The fountain was built in 1835 (100 yrs before Elvis...LOL). The Hotel was built in 1607 and renovated in 1994. It`s such a joy traveling with you and getting all this information.

Hi Billy, this little town is named "Idstein". Close to Wiesbaden, one of the old, medieval town/ villages in the middle Rhine area and hotspot for us German fans. Nice that you brought this to all the fans in the States. Greetings from Germany and keep up the good work!

Hi Spa Guy, I am from upstate New York and last week vacationed in Nashville and Memphis. I am so happy I found your channel. Graceland was wonderful and full of so much history, but your channel takes Elvis history to the next level, with such awesome in-depth study of the places Elvis walked, lived and performed. This is a wonderful resource for fans of Elvis, and I thank you sir for showing us these priceless videos! I can't wait to go back to Memphis knowing all of this special knowledge of Elvis and his journey. Keep the videos coming my friend, they are awesome!

Beautiful Wiesbaden Germany ! Yes, reminds me of "Bush Gardens" at Disney World. Brings back memories of Germany for me. I miss the guest houses and food the most of Germany. Thanks for sharing where Elvis' movie, GI Blues, was filmed. Cool ! Thanks for bringing back the memories of Germany. "GI Blues" is a favorite movie of his for me. "Blue Hawaii" being my favorite. Hope you enjoyed Germany. Maybe see if some of the other actors in the "GI Blues" movie are still around and willing to tell their stories...cool ! Thank you Mr. Spa Guy.

While travelling around Florida back in the 90's I was staying in a Motel one night and 'Follow That Dream' came on and I watched it. The next week or so I was leaving Florida going north on 98 and after the town Inglis crossed a road called 'Follow That Dream PKWY' I was like...."No It Couldn't Be". I turned around and went east toward the gulf and sure enough there it was ( all overgrown with shrubs and brush) the little bridge where they "Squatted" the land...lol. It was a super fun feeling to just happen across it. I live in AZ now and I know there was a studio east of Apache Junction where Charro to was filmed.

Very interesting Hal Wallis came to Europe ready to film some supporting scenes for the next Elvis movie obviously believing a lot of people wanted to see Elvis on the silver screen again and investing a sizable sum in pre-production, yet Elvis was always plagued by a fear the public would forget him.

Em Gracylandi tem uma, em um restaurante em Túpelo, tem outra. Li em um livro que há estátuas em homenagem a Elvis, espalhadas em praças, em várias partes, em todos os países. Pelo menos algumas. Sou apaixonada por estas homenagens. Vai gravando aos poucos. Sê possível! Thank you my friend.

Prior to viewing this video, my understanding was that Elvis continued his regular duties as a jeep driver with a scout platoon of the 32nd Armor and was not even around for any of the film-shooting in Germany. Every shot of Elvis in "G.I. Blues" was filmed at Paramount Pictures studio after his discharge from the Army in March of 1960. PFC T.W. Creel (8-3-1935 to 8-17-2014) of Laurel, Mississippi, was Elvis' double in the Germany filming. I have a picture of Creel but don't know how to post it here.
@SpaGuy
@SpaGuy 6 лет назад
These shot I filmed were filmed while Elvis was still in Germany but he was still in the army at the time and where these shots were is not far from Bad Nauheim.. I feel they were trying to hold true to Elvis not doing anything while in Europe per the Colonel..
@drphil1949
@drphil1949 6 лет назад
Spa Guy I lived in Mannheim, south of where Elvis lived, when my dad was stationed there in the Army (1956-1960). We actually went to Elvis’ house in Bad Nauheim and saw him standing on the back stoop surrounded by fans - couldn’t get very close but close enough! A second time we drove to Ray Barracks in Freiburg and caught him as he was driving out the main gate. He actually pulled over and obliged us with pictures and autographs! Both incidents occurred in 1959. These were definitely highlights in my life!

@ianwatton570 4 года назад
I’m confused by this as Elvis filmed GI Blues at paramount studios in the U.S. and he did no filming in Germany, in fact filming started after he had returned to the states. It’s true that Hal Wallis visited Elvis in 1959 to discuss the movie and he did do some background and military footage but Elvis himself did no filming. Although this is very interesting I’m afraid, (unless you know something I don’t) that I don’t think Elvis was at these actual locations in the movie, he may have appeared to be, as you say with a stand in and some post production trickery, but I’m pretty certain he wasn’t.

@@SpaGuy hi, yes I did watch the video and am a big fan of all your Elvis related videos so didn’t mean to offend. I know you explained the use of a stand in but it’s only confirmed in the comments and not in the video that Elvis was never there, and as these videos are following in his footsteps I found it a little confusing that’s all. Anyway keep up the good work, as I say I’m a big fan.
