We used to live by a RC bottling place and my mom would buy us cases of glass RCs and peach nehi. We would use 6 of the RC bottle caps and get to go to the movies on Saturdays for free. AND with your ticket into the theater you were entered to win a 6pk of RCs. Great memories.
When I was about 8 years old there was an RC machine at my Dad's work that sold bottles. He was in charge of filling it and removing all the bottle caps. RC had a promotion if you sent in a certain number of bottle caps you got a free shirt. I must have had a dozen RC shirts that year. I loved them but I remember my Mom only allowing me to wear one once a week because she didn't want everyone to think I was wearing the same shirt every day.
It always tickles me when people say that Graceland's decor is "dated"... Well, of course it is; Elvis died in 1977 when interior decorating was very distinctive. Thanks for this awesome video, Adam!
One of my biggest dreams before i go to heaven hopefully is to do this exact journey..Hope i live long enough to pay my respects to the king of Rock that will always be..and can never be replaced.
It really helps to have lived in or near that time period of Graceland to realize how nice that was. It really was extremely luxurious living. I think that's what makes it interesting is when you put it more in perspective. Now days its difficult to even put the 90's time period into perspective when compared to today.
Graceland is ELVIS and as visitors/fans we crave that feeling of us being a part of that time!.....the decor is what echoes his life....its a museum....TCB
Wish I was only 46 again. You're just a youngster Mr Woo. My first trip to Memphis was in August of 1974 in a failed attempt to meet him at the gate. He was in Vegas at the time performing and I had to wait two years until October of 1976 in order to see him in Chicago.
I'm from Melbourne Australia I went to Graceland in 2015 and I loved it.We even went to that house in Tupelo but it was late at night when we were there so couldnt go inside.I swung on that same swing and as Elvis would say Thank you very much for this vlog
Anything Elvis Presley’s is golden. Any thing. However, Benjamin Franklin’s words continue to echo in our history. ‘Taxes and Death continue to be inevitable for us all.’ #TCB ⚡️ 🕺🏽
I like seeing Adam have company as well. However some people, myself included, don't mind doing things by ourselves and being alone most of the time. You get used to it. Plus being free to do whatever whenever on a whims notice is definitely something I think Adam enjoys.
7.30am-8.30am daily you are allowed to walk up to the meditation garden at no charge. I have done it numerous times and been there alone. Great memories. Cheers
To prove from humble beginnings, sheer hard work and pure talent can get you somewhere in life . Elvis is definitely proof of that among many other artists Great vlog Adam
Hay Adam in 1997 I stopped off there and visited Graceland and other places like the Lisa marie plane the restaurant etc looking at your picture's nothing has changed much.thank you for taking back .
Just pulled into Memphis today . I’m working right next to grace land I can’t wait to see it . Elvis wasn’t my generation but love the stories . Love the vids Adam big fan for as long as you have been filming.
awesome video adam thank you for allowing me to see where my cousin elvis was born and showing the inside of graceland i got to met elvis in person in 1976 in las vegas he was buying a handgun in a department store that was cool
That was really cool. Back in the 1970s that house had all the up dated stuff and 3 color TVs looks like 6 was a big thing back then and size was kinda normal for the times a 20 inch color tv was big for the times then like a 60 inch or so is today. Things do change fast in life Cool 😎 Thanks Adam Woooo
I am so happy that you did this with respect! I have been a die hard Elvis fan since 1958. Been to Graceland more times than I can count and I love Tupelo too! I have a brick around the statue there. Thank you Adam well done!!!!!
My mom was a massive Elvis fan me and my family also but my mom adored him we went to Graceland in 2009 and toured his mansion twice while we there we were planning a 2021trip Sadly my mom passed away right out of the blue in march this year thank you for this Adam brings back so many memories
Making my comment at this video now. I live in Tupelo. Surprised to hear you were born in Tupelo! I've only been to Johnnie's one time. When the time comes that nobody knows who Elvis is, Tupelo will fade away. I've only been to the Memphis home once, also. After they buried Elvis on the property, I was there. There was no tour of the home until years later. I love your videos.
went there in 2018.. first time touring Graceland.. there is such an awesome aura when you go in.. hard to explain.. but it was the coolest thing ever.. Elvis was truly a gift from heaven.. and i'm a Atheist!
When I was a kid I toured graceland with my family. It was some kind of celebration day there were flowers everywhere and a news reporter who came into our tour. The reporter asked in front of the roped off gold piano if anyone played piano in the group? I did play so my parents tried volunteering me. They asked if I wanted to play it and said I would be the first person to play that piano since he died. I was too shy and too afraid of messing up in front of all those ppl so I turned down that opportunity. But the memory of being asked has still been sweet.
