See See Rider opening from EoT

Does anyone know where the opening part of this footage was shot when Elvis first comes on stage?
I realize the rest is from San Antonio but the band is wearing white or blue and then it changes to black...
I think this may have been asked about once before but I don't recall if there was a conclusion.

Probably taken from Macon, GA at the 4-15-1972 ES.

First 20 seconds backstage is Macon - April 15,1972 ES.
After that and when Elvis comes on stage (band in powder blue) it's Detroit - April 6, 1972 ES.
After 2 minutes it's San Antonio - April 18, 1972 ES.

It's all been discussed in this thread:

You know, that version of "Dixie" and uh, the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," it's so beautiful!
The band he's put together is so over-the-top, and only Elvis would have that kinda spending power, and just audacious craziness. Choirs, and orchestras, and a great rhythm section, maybe another gospel group on the side. None of it makes sense until you suddenly hear something like that, and they're all playing a role in that, and it's very moving music. That's the pure joy of music in the man. You know, that's when I see everything stop.

That also implies a later shot where the powder blue outfits are seen is also from Detroit.
