Re: June 22, 1977 - Sioux Falls
Interesting find, as most assumed he wore the Sundial suit for all the shows that followed June 18 in Kansas City.

Re: Beautiful pic, exact date not known. 1976?
I located another photo from Sioux Falls that matches the one in the OP, but it is from the visit he made on 10-18-1976.
Source: http://www.elvisconcerts.com
So that's the correct date, the information on the back of the photo is wrong.
I must say, though, this must have been one of the nights where Elvis did not wear the corset. At other shows on this particular tour you can see the difference when he has it on.

Re: Beautiful pic, Oct. 18, 1976
First I don't get the comment about a "corset" or the need to go down that rabbit trail when a picture with a wrong date was posted to start this thread. Nothing about a corset was mentioned in the original post. Secondly, what evidence is there that Elvis was wearing a corset in the pic from Chicago...., Oh, never mind, I can see how this is going to go and I'm not going down the path this time....

Re: Beautiful pic, Oct. 18, 1976
Use of a "corset" was discussed by people who were around at the time, in other words it is part of the historical record. But Elvis finally decided it constricted his breathing too much, so he stopped it. I mentioned this because it was relevant.rlj4ep wrote:First I don't get the comment about a "corset" or the need to go down that rabbit trail when a picture with a wrong date was posted to start this thread.

The labeling of the photo which launched this topic as June 1977 immediately seemed correct because of his appearance. Further evidence proved the labeling was wrong. If you take time to look at the many photos taken during the tour in October 1976, you will clearly see the shows when he donned a corset, and when he did not. I hope this helps clear up your confusion as to why this "rabbit trail" was discussed.

Re: Beautiful pic, Oct. 18, 1976
It is relevant to you. It was not mentioned when the pic was posted. The pic was focused on the date, not what Elvis had on in the way of under garments.drjohncarpenter wrote:Use of a "corset" was discussed by people who were around at the time, in other words it is part of the historical record.

Re: Beautiful pic, Oct. 18, 1976
No, it was relevant to the discussion, as we were scrutinizing all aspects of the photo to properly ascertain when it was taken. In so doing, the correct date has been determined.

Re: Beautiful pic, Oct. 18, 1976
I've often wondered about these claims that EP wore a corset on stage. More often than not, his jumpsuit was unzipped a good bit down his belly,almost to the navel in some cases. Had he indeed been wearing a corset, wouldn't it have became visible when his tucked in scarf was removed during "Love Me"?
I'm no expert on such garments, but when I think of a corset I envisage a garment that would go right up to just below the chest?

Second, please do not make inappropriate assumptions about what I like or dislike or put words in my mouth, so-to-speak. I in no way said I didn't like anything. All I did was point out that the corset was not part of the original post. I was simply making a gentle reference for us to actually stay on point in a thread. But once again, I should know better by now.
Third, you introduced the whole talk of a corset with your post. I'm not entirely sure where the "we" came from.
Fourth, I know the "historic record" as you often refer to it, as do many here at FECC. I don't appreciate being talked down to in every post I make that offers a different perspective.
