“If Elvis won’t come to us, we’ll go to Elvis!”
That was the motto of a group of devoted Dutch fans who, in the 1970s, crossed the ocean to see their idol in person. They travelled to Las Vegas, Memphis and Graceland, experiencing the magic of Elvis Presley up close.
Their stories, photos and memories are now beautifully captured in this richly illustrated book: Elvis, We Were There!

Step back in time to the golden era of Elvis during the 1970s.
From the glittering energy of Las Vegas shows, to Graceland before it became a museum, this book captures Elvis as his fans truly saw him.

Featuring more than 400 never-before-seen travel photos, over 150 original documents and personal letters, and 70 rare images of Elvis’s final concerts, this book is a heartfelt tribute to The King – and to the fans who loved him.
