Today we arrived at the hotel villa Grunewald in Bad Nauheim Where Elvis stayed for four months when he was stationed in Germany I rented the same room Elvis stayed in 60 years ago it was an incredible feeling to step in Elvis’s footsteps my mom had a blast to sleep in Elvis‘s bed most of the furniture were original I was able to match up pictures where Elvis was standing afterwords I visit some other Elvis locations and ending up visiting the ray barracks where Elvis was stationed I also matched up some pictures there - บันเทิง
Wonderful !!! These are the best Elvis videos I ever saw. Thankyou
Thank you for sharing those memories of Elvis with us. Seeing them for the first time. He was so young back then in the Army. The pictures of Elvis and statues, if only could talk. A fan of Elvis for life. It was amazing to see where Elvis walked and stayed.
My high school history teacher, Izak Chessir, served in the same platoon as Elvis in Germany. He didn’t tell us too much to respect his privacy, but he said he was really nice and served his country well. He even brought us his original copy of the platoon photo (same one GIV showed) to show my class! My teacher was in the second row, below Elvis to the left. Seeing this video makes me understand more of what he shared with my class about his experience.
Cool.!
Oh wow! That is so cool. My dad was stationed on the same base that Elvis was stationed at. He said he saw Elvis at the base once, walking with his agent & others. Some of my dad's Army buddies, went up to Elvis & asked for autographs,/take pictures with Elvis. My dad said the same thing, that Elvis was nice. Elvis Signed autographs, took pictures. Can't believe it, my dad was 15-20 feet away from Elvis. I asked my dad why he didn't get an autograph. He said 1)he didn't want to bother Elvis(he said he could imagine how many people wanted to get Elvis attention , 2)he was not into his music. lol. My dad was a big band type fan. RIP Dad.
Thanks for the memory🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤❤
Its truely amazing to know how many people still care and love Elvis so much after all these years, he was amazing! The hotel looks huge! Your mum is adorable, have fun! Rock on!
My elderly father in-law is native-born German. He served in the US Army 4th Armored Division 1958-1960 near Schwabish Gmund, Banden Wurttenberg as an auto and tank mechanic. He was a Mercedes factory-trained mechanic and the best mechanic in the regiment. One day he was given a special assignment to make sure a Jeep was ready in tip-top shape. The next day, that Jeep was used to parade Elvis around in front of the troops. Says Elvis was very friendly and approachable.
I wish my dad was still alive and would ask him where he was stationed exactly & what unit he was with in Germany 1958-60-61. He was a truck driver. He was 15-20 feet away from Elvis, one day when Elvis was walking with his entourage. My dad said the same thing, that Elvis was friendly and approachable. My dad's Army buddies asked for Autographs & if they could take pictures with Elvis, and Elvis didn't turn them away. I asked my dad, why he never got an autograph or took a picture with Elvis...my dad said 1)he knew a lot of people wanted Elvis attention, but didn't want to bother him..2)he said his music was okay but was more of a big band music fan. RIP Dad.
I don't idolize anyone but I enjoy journeying with you and your mom.🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍
As a true Elvis fan, I can appreciate everything you are saying and feeling. Doing something that makes you happy is incredibly important. And to see your mums' smiling face is priceless.Enjoyed everything about both these videos and the GiV spin on it.
What a nice thing to do for your mother! I was born in Germany to a German woman and an American G.I. Dad offered to take mom to go see Elvis but she wasn’t a fan. My Oma was a big fan and I became a fan too. I wish mom just had gone to see Elvis and taken me. It would’ve been so cool to have a picture of me at age 2 with Elvis! What a treasure that would’ve been!
Aw, such a nice thing to watch today. I enjoyed every bit!!!
Thank you for taking us on this adventure with you! This was such a cool place to visit! I loved seeing the photos of where Elvis has been. Loved seeing your mom get to experience this, especially since she is a big Elvis fan!
Like I say “ love your mom.. she makes me feel happy”❤
Keeping Elvis alive. Excellent video, Mike.
You did a great job, Mike, showing us all those fantastic things about Elvis...👏

Mama G.I.V. is a beautiul woman,then and now!
Mike, that was an outstanding program, it was a lot of fun, very enjoyable, very cool.
