but that was a 50/50 shot on the last one
Elvis never played a concert outside the US/Hawaii, he only visited the UK while flying to Germany for his Army years, he then only stopped in Scotland for refueling.....
the reason he never toured outside US was because Tom Parker was apparently an 'illegal alien' in the US, thus if he left the US he would not have been allowed to re-enter your borders....thus, Elvis' never toured as Parker would have had to have gone with him.
