    Today I had the rare opportunity to climb up to the worlds famous knickerbocker hotel rooftop in Hollywood Many celebrities stayed in this hotel from Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Jerry Lee Lewis, Marilyn Monroe, and many more I matched up pictures on the rooftop where Elvis had a photo shoot in 1956. I also show you their location where Harry Houdini’s wife tried to contact him in a séance I show you the apartments with Stan, Laura, Oliver Hardy, state Elvis Presley and his manager Colonel Tom Parker. This was an awesome experience.

    GIV I bet your mom is jealous that you got to walk outside the room that Elvis walked. I remember the great video you did in Germany where your mom slept in the room where Elvis stayed while he was in the army. It’s so cool when you match up the photos. I think Elvis should have kept his shirt on😕

    I love your videos their so personally and meaningfull when you talk about "ELVIS " that II know exactly how you feel . It's so special that you make me feel like I'm right their with you. Even in the time that the pictures you show of "ELVIS " it truly is wonderful listening to you tell the history of all the place he's been. I know how I feel watching but I can't even imagine how you must feel being so lucky to do that. I truly appericate what you do for us fans. So please keep doing it as long as you can just like they told "ELVIS " at the "OVER LOOK PARK" IN MEMPHIS in 1954 keep shacking your legs they love it and he did "GOD BLESS YOU FOR KEEPING "ELVIS" ALIVE !!!!! 💙⚡️👍🙏

    Was given a tour of the Capitol Records Building by the Studio Manager, (Paula S.) & Her Assistant, also from Montreal. The building is amazing, on the 5th floor were several SonicSolutions Mastering Stations, people were busy going about there day on every floor. Great Memory, late 1994 (Worked @ Conway Studios & Paramount Recording)

    I'm just like you GIV. I'm 67 years old and I've been this way since I was a kid. I get excited about being in locations such as the Knickerbocker. Went to Hollywood a few years ago and I had a blast doing the kind of things you're doing now. Used to live out there when I was a little boy so it was great to go back. Not everyone gets how we are, they say "why would you get excited over something like that? " Or, a person told me recently "those people like Marilyn Monroe and Elvis were just human beings just like us and there was nothing special about them."
    They may have been human beings but they definitely weren't just like us.

      @@robertrocca6595 No, I am the same too. And when you live in LA yes, celebs are all over the place and you see them everywhere. But a major difference for the older celebs that are no longer here. They've become icons and yes, they're just like us but then they are not. We all have to have some good addictions in life that isn't harmful. And what the GIV shows us and his excitement & enthusiasm is contagious.

You’re young and probably wouldn’t understand, but that time in Hollywood was awesome, stress free and just a wonderful place in which to grow up. Hope your Mom is doing ok.

    Amazing video! The big sign atop the Knickerbocker was altered slightly when it was converted to apartments, the portion on top has 5 letter blocks, as it used to say "HOTEL KNICKERBOCKER". The 'O' and 'L' were removed and the 'H', 'T', and 'E' were repositioned to read "THE". I lived in one of the buildings you see in the background 30 years ago. Miss it greatly!
