Elvis & The Beatles:
Common Concert Venues
During their respective
careers, Elvis Presley and The Beatles performed at 15
common venues.
Surprisingly,
11 of those venues are still in existence.
Only the Mid-South Coliseum in Elvis’
hometown of
Memphis
is currently not in operations. The average age of the 11
remaining structures is 69 years old.
So much for the argument about the
Mid-South Coliseum being too old and out of date.
