this day is rolling in the floor funny! "We are looking for a rabbit."
I saw Elvis in most concerts, in Vegas, backstage passes, on movie sets and we were just friends. He could trust me then, he could now as well...
There has never been a man to equal Elvis Presley. To say I love him, is the understatement of all time.

I think I told you that before, Rosanne, but I'll tell you once again. YOU ARE SUCH A LUCKY LADY! )And not only because you know all the lines from "Girl Happy"!!) Seeing this man, this performer, this unique personality in person, puts you directly into the list of my favorite people in the world! :lol:

So, were you a vet??? I guess I'm not understanding the part about the pets - did Elvis have all those pets?

[Unchained Melody]

Seeing as how I wasn't born til 13 years after his death I obviously didn't come anywhere near to meeting him..hard to imagine he was as handsome in person as in photo's. I envy you all who got to see him in person!:lol::notworthy

Here you go.

Actually, I'd love a rabbit, but they aren't allowed where I live (we have lots of wild hares, so that will do, lol). I'm into cute fluffy animals, lol.

[Elton]

Seen him a total of 5 times. First in '74 in Alburn Al, and later that year Aug.27.'74 in Vegas
then in April '75 in Atlanta, on to Mobile of '76 and finally
in Feb.of '77 at Montgomery, Al.
While each and every concert holds something special within itself,the Vegas show reminds my fav. because at the closing of the show,I got to shake hands with him from the stage!

[Unchained Melody]

Great stuff Elton !! (y)

[Elton]

Great stuff Elton !! (y)

Yes he was Jon!!(y)

[Unchained Melody]

From the August 27th 1974 show did you manage to capture any photos? (y)

[Elton]

No Jon,I didn't,When my party and me had just checked to see if Elvis was to appear and was told They(the hotel) that they had NOT heard anything from Elvis' room so was still up in the air if he would preform or not!
The Hilton had Bill Cosby standing by for a replacement,as Elvis had cancelled the nite before, Later on in the day we went back to the Hilton to check and the line streachin toward the entrance of the showroom answered it all!!
..While a few pics are out that were took on the night,dinner show with the 2peice leather outfit,i did not take any!

Hello Lloyd :D

What is your fondest memory of our man?

:D
Thank you,
Regards,
Kim

[lloyd]

My favorite memory would be the chance to talk to him...one-on-one.

I had that pleasure on several occassions,and what struck me was that

he seemed more nervous than I was. We never talked about his job,what

he did for a living, it was always other stuff....badges,meeting Nixon, etc.

Considering that there were so many people around, I bet one-on-one time was difficult to get! Did he look you in the eyes when he talked with you? Was he attentive?
