I live in Fayetteville and the great concerts I saw there in the 70s will stay with me forever.
I bet they were Epic!!
My hometown is Dunn! I live near Goldsboro now but I frequently visit this area quiet often to attend the races at the Fayetteville Motor Speedway and Rock Fish Motor Speedway! Never realized Elvis stayed in this hotel! Breaks my heart to find out the Auditorium is about to be torn down! As I stated in a previous comment I will cherish this video forever!
Oh! I bet...The Seventies was a great time to be alive and a music lover! No one today will ever fully understand how live music was everything.
Thank you Spa Guy for another great piece of ELVIS s History...I bet that all those fans who were waiting in line for hours to get tickets for the August 1977 concert, must of been devastated by ELVIS s passing,, like the rest of the world...I love the last picture of ELVIS in the car, HE looks so good and so happy..Thanks again Spa Guy, you are the greatest...****LONG LIVE THE KING****
Nice comment. HE LIVES FOREVER in OUR MEMORIES ! :)
For those of us who never had a chance to see Elvis perform, videos like this are gold. I feel that watching videos like this is the closest I can ever get to really seeing and experiencing what the event of an Elvis show was like. You have done a beautiful job making this one, like all of them. Thank you Spa Guy!
Thank You so much for watching.. I feel the same way going there and making the videos..
Intanto grazie per i sottotitoli in italiano 😊O mio Dio che strana sensazione mi attraversa il mio corpo. Tutte questi stupendi fan che aspettavano il grande RE , ma lui cambio’ bivio 😭 ELVIS TCB per sempre 👑❤️⚡️🇺🇸🙅🥰🇮🇹❤️
I dearly love these videos, showing where the shows were and all the associated hotels, arenas, etc. This is exciting to see where the legend occurred. Although t them at the time, they were doing what they loved, they never thought of how big this would become. Thanks for showing all this, I love to watch your videos.
Thank you Billy ,You could feel Elvis prescens and echo of Elvis 💝 . From Australia 11Febuary 2023 Saturday night❤️
Breaks my heart to know that this piece of Elvis history was not kept up! I Am from Dunn Which is about 25 miles North of Fayetteville! I have been to the Cumberland County Memorial Auditorium many times! I will cherish this video forever! Thank you Billy for taking the time to do these videos! This one is very sentimental for me!
I went to Dunn and filmed while I was there.. I filmed about Link Wray..
@@SpaGuy Link Wray was awesome! Dunn needs to honor him in some way! The citizens of Dunn need to see that he gets honored just as Dunn has honored. General William C Lee!
I was in Fayetteville back in the 70's. Went to Methodist College for a meet and greet almost went there for 4 years
Sadly circumstances stopped me from going personal family reasons
Never got to see ELVIS loved his music my memories back in the day
Always great videos Billy gold 🌟 my friend.
I started Methodist College in 77.
@@kelleyjones2285 I was supposed to have gone in 76 it was a beautiful campus but sadly I was unable to go thanks for the reply
Back in the day I would have never dreamed Elvis would have played such a small venue. I guess that is why he did 3 shows there to make it worthwhile. I thought Asheville was small but this is even smaller.
Always watch but never comment. THANK YOU for all you do. I appreciate it from this 55 yr old woman. Please keep it coming for us Elvis fans. Again, thank you Mr. Billy!
Thank You for the encouragement!!
Thank you Mr. Spa Guy, aka, Mr. Billy Stallings for another fantastic podcast of Elvis history. A shame that the Crown/Cumberland Arena is being torn down. Glad you got pictures of it before it is gone. Also Elvis flying in and out of a air force base as only Elvis could accomplish lol ! Those fans waiting all that time to obtain tickets and sadly not being able to see Elvis because of his passing...so sad. I love the picture of Elvis in the car and in the back seat it looked like. He looked good there. So sad that Gladas, Vernon, Elvis and Lisa Marie are now all gone... basically the Elvis Presley core family of three generations.
Safe travels and adventures Mr. Spa Guy... super sleuth in Elvis history. God's speed.
In S hrevepot were Elvis got discovered the Lousiana Hayride .The Lousiana Hayride was in the Municipal Auditorium. They have pictures and I got to stand on the stage were he stood. I felt his energy .
I got my parents 26th row for Elvis 1975
Nassau colisium. My mother never ever forgot it she talked about it for the rest of her life I'm so glad I got her the tickets
She was a huge Elvis fan my poor dad I think he was a bit jealous I miss u mom and dad so much see u soon say hi to Elvis for me
I attended a weekend gospel concert in 81 at that facility. The Dixie Melody Boys we’re hosting top southern gospel groups at that time. There were several large photographs of Elvis around the arena. We had run of the place and went into Elvis dressing room. It was awesome to us at that time. Thanks for the video.
