Just an observation but umm, how, if they enter thru the front door, do they then come round thru the kitchen to face the front door before going upstairs??????????
Not quite as melodic as QE2's (or as loud), but the fact that she's got the original Queen Mary's on there (as well as a reproduction of the other) is pretty cool, and it leaves a wonderful echo behind, very melodic!
If you knew the curator of Graceland and were taken upstairs by her with a tiny hidden camera, then that footage would be worth a bit of money. But the sad fact is, it wouldn't be very interesting really, lots of storage boxes littered about in all the room's. Now if it were opened to the public, it'd be tidied up and put on display as untouched in 40 year's, with strategically placed personal items like wallets, guns, photos, I'd cards and half written letters placed In his office and bedroom, the bathroom would have the cabinets left open with half empty bottles of aftershave, shampoo, toothpaste.. " all replicas on sale at over the top prices in the complex across the street". Most of which would just be period items acquired elsewhere and placed in cabinets. Period newspapers would also be nicely left around. People would think " this guy never cleaned up after himself or closed a drawer or cabinet" But it's all done for show. Basic ticket is about $100 with prices increasing if you want v.i.p, or v.i.p gold etc etc. I'm sure they could easily charge $100 to go upstairs and not be short of visitors. My guess is, you can't go up there because it creates a mystique, not to honour his memory, they've no problem with people wandering around the rest of his house. Of course people say his family use the upstairs " good publicity stunt" or have xmas in the house " good publicity stunt" Reality is they only visit for photo shoots to drum up trade, people want to be where his ex wife and daughter were last xmas " a connection to him". But it's money. He owned many other houses yet you wont hear mention of it at Graceland, apart from a small model of his childhood home in tupelo. Even growing up he lived in various places
For all y'all commenting on the fact that Ginger is wearing red pants when she gets out of the Stutz, then suddenly wearing blue shorts when they walk inside, this is merely evidence of the strange phenomenon that constantly surrounded Elvis. Women often discovered various articles of clothing disappearing the closer they got to E's lair, upstairs. Although off camera, had we been able to see Ginger actually cross the threshold of Elvis' bedroom, you would've noticed she was suddenly completely naked. Also, you were so busy watching the vanishing wardrobe you completely missed the fact that they exit the car and enter the front door, yet once it switches to an interior shot, they're suddenly entering the back door, and walking through the den/jungle room. You might be tempted to reason this away as simply a case(s) of bad-editing, or lack of continuity, but again, you'd be wrong. This sort of "interdimensional bilocation" was common place whenever Elvis was present. Also, it helped to distract from the fact that ladies were, as E would say, "slowly but surely gettin' psychically neked."
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).

This is cool if you really love and want to know the real Elvis go to. Memphis mafia kid RU-vid page. They lived at Graceland with Elvis for years . They tell real stories about their experience
What I've never understood about this scene is, they walk in the front door so the stairs are right in front of them, yet they take a left towards the kitchen then take the door below the stairs to circle back to the stairs again!
Elvis Presley will always be the king of rock and roll and elvis fans of all ages are engaged by the magic of elvis every day and but by some measures elvis Presley is even more popular right now
Someone might have pointed this out already after 5 years now.But if they all went in through the front door of the house,how the heck did they pass the front door again once they were already inside going upstairs.Bad editing.
Two things: 1) the carpet in the dining room and stairs look like they were originally reddish in color. They are now white for the tour. 2) That was a seamless camera transition going up the staircase and into the second floor which leads me to believe that it is the actual second floor shown in the movie.
he was having business with his girlfriend at the time went to the head and died.....the upstairs is untouched since 77 what do you think it look like????? 50 years... nothing has moved since the coroner and police investigation. that area has not be clean for a molecule of anything other that by an archiologist. think in kidding research it lisa marie has only been up there three times since.
Young Elvis' portrait is not hanging on the stairs wall (01:22). If I am not mistaken, the portrait was there by the time Elvis was alive. But in this scene it is not there.
Is this video a REAL video of upstairs of Graceland?? They have been keeping it under lock and key so long, i was just wondering if this is a real look into his actual room and bathroom??
Elvis Had to Fake his death in order to live. He didn't die untill just recently. It's was PROVEN WITHOUT A DOUBT IT WAS ELVIS. Some pple want to believe he Died in the 70's. But thankfully he didn't. Y'all really need to get updated. I'm a Hug Fan of his too. I'm Very happy Elvis got to Live Healthier finally & live a normal life. In as much as he could. He Family all knew the truth too. But Lied to Protect Elvis & so they could get the $$. As Elvis Wanted to Make sure they would be. Things we're about to fall apart$ wise for Elvis & They we're Dragging his health down & killing him by Using him Way to much. He's body couldn't keep up. So Faking his own death was the Only way to Keep Elvis alive!! I Don't Blame him one bit. I would have helped him too. If I could have. But many did. Including many of us and the dead know he was alive after the fact because I wanted him to stay alive they realized what was really going on. I'm sad now that his Truly gone. Yet Great ful he Lived a Fuller& Happier life. Well, as much as he could
