https://webshop.elvismatters.com/en/elv ... erbij.html
Elvis, We Were There!
€ 39,95 Incl. tax
Hardcover book in Dutch language
Pre-order. If you order this product along with other items that are in stock, your order will only ship once everything is available.
Attention : this book is in Dutch language!
In the 1970s, Dutch fans traveled to Las Vegas, Memphis, and Graceland to see Elvis. Their motto: "If Elvis doesn't come to us, we'll go to Elvis." Their stories, photos, and memories are now collected in this richly illustrated book.
A musical time capsule for every enthusiast.
This book contains over 400 previously unpublished travel photos, over 150 original documents and personal letters, and 70 rare photos of Elvis's very last two concerts. Everything was captured by the Dutch fans themselves, supplemented with personal stories, anecdotes, and memories.
Elvis, We Were There! takes you to Las Vegas, Memphis, Nashville, and Tupelo in the 1970s. You'll visit Graceland before it became a museum and experience Las Vegas at the time when Elvis was breaking records there night after night. The story begins in 1973, at the height of Elvis's career, and ends in 1977, when some of these fans witnessed his final concerts.
This book, compiled by Erik van den Berg, is an impressive collection of images, emotions, and memories. For fans, about fans, by a fan. An absolute must-have for every Elvis fan.
About the author:
Erik van den Berg was born one year after Elvis Presley's death. Besides his family, Elvis is the central theme in Erik's life; since 1992, he has supported various projects related to the King. This book is his biggest dream and the first project entirely written by him. He expresses his Elvis fandom with love and joy; he hopes readers enjoy the book as much as he did creating it.
Exclusive offer from ElvisMatters:
Everyone who pre-ordered the new book "Elvis, We Were There!" from ShopElvisMatters will receive a special gift: the exclusive DVD We're From Europe And Going To See Elvis.
This DVD is available exclusively through ShopElvisMatters and will not be released separately. A true collector's item for every Elvis fan.
The 36-minute mini-documentary features never-before-seen 8mm footage of a group of European fans who traveled to America in the summer of 1973 to see Elvis perform live in Las Vegas. The film features unique, private footage from Memphis and Vegas, offering a rare glimpse into how these fans lived their dream—in color, full of emotion, and straight from the 1970s.
The DVD perfectly complements Erik van den Berg's book, which recounts the adventures of these fans and is richly filled with photos, letters, and documents from the same period.
Order your copy of "Elvis, We Were There!" today at ShopElvisMatters.com and receive this unique DVD as a gift along with the book.

Elvis 19 times in the Evergreen Top 1000 of NPO Radio 5
The complete Evergreen Top 1000 of 2025 was announced today, and Elvis Presley is once again well represented this year. With 19 entries, the King of Rock 'n' Roll remains one of the most beloved artists in this annual list of timeless classics.
The highest position for Elvis this year is My Boy, which rises to number 47 — an impressive jump of 24 positions. Suspicious Minds also holds steady at number 55, as does In The Ghetto, which finishes slightly lower than last year at number 88.
There are two new entries for Elvis in the list this year:
- (You're) The Devil in Disguise at number 709
- Such a Night at number 770.
The biggest climber is Crying in the Chapel, which climbs an impressive 500 positions to number 468. The biggest losers are Love Me Tender (-445) and The Wonder of You (-319), both of which have dropped considerably compared to 2024.
Other notable positions are:
- Can't Help Falling in Love – #265
- It's Now or Never – #266
- Are You Lonesome Tonight – #408
- Always On My Mind – #94
- An American Trilogy (Live) – #367
- If I Can Dream – #199
Despite some drops, Elvis remains a fixture in the Evergreen Top 1000 almost fifty years after his death, with an unparalleled mix of ballads, gospels and rock classics that continue to touch generation after generation.
The Evergreen Top 1000 can be heard on NPO Radio 5 from 24 to 28 November 2025.

Voting for the NPO Radio 2 Top 2000 has started again
The time has come: the polls for the NPO Radio 2 Top 2000 have opened. It's a moment music lovers look forward to every year, and for Elvis fans, it's the perfect opportunity to ensure the King of Rock 'n' Roll once again takes center stage.
Last year, Elvis appeared in the Top 2000 an impressive 17 times, impressive proof that his music, even decades after his passing, has lost none of its power, emotion, and relevance. From timeless classics like Suspicious Minds and Always On My Mind to gems like My Boy and In The Ghetto, audiences continue to appreciate Elvis year after year.
Yet, there's always room for the King to climb even higher. Traditionally, Suspicious Minds is his highest-ranking song, but how great would it be if we could push Elvis even higher this year? With enough votes, we can ensure his songs remain strongly represented, and perhaps even achieve more chart-toppers than last year.
Voting is quick, easy, and completely customizable. It's also the best way to keep Elvis's musical legacy alive for future generations. The more fans submit their favorites, the stronger his presence on the list.
Let's work together to make sure Elvis shines again in the Top 2000.
Vote, share, and mobilize your fellow fans so the King gets what he deserves: a place of honor on the Netherlands' most beautiful list.

