by over us proceed swiftly took the world by storm and still captivates fans today what's behind this everlasting fascination with the keep. growing up in cleveland ohio near the rock n roll hall of fame and i've heard elvis was the king of rock n roll since the time i was a kid but i didn't know he lived in germany and in fact i didn't know he lived in this tiny german town which now hosts the european elvis possible each year drawing fans from all over the world had to find out what it was all about. in one nine hundred fifty eight at the height of his musical career elvis presley was drafted into the u.s. army and stationed in freetown you're frankfurt west germany the nearby town of bad now high became his home for a year and a half it's an experience the town and his neighbors haven't forgotten see the descendants of those very neighbors invite the rest of the world to their home for the seventeenth european elvis bastable let's see if they can keep the spirit of elvis and rock'n'roll. the festival is full of the king spirit everywhere you turn

there are nine hundred fifty s. cars fashion and music with plenty of dancing owned speier by the king of rock n roll. so why are people still loyal to elvis after all these years. pete rock n roll is great you can get dressed up and dance that's fun. all over oh rouche great man great singer great entertainer. for the looking from there you go she makes my also wasn't what i really like is that his music is so important to the people here that's wonderful because it keeps him alive but. most of the musicians are not elvis impersonators but they do count him as a major inspiration like the silver rockets from the netherlands. inglese. and or. winner darlene love who once

shared the stage with elvis himself. it sounds. all this actually leads up to the elvis party. but first we need to practice if you dance moves. the least. hello are you put a story to get we saw you dancing and really loved it and we were hoping that you wouldn't mind teaching us a little bit of her crazy thank you and we thought ok we're through it but that was the estimate and nico has been boogie woogie dancing for nine years so they've got the moves boogie woogie is based on the triple step. you can get. into. the truck well it's easy but i don't know if it'll be so easy for me and so. it is.

it the people. think it's a load of great thank you so much for the last minute there was no merry listeners very and it wasn't as easy as you made it look but i think we tried today and so and we had a lot of fun doing it so thank you thank you so much for. the party is hopping and we're ready to let the music take control and trucks and dance moves of our own. to. keep it's the second day of the festival and elvis fans are back at it for more fun. this car is a lot like the king's famous pink cadillac he was known to stop his car in traffic to sign autographs earning him the name of the traffic obstacle. and it's not the only time elvis caused a stir here hotel manager tom must lucius. as the king and his entourage were kicked out of this room at the hotel.

the main reason was that a. newspaper blow them off when it smoked they put it down on the other door and thought it was funny when the old lady is around all day and knows it's was burning here for the hotel owner said it's sorry but now it's enough. fans can stay in the perfectly preserved room for about one hundred fifty euros a night. normally the overs friend is very friendly happy funny from crying yesterday we had a woman that kissed the bat really. the room is designed to accommodate vanity which all this was also known for it seems like the king really needed a lot of years to fix his hair because there are about six mirrors in the store and we counted. nearly every spot in bad now haim holds memories

of elvis visitors can follow in his footsteps on a tour led by a local expert one stop is at its house a goodish toss a fourteen where he met the love of his life for sending an apology they later married and had a child together. back in the center of town the party rages on with no sign of slowing down. but now i make technically a lot of men over think things are going to break but what i actually found was that the residents here are really proud of elvis this time so it makes for the perfect match for anything anyone thinking of that rock n roll spirit that helping a lot. all right moving on now to
