Scott -

Please delete that comment -- it's grossly offensive, not funny at all.

There are at least a FEW female members of this forum, and I cannot imagine a single one of them appreciating such a crude posting.

Thanks.

If the date is January 15, 1971, Elvis had something FAR more important coming up the next day in Memphis.

But WHY did he bring that flashlight??? There are other pics of himwith flashlights too...

But WHY did he bring that flashlight???

Because Presley obviously wanted too.

He had a fear of finding himself in a dark alley without illumination......

DJC, Paul quoted you as the source in relation to the time frame - http://www.elvis-collectors.com/candid-central/trousdale.html - of these photo's. I was sent these photo's via email and they were dated April 23rd '71. Obviously these are wrongly dated, however, it would be safe to say that these are from the 23rd of January (???). Would you tend to agree? Are these the only photo's of Presley taken between the 17th and the time he flew out to Vegas?! Thank you in advance! Cheers!

Come on guys, get over it

JD, that's rather interesting. Might explain why 'Cilla was trailing behind her husband! Thankyou for letting us know! Cheers!

[Tony Trout]

I agree with you on all three requests, Doc. That was a totally and completely uncalled for comment!!

Thanks, Tony.

I guess crude, sexist jokes are OK with the moderators.

Apparently, they are but, you're welcome, Doc. Crude, sexist jokes shouldn't be welcome here, IMO, because of the women on the board. I hold women in high regard and I found it rather offensive simply because, as you said, there are several female members on here (and one member who has a little daughter, for Pete's sake, IIRC?).

Scott,

Not that my suggestion will do a bit of good, but, I suggest you think twice before making such further crude and distateful comments. I'm not a Mod, but if I were, you would've been severely chastised - or worse.[/b]

As an aside, does anyone know the last time Elvis ever wore that "'68 Comeback Special/Nixon" jacket??

Those are two different jackets -- IIRC, he never wore anything from the show after taping was completed. Bill Belew likely designed both, though.

[Moderator2]

The moderating team received a personal message about this thread and not a report that is why the remark made by scottngeorgia was allowed to remain on the board for so long.

FECC apologises to anyone that may have been offended by the remark and would like to remind members that we don't have time to read every thread or post on the forum and would appreciate reports being made rather than members taking things into their own hands.

Thank you for your cooperation.

No, the jacket used on the show in 68 is the same one he wore on his visit to Nixon

That is correct, James. The jacket is, in fact, the same jacket as worn in the "'68 Comeback Special" even though it may not look like it. Leroy Smith - who is a member here but can't seem to access his account for some reason - had a discussion with Bill Belew and Butch Polston of B&K Enterprises and he (Leroy) can confirm this information.