I went to Graceland way back in 1995 , it was surreal walking around there, back the. You couldn’t take video or flash photos, maybe one day I’ll get back there
I was hoping you were going to Memphis as well. My dad had a colegue from Memphis and he actually gave me a cd called walking in Memphis by Marc Cohen. Great song for sure. They filmed a hallmark movie in Graceland.
In 1961 my Mom, Aunt, sister, cousin and I pulled up in front of Graceland. The gates were closed and a guard (said he was Elvis' Uncle)came out, told us the place was closed because Elvis was in Hollywood making a movie. After a couple of minutes of talking, he let us in, but only to drive up front and take a few pictures. I still have a picture of us standing in front, just like the one at 16:10.
My daughter and her husband lived in Tupelo for about two years! Lovely town and I have a picture with that Elvis! What a wonderful memory! Fun fact: I was born on September 26th, 1957!!!
First time I was at Graceland, the gates stood open when The King was not in residence and one could wander throughout the house and grounds at will...thanks for the memories!
How I wish I could travel to these certain places, either way thanks as always for these traveling contents. I Always enjoy the “CLASSIC CAR ALERT” moments. :)
Beautiful Adam. Been there twice. Waiting for Australia and the U.S. to open its borders and will be back at Graceland in a flash. ❤️🕺🏻Thank you. Thank you very much ❤️🤗💕
Been to Graceland on Oct 9th 1994It was an amazing day.My late husband wrote several Elvis plays an trained an Elvis tribute artist.the server in the US army together.thanks for sharing is I slept to your the Lisa Marie his jet well thanks again see ya on your next adventure
The summer of 78, I was 13 and on a cross country vacation with a three family group, of aunts uncles and cousins. The Presley family were still living in Graceland, but they led groups through the grounds too the grave. It was great trip , I saw more of America than I’ve seen since. Hoping too change that next year.
one of my favourite places i visit every year Elvis week. If you get back there again look for my brick that i paid for that was laid down near the statue at the fairgrounds. My name Heidi Sargent from Australia is on it. I was so excited when i paid into that brick program. One of the best things Ive ever done. I love that man Elvs Presley.
I used to go to Memphis every year for thanksgiving and one year I realized I had never been to Graceland so I went. I was absolutely fascinated with the way he lived being the first superstar for lack of a better word and now I have been to Graceland 7 times!
Adam like they always said Elvis really was the king but it was so sad that he caused his own death because as hard as it is to get to any status of fame no matter what it is and then ruin it I’ll never get it and Adam you probably understand what I’m talking about but all the Elvis statues were amazing also your food looked pretty darn tasty now the house was quite something I mean the pictures you showed of the inside were so beautiful I couldn’t believe it and by the way you took great pictures also your souvenirs you got were pretty nice you lucked out Adam and the shot of the Graceland sign on the building was a sight see again thanks buddy for an awesome time and with that peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you Adam and I’ll see you on the next vlog adventure also please be safe out there and before I forget RIP Elvis my friend you are truly missed by me and so many others so keep the music going in the heaven’s above
I was there in 94 I was on a tour of Graceland as we were in the tv room I kicked the bottom rim of a bar stool made such a loud clink sound everybody turned and the guide said , don’t destroy Graceland we all laughed.
I made it to Graceland for my first time in July of this year, didn't get to take the tour but was there, thanks to my two daughters ❤️😁. We did go by his high school and their first apartment in Memphis, also Sun Studio. This was shortly before the BLM movement messed up the wall and sidewalk. Thanks for this tour, love it. By the way I am 58 years old, it was a great time.
I was just there myself on the 20th of last month. Had a great time. We also toured the birthplace. Beautiful park. And the homecoming statue was my favorite. Thank you Adam. Love Elvis all my life.
The greatest of all time elvis presley i hope to visit Graceland one day
ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I treated myself for my 50th and went to Graceland. I love Elvis ❤
THE KING IS HERE!!!!
Absolutely adore Elvis.
I love Elvis Presley I like his songs 😍🥰♥️👍👍 hi Adam the Woo
That was so good man. So epic. Touring The King’s footprints and Castle. Priceless
What up jay. Hope all is well my friend.
You're Priceless too Tampa Jay.
I never understood why people give videos a thumbs down. People work hard on videos and that’s not cool at all.
Great place of birth place of the King 🤟 Elvis🤘😎💝👍😎 🇱🇷
So happy to see one of my favorite towns in my State getting some UA-cam recognition.
She is so adorable
Awesome episode! Elvis Forever!♥
From rags to riches. Its really a great American story. The greatest performer to ever live. Nice vlog 👍🏻😎
Thank you, thank you very much!
This is shaping up to be one of my favourite ATW road trips thus far!
We used to live by a RC bottling place and my mom would buy us cases of glass RCs and peach nehi. We would use 6 of the RC bottle caps and get to go to the movies on Saturdays for free. AND with your ticket into the theater you were entered to win a 6pk of RCs. Great memories.

