Friends,
Found a few weeks ago this photo on Ebay, l like these photo's with the great interaction between Elvis and the fans.
Also very curious about the photo's from the guy in his blue shirt
The photo is taken by Danny Bolen
Has anyone an idea about the venue, band in blue?
And maybe also in better quality?
Enjoy the photo!
Ed

I did a quick correction of the perspective and a slight color adjustment - I hope you don't mind, Ed?

My guess is this is from
5-25-1977 (Rochester). Thanks as always

I knew I have seen it before, but not in color. Doc, I think your guess about Rochester can't be correct for different reasons: a) Sherrill Nielsen wore a sleevless outfit in Rochester.; b) from that point of view you would expect to see that ugly wall with that even more ugly looking curtain that is so typical for the 1977 photos of Rochester; c) The Sweet Inspirations wore a different stage outfit - my guess is that their outfits have been white - in Rochester they wore yellow ones.

Wow, you have some photos there!
However, Cincinnati's not right, either.
stage is too high, all those fans in the eBay example are really close to stage level Elvis' mic does not have any black tape marking on it
The next best possibility is from just a few days before . . .
6-23-1977 (Des Moines):
Elvis' hair, combed back over his forehead, matches There is a wide black band on his vocal microphone The band wore the light blue outfits here as well
And the Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Des Moines had a much lower stage:

It definitely is Des Moines. I'm almost certain that this is the photo the guy in the blue shirt took less than a second earlier.

Regardless of where it is, that's one of the best scarf tosses I've ever seen.

Have always thought that this scarf toss belongs at least in one of the top three:

I did a bit more color correction and tweaks from Markus' photo...

That way it looks a bit like a slate from an 8mm film.