Cool Stuff Tim.. I know The Dixie Melody Boys well they were from the town where I lived in North Carolina.. I also toured with the Dixie Melody Boys band after they change their name to Jackson Heights..
Elvis has left the building saying started at the Louisiana Hay ride Hank Snow started saying it and it stuck
It is awesome to have a log book and pictures so that we know for sure what happened. Sad that the building are being torn down. So glad that you got to film the Arena before it is gone. It's even sadder that the fans who camped out and got tickets never got to see Elvis. You know that many of them kept their tickets instead of cashing them back in just because they loved Elvis so much and wanted to hang onto them. Thank you so much Spa Guy for another great and true Elvis video.
Great find Billy! Thanks for keeping alive in my heart. Wish I was old enough to see Elvis before he passed. Continued success to you and your family Billy.
That’s my home arena Billy! Saw Rick Flair there several times LOL METALLICA in 1989 and even walked across the stage when I graduated high school. My mom was there to see Elvis as well …she sat in the section behind Elvis with my dad. She had a ticket for the final show there but obviously that never happened. I’ve asked her about what she did with the ticket ..they had a tribute concert the following year there after his passing she used the ticket then they allowed that or a refund. Thanks as always 252 says hey!
Great info!!
Legal mesmo que tudo isso 👍 é verdade é está tudo registrado,para o nosso deleite.Amo demais essas histórias, vídeos e tudo mais.Obrigada SPA Guy, valeu demais 💖🥰🌹🦋 parabéns 👏❤️.
Another bit of Elvis history being demolished, so sad. Thanks Billy.
Thank you spa guy brilliant from all the Elvis fans in England .
Billy you are the man! You should try and get some artifacts from that building before it's torn down! Thanks for all you do brother oh, you keep Elvis Spirit Alive
i live north of fayetteville about 30 minutes. been a Elvis fan since i was 5. I had my Special Forces Graduation here back in 1999. i knew he played here and was neat to stand where Elvis once stood

What a find - such a shame these buildings are being demolished or left abandoned but so nice to see them - would have loved to have been able to have seen just one concert 😢 but thanks for sharing these videos for us all to see.
As always the spaguy makes any history story so interesting especially when it's about ELVIS PRESLEY LIFE thanks you so soooo much spaguy I appreciate you !!!! God bless you and your family my friend 🙏 ❤️ thanks again 🙏...
Feb.6,2023 Monday. I am thankful for Billy Stallings . He has a good Elvis history collection.
Love the way you take us there. Thank you Spa Guy!!😊
Thank you, Spa Guy, Mr. Billy Stallings. A beautiful job telling the history of our beloved Elvis, by so many. He traveled to us and shared his life with us. I'm grateful for the past memories and the present history that you Spa Guy, research, and put effort into telling the masses that still love our Elvis today. What a life it was.
Thanks for these info video, great to watch. It was a real surprise in 2015 when these 3 concerts were released on cd.
Thank you so much for sharing these videos. I just love seeing where Elvis played and stayed. Keep them coming!
I so.happy you found this arena before it got torn down there is not to many left thanks billy. for doing this

You're no1 in the 🌎 world

Looking at the road, 🇺🇸 🇺🇲
America 🇺🇸 is a big country
Thank you spa Guy ^^♡
Had to watch this one again. Shared it with my Elvis friends because it was so interesting.
SpaGuy I really do Enjoy the quality of your content. You do the Research. You cover as many details as possible. Thank You !
I appreciate the encouragement.. I do my best..
Great video as always! Sure would be nice if you could do a video of Duluth, Minnesota where Elvis had played not long before he died. I remember I lived in International Falls, MN. that last year or so, and delivered the Duluth morning newspapers and remember reading the articles when he came to town, I think twice in that last year or so. He landed with the Lisa Marie and 2 other airplanes those times. And stayed in the Radisson Hotel, had the top 3 floors I believe. I was 15 at the time & one of my school friends mother actually went to see him, she told me the show was awesome! And sadly I also delivered the paper the morning after he died. I'll never forget and was some sad times.
We haven't made it to Minnesota to film yet but we will..
I'm from laurinburg n.c I remember Elvis Presley playing Fayetteville North Carolina in 1976 wish he got play in 1977 I miss him
Absolutely fabulous. So great to see this Elvis history back in action. Love all the work you (and Trey) do to bring new light to the history of Elvis. It's so great to see that the small details matter to make up a large life. Until the next time, my friend, take care.
Very cool. Nice work and thanks a bunch 👍🏼😎
Another great one as always from the Spa Guy! Thanks Billy
Fayetteville is my hometown. I have been in that arena several times. There is a commemorative plaque on the wall at the entrance for those Elvis shows. I'm surprised you didn't see it.
