John Lennon once said that “It was Elvis who really got me buying records". Before "The King" there was nothing musically interesting according to Lennon.
From 5th October 2011 (and for two years!!!) at The Beatles Story, Pier Head, Liverpool, UK, a new exhibition entitled "Elvis and Us" will take place. It is obviously focused on the relationship between Elvis Presley and The Beatles and it promises to be a must for all music lovers; as the exhibition's website states it will be "a multimedia, interactive experience filled with music, video and artifacts of both Elvis and The Beatles. This unique, first-of-its-kind exhibition will allow visitors to experience the power of both Elvis and The Beatles, along with their explosive impact on music and popular culture."
"Elvis and Us" is built around two main elements: the evening of August 27, 1965, when The Beatles met Elvis in person at his home in Bel Air, California and the white Fender bass guitar played by Elvis and The Beatles at their meeting.
2 years is quite a date range for everyone of us to plan a visit to Liverpool, don't you think rock'n'roll lovers?
