good eye, fool! another giveaway are the two red tapings on the black mikro cord, they look exactly the same on both picures.

It is striking to note he could look OK from certain angles in 1977. But the other photos from March 23 show us the truth: he is very unwell. And this tour follows his Hawaiian vacation, which everyone says "rejuvenated" him. This is why 1977 makes me so sad. It should not have been as it was.

I'll preface this by saying it was the least of his problems, but his hair and his sideburns were just too long. He almost always appears better in those photos where he doesn't have bangs nor mutton chops nearly touching his mouth.

I have an original print of this photo. I got it in 1977. I got it from a member of the Denver based Mile High On Elvis fan club. The print I have is a 5"X 7".

I would say its better quality than the picture posted which looks a little grainy but probably equal quality to the original picture.
