The hundreds of people waiting in line for tickets at Indianapolis' Market Square Arena 41 years ago may not have known it at the time, but they were going to see Elvis Presley's last show ever on June 26, 1977.
Very cool. My sister and I stood in line for tickets at the old Chicago Stadium when Elvis performed there May 1 & 2 in 1977. Just added to the experience and excitement. Great clip ! Brings back happy memories :):)
That was great. I saw Elvis in New Haven Connecticut on July 30, 1976 I still have my ticket stub. It was 12.50. Audio clips of it are on RU-vid it was great.
That’s a very special video. I’m a huge Elvis fan and I’m constantly looking for something that is totally new, in reference to Elvis. And this surely is new, I have never seen this footage before. Great job, thanks for the post.
Elvis was a big concert draw to the end. I think the reason people say that is because his records were no longer selling like they had previously he hadn’t had a true pop hit in almost 5 years by 1977. Burning love in 1972 was his last big hit.
@@neneshubbySeparate Ways #20, 1972. Steamroller Blues #17, 1973. I Got a Thing About You Baby #39, If You Talk in Your Sleep #17, Promised Land #14, 1974. My Boy #20, T-R-O-U-B-L-E #35, 1975. Hurt #28, Moody Blue #31, 1976. Way Down #18, 1977. These are the pop 40 hits after Burning Love, 6 top 20 and 4 top 40 in 5 years, not too bad. Some charted way higher on the country charts.
The first time I seen Elvis in live in Portland,Oregon. I felt lucky getting a ticket for the 8th row below the stage. I talked my dad it going and wait in line. He was lucky & got my ticket at 6. In the morning. It was awesome😃

Hey, Dianna! Just amazing that you got to see him live! Did you or your dad get a chance to film or photograph any of the concert?
Inflation Calculator calculates $15.00 in 1977 to $64.00 in 2020. A bargain still when you consider today's top legendary acts ask for at least 3 times that for tix.
From what i understand during his show at Midsouth Coliseum in Memphis 1974 the tickets started at 5 dollars- the ticket sold with attainable price because Elvis wanted to make sure his fans can afford to see his shows ❤
I am very sad I never got the chance to see him In person i was 30 when he died and still greaving him today just would have like to shake his hand oh well in the next life...
When were tickets for the June 26th concert go on sale? Looking at the footage it seems very cold outside so I'm guessing it might have been much earlier than June of '77?
i saw him 2 times in omaha nebraska and there was a 3rd concert didnt go i think it was recorded by cbs tickets were so cheap then at the civic auditrium girls ran over to the stage sat on folding chairs my one sister got a scarf dont know where it went i heard some women would snatch it out of little girls hands

Hey, Debbie! Did you ever get a chance to film or photograph any of the concerts you attended?
Hey guys! Fantastic footage!!! But...June 26 and people dressed in that way? The average temperature in Indianapolis that day was between 80 and 88 (official infos). There is something wrong here...I'm going to do some researches... :)))
These people were in line just to buy tickets for the concert, not the concert itself. This was probably February or March of that year hence the cold weather.
That was good I never see that before the girls faces are ladies' faces shall I say cute smiling even the young boy waiting to get tickets for his mum brilliant loved it
Except these people are coming to see real talent and don't have the IQ of a bedroom slipper. That kid in the video has a better vocabulary - even though Trump "Knows words" and "Has the best words." 🤣 This illiterate fool would fail a 6th grade civics test. He just hates who his flock hates. That is his one and only appeal.
Tony Cole That’s sad to hear I saw him on 76 and he was great. A friend of mine saw him in Las Vegas and he said what you said he thought it was terrible. I guess Elvis has had bad days like the rest of us. He certainly did way too many concerts
how can you say that this concert was so wonderfull i bought it on cd and when i heard my only one thinking is "I would give all to return in the past and see that concert" his voice is incredible in this show
