These are pictures I have dated as the above shows but don't know how correct the dates are Francesc. Can you confirm/dis-firm (is that a word ) if they are from these shows or not, please.

[Francesc]

The one from March 16 is incorrect. It is not Memphis. Thanks for the other ones.

[Francesc]

At which show on the March 1974 tour did Elvis wear his infamous birthday suit? Some claim it would have happened during one of the Memphis dates. So far, no photos have surfaced.

Wouldn't you just love to see a picture of that, Doc............................

[drjohncarpenter]

Well, it would give "Down In The Alley" a whole new meaning.

[Francesc]

THere it goes my nice post looking for information!

[drjohncarpenter]

Hey, I'm keeping the thread alive!

[Ben]

There it goes my nice post looking for information!

Yes, sorry Francesc I tried contributing (in a positive way) to it.

ON TOPIC: do you think the other pictures I posted could be from the dates I said they were??

[Francesc]

Sadly those pics dont have to much to compare with others like stage, band members.

Is that picture any better to date, Francesc??

[Francesc]

Yes ! I'll see what I can do !

[Ben]

Yes ! I'll see what I can do !

Good Good!! Hope you confirm they are from the 8th March Show

[Francesc]

That platform is really familiar.

[Francesc]

I think we discussed that months ago with Brian and we got the conxclusion that these photos were from Greensboro

[FrankieRider2]

Francesc, the Memphis papers ran several photos of Elvis after that opening show in '74. The old clippings should yield you some decent enough shots for documentation purposes.

[bripet56]

Well, let's see if we can get some dates on the photos posted here.

I don't have any date for the upper left photo in ben's first post. But the right one is evening show in Memphis, March 17, 1974. Sean Shaver original.

The one in the middle in the Aloha suit is from Mobile, June 20, 1973

March 17, 1974 for the last one is correct. Evening show as the first one and also Shaver original.

As for ben's second photo-post this could very well be form Monroe, March 8, 1974. This and other photos with same stage-platform were sold on Ebay as being from Monroe and the background does not seem to be the same as in Greensboro.

Sincerely
Brian

[Francesc]

Thanks for pointing out about the Sean Shave photos. I didnt have photos from March 17,1974 Evening show.

Regarding the Monroe photo i'll chech tonite when I get home and see if the platform matches with the ones from Greensboro.

[Francesc]

Hey Brian, if Ben photo is from Monroe, wouldn't these ones be from Monroe too?

[bripet56]

Yes Francesc, I'd say they are. At least that's how I've dated them.

Remember how the seating behind the stage was steeper in Greensboro and there was a red "carpet" behind Ronnie Tutt that we can't see in the Monroe pics.

Greensboro, March 13, 1974