And you got to sit on the king's throne. I’ve must say those pictures you showed of your mom, wow! she was absolutely beautiful, I really believe, if Elvis had met her, he would’ve fallen in love, big time. Your mom was prettier than Priscilla. She's still a beautiful woman. Keep up the great work.
thanks for the Elvis tour that most of us will never see in person. You ROCK, Mike!
Unbelievable. I Didn't even know that Elvis was stationed in Germany.
You're a very good son to your Mom. I'm sure she's very proud of you. Thanks for sharing!
Thank GIV FOR TAKING US ON THIS TOUR . You are a great narrator and story teller. This video is especially memorable for me as I was born in Germany around the same time Elvis was stationed there. Thanks again and keep up the good work!
Sehr gutes Video!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Der Vergleich mit den historischen Fotos ist wirklich toll! Danke
20 Jahre früher haben wir in den ray barracks noch Bowling gespielt
Viele Grüße aus meiner (Elvis -Heimat
I Love you german in Venice forever
we love you Mike, i know i keep saying this all the time, but you truely are a down to earth guy, many vloggers do not respond to their fans or subscribers because all they want is to get paid but dont care about subscribers, you have done so much for me and your subscribers, i appreciate everything you have done for me, even though im not in LA, we missed you on the MJ death anniversary, it wasnt the same without you, i love this Elvis video too, i wish i had my blue suade shoes on too lol, i hope your mum enjoyed ht eplace too
that's because a German friend is a friend for life :)
@@Design770 Right on 💪
Very nice writing...! 👍👍
thanks for great videos, keep them coming, and your mom Rocks it like Elvis
What a tremendously amazing video! At first, I thought you were facing and filming into the sun but, it was your beautiful Mama's million watt smile!!! I get it when you said you get a great feeling when you visit places where a famous person has stayed or lived. It is THEIR ESSENCE remaining that has permeated the walls and furniture. Super cool that you did comparisons of "then and now" with the photos! In the past, I have plunked down serious green to stay at noteworthy hotels and motels! I was glad I did and I feel you in doing the same thing!!! Loved the photos of your Mama from "just a few years ago"!!! Keep on Rocking and thank you for taking us along on your journey! God Bless and Peace Out! 👌👍✌✌
Elvis is more revered in Germany 🇩🇪 than the USA 🇺🇸, he made an impact. What a life he leaves, certainly had military privlege. Your Mom looks lovely for her young age, she is a real fan, Elvis would be proud. Everywhere he went, he caused a stir, everybody wanted to meet him. Thanks G.I.V. Auf Wiedersehen.🎥👀👄
I love this upload part 2. It was nice to see your mother enjoying herself.
Great video, I really enjoyed it. Elvis so revered in Germany. Lovely to see your mom enjoying time with you 😊. Thanks for this video!
How beautiful 😍❤♥.
The Villa Grunewald is very pretty, and I love Room No. 10. Yes, it is simple, but this were the times Germans of the upper class lived many decades ago. Mom is so happy, as you can see, this is another highlight of her life. I am glad, that you made all this happen for her, GiV. You are an amazing, caring son.
I hope, that this memories will live on forever, especially for future generations. Bad Nauheim is an iconic side for all Elvis fans. He was looking so handsome in his younger years, you could not ignore him. Thank you so much for the impressive vlog of EP.
Thank-You your video and photos are sooo nice.
So much fun following along on your adventures! Greetings from the UK!!
Sehr schön .... lg aus Heidelberg .... werde am sonntag nach bad Nauheim fahren ❤
Don't ever apologize for anything you do for the video, well within reason. I really appreciate that you speak in a normal respectful manner. Very commendable.
This video is especially good due to the content of Elvis and the sites he was at.
So happy for your mom getting to do this and her precious smile. She was a beautiful young lady.
Thank you GIV!
I lived very near Bad Nauheim in Bad Homburg. I was stationed in Frankfurt Hoechst.
I love going to all these amazing places with you and your mom! You were so cute when you were getting all excited about being on Elvis's toilet!! You and your mom will have great memories and the viewers get to see things they never would. I sent you some gas money because this is more expenses than your videos in Venice so I wanted to help even if I just get you some coffee to start your day. Thanks to you and your mom!😘
Unbelievable video, Mike! One of your best❤️keep up the good work in Germany, we love it! Your mom is precious.
