Some call me a "'70s hater" and yet when I post a gorgeous, previously-unseen photo from 1977, no one has a comment.

Hmm.

Thanks for the picture Doc. It is a nice shot.

Thanks for the picture Doc. It is a nice shot.

The top half, anyway.

Thanks.

Thanks for posting the picture Doc, it is a really nice picture, one of the best I've seen from 1977.

The top half, anyway.

'70s hater!

Still not enough top half, though.

I don't know what it was, but in the Shaver photos from this show, he looked, dare I say it, good..."The King Still Rocks Fair Hearts to Weep" said the Minneapolis Star review...thank you for the photo.

The clue is that Elvis lost some weight in April.
Compare pictures from Ann Arbor to for example the May tour and the difference is shocking.

Or from the 68 Special for that matter.

Thanks. This thread made me smile, after watching my "tragic tape."

Nice kidding around.

Good night all,

Too bad I lost contact with Scott Stumpf. He was amazed I had his b/w photo of Elvis and credited to him and then supplied me with the color one. He also send me the photo from Sioux Falls 77 from his friend. They had some other stuff and then they banished ...

That's what I always thought myself! The difference between Ann Arbor '77 and Louisville '77 is indeed incredible!

@Doc: Thanks for posting an unseen picture.

Super find, DOC! As always, thanks so much.

And yet his voice was stronger and his shows were better in the April tour. Too bad he put on the weight he lost before the penultimate tour again before his last tour.

Sorry, I wasn't aware of this fantastic forum back then, in 2013 !


Thanks for this picture, I have it already. So now I'm going to read the rest of this thread

[dyloke]

thanks . I think that fans do not hate ELVIS, but prefer one period more than another; for example in FRANCE the majority is pro-70.

A very nice picture

Not to mention pro-Jerry Lewis.