FANTASTIC AS ALWAYS, BILLY! I trust you are well, friend!!! ~ Christopher Tyler
It's sad most of these places were Elvis sang are being pulled down it would be great if someone could save them as they would make a great museum and a great piece of Elvis history the way it's going there will be nothing left I know lots of people would visit them they hold a lot of history if one or two were to be saved it could be as big as Graceland it really hurts me to hear that those places are going to be gone. It's nice you managed to video them I like seeing these places and you telling everyone about Elvis when he appeared there great video I hope you do more before they're gone.
Thank you friends from Seville, Spain. I really like all these videos, photos and memories about Elvis and the places where he performed with his group, his friends and bodyguards and his beautiful girlfriend, who I love. It seems that he loved him very much and helped him a lot, even in hospital admissions, but she had to go and leave him because she knew he wasn't going to change and she was wasting away inside. Then Ginger Alden came along, but for me this woman, apart from Pryscilla, is the women who put up with that fantastic lifestyle and at the same time so destructive, that in the end they took him to the grave too soon. I am a big fan of Elvis.
Martin Sheen on Elvis: "Nobody knew how to deal with him."
Another fascinating piece of history. Thanks Spa Guy. It's always a pleasure watching.
I remember my mother, aunt, and my grandmother going. Uncle babysitting me during show.
Home of many great NWA Mid-Atlantic Jim Crockett Promotions wrestling shows. From Ric Flair to Dusty Rhodes to Lex Luger, all the greats wrestled in the Cumberland County Arena.
Thank you for doing these Spa Guy. You are great♥️
I was on my way to pick up tickets for Elvis' show in Ky and I heard it on the radio. I cried for weeks, even months. Miss you Elvis!! RIP. Love you!!❤❤❤🎸🎼🎬
I was at that concert. My family traded out saving our spot inline. Us kids would stay after school, my mom went after work and my dad slept overnight. The crazy thing about the concert is they had to move the line to the parking lot because, Mott the Hoople was playing that night. I know that the concert that was canceled, we had front row tickets but he had died. We went to one of the 3 days. After, "Elvis has left the building, my mom had me go on stage and grab his sweat towel but I was stopped by security. I think have pictures of us in the line.
Cool Stuff would love to see those pictures..
Spa guy is a legend! Love the content
Thankyou, Mr. SG for the very interesting informative video. As always. You are the great searcher of Elvis' history.
This is another awesome video. Thank you Spa Guy!
It's the period in time that he lives that was so great and people who all ived in that time will never forget the memories. Now he's been gone a long time and everything has changed for the worse.....
It's the very truth.
So cool you got inside and was able to have history on video now. Thanks for sharing this, Spa.
Another gem of Elvis history from Spa Guy& Trey thank you
Well done!
I love the Elvis. You give a lot of details like I love!! Can you do an investigation of when he played in Sweetwater Texas? I can’t find much
Trey has already started filming Texas I haven't yet but plan to start this year..
Spa guy just love your E true stories . Keep doing what you do best .from 🌞.
Wow fantastic discovery on Elvis history thanks Spa Guy
Thanks for this video. I live in the Fayetteville area and Ann from Memphis. Big Elvis fan!
That was a Guild guitar Elvis is playing at that concert. Great content Billy!
Interesting do you know where it is? He didn't play Guild often..
Wow.... I cant believe you did this video and I am seeing it. I have been looking on Google earth a couple of times trying to find this place. In 1988-89, I went here to see Reba McEntire preform. As I was in the lobby waiting to go in, there was a bulletin board in a glass case that had photos from when Elvis played there. I was surprised I was in the same building that he had a concert. I was convinced the building was gone since I couldn't locate it on Google earth, which it could be now , since I dont know when you did this video, but you can go back in years and it might show up....... I wrote this first part before watching the rest... and Yes! the photos you were talking about being thrown out must have been the ones I saw back then. Also in your video, when your shooting down the lobby, I see that glass case on the left wall and just past that was the doors we went into. That would have been at that time the back of the seating area for the Reba concert.
I filmed this December 2022..
Another fantastic video. Thank you.
more great elvis content. way to go spa guy😊
Thank you so much for another amazing video.🙏
COOOOLLLL!! I just visited that area last year. It was very neat to see those sites and very thankful for your awesome video!! :)
❤ this was one of the best videos brother I watch it 2 times already back to back lol
Thank You Dennis!! Not too far from you!!
Wow holding up the suit....so glad you got to it before it git totally demolished.... thanks Spaguy 👍🙏
saw several concerts there, my first concert was there , Alice Cooper March 16 1973,my 15 th. Birthday my late brother took me to it.
