Richard Upper shot photos for the Honolulu Advertiser. At the time of the Elvis concert he was only 17 years old!

The photo is from the 11-17-1972 (Fri) concert in Honolulu.

Thanks for finding it!

Not sure where you get Hawaii from, there's nothing on the web link that indicates that.

It's actually a photo from his 11-11-1972 (Sat) concert in Oakland, CA.

All of the photos behind the link, including the one in OP, are from Honolulu. As indicated by the site...

Simmer down on the snark, it's a bad look.

Did some research on photographer Richard Upper, who I thought worked out of the SF Bay Area.

He did not, although later was based in Los Angeles.



Photographer Richard Upper talks about his beginnings PTS. 1, 2 and 3










As noted in my post update, he attended the 11-17-1972 (Fri) gig at the H.I.C. in Honolulu.

Here's Richard speaking a bit hazily about the Presley concert he photographed:









From the site, all the photos posted from 11-17-1972 (Fri) in Honolulu are below.

Only $450 to $1,650 a print! Actually, pretty damn good shots from a 17 year-old kid.

Interestingly, the one used to accompany the review in the November 18th Honolulu Advertiser is not among them.
