Matt, I've got it dated from the day before, in the same town.

[Rob]

Binghamton.

Damn it!

[Mister Mike]

Binghamton.

Damn it!

Isn't Binghampton an hour drive from Cincinatti?

[jurasic1968]

A very clear photo. Thanks, Matt.

[Joern]

This photo - with lesser quality - was taken seconds after the one in the first posting.

With an apple in his hand.

[Joern]

The apple... in a little bigger and better quality.

[Rob]

Binghamton.

Stop by my office, please.

Bring all of your personal belongings.

[colobone]

thank you

Thanks Matt...., also javierTCB for picking up the apple! The shows in Binghampton were good shows, relatively speaking. If it is from the 27th it would have been the night before the last time I would see Elvis, which was the Saturday evening show on May 28.

I won't be a smart ass, but the name of the photographer is Len Leech.
Len died years ago, but his wife Rosemarie is still selling their great photo's.

I have a number of Len's pictures in my personal connection. He and Rosemary have given us fans many wonderful pictures (and memories) of Elvis over the years

After the show

Are these shots from the concert on May 26 or 27?

I thought the photos were taken after the second show (27), but this screen shot, from the amazing Elvis Presley In Concert website makes it clear that it was after the first show (26). Most of us read about the famous scene when the door was locked and fans started gathering. The boys were getting anxious but Elvis was cool as a cucumber

[Joern]

Thank you for the explanation. That helped me a lot to put the photos in the (probably) right order.

The look on Joe's face in that 3rd picture speaks volumes.

[arnaudbxl]

Joe is wearing Elvis'TCB ring after the show, anyone knows why this was the usual procedure ?

[peacock74]

Wow! Thank you for the additional photos, great!

Elvis looked very bad.

[Matt Ashton]

Thank you everyone for the information and the photos, Elvis fans at their best.

In the opening photo his mouth is chewing a nice, big bit of that apple, too.

Ah, so you were at the Spectrum, along with our own Greybeard, super-fan John Herman, Bruce Springsteen, Steve van Zandt, and 18,845 other crazy fans.

Yes, I was fortunate enough to have been at all of the Philly shows in the '70s.

Is John Herman the same man who recorded the New Year's Eve show in Pittsburgh?