This is an interesting story Spa Guy!... I always enjoy your Elvis videos, and I just subscribed to your sidekick Globetrotting With Trey!... 🙂
I can't believe they are going to tear down that building..... that's where we went for our church pilgrimage. Smh thanks for sharing buddy. I have seen you made it to kinston. We have alot if history and movie stars and others in sneadsferry nc have a blessed night
ThanQ Billy 🙏❤✌⚡⚡
Especially love your N.C. videos since i live here. Unfortunately i was only 8 when he was in Fayetteville and lived in Kansas at the time😢
That’s awesome you held that exact suit. Elvis must have been taller than I thought. Had to be at least 6ft.
Yes he was right at 6'..
Spa Guy you Are amazing ⭐️🙏🏻 Thank you ⭐️🙏🏻
Guild F-50 Sunburst acoustic guitar. I saw him use it in Providence in June 1976.
As always, great detective work!!!!
Billy I sent you an email about a year ago. I use to be in a multi sales business Amway that had pep rally’s there and the 2000s. I mentioned to you about the Fayetteville NC location before . I used to have multiple pictures of the pictures of Elvis at that location. The pictures stated that they sent Elvis’s piano there before the show that he had scheduled before he died. The piano was left at that location and was still there in early 2000’s . I am 53 years of age today so I don’t have a memory problem. I am 100% sure of what I am telling you. The piano is probably in someone’s private collection along with those photos. I am a native of Raleigh,NC. So find Elvis’s missing piano. That is the scoop
Thanks
Love your channel
Steven Blake
Cool stuff Steven email me billy@thesgnetwork.com I'd like to know more..
Elvis Presley relembrando o eterno king of rock in rooll🇧🇷🇧🇷"its or never ....."
Great information sir. 👍🏻
Thank you for another awesome video👏👍He always gave it his all to be there for his fans❤️🙌👑
During the early of part of 77, my parents had tickets to his show. Show would had to been near Pa. area. Mom couldnt go cause she was on bed rest do to being pregnant with me. A month after was born Elvis passed. Mom was a big fan of Elvis never got to see him.
Awesome thank you!
Thanks!
VERY KOOL BILLY!! love what you do....
thanks alot 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing these beautiful memories with this without you true history is being made by you and Trey. God bless both of you I always enjoy everything that you do say. I'm glad to see you I'm feel like you've been away for awhile but it could be just I haven't seen your videos. Sending blessings prayers hugs and love always to you and your family
Veronica I have been putting out videos weekly for years.. I took a breaker foe one week when Lisa passed and last August after Trey and I were attacked at the Dojo other than I have not missed..
In 1976 I was at the ticket window to purchase tickets to an upcoming gospel music show when the next window raised and tickets for his 3rd show went on sale. I was the only customer there so I stepped over and purchased two tickets. Took them home and gave them to my then wife and told her to find someone to give the second ticket to. I now live within sight of the Crown Center. This vlog was in my neighborhood.
Another great video Spa guy, I grew up in Garner North Carolina, I would travel to this very Arena to watch WCW pro wrestling back in the 90s, I knew Klondike Bill very well he was the head ring man for the company met I Ric Flair in that very building, very sad I hope they don't tear it down
Can’t believe it’s being torn down. I like way is. I don’t think bigger and better is always the way to go. I would love to go on an adventure sometime. Maybe we could pile in my motorhome and make it happen sometime.
Thank you spa guy.
Good job Detective. 😉🙏
Thanks for this video Billy. I'm in Fayetteville quite a bit, actually delivered some scissor lifts to the Fayetteville Airport about the same time you filmed this.
Brad stop thought there next time you are in town email me for info on getting in.. billy@thesgnetwork.com
@@SpaGuy awesome Billy thanks
Hey spa guy I live in fayetteville NC born and raised , I remember when he came to Fayetteville I was 10 yrs old my parents went to that concert .people were camping out the night before the concert. I love Elvis
Cool. I had seen that picture and it was said to have been in Atlanta 76 but I wondered what part of the Omni it could have been in. Now I know it was not in Atlanta.
Great job!
Excellent video! I was the person that inquired about the missing Elvis photos that had been on display in the arena for years. And now that they were found 4 years ago, the arena still hasn't placed them back on display.
Thank You for that.. I was glad to capture this place before it was gone!!
Crazy. That building looks to be in really good shape yet. Thanks for the story.
Yes it is.. they say it is the ADA regulations.. There is a brand new larger arena in the same parking lot..
Again, another interesting and very informative video, Billy!
Thanks very much.
TCB

I can't live without The Spa Guy and Elvis
