Great tour group. And even better human beings. I love these folks. They work so hard to make sure the Elvis fans have the best Elvis experience. TCB Strictly Elvis !!!!
Thanks Again Spa Guy Stallings, great interview with these folks and their eye witness account of meeting Elvis and his last two concerts of 77. God Bless!
Great interview as always Billy I was 12 when Elvis passed, broke my heart, and I knew he didn't look well but I guess as a young girl I had hope maybe he was still alive but I'm now 55 in the nursing field, I see all the signs of organ failure and the toxins building in his system God bless him he still had his great voice a d still trying to make us happy learning so much Billy from all these stories thank you
And I bet its always the same people who do IT. They've got there thumbs ready even before the music starts. And it's the few same people who do it on other Elvis channels.They are Very sad and jealous people
Again great interview, nice people again. Know quite a few people who flew out with the UK fan club. So it's nice to see the people who took them out to the USA .Thanks again spa guy
An incredible, incredible interview! Elvis and Colonel Parker were quite a team! Words of gratitude escape me to express appreciation to hear the stories you bring to us, Mr Spa Guy! Love this!
Great work Spa Guy, I didn't know these tours existed....Lucky fella met the King and went to the concerts...Sad to hear about when the King was sick at the last couple of concerts. Elvis was and will always be a legend. TCB
Wow! Another piece of the puzzle. I'm from the UK and have been a fan of Elvis since I was a kid and haven't these stories before. It's very true that to go to America was out of most fans reach back in the 70's and these tours were known to be the best way of seeing Elvis. I started saving in 1976 to see Elvis in 1977 and after a year saving I had £100. There was no way I was going to America so I spent it on Elvis albums and singles. It was heartbreaking when he died. You know what it's like. Too late to see Elvis so you make up for it in other ways. When he died it went crazy in Britian. You wouldn't believe the Elvis mania that was everywhere. He was so loved here still is. The heartbreaking to think that we wouldn't be seeing him but in many ways it feels like he's still with us but not in a physical way. His music his life and legacy lives on!
I was blessed beyond measure to have seen Elvis in concert. Although I was only 5 yrs old and I don't remember many details, the excitement and magical feeling that was in the air is unforgettable.
Elvis touched all kind of people but especially hard working people, simple and humble people, like he was himself...they saved all the money and came over! What a great interview! Thank you Spay Guy that you are doing all this for us, it´s so important for fans like me, not yet been able to come a nd visit Memphis! very touching
We came in May 2019 my husband treated me.saved for several years and had us a fantastic time we love the USA 🇺🇸 we did our own tour but all credit to these guys 🌹🇬🇧💞fantastic.thanks Billy.
Hi Spa Guy for people to save their money to come to the States to see Elvis true Elvis fans Very sad story with the lady who was Planning to See Elvis in December If 77 heart breaking Nice interview with these tour guide folks looking forward to part 2 Billy your hard work on Elvis is greatly appreciated Joseph from NJ.......
thank you again my friend spa guy for all hard work u put in to this for ever one to see and get to know about .best wist to you may god bless you t.c.b lovey work just wish was there with u 2 .thank u
Thankyou Spa Guy for another great piece of the Elvis puzzle, a few more unknown facts gathered up for posterity. And great to see a UK contributer. Allready looking forward to part 2. Thanks as always, Mike, UK.
My parents always wanted to go on this tour but had to many family commitments....but they knew tours were coming to Memphis from the UK and mentioned them to me. Thats where Graceland EPE or PP must of got the idea to open up Graceland to the public. The tours went all over the place related to Elvis.Its the fans who started this and they did it for love of Elvis.
Pretty cool these two individuals have been providing Elvis tours for UK/Europe Elvis fans,so thanks goes out to them. Pretty neat how many people says they new Elvis had walked into the room they were in without seeing him enter. Also,,Billy,I watched an recent interview just a couple weeks ago with Steve Binder that produced "The 1968 Comeback Show" and at end of interview the interviewer asked Binder what his thoughts were of Elvis in one word. Binder replied"There is no else like him",,& this is from a gentleman that has worked with the top entertainers worldwide ,so bottom line is Elvis impressed Binder first time they were around one another. Thanks for pieces of Elvis puzzle.
