Question

was it his last concert.

Answer 1

G'day Christianman,

Thank you for your question.

Elvis has left the building was first used in December 15, 1956 by a promoter Horace Lee Logan. Logan wanted the people at the concert to see the other acts on the bill rather than chasing after Elvis. It became a common phrase at the end of the concert even though there were no other acts left.

Jerry Glanville of the Houston Oilers used the phrase when the Oilers had sewn up a match against an opponent. It has become a catchphrase.

I have attached sources for your reference.

Regards

Answer 2

It was originally used by promoter Horace Lee Logan on December 15, 1956, to plead with concertgoers not to leave a concert hall to try to see Elvis as he left, and instead remain to see the other acts on the bill. The full quotation was "Please, young people... Elvis has left the building. He has gotten in his car and driven away.... Please take your seats." Former Houston Oilers coach Jerry Glanville popularized it in the early 80's (to refer to his team's imminent victory over its opponents).
