To solve the question I have to share the entire copy of the one I bought many years ago now.
The photos are clearly about 1 second apart. Sorry Doc

Thanks, Brian -- your image confirms what James said. Good work, James.bripet56 wrote:To solve the question I have to share the entire copy of the one I bought many years ago now.
Brian, they could be as much as 5 seconds apart.bripet56 wrote:The photos are clearly about 1 second apart.
There's actually only two. The first one is a cropped version of the complete photo Brian has.drjohncarpenter wrote:
Throw all three together, and this is a rare, same time "trifecta"!
Sure thing Doc, I just wanted to point out that the photos were not taken before AND after the show.Brian, they could be as much as 5 seconds apart.
But, tell us, is this before or after the performance?
SincerelyOn Sunday morning (June 10) Elvis went to the airport (in Phoenix, Az.)and boarded a plane for Tucson, Az., where he was to appear at the Rodeo Grounds. At about 9 p.m. Elvis was smuggled into a tiny hot little shed under the bleachers, where he chatted with Betty Milburn and Shirley Phillips (from the local newspapers) and some cousins, Marie Quinn and Bob Keithley, who happened to live in Tucson. He was accompanied by a curvacious blonde, who was described as "just a friend, a chorine, from the Milton Berle Show." The blonde had also accompanied Elvis at his show in Long Beach. Elvis mentioned that he had been offered the role as Billy the Kid, but he didn't want any westerns. Nor did he want to sing...just something dramatic. After intermission Elvis was whisked around to the stage in a green Cadillac. In the audience that night, was a young man by the name Delbert "Sonny" West, who was the younger cousin of Red West, and would come to work for Elvis later on. Sonny had just left the U.S. Air Force and now he looked at his date and all the spectacle before him with amazement. The crowd stomped its feet and shrieked and squealed through "Blue Suede Shoes," "Heartbreak Hotel" and other Presley hits. As a finale Elvis, wearing a brown shantung suit, brown and white sports shirt, blue socks and a gone expression, jumped from the stage, ran through the gamut of burlesquetype wiggling, got down on his knees and literally crawled to the waiting car, while the kids surged forward, the policemen swore under their breath and tried to hold them back, and the rest looked at the entire spectacle with complete amazement
Cool story Brian. Thanks for that. I think 5 seconds in that crowd is a stretch. I still doubt it was much more than a second. Scarce little has differed in anyone's position between the two shots, even more visible since we also see the crowd now in both shots. In 5 seconds he'd have been out the door and in the car.bripet56 wrote:Doc wrote:Sure thing Doc, I just wanted to point out that the photos were not taken before AND after the show.Brian, they could be as much as 5 seconds apart.

There is no writing on the back of my photo so I can't tell for sure but by his neat hair I'd say the photos were taken right after intermission when Elvis entered the green Cadillac that whisked him around to the stage.