Another Interesting and Informative Find ~ Thank You Billy ! I Like how You ended the Video , Very Clever 😉 The 6 people that didn't like it need taken to the woodshed! JK 😁💜
Look forward to meeting David & Carol in the future when I finally get to travel with them to Graceland. It was kind of them to open up about their experiences and especially the meeting with Elvis... words are always used like Gracious, Magnetism and Presence to describe Elvis when people get to meet him. Some people say that Elvis isn’t their thing... how strange that humans can feel and be impacted so differently to each other. I should get it, but I don’t! Thanks Sir Billy 😇, the Elvis machine is certainly keeping you busy and we love it! Hemsby UK soon for Elvis week.. you coming Billy? 😆
went in 88 and 89 then few times after booked my own tours but was great having police escorts and getting to meet elvis close friends, great stuff as usual spa guy.
Spa guy you never cease to amaze keep up your great work, i have toured with david and carol a number of times and they work so hard and go the extra mile to give fans a 100% Elvis experience. TCB
Great interview BUT........ I become so intrigue with the interview and so into it that when it ends Im like noooooo I want to hear more. I have to wait patiently for part 2.
I believe Elvis and his 'people' MAY have been discussing a Visit To Europe , BUT I also think it only got as far as Col. Parkers desk and he put a DEFINITE halt on those plans. He was scared to let Elvis out of his sight as far as a manager goes... , and VERY concerned some one MAY be able to get to Elvis and discuss the possiblity of replacing the Col. Due to the Col.s birth place and him not being able to RE enter the USA, I think this all contributed to the Col saying a flat out....."NO!"...and Elvis as he has always done, agreed and said 'OK'. Now thats just MY 'opinion' and we all know what those are LIKE!! Heheheh
I cried for the lady from Buenos Aires! Same kinda thing happened to my mom. She had tickets, I have them now, to see him 4 the 1st time on April 27, 1976 in Spokane Wa & she got the dates mixed up and MISSED THE CONCERT!! My dad was going to take her 2 C him in Portland the next night but she said she'd wait till he came back but well he never made it back 😞😥😢😭
Aloha from Hawaii Much mahalos that mean thank you. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this video. I saw this group in that’s the way it is. Omg when he describes the magnetic feeling it’s amazing. It’s like angelic a real presence of and angel power walking around. The part where he describes his health and how he looked was heart breaking. I know he did not look physically bloated but man that guy was still r Handsome and to know how he was suffering and could still sing like that is amazing. I love Dave and carol speak about him. I’m sorry to the lady never met him. I believe what he sed about the colonel but the only problem I had with him was it was all business. I know Elvis was not an easy man to manage but he was suffering in his soul. Once again thank you so much billy this was so amazing good job. ELVIS 🕺 always on my mind 🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿puahone 🌺🌺🌺
Lovely people David and Carol. I look forward to seeing them soon, I remember being escorted by the police in 1997 when there was 22 coaches in convoy, there some film of it somewhere
id always heard the EP gave a really good performance (not just voice either) in that last concert in Indy. Maybe it just shows how really sick he really was in previous concerts.
Hello Spa Guy, I'm loving your Elvis playlist which I discovered about a week ago. This is a great interview but I felt compelled to comment on what David Wade said about Elvis not being able to play Wembley Arena in London. He said 'an act as big as Elvis' There have been many big acts - such as The Beatles and The Who - who played Wembley in the 60s and 70s. Then he made the comment 'how many nights would he have to play?' I'm not getting his point. When Luther Vandross came to London in 1986 he played eight nights at Wembley Arena. He also came back the following year and in 1989! I just find it puzzling.
He is not the first from over there to say that so there has to be a reason and second when did you suggest Elvis go over and play.. People say he was overworked and he was selling out every concert now people say he should have worked more and goes to the UK.. My point is as a business man it would make no sense to go to a different country and play when you are selling out every concert in this country..
Thank you for responding@@SpaGuy, I appreciate it. Whatever the reason, it's a real shame because he had global fans. Tighten up and keep doing what you're doing, I'm loving your videos.
One part I remember from TTWIS the bike he gave them to take back as the prize. I could tell it was not from in Las Veags but in the U.K. There were a good bit in that scene. Wish I could of been around to win Es bike he and Joe rode around on 😂
I don;t think you understood what they said.. They said they used footage from an Elvis festival filmed in Europe in the movie it was not even an Elvis concert it was an Elvis Festival..