Thank you for sharing this i was station there in 74
My friend as a little girl was in the Elvis' Graceland yard making snowballs and Elvis yelled out the door to tell her she shouldn't be in the yard, but she was fine and to keep playing. It's cool you have pictures of him making snowballs. Great tour!
My father was in high school with Elvis. It’s still amazing to see how he is known and loved the world over.
I absolutely love & adore your mother! She is so sweet and beautiful, and you can tell she raised a wonderful son!! 😊
Just so you know, I adore you too! Thank you for these wonderful videos in Germany…I loved every bit of them, especially the Elvis footage. Don’t feel crazy that you recorded Elvis stuff, there’s been tons of people who love to see where Elvis stayed. It makes you feel closer to him when you walked in his footsteps, or slept in the same bed….I’m jealous it wasn’t me!! 😃 You mentioned the Spa Guy from Memphis Tennessee in this video, and I’ve been a subscriber of his channel for a couple of years now, it’s a small world!
Tell your mother hello and much love for you both from Orlando, Florida!
Tina 😃
The shot where you matched the outside drain pipe to the photograph was awesome
I always wondered about Elvis in Germany beyond the stories we can read, this is really something else to see. I’d no idea you guys love him there like we do here in the states. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ so happy to see you w your mom, she is lovely!
Thank you for sharing that video it reminds me of when I was there in the mid 80. I remember walking through both of those gates.
Your mother is funny. You’ve done a great job on this Mike. I’ve always liked how you match up the pictures. Always look forward to your videos.
Good afternoon ❤ Good mood and good luck 💖👍
Dzięki, że są ludzie, którzy noszą Elvisa w sercu i go kochaja i pamiętają, wielkie dzięki!!¡❤❤❤❤
Bad Nauheim - my old hometown :-)
Awesome job.Greetings to mom from Serbia.
Fantastic
Thanks for this fascinating tour of the actual hotel room that Elvis stayed in. Also, the locations that he was pictured in the town. I am like you, if I can literally be in a room that someone famous in history occupied during their life it is a "special" experience and you try to "pick up" any vibes from the room. You imagine that you are looking at scenes that they looked at so many years ago. It's great that you were able to take your Mom on this adventure. Take care, say hi to your Mom and your buddies. Have a pleasant and rewarding weekend.
I enjoyed seeing where Elvis stayed in Germany. I was a fan of Elvis and have collected many things. The new movie Elvis that came out last Friday is a HIT again ELVIS lives! Enjoy you showing us around Germany. Your Mom is so beautiful.
We get it Mike! I hope you take mom to Venice for a visit! She's open minded & game for anything. I love that. You are blessed with a special mother! 🙏❤️🌹🙏🌷🙏💕
Loved it. Great informative video!!. For sure, you are picking up on the energy of these people because you have a strong, intuitive connection & love for them. Not everyone has these feeling but for the rest off us it is very emotional, we can almost feel their presence with us. Love the way your mum smiles along with you 😁 she is a great sport. ☺
Dude, I love it!!! It's the experience, the aura, feeling and sharing history
Well said .
You are a true inspiration GIV that one can make a living and support themselves from doing what they love!
groeten uit nederland van ries de mooij..
Thanks GIV. Enjoy your blogs!
Your mom is adorable! We are about the same age. I really enjoyed this tour and most of the photos were new to me. Elvis grew up dirt poor, so when he started earning money, he had amazing new luxuries. Even the hotel must have seemed like a palace to him. 😎
I lived in Bad Nauheim 7 years we'd walk from school to Elvis's home in the 70s early 80s
It’s called hallowed ground, gives me Elvis goose bumps. Cool stuff GIV ☮️
So cool and historic GiV . Thanks a bunch for uploading this .
Way to go mom !! Following the footsteps of the king .
with the original picture you put in the video its awesome....Histery. love it
Thanks!
Loved it 🥰
Y'all are so blessed to have been there. ..I'm glad y'all had a wonderful time..stay safe and healthy
Awesome, l really enjoyed it, thanks!!
That was fantastic really good thank you for sharing 👍👍👍
Amen MOM.. gotta admit Mom Elvis was a beautiful man and Mom was beautiful too..yeah he would have definatly noticed her!
