I saw Elvis at the coliseum in 1976. I was 14 years old. A funny story. Partway through the act my mother told me to go up front to the stage and get a scarf for her. As I approached the stage Elvis removed one of the scarves. I heard a commotion behind me. As I said, I was 14. I turned to see hundreds of women rushing towards my direction. Never was I more frightened out of my mind. I quickly retreated.
What a great historical venue. Sadly as on par for America today, it will be torn down and it’s musical legacy lost to all but the great souls who took time from their lives to document it. Thanks Billy and Trey!
Not that far from were I live but never been their a shame history is being torn down. Except Elvis will live on no matter what building is torn down. Keep up Great work. ❤🇺🇸
I lived in South Richmond growing up.I hate it that they are going to tear down the coliseum but I do believe all the other places are protected because they are old and historic like Broad street station is a children's now and Elvis came in on the train there.The mosque is historic and actually still holds shows there but just a name change.The hotel is still there also.The coliseum is not protected because it was built late sixties and I think opened in 1970

Love the views of the Coliseum from the drone. Such a shame another historic building is being torn down. Thank you Billy and Trey for showing us a piece of Elvis history.
Im from South Africa ..I gotta say this Elvis sure is happy how you guys keep his memory alive..then again when it comes to Elvis its all part of Gods plan n purpose to keep his memory alive..thanks guys
I love the video's at night, you leave no stone unturned. It look's like a step back in time really, probably how it looked when Elvis was there. You timed it just right too since they were getting ready to do a demolition. Thank you for your good work Billy. You alway's do Elvis proud, it's almost like you can imagine Elvis actually being there.
The Richmond Virginia Concert from 72 were fantastic got it on a few bootleg cds of that show, Shame they are going to get rid of it. Another piece of Elvis History going to Dust. Thanks for the Video.
I agree - I recently remastered it if you'd like a clearer version of it. I don't know why every other version out there is muddy as all get out - you can hear from mine that there was plenty of high end recorded...in fact, cleaned up, it's one of the best sounding 1972 shows out there: th-cam.com/video/vtCidDEf6fE/w-d-xo.html
Great story and detective work guys! You ever get a chance check out the Daniel Boone hotel Elvis stayed in 75' and 76' Charleston WV near my hometown. It's still there! Keep on TCB'n ⚡👍
Wouw the Colloseum is huge❤ such big tunnels, strange to think Elvis went to so many places, he was driving all accross the America, yet he is so famous for his Las Vegas shows but he toured.
I was at this concert and saw Elvis, someone had predicted the the Colosseum would cave in and that was all I could think about but it didn't happen thank God!
Nice to get an ariel view of the coliseum - such a shame its going to be torn down.... such a shame....almost you both got to video it😃 thanks Spaguy n Trey 👍🙏
Thanks for sharing from John Marshall Hotel and Richmond Coliseum Billy and Trey. Sadly to hear that this beautiful dome has been set to be torn down !⚡
I don`t understand it... Why would they destroy such a beautiful building, which in addition carries so much history??? Great video. Thank you, Billy :)
Can you please do a video about the time Jerry Lee Lewis was arrested outside Graceland, suspected with the intent to kill Elvis? That would be amazing to get the full story!
Great job Spa Guy and Trey. When u said residence I didn't think apts or condos I thought 1 person residence and couldnt imagine who would need something that big. Not even a big headed governor...lol🤣
Hey billy u need to do one at Fayetteville crown Elvis play there in 76 my mom an aunts where there said it was amazing there r planning to take it down next year😂 love y’all’s videos Lumbee here thanks brother
Hey Dennis, have you checked out the “Elvis Back on Tour” channel on TH-cam? Just saw they had a video of Fayetteville. Thought you might be interested. TCB⚡️
Since I currently live in Virginia I am interested in this story. Since I was born and raised in St Louis I am more interested in what he did in St Louis. Spa Guy Trey missed your comment that he is smarter than he looks. . I laughed my butt off well alittle of it off at that.
Still cannot find a UHAUL to rent here in CA. People are leaving certain cities in droves. Our wonderful Governor was gonna start charging people who moved out of CA. Isn't that lovely?
So sad as a resident. Unfortunately Richmond is proud of crime the Mayor closed it a few years ago. He also promoted protesters to act like fools during 2020
Another great video SG. I have to say though, I do find it a bit annoying when I see that Elvis played venues like this time after time, after time, yet couldn't find it to come here to the UK to perform for his loyal British fans who, btw, helped make him a very wealthy man from spending their hard earned cash on his records and going to see his movies. I know all the stories about the Colonel being an illegal allegedly, but I feel if Elvis REALLY wanted to perform overseas, he could have. Sorry, rant over.
It is the same people who complain Elvis never went overseas that say Elvis was overworked.. Why would he leave sold out shows and travel further? It made no sense the costs of doing that would have been outrageous and the Colonel not having a passport thing is BS.. He was planning to go but sadly passed away before he could.. He had Lamar actively looking for a plane to make the jump..
@@SpaGuy Elvis being overworked and not travelling overseas are two completely separate issues. You say "Why would he leave sold out shows and travel further?" Really? Why do other major artists go on World tours? so their loyal fans get a chance to see them perform live. Elvis would have sold out across the globe. Everybody knows he was bored of playing Vegas by '76 He should have been playing the UK, Germany, Japan etc. You also say "the cost" Hmm.. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Thanks for the reply.

