Your information is incorrect, Leroy Smith spoke with Bill Belew prior to his passing and he corrected the fan given names, and revealed the correct names. This information is available accross the internet also the correct name can be found on Francesc Lopez great site below.

While his face looks ok, his body does not. And the suit appears to have come back dirty from the cleaners. But it is a nice pic with Elvis' face giving a nice look.

how on earth did he get so thin around this time in late 76. i've watched the 8mm of the Dec 4th Vegas show and whilst he is thin and 'appears' in shape, his movements make him look absolutely knackered.

Nice site you have Matt !!

A few (little) things I noticed on your front page:

Update 18/6/2011: it says April 2nd (should be 28th, once clicked on the link for the picture gallery it shows correct at the top of the page). Picture 6 in that gallery is not from Green Bay, April 28th 1977 but from Charlotte, NC, February 20th 1977 instead.

Update 20/6/2011: It says May 29th 1977, Knoxville, TN (also showing that once the link is clicked), but should be May 20th 1977 instead.


Hope you don't mind me pointing these little mistakes out. Not trying to nitpick, just giving positive criticism 8)

And it is many Len Leech pictures i see, not Leach :smt006


Whether you're black or white, whether you're country, redneck or a freak, young or old, from Moscow, London or Memphis, Elvis Presley will still be the King of rock 'n' roll to me. He really and truly will.

I thought this was the blue rainbow, and the blue suit Elvis wore during September 1972 Las Vegas engagement was the blue swirl?