Thats right it was an Elvis convention in Luxembourg. They sent a few cameras over there to film it. We had the same sort of convertions in Leicester when 2000 fans would attend from all over the UK. Brilliant times
Elvis could have played Royal Albert Hall or Earle's Court. And why couldn't he play a week at each? He did 2 shows a night for years in Vegas. Sorry, but The Col. didn't want Elvis in Europe.....I'm pretty sure The Col. was just tickling the ears when talking about a Elvis European Tour. Remember this is the guy who would say "You want to talk to Elvis? Sorry He Just Left."
Bob C. I think the same thing. A month-long engagement in one place in the UK would have gone a long way towards making up for the lack of a multi-country tour.
Great tour group. And even better human beings. I love these folks. They work so hard to make sure the Elvis fans have the best Elvis experience. TCB Strictly Elvis !!!!
Elvis would be so happy to have you on his team!
Imagine meeting Elvis ....and seeing him in concert so many times ....very lucky people...
Sad to hear just how very sick Elvis truly was. But he still preformed... Bless his heart!!!
His gratitude for all his fans was huge...
Thanks Again Spa Guy Stallings, great interview with these folks and their eye witness account of meeting Elvis and his last two concerts of 77. God Bless!
Great interview as always Billy
I was 12 when Elvis passed, broke my heart, and I knew he didn't look well but I guess as a young girl I had hope maybe he was still alive but I'm now 55 in the nursing field, I see all the signs of organ failure and the toxins building in his system
God bless him he still had his great voice a d still trying to make us happy learning so much Billy from all these stories thank you
I was 5 yrs old and August 16 is my birthday and wish it fell on another day. 😥
Another excellent video! Great interview! Thank you Spa Guy! God bless
If you give a thumbs down, you’re clearly not an Elvis fan; so why do you waste your time watching!
They are not watching they are just giving them a thumbs down because they are turds..
Spa Guy Boy oh Boy! You are much kinder than me.
And I bet its always the same people who do IT. They've got there thumbs ready even before the music starts. And it's the few same people who do it on other Elvis channels.They are Very sad and jealous people
D C I Totally Agree!!
Their jealous.
thanks for another great show you hit another one out of the ball park another untold story in the spa guy spot light
Again great interview, nice people again. Know quite a few people who flew out with the UK fan club. So it's nice to see the people who took them out to the USA .Thanks again spa guy

Shannon White I was also. I saw him in 1976 and still have my ticket for August 20, 1977
Another outstanding video, thank you Spa Guy!
Awesome interview. Such great people! If Elvis could only see how much we all care about him. Thanks Spa Guy!
Elvis touched all kind of people but especially hard working people, simple and humble people, like he was himself...they saved all the money and came over! What a great interview!

That was very interesting Billy. I can't wait to see the rest of the interview. You cut it off right in the middle of the guy talking.
Yes I did.. You have to cut it somewhere..
Elvis Presley Strictly Elvis Travel Service Tours it lovely elvis come england come to wembley true would elvis dream but come very ill never happy
Hi, Cool!
Ughhh you little whippersnapper. I was so engrossed in this...then it ended lol
Interesting...in the early 70s I could pop over to Vegas to see Elvis for a week wages I guess I didn't know how lucky I was...
Mr..Billy would you ever consider interviewing Larry Geller?
Spa Guy, Idk, I find it hard to believe that "That's the Way it Is" was filmed anywhere except California.
I don;t think you understood what they said.. They said they used footage from an Elvis festival filmed in Europe in the movie it was not even an Elvis concert it was an Elvis Festival..
Thats right it was an Elvis convention in Luxembourg. They sent a few cameras over there to film it. We had the same sort of convertions in Leicester when 2000 fans would attend from all over the UK. Brilliant times
You should try to meet Angie Marquise marquise ?that would be awesome!!
I agree that would be a great video
Billy, if you could go back to any year and see Elvis would you give 1/2 of your yearly income?
Yes
Hi ★ cool stuff★★ You can get fulltime job with Elvis biografi & People around this ★ Nice Take care out there♥ & ♥ to Logi. / Lotta.
I felt so bad for the lady that still cries about her lost opportunities. It just wasn't meant to be I guess. Very sad.
Elvis could have played Royal Albert Hall or Earle's Court. And why couldn't he play a week at each? He did 2 shows a night for years in Vegas. Sorry, but The Col. didn't want Elvis in Europe.....I'm pretty sure The Col. was just tickling the ears when talking about a Elvis European Tour.

Bob C. I think the same thing. A month-long engagement in one place in the UK would have gone a long way towards making up for the lack of a multi-country tour.
The UK fan club used to say the only Place big enough for Elvis was, Earls Court in London