Hidden Minds spotlights ELVIS, we were there!
The popular YouTube channel Hidden Minds has released a new episode that focuses extensively on Erik van den Berg's book "ELVIS, WE WERE THERE!". In this episode, host René Slaats takes viewers on a journey through the remarkable story of Dutch and Belgian Elvis fans who crossed over to the United States in the 1970s to see Elvis Presley perform live.
The video is explicitly inspired by the book and features rare footage from fans' private collections. With Erik van den Berg's permission, unique photos were used, many of which have never before been publicly seen. This gives the story not only historical depth but also a deeply personal touch.
The episode focuses on the dedication and determination of European fans in an era before the internet, cheap flights, or social media. Their motto was simple yet powerful: if Elvis doesn't come to us, we'll go to Elvis. These journeys, captured on 8mm film and photos, now constitute an indispensable document of Elvis's final active concert years.
At the end of the video, Hidden Minds also features the book itself and the exclusive accompanying DVD. This DVD contains never-before-seen 8mm footage of European fans during their trips to Las Vegas, Memphis, and Graceland—a unique historical document available only through ShopElvisMatters.
The new episode of Hidden Minds is now available on YouTube.

Author Erik van den Berg guest on NPO Radio
Interest in the new book "ELVIS, WE WERE THERE!" by author Erik van den Berg remains high. Last week, Erik was a guest on both NPO Radio 1 and NPO Radio 5, where he spoke extensively about the book's origins and the remarkable stories it contains.
On NPO Radio 1, Erik appeared on the program "Villa VdB," where he discussed the unique fan history central to the book: Dutch and Belgian fans who went above and beyond to see Elvis live in the United States in the 1970s. A remarkable fact was that Erik was accompanied on this broadcast by Hennie Hannaard, who herself attended Elvis performances in the 1970s. Her personal memories of that time form an important and moving part of the book. "
ELVIS, WE WERE THERE!" also received considerable attention on NPO Radio 5. In an extensive interview, Erik discussed the book's creation, his encounters with fans, and the importance of preserving these stories while we still can. The conversations underscore how vibrant and valuable these fan experiences are, not only for Elvis fans, but also as a cultural document of the times.
Missed these radio broadcasts? No problem, you can listen to them below.
Haven't ordered the book "ELVIS, WE WERE THERE!" yet? Then now's the time. With your order, you'll receive a limited-time, exclusive DVD with unique footage filmed by fans during their trips to America in the 1970s. Footage as they captured it themselves—pure, personal, and historically valuable.
A book full of memories, stories, and passion that brings Elvis closer than ever.

Re: For Dutch Elvis Fans topic!
My wife preordered the book at Elvis Matters as a Xmas gift . There was no dvd only the book. Nice business, I hope they make their words true and send it so. She even got a mail before with the mentioning of the dvd . Strange though.

Beste Elvis-fan,
Allereerst: dank je wel voor je bestelling van het boek Elvis, wij waren erbij! via ShopElvisMatters. Fantastisch dat jij dit bijzondere boek aan je collectie toevoegt. We zijn enorm trots op deze uitgave van Erik van den Berg, ElvisMatters lid en vaste medewerker aan het magazine ELVIS .
Zoals aangekondigd ontvangen kopers van het boek bij ShopElvisMatters exclusief een bijzondere dvd met unieke beelden: We’re From Europe And Going To See Elvis. Een prachtig extraatje dat deze uitgave nóg specialer maakt.
Tijdens het productieproces van deze dvd is echter een fout ontdekt in de master. Om de kwaliteit te kunnen garanderen die wij en jij als Elvis-fan mogen verwachten, is besloten de dvd opnieuw te laten persen. Helaas lopen deze werkzaamheden vertraging op door de eindejaarsdrukte bij de perserijen, waardoor deze op dit moment nog geen exacte leverdatum kunnen afgeven. De perserij stelt alles in het werk om dit zo snel mogelijk voor ons op te lossen.
Om te voorkomen dat jij langer moet wachten op het boek zelf, hebben we besloten het boek nu alvast naar je te verzenden.
De dvd houd je van ons te goed en zal zo spoedig mogelijk afzonderlijk worden nagezonden, zodra deze gereed is.
We hopen op je begrip voor deze situatie en beloven je dat de dvd er zo snel mogelijk aankomt. Het wachten wordt beloond met een exclusief verzamelobject dat absoluut de moeite waard is.
Nogmaals dank voor je vertrouwen in ShopElvisMatters en veel leesplezier met Elvis, wij waren erbij!
Heb je in de tussentijd vragen, dan staan we uiteraard voor je klaar.
Met vriendelijke groet,
Team ShopElvisMatters

"Dear Elvis fan,
First of all: thank you for ordering the book Elvis, We Were There! via ShopElvisMatters. It's fantastic that you are adding this special book to your collection. We are extremely proud of this publication by Erik van den Berg, ElvisMatters member and regular contributor to the ELVIS magazine.
As announced, buyers of the book through ShopElvisMatters exclusively receive a special DVD with unique footage: We're From Europe And Going To See Elvis. A wonderful extra that makes this edition even more special.
However, during the production process of this DVD, an error was discovered in the master. To guarantee the quality that we and you, as an Elvis fan, expect, it has been decided to have the DVD pressed again. Unfortunately, this work is being delayed due to the end-of-year rush at the pressing plants, which means they cannot yet provide an exact delivery date. The pressing plant is doing everything it can to resolve this for us as quickly as possible.
To prevent you from having to wait longer for the book itself, we have decided to send the book to you now.
The DVD will be sent to you separately as soon as it is ready.
We hope for your understanding in this situation and promise you that the DVD will arrive as soon as possible. The wait will be rewarded with an exclusive collector's item that is absolutely worthwhile.
Thank you again for your trust in ShopElvisMatters and enjoy reading Elvis, We Were There!
If you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
Team ShopElvisMatters"
