I never realized how YELLOW the Presley tour plane was! Note that Elvis was #1 on Billboard's album charts at the time of this tour, with the soundtrack to his "Aloha" TV special. Your pages also made me realize we have an incorrect date reference in our Elvis history for 1973.
Read on:
On your April 29, 1973 pages we see Ed Parker with Elvis as the singer meets fans by his plane. But how can this be?
It is allegedly only a few weeks after Elvis' name was mistakenly put on the San Francisco Civic Auditorium marquee for Parker's California Karate Championship tournament, the date of which has always been noted as Sunday, April 8.
The story goes that Elvis had flown up from L.A. to attend, and promptly left the city and flew back, with orders from Presley management to take down the name, since his upcoming Lake Tahoe engagement forbid any other personal appearances in the area. And Ed is known as the one who took the blame for this, and was kicked out of the entourage for a time.
So Ed should not be with Elvis on April 29, twenty-one days after this huge mess. Right?
It turns out that this ill-fated karate tournament was actually held on the weekend of May 5-6, 1973!
It was called the "3rd Annual Northern California Karate Championships":
Black Belt, June 1973
Note: the "1973 Calendar" also appears in the March and April issues with the exact same dates.
And this means that Elvis must have flown to SF during his Sahara Tahoe stand, discovered the marquee issue, and flew right back to Tahoe.
Elvis did an opening show on May 4 (Fri), and two shows on May 5 (Sat), so he must have flown down on May 6 (Sun) to see some of the tournament and then fly back before his performance that night.
No wonder management blew up -- Elvis had already begun shows. And maybe this perceived betrayal might have been a factor in Elvis getting "ill" and canceling the last four days (eight shows) of the Tahoe engagement.
The (temporary) banishing of Ed Parker happened on Sunday, May 6, 1973.
There's always something new to learn!
HEAD START — Just watching a demonstration like this would be enough to give most people a headache, but splitting nine roof tiles with your head is just routine, if strenuous, practice for Dong Kie Shin, 28, a seventh-degree black belt, who performed in the Northern California Karate Championships held at Civic Auditorium in San Francisco today.
