I was there -- 13 years old -- had a seat in the mezzanine! Fantastic concert! Funny story - I wanted tickets to The Jackson 5, but they were sold out so I had to "settle" for Elvis. I'm so glad now that The Jackson 5 was sold out! Elvis just totally blew me away!
@Stan Stedanko Only an anti-American left wing liberal lunatic Socialist nut job wouldn't believe people's stories that actually happened because they're miserable little life sucked. Hey Stan why don't you go down to KFC. They have the liberal bucket for $5. It consists of nothing more than left wings and assholes. Just like you.
This was my first concert back when I was 8 years old, I remember I thought it was kinda funny that the stage they played on wouldn't spin in one direction, It would do a 360 degree clockwise then go counterclockwise
I live in the outskirts of Houston, Texas. My mom went to this concert. She said he never touched the ground. Wish I could have been there to see it. Take care
Is this the March 3rd performance? That's the one I saw. The very last one. I was 9. I remember sitting behind us was this fat woman just yelling her head off as if Elvis could hear her. She did it non stop. One song I do remember him singing tho was one he introduced as his new song Kentucky Rain. That was the first time I had ever heard it & I fell in love with it immediately. The Astrodome was not known for it's sound as it would reverberate off the roof. When Sonny James recorded a live album from there in like 1967 I think it was that was the big fear by the record company. That a place as cavernous as the Dome would not sound good on record. Turned out they were wrong & the album became a #1 album for him & I think it was also the first live country music album.
Elvis’ manager, Col. Tom Parker, said in a press conference shortly after his death: “Elvis didn’t die. The body did. We’re keeping up the good spirits. We’re keeping Elvis alive. I talked to him this morning and he told me to 'carry on.’” (Elvis did not die and he wanted out. - Col. Tom Parker. 1977) After hearing so many stories about the death of Elvis Presley, I have decided to tell the world the real story on the facts concerning that day in August, 1977. Yes, that day, the 16th of August. Is it a coincidence that a person born on that January 8, first month, eighth day, would perish on the 8th month and the 16th day? Probably if two (2) people were born on that day it makes more sense. You see, numerology always played an important part of my life and still does today. So many people have written or spoke about my death as a hoax. It was not a hoax! I decided to reinvent myself in the form of my brother (Jesse Garon) and yes, Elvis Presley did die that day. But after much searching for the right people, I found several people from different states who I consider my most loyal and trustworthy friends. To some people this book will be just another scandalous piece of fiction, but when you are done I think you will think otherwise. I always felt my brother deserved to live and what better way to let him live his life than to end mine. I was lonely, depressed, in bad health and my numerology chart said that this was the time for it to come to end. Anyone who studies numerology will understand, those who don't may want to look into it. All of the facts (and there are many) even the experts will say they are more than coincidences. I no longer give away Cadillacs or expensive pieces of jewelry because I am nothing more than a man who had a very famous brother. I am not a great literate (I never wrote my own songs), but I am not illiterate either. The perfect day August 16, 1977, 1 + 9 + 7 + 7 = 24, my age backwards (42), the facts go on and on. But my true reasons for the book are for my fans. My death was not a hoax! To my fans, please forgive me, my brother deserved to live, he was with me constantly (spiritually). My life would not be the same had he lived at birth. This was my way of giving him life, and corny as it sounds. The Colonel took this secret to his grave. He was a loyal friend. But I will no longer stand by and have people like Gail Brewer tell you stories that are pure fiction. This book written by a true friend will help you realize why I did what I did. - The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley In His Own Words. (2001). My fascination with the idea of a hoax about death was when Jim Morrison died July 3rd, 1971. Although I saw no correlation (he died at age 27) I was astounded that as famous as he was the body was just closed up and shipped out. Now I don't know all the facts concerning his death. I thought it awfully strange that no autopsy was performed (or so I thought) and just forgotten about. There were a lot of rumors about his death. I noticed he was born on the 8th day. Born in 1944 = 1-8 and died in 1971 = 1-8. Remember my comeback in 1968? 1+9+6+8 = 24. Obviously, I was no longer 24, so I reversed the age to 42. The next time that number had any relevance was 1977 (1+9+7+7 = 24 when I would be 42. Numerology can and does play an important part of my life and we knew that would have to be the date. Most people if they know what to look for will find significance in the forms of numbers in all of my movies! Example: gravestone in " Loving You" (year) 1878 = ? (1+8+7+8 = 24). You have to look at the movies. My hero James Dean died at the age of 24, but I was on top of the world then and wanted to live. - The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley In His Own Words. (2001). I will start about 1974 when the thought first came to me about faking my death. I have always been fascinated with the occult and other spiritual things. When I first saw a wax dummy of myself made by a Mr. Cooper I was fascinated with it. For some time I had thought if it was possible? Could I pull this thing off? I had asked Mr Cooper if he could make another wax dummy for me. He said he could. I in turn said I wanted him to do it and keep it strictly confidential. When I had mentioned it to a very few close friends (Joe Esposito, Larry Geller) they did not think I was serious. I was tired of being Elvis Presley, my health was deteriorating. I just couldn't keep up. My finances were floundering because of my daddy's poor business ventures. I was at my wit's end. As the years progressed I had my ups and downs which are pretty well documented in other books. I also had two detectives from Colorado who I trusted immensely. Originally the date was 1976 according to my numerology charts but I chickened out. A pact was made on the grounds of Graceland one night, hands placed over hands that this secret would never be spoken of outside this room. I picked four (4) of us initially and to this day all have kept the secret. I also know when this book reaches the bookstores people (my loyal friends) will be heartbroken. They took care of me and convinced others that I was no longer alive. In reality Elvis Presley died that day and my twin brother "Jesse" came to life, living in hiding but as a normal human being. I skip around because I am writing stream of consciousness. My own Daddy bless his soul never knew the truth. Little Lisa was told months later and explained to her she would not see me much. The Colonel took this secret to his grave. Many people believe me to still be alive but I was told in the beginning there would be no contact in order for this to work. I go thru a lot of ups and downs since 1977 and have lived in many states but I insisted I needed to be in a warm climate. My personal thoughts are that my fans will understand. That is very important to me. I just could not face myself any more after seeing myself in the mirror and that is where Larry Geller came in. He asked if he could write a book, and I gave him my blessing. "If I Can Dream" is the title and I like his book. He had filled my head with spiritual thoughts and made me believe we could pull this off. If I had stayed longer I think I would have been booed off the stage. That is why I chose the date 8-16-77. Do you know how many famous people passed away on that date? The great Robert Johnson died on 8-16 and he was born in 1935! Babe Ruth, and Bela Lugosi and many others. I must say I was very nervous that day 8-16. But it had to be done before I went on the road where I would not have been able to pull it off. Did you know there are secret compartments in Graceland that very few people know about! A few like Vester would joke about my being alive but no one took him serious. Many of my friends would ask if I were still alive and they have their doubts but as it was I might have died broke and just a shell of myself. I was given an injection that looked like I was dead but the people closest to me knew better. Believe me I had my doubts that this could be pulled off. But it did and I became Jesse, just a poor white southern boy who didn't sing a lick of anything. I feel bad my Daddy wasn't allowed to know but it just couldn't be done. I better go now and collect my thoughts to tell you the rest next time. - The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley In His Own Words. (2001).

