Sheikh Elvis Presley | Goethestrasse 14, Bad Nauheim, Germany
Home - Elvis Presley Photos
On October 11, 1958 the Presley clan had to move from Hilberts Parkhotel to the neighbourly Grunewald Hotel because King Ibn Saud and his entourage, including 30 harum girls and his guards (with sabres) checked in to all rooms of an entire floor at the 'Hilberts'. At the beginning of February 1959 Elvis moved to 14 Goethestrasse with his dad, his grandmother, 2 bodyguards and his secretary. The 13th son of King Ibn Saud visited Elvis and gave him a royal Arabic caftan and a tea service with the royal coat of arms as a present.
Below we can see Elvis imitating the King.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
