I would like to know how many people on this board saw Elvis live
I know Ken, Roseanne, Totally insane and myself but who else on this board did?
Do we have anyone who saw Elvis live in the 50's?

Wish I ever had the chance.
But I was three years old when he died and living behind the "Iron Courtain" didn't make it easier too.

No, I didn't see Elvis live in concert, although I felt I was there, somehow ....
I first noticed Elvis when I was around six or seven. I would have loved to have asked my mother if she could take me to see him; however, being from Australia, and for other reasons, I knew it was out of the question, to even ask.
So, I enjoyed him, as I could.
The dreams of a very little girl .....
I saw elvis on december 26 1976 in wichita kansas rainbow jumpsuit I have black and white photos and parts of the concert on tape.

Wow, You guys are so lucky to have seen this man in concert. Knowing you were in the same place he was and just breathing in the same air for a couple of hours must have been just amazing!
been to graceland twice kind of off subject.. but it was 1975 october and we were the only ones out side the gate I was only 15 and vester presley was at the gate and said elvis was sleeping so we couldnt tour the grounds so we asked if we could get some photos and he was so wonderful. He took our camera and took some photos of graceland for us he even closed the gate so I could have my photo taken in front of the gate.What wonderful memories
I have mentioned this in several threads before-(I do not want to bore anyone) but I saw him only once on March 22nd 1976 in St. Louis Mo at Kiel Auditorium. I wanted to see him the first time he came to Kiel (the second stop of his first 1970 tour) on Sept 10 1970, but they sold out in a matter of hours. Then he came on June 28th 1973 and I missed that one also.
I have a friend who saw all 3 shows and she told me the 1970 was the absolute best and most exciting show she had ever seen.

Although I never saw Elvis 'in concert',I did see him quite often.....he was my cousin.
I was lucky enough to see him in the through the sixties. I saw him some,in the fifties,
but I was so young,I don't remember a lot about it.

Yes, I was fortunate enough to see Elvis a number of times in concert. I saw him in Philadelphia in 1971, 1974, 1976, and 1977.

I made a cassette of the show (or most of it) and it did not come out well.
Plus the casette snapped in a tape player and some was chewed up beyond saving. We spliced it together just to have but mostly its the crowd close by us which is heard best. It was a pretty good show for 1976, there is a great fan video out of it, with some really close shots.(y)
