Best shots of the suite imo, and two of the coolest ep shots i've seen.

Both may come from the camera of famed photographer Annie Liebovitz. Can anyone confirm?

I had the pleasure of meeting Annie -- a nicer, more down-to-earth person cannot be imagined.

All the color shots save for the last one in the first post are Shaver's.... I have a set of ten shots in this outfit, but the fourth color shot posted here is not in my set of Shaver pics. It may be his photo as well, but it isn't in my set.

The first one in this post is one of my all-time favorite Elvis shots; I believe they were all shot in Kansas City, MO stop on the November 1971 tour, with the exception of the second shot that has the black windscreen microphone in it. That shot looks more like April '72 to me.