Cool Story!! I'm jealous I never got to see him..
We saw Elvis in 76 there it was my one and only time seeing him live. And I remember it like it was yesterday
😍

WOW! That place is giant! So exciting to see what Elvis would have seen. I love the glory footage. Thank you Mr Spa Guy
Thanks Billy and Trey for trying to get some good video the Coliseum.
I go to college in Richmond and one of my bucket list things to do in Richmond is to get into the colosseum as a huge Elvis fan
Great story and detective work guys! You ever get a chance check out the Daniel Boone hotel Elvis stayed in 75' and 76' Charleston WV near my hometown. It's still there! Keep on TCB'n ⚡👍
Awesome I been to shows there before don't live far from here spa guy is awsome

Do a video of his visits to Tulsa,ORU Maybee Center,Tulsa Convention Center,and the Fairgrounds
You never disappoint.
O Coliseo é belíssimo.
O Elvis fazendo um show aí deveria ser de arrepiar...
Obrigada Billy .
Como siempre, fantástico 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 y gracias de nuevo por los subtitulos 😊
Very cool 👍🏻😎
Nice to get an ariel view of the coliseum - such a shame its going to be torn down.... such a shame....almost you both got to video it😃 thanks Spaguy n Trey 👍🙏
I used to live on 9th street I think all the acts that came there parked in the back. I've been all over that Coliseum.
Thanks for sharing from John Marshall Hotel and Richmond Coliseum Billy and Trey. Sadly to hear that this beautiful dome has been set to be torn down !⚡
Pozdrav od Makedonia.
You should come to Savannah ga. Elvis played here in the 50's and 70's both venues are still standing.
It's an awesome building, architecturally.......so sad to see another American building destroyed. 😔
At the ramp was the box office where tickets were sold
I don`t understand it... Why would they destroy such a beautiful building, which in addition carries so much history???
Great video. Thank you, Billy :)
Wish they would preserve old buildings they are so beautiful such a shame for all history
It still looks really good on the outside at least. It's a shame it isn't being used.
I was born there. Live in Memphis now. Lots of Elvis history in Richmond
Spa Guy 👍
Can you please do a video about the time Jerry Lee Lewis was arrested outside Graceland, suspected with the intent to kill Elvis? That would be amazing to get the full story!
Very sad that the hotel won't be there anymore. A legacy would be lost.
My mom was Vice President of the local Elvis fan club she could have told you some stories about the king coming to our town
Cool looking coliseum. Looks like an UFO landed in Richmond. Such a cool looking building to tear down..
Why aren’t they using those big places like that anymore Billy and Trey?
Qué lindo video muy agradecida de Argentina besos
Great job Spa Guy and Trey. When u said residence I didn't think apts or condos I thought 1 person residence and couldnt imagine who would need something that big. Not even a big headed governor...lol🤣
Hey billy u need to do one at Fayetteville crown Elvis play there in 76 my mom an aunts where there said it was amazing there r planning to take it down next year😂 love y’all’s videos Lumbee here thanks brother
Hey Dennis, have you checked out the “Elvis Back on Tour” channel on TH-cam? Just saw they had a video of Fayetteville. Thought you might be interested. TCB⚡️
Just saw it thanks enjoy that
When Elvis played there it was called the Richmond Mosque I believe.
That was a different place.. That will be in an upcoming video.. The Mosque Theatre..
Since I currently live in Virginia I am interested in this story. Since I was born and raised in St Louis I am more interested in what he did in St Louis. Spa Guy Trey missed your comment that he is smarter than he looks. . I laughed my butt off well alittle of it off at that.
Billy thst looks like a tunnel you see them leaving out of in one if the videos if Elvis. Thry honk the horn leaving the tunnel. Is that it maybe?
Usually you have a lower level to every arena.
Still cannot find a UHAUL to rent here in CA. People are leaving certain cities in droves. Our wonderful Governor was gonna start charging people who moved out of CA. Isn't that lovely?

How about Mosque teather?
Stay Tuned!!
I work next door and the coliseum is in bad shape.