The Colonel's decision no doubt, 6 shows with fixed costs at the same venue, and over 207,000 reasons all paying $10-$15 and buying his souvenirs .... highly profitable, I suspect ! 😉
It’s the Houston astrodome- it looks shitty on camera sure, but it’s pretty incredible. Plus he is playing at the Houston rodeo here which is like one of the biggest rodeos in the world.
Elvis was the most popular singer of all time. But what this brings to mind is that not only Elvis but many of the most popular singers ever appeared during the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo as Elvis is here. But neither Elvis nor Michael Jackson nor Tina Turner nor any other of the super famous stars that appeared in this setting set the all-time Houston Astrodome attendance record. That all time record was set in 1995 by legendary Texas Tejano music star Selena Quintanilla. And she was murdered just one month after setting this all-time attendance record.

Is this the March 3rd performance? That's the one I saw. The very last one. I was 9. I remember sitting behind us was this fat woman just yelling her head off as if Elvis could hear her.

Todo un espectáculo Elvis Presley 👍♥️
I was there at this rodeo and saw Elvis perform . He was really good .
I was at the afternoon show. He wore a blue jumpsuit.
why did he agree to do a show at such a shitty fucking venue ?
The Colonel's decision no doubt, 6 shows with fixed costs at the same venue, and over 207,000 reasons all paying $10-$15 and buying his souvenirs .... highly profitable, I suspect ! 😉

shut the hell up dawg 😭 htx rodeo is iconic
GRANDIOSO ELVIS!!!!!!!!🎶🎶🎶🎶💜👏👏👏👏👏

@Stan Stedanko Just curious as to why you called me a LIAR?
Rodney Boyd I know he really needs to shut up
I liked watching the wagon's better.