Another great foto match up. Thanks for the tour. 🙏
Hi my friend wanted to say hi to you and your mom hello
My husband and I watched this episode last night it was so amazing , you did a great job on this, your mom is absolutely beautiful and her happiness is palpable, we absolutely love your videos in Germany!!! So much fun!!
With love, from central coast California😘💪🇺🇸
Really enjoyed this one even though I am not a Elvis fan. Very surprised to see how Germany still remembers Elvis and pays tribute. So glad to see how your mom enjoyed the trip! Thank you we watched it twice!
I totally get the feelings you have when you visit, I actually have I think the same feelings my wife don't understand. But it's almost I felt I was there with him. I get those feelings Revisting sites from history. Enjoy all your videos!! Keep them up.
Good job GIV! This brought back memories. I have special connections to Friedberg & Bad Nauheim. It broke my heart to see Ray Barracks so run down since it was turned into a refugee center. Horrible. Listen, I am a videographer, if you ever need a shooter in the DC & Virginia area, hit me up!!
Shout out to all who were stationed in Giessen, Kirch Goens, Butzbach, Friedberg & Frankfurt!!
Such a good son
Oh and your mom was and is a very pretty lady! God bless you both!
Thanks for the awesome footage, you’re awesome!
It is so nice seeing Germany with your mom, thanks.
Absolutely loved this video! Your mom was and still is a very beautiful woman. I love seeing her smile.
Amazing video...and I think your mom would have been successful with Elvis,,,she was beautiful!!
Thanks Mike GIV! Nice of letting your mother come along on your trip she's a very happy lady. It made her day to stay in the kings room.
His Mum look Good/ young. Mike only got Daddys genes? ;)
It’s just so great seeing you so happy with your mom. Love it! You are are good man Mike! 👍😎
Guten Morgen 🌞
Very good presentation ❤️ Love from INDIA
I love the towel warming rack at the bathtub!!
Mike, you did an Outstanding, Excellent, and Awesome Job on these two videos of Elvis's time in Germany!! Having the photos from his past was really neat!! Love your Mom!!! Seeing her so happy on this trip, must of made you feel so great that you had the chance to take her there!!! All your videos are the best!! Keep on doing!!! Love ya!!!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼
People really respected Elvis because he performed his military duty for the country that made him famous. He was more popular than ever when he returned Mike!
No matter what the cost is you can’t put a price on making memories with your mom. Keep up the great videos. Love this channel.
Makes me feel good that you enjoy what you're doing! Keep up the good work. Your mom is cool too.
Your mom is so sweet, she’s a very pretty lady now and then. I’m so pleased you are having this time with her. You make awesome videos to.
I like the pic of your mom... also the Elvis history tour!
*THX GIV*👍👍👍👍👍
great tour ! , that hotel is amazing its like a museum and time capsule , its great the kept everything the same , its like Elvis is still checking in now and then
Made My Day...Thanks
Incredible tour! Thank you so much for it. Your videos come from the heart and that’s what makes them good. I appreciate your passion and enthusiasm for what you like. My mom was a big Elvis fan. She said he was considered scandalous because of the way he moved when performing but she didn’t care.
Another great Vlog Mike well done just brilliant, you have a great way of putting it across to us you really do , great job. So much I have learnt about Elvis, thank you.
Best wishes to you and your mom
Take care.
I'd love to see Elvis' home in Germany. My entire line of ancestors are from Germany. One lineage from The Schleswig Holstein region & the other an island in the North Sea region I think. I became a widow at 47 two yrs ago so now a trip to see where my ancestors lived in Germany has been put on my future bucket list. I go to California every summer so I have to forego that 1 year as I can't afford both places in the same year. Wish I could find a widow or singles travel group to go with me or I could join.
I'm not particularly into Elvis but this is very cool to watch. Thank you for taking us with you!
Good for you! Doing the things that bring you joy. I'm especially happy that you aren't embarrassed to share your feelings and emotions with your viewers. You can inspire others to do the same, and there's no greater expression of love than honoring your mother, spending time sharing, and making her proud. You are a good guy, GiV! Keep that smile on your face, and Keep on Truckin!
You are doing something Manny dream about . Making you mom smile. G.I.V time doesn't allow this for some . You make me proud . You are a good son . And your mom is just as beautiful today .
