When Planning To Attend An Elvis Tribute San Francisco Is An Ideal Location

By Sally Delacruz


Any Elvis Presley fan can look for and find ways to remember him. His voice and person were beautiful when he was living. Memories are not as poignant as the real man. However, for people who want an elvis tribute san francisco, california has much to offer.

San Francisco, CA is a magnet for tourists. See the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge. Visit Fishermans Wharf. Take a ride on one of the charming trolley cars that travel up and down the hilly streets.

His life began in Tupelo, Mississippi. He and his parents lived there until he had his thirteenth birthday. They relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, where Graceland now stands.

Graceland stands as an accolade to Elvis. He bought it for his mother Gladys and resided there until his untimely death. Gold records cover the walls and rooms are all decorated to suit his taste in furnishings.

The mansion draws millions of visitors each year. On the anniversary of the day he died, there is a long line of fans who wait at the gate. They each carry a lit candle as they walk up the path and past his grave.

Conversation is done in whispers. There is sobbing and tears as they file past his final resting place. No one is rude or boisterous.

Daughters learn to love the music from their mothers. Grandmothers pass it on to their grandchildren. Not only women, but, men file past to remember him.

Fans in all age groups travel from all over to attend shows in San Francisco, CA. They see one or more of the hundred and three impersonators. Some of these impersonators are incredible and make a living at what they do.

They dance, gyrate their hips and sing up on the stages. Imitations of his voice and accent help fans remember. It is never the same, but they can listen and allow memories to do the rest.

Each of these shows brings the wonderful memories of the King to the stage. The top impersonators are very talented. Some entertain at parties for children or adults. They also work delivering singing telegrams, wearing jump suits.

Born as one of two twin boys, his brother was stillborn. Imagine two such talented singers and how they would impact the music world. He always felt the loss of his twin.

At the time of his death, on August 16, 1977, he was only forty-two years of age. Fans still speculate about how his passing changed the music world. He is missed.

All over the world, people gather to honor him with parties, stage shows and dances. This time surrounding his day of death are called Elvis Week, as if a day was not enough. As always, the Bay area will be host to many such events.

The Memphis Mafia was the nickname given to high school buddies who stayed with the King over the years to work for him. They now give one man show presentations talking about their years with Elvis. His backup band still performs too.

He will be remembered into the far distant future. Profits are donated to charities from some of the stage shows. Fans say they can still close their eyes and see him singing their favorite song.
