The night Bruce Springsteen came to Graceland to meet Elvis 

I love this story! Elvis inspired so many artists. He was loved so much! Thank you.

Elvis to this day is Bruce’s ultimate hero. He was only 25 at the time and with the bluster of youth, he just wanted to meet his hero as people have with Bruce since then. Bruce has used Elvis’s reclusiveness as a warning about not how to handle stardom. Elvis was the first rockstar so he had to make his own trail which wasn’t healthy obviously.

Bruce Springsteen, awesome, even the Boss was influenced by Elvis! Darealdeal

The King,the Boss

Bruce was the man, tickled about idols having their own idols. Great story.

Springsteen’s love for Elvis is well known. He was devastated when Elvis died, and the song, «Johnny Bye Bye», is about Elvis. «Fire» would have been phenomenal for Elvis, well suited.

❤😊Thank You so much for this wonderful story! Love it! 🙏💎🌻⚡

Thank You Kind David You Give Us Most Interesting Stories About Our Elvis Presley You Are The Man📰❤

Większość artystów zespołów było pod wrażeniem Elvisa on ich inspirował podziwiali Elvisa

One of my favourite ‘Elvis’ stories… thanks for delivering David…💯👍

Bruce is such an awesome songwriter. I can think of many Springsteen songs that Elvis would have sang perfectly. Come to think of it, can anyone imagine Elvis singing Born in the USA haha 😂

I heard that story about bruce another great thing about elvis

Which ever way the story goes, Bruce still got over that gate!!😂❤️🇦🇺

He saw Elvis in concert in Philadelphia next year.

Thanks for the video David. I've always loved this story although people told he made a mistake with the year or where Elvis was in that moment (not in Las Vegas) 😂

I was amazed when I visited Gracelands at how low the walls were, it didn't strike me as a very secure property.

Would have been a monster hit for Elvis. I often wonder what could have been had Elvis done a special like Roy Orbison's Black & White Night.

Fantastic as always Dave, thanks, TCB

I never knew that Bruce Springsteen was around that far back in that year interesteing I only got to know Bruce Springsteen from the 1990's . Thank you David from Sydney Australia ❤

Fabulous episode ❤

totally unbelievable

1st to say TCB DAVID 🏎️🏁⚡️

I happened to know the Boss' work only with his huge hit "Born in the U.S.A.", by 1984.

Great! 👍 I knew about this one. Please make a video about the Jimi Hendrix connection/story.

Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice big theatre show writers hear in the UK wrote its easy for you for Elvis on his last Album Moody blue , people always want to hear him tell the story on his talk theatre tour. They where starting out and the song really picked up on Elvis's life at that point, they were delighted he sung there song .

Elvis had Great Dane Dogs..😂❤

👌🤟👍✌

Wonder what Elvis thought of this? I think the taxi cab driver might have just assumed to deter Bruce from jumping the fence.

There is an interesting speech Bruce Springsteen made talking about Elvis and his music impact. It's a video called "BS praises Elvis"

Dolly Parton song I Will always Love You was not turn down by Parker It was turned down by Dolly Parton because Parker wanted Elvis to have all publishing rights to it. And it was a song that Dolly said she could not give up it was for her family. Dolly Parton didn't actually decline Elvis Presley's offer to record "I Will Always Love You." The story is that Elvis showed interest in recording the song, but his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, wanted a share of the publishing rights, which Dolly Parton didn't agree to. As a result, the collaboration didn't happen.Sep 24, 2023

Amazing. Still find it strange that even a 'star' like Springsteen feels the need to jump over walls to get to Elvis - couldn't he just give him a call ? 😅 🐕‍🦺👑

He was Elvis.

I think Jimi Hendrix saw Elvis in concert 1957??

Maybe Bruce had issues with impulse control or something because it seems like a very strange thing to do, especially for a grown man. Maybe being on those 2 magazine covers went to his head. You would think that one famous person (Bruce) would understand that another famous person (Elvis) might not want people going commando to get onto their property. I can't help but wonder what would have happened if Elvis had been there.

No telling how many hits Elvis missed out on because of Parker

I think Elvis may have had the Great Danes, Brutus and Snoopy then. It may have been earlier than 75, though. I remember Lisa Marie playing with them.

Jimmy Hendrix died in 1970

Good 👍 video but one little information was not correct JIMMY Hendrix died September 18th 1970 he couldn't have been at Elvis performance in 1975

----------- Unlikely something would have developed in a meeting. The C-factor always emerges (Colonel). Aside from that, Bruce's music around this time wasn't what I think Elvis would have liked. Elvis' music was mostly adult contemporary with a country flavor, minus the occasional rocker. Bruce's music always seemed jazzy to me. I know he's also rock but not what I called rock at the time. But there's the other factor, Elvis did seem to experiment briefly in 1974 with a bit of funk (if you talk in your sleep, i gotta feeling, etc). The best thing musically for Elvis was to put himself under total control of someone like Dave Edmunds (who did the Everly's later stuff) or Jeff Lyn of ELO (who did Roy Orbison's later stuff). These Brits knew how to bring that American Rock & Roll sound back to us Yanks.

There's more to this story! Bruce's version is not what really happened. Starting with the date, Springsteen did a show in Memphis at Ellis Auditorium on April 29, 1976. Elvis wasn't in Vegas at this time, but he was in Nevada about to start a 10 day run in Lake Tahoe. Elvis's cousin Harold Loyd was the guard and he intercepted Bruce at the front door. The interaction may not have been as pleasant as Bruce described. Superfan Debbie Brown who lived across the street in the apartments. She and her friend John were hanging out in front of the gates. They heard a commotion from up the driveway and it was getting louder as Harold and Bruce were walking down the driveway. It went something like this..."Son, you can't be up here." "But I'm Bruce Springsteen!" " Well, I'm Harold Loyd" "Yeah, but I'm Bruce Springsteen!" "And I'm Harold Loyd and you need to get go!". The gate was opened, and John mentioned to Debbie..."yes, I heard of this Springsteen guy. He's popular around New York." As Bruce was passing them, Debbie said loud enough for Bruce to hear..."Well he may be somethin' in New York, but in Memphis he ain't shit!"

That drawing Jimmy Hendrix did of Elvis @ 2:52 looks more like TRUMP! 😆

Jimmy Hendrix passed away September 18 1970. You stated He saw Elvis in 1975. 🤨

Jimmy hendrix died in September 18 1970

You made an error with Jimi Hendrix Jimi Hendrix passed away in 1970 so how was he able to see Elvis in 1975?

No it was April 29, 1976. Elvis was in Lake Tahoe

Bruce likes to tell stories ... this one is probably bs though ~☺
