Great topic idea! I'll see if I can find some more.

Elvis receiving gold awards for Madison Square Garden LP and The Wonder of You single in Las Vegas - August 1, 1972.
Unfortunately, the video quality is not good.

Elvis receiving award (0:31) for "Moody Blue" {album} at the Indianapolis Airport - June 26 1977. This was not a gold award, but a presentation for the billionth (some reports say two billionth) record pressed by RCA, which just happened to be Moody Blue.

Although these clips don't have Elvis receiving gold record awards, I thought it would be good to include them in this thread.

Elvis looks ultra-cool in this shot.

Elvis looks ultra-cool in this shot.

Indeed he does! His clothes are -- for him -- quite casual, but he looks awesome.

He's also trimmer and tanner than he was at MSG on June 10, just seven weeks earlier.

Clearly, Elvis was ready to knock 'em dead for his opening show on August 4.

If anyone knows the date, location, album and people in these pics, please let me know. I believe the year is 1973.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Doc.

This is a fantastic thread!
I just want to say that even though I don't post here that often, that I'm just blown away again and again by the quality of the posts and information on this board!

This might be the closest thing to jeans he ever wore in the later years. Very cool!

How do you make that three weeks from June 10 to August 1?

Some nice things to look through on this thread thank ya.!

Great post, EPA4368, thank you.

Just to clarify, I think that's George Parkhill of RCA on the Madison picture.

Steve Sholes died in 1968.

Fabulous picture, though!

Awesome topic!!

I'd seen the pic of our man receiving the disc for MSG before but had forgotten how cool he looked. He looks better than Aloha.

Excellent thread guys!

You're right it's George Parkhill. Thank you!

Steve Sholes died in 1968.

Thanks to YOU Doc,you did all the work!I just pointed you in the direction(gave you a wrong date,actually )

BTW,the other "official" LP awards he had up to this point recieved were;

Elvis(1960)
Elvis' Golden Records(1961)
Blue Hawaii(1961)
GI Blues(1963)
Girls Girls Girls(1963)
