Very good alfredotcb ! All are news to me, very interesting !! ::rocks


You've never walked in that man's shoes or seen things through his eyes
Or stood and watched with helpless hands while the heart inside you dies
So help your brother along the road no matter where you start
For the God that made you, made them too, these men with broken hearts

Nice find!

The eBay page explains why there is a "J" written on the photos: the photographer was Joyce Biddie. Anyone ever heard of her?

On another eBay page, the back of the single photo up for sale includes a identifying stamp on the back. Joyce lived in Birmingham, AL.

Her marking indicates this shot comes from the 3-17-1974 ES (Memphis). That is helpful, as you will soon see.

There are several more photos from March 1974, mostly from Montgomery, AL. It appears you did not upload these. Regardless, thanks again for finding and sharing the eBay page.

Let me see if I can stick all 21 in order . . . AND . . . note there are actually three shows:

3-06-1974 (Montgomery)
3-16-1974 ES (Memphis)
3-17-1974 ES (Memphis)

Nice pictures, but Elvis is a lot heavier comparing to Aloha, 14 month earlier.

Nice work putting them in order Doc. Unseen photos after all these years are always welcome.

Not trying to be an ass here, but what relevance is this comment to these unseen photo's?

This is the 11th March 1974, It's either angles or changeable weight in how Elvis looked day by day. One thing is for sure 1974 was definitely the last year that Elvis would be able to pull off that feat and 1975 was the last year he could be overweight and look like he wasn't ill!

I guess sometimes I get protective? Not quite an Elvis looked great in 1977, but defensive of the last year Elvis could of stopped the rot.