I love it, my wife and I have been slowing converting our den into our version of the Jungle Room. Nothing like that 60s/70s decor!
shes so smiley and giggly
One of my biggest dreams before i go to heaven hopefully is to do this exact journey..Hope i live long enough to pay my respects to the king of Rock that will always be..and can never be replaced.
Wow great Thankyou for sharing
His friend Natalie dresses absolutely fantastic 👍🏻
Presley would be proooooouuuuuuuud
ThankYouVeryMuch!.............TCB⚡
Watching Adam😀🙏❤️🇺🇸
No man has ever left his mark like Elvis. He was the Rock and Roll Icon of all time.
It really helps to have lived in or near that time period of Graceland to realize how nice that was. It really was extremely luxurious living. I think that's what makes it interesting is when you put it more in perspective. Now days its difficult to even put the 90's time period into perspective when compared to today.
Wow, what a house! Thanks, Adam. Safe travels,👍🏼🤘🏼😎
Awesome ❤❤

Buying a guitar from Tupelo hardware is definitely on my bucket list
Great! I was there in 2015. We visited Johnnies and his birthplace and finally went to Graceland.
Wish I was only 46 again. You're just a youngster Mr Woo. My first trip to Memphis was in August of 1974 in a failed attempt to meet him at the gate. He was in Vegas at the time performing and I had to wait two years until October of 1976 in order to see him in Chicago.

Love love love Elvis. Just went to Tupelo about a month ago. Had to stop and say Hi to him. Great vlog.
My cousins used to live down the street from Elvis's home
Great video! I love when he brings a friend along. Seeing him by his lonesome makes me think he's lonely. 😔
I like seeing Adam have company as well. However some people, myself included, don't mind doing things by ourselves and being alone most of the time. You get used to it. Plus being free to do whatever whenever on a whims notice is definitely something I think Adam enjoys.
This friend seems like she could be his daughter or niece.
@@L8-APEX yea the flexibility to be spontaneous is nicer when you’re alone.
@@sofiabravo1994 Agreed.
This was so cool!! Thanks for showing it!!
Fantastic thanks for doing what you do Adam!
Awesome video,,thank you for sharing,,Im going to Graceland in April,,Ive always wanted to see Elvis's home,,I can't wait
Hi Adam You Have Great Day Go Enjoy Life 👍🏼😀
7.30am-8.30am daily you are allowed to walk up to the meditation garden at no charge. I have done it numerous times and been there alone. Great memories. Cheers

Elvis is everywhere.
Elvis is everything.
Elvis is everybody.
Elvis is still the king.
#ifyoudontgotMojoNixonthenyourstorecouldusesomefixin
Isn't it odd that Adam loves The big E but also loves the Evil Anti Elvis... Michael J Fox!
@@Coopdog-dp5eq Huh??
Mojo Nixon
@@18roger1986 Don't know him. I've only heard of Mr. Mojo Risen.
Risen..Risen...
One of my favorite hardware stores. I stop by every time I go south from Wisconsin to visit my family in and around Tupelo.
Who says you can never go home. That’s cool that you have a hometown connection to the king.
Just pulled into Memphis today . I’m working right next to grace land I can’t wait to see it . Elvis wasn’t my generation but love the stories . Love the vids Adam big fan for as long as you have been filming.
Memphis TN is my favorite city. Thanks Adam.

In 1990 I took a cross country drive from Santa Barbara, Ca to Palm Coast Fl...Needless to say I did stop to see Graceland & his Tupalo home..🤔
Long Live The King! Thanx Adam!

Outstanding! Graceland is on my bucket list!
Many people think Elvis was from Memphis. They dont know he was born in Tupelo. So, I'm glad you showed his birthplace too.
👑
"Thank You Very Much!" 🕺
Wonderful! Enjoyed hearing about Elvis, & seeing Graceland.
I love it there your stepping back in time
went there in 2018.. first time touring Graceland.. there is such an awesome aura when you go in.. hard to explain.. but it was the coolest thing ever.. Elvis was truly a gift from heaven.. and i'm a Atheist!
me elves and friends dug a tunnel / bunker in some woods in Tupelo ,i was there last week and its still there .
When I was a kid I toured graceland with my family. It was some kind of celebration day there were flowers everywhere and a news reporter who came into our tour.

Wow never had the chance to go to Graceland
Do you remember what year you went?
I love Elvis. That was awesome. Thank you, Adam and friend. Be safe.

I don't think so. People have never bee able to roam around like cattle. Some of his family lived on property for many years.
How I wish I could travel to these certain places, either way thanks as always for these traveling contents.

Jack Harrington. Yeah it's nice to see some older stuff on the road, but Adam missed the 68-72 Ford F-100 at 10:01.
Did this exact tour on my honeymoon 9 years ago as part of a tour of the South. Great road trip and memories. Greetings from Ireland
Beautiful Adam. Been there twice. Waiting for Australia and the U.S. to open its borders and will be back at Graceland in a flash. ❤️🕺🏻Thank you. Thank you very much ❤️🤗💕
