Priscilla at Elvis concerts..

[Burning_Love]

I recently posted a thread called 'Is This Priscilla' and people were saying how they have never seen the pic that i posted. Well, Someone on here sent me pictures of The 68 comeback and Priscilla in the background, so of course i watch it and look closely and i took some pictures.
Well, enjoy !
And if you have any like this please post, i think some people like to see pictures like these ones..(y)

Oh Yeah, and Priscilla is in the TOP ROW, she is in white, sitting beside two men. And you should notice her because of her hair :clap:


(Not sure whether this should be in Off Topic ??)

I found here! thanks for sharing:clap:

[Burning_Love]

Glad you did (y) :king:

[Tommy]

Thank you for sharing these shots(y)(y)

[poormansgold76]

I'm Not Sure That Pris. was there or not?

[marijaep]

I spotted her!:clap:
Thanks Danielle:D

[elvislady]

Here are the pics lightend up.
elvislady:D

[riley]

look at the pic on the right, she had alreaddy that typical gesture of her "hand in the hair" thing.

[riley]

also joannie Esposito, and sandy schilling were with her, possibly also Patsy Presley.

Pris was accompanied by her hairdresser also and her dance instructor

[Diane]

Great, she shows up at the '68 Special with her dance instructor whom she's having an affair with and then again a year or two later at one of Elvis' Vegas concerts with Mike Stone...........:angry:

Diane

She dated her dance instructor in 1968???:supriced:

[presley]

yes marija, very true.

P.S how do you know thats the guy mark riley???

[marijaep]

yes marija, very true.

P.S how do you know thats the guy mark riley???

WOW Jen, I didn't know that...I am very surprised

[presley]

Elvis did forgive her for that, but things were never the same again for them, but elvis himself was out doing the same thing, so its not fair to curse one person just cause the other is famous.

I am not cursing Cilla, now way, I never will ;) I was just surprised...and sure I know he was out doing the same thing. Thanks for the info Jen:D

[presley]

Some fans will be cursing when they read this thread marija, that what l said its not nice to curse one person when the other was out doing the same.

[marijaep]

You are right Jen(y)

[Diane]

I also think Elvis was very wrong for seeing other woman, but I don't think he was ever known to bring them up in front of Priscilla.....that takes a special kind of coldness. She always took things one step farther. I guess the old saying is true in her case - "hell has no fury like a woman scorned".

Diane

[presley]

good point diane, its would be considered l slap in the face where l came from. Wonder if it is really true she bought both people she had affairs with to elvis concerts???

[Diane]

You're right Jen but it's very hard not to form opinions one way or the other when things like this are brought to light.

I'd like to think really that neither one of them were as bad as they have been portrayed. I think most of us are tired of hearing the negatives.

Diane

[riley]

well I wondered that too you know.:supriced:

It was indeed her dance teacher Steven Peck (not Mark) and the hairdresser but I cannot figure everything out either.:hmm:

According to her book, she had a short liaison with her dance instructor approx 8 weeks after the birth of Lisa. Lets say spring 68.

Then Elvis found out and she pleaded with him, telling him it was just a cry for help, that it did not mean anything and they made up and went to Hawaii,( may 68) sort of second honeymoon and giving him the occasion to get a sun tan too.


Then the 68 special began, in summer, and she showed up in public with the one she had prior an affaire with in front of Elvis and in front of all the friends and family members:doh::doh:

I don't know, somewhere this story just isn't right, isn't right at all.:hmm::hmm:

Somebody must be telling untrue facts. Wished we knew the true story.

[presley]

Riley
The story doesn't make sense either, priscilla carrys on how much she loved elvis, if that was true why would she bring guys she had the affair with to places where he doing shows??? I wish someone would tell us the truth!!!

[riley]

That she had a brief liaison is true but somewhere things don't seem to be right.

It is an everlasting enigma to me.

Somewhere lies are told but where.:hmm:

She herself admitted the affaire tough:doh:

[presley]

I did read about mark in her book, but l can't see her bring mike stone to elvis concert, considing she knew how elvis felt about mike and etc.

[jeanmary]

I have pics of Priscilla there..there's no doubt it was her.

[riley]

Jeanmary,

what do you mean??

You have pics of her attending show with Mike Stone???

Please share them.:notworthy:notworthy

I know for certain she did attend a show with him and that Elvis was terribly upset because I heard it mentionned several times by people who were part of his entourage or close friends but until now noone ever could give proof black on white

[presley]

I have to see the pictures, cause l don't know what to think about her doing that to elvis.I really hope its all gossip and not the real turth.

[riley]

If several people witnessed it , I don't think it is gossip either , you know.

You must realise that after some time things cooled down a little bit. Elvis had Linda, Pris had Mike and Elvis even considered to give him a TCB necklace.

The guys objected fiercly and said they would throw away theirs if he would give one to Stone.

Here I can agree with the MM guys completely.

"Taking care of Business "giving to Mike Stone:lol::lol:

Elvis must have had a weird sense of humour;)

[presley]

IN there book they wrote about elvis talking about mike stone distroying his family, l can't see mike getting a necklace. I don't believe anything till l see the proof on thiscause that would be the most hurtful thing priscilla could of done besides leaving him. I even google it and found zero matches.

[marijaep]

Nooooooooo...can't be....She wouldn't do that:blink:
If she did, i can imagine how Elvis must have felt...:'(
I can't believe in it totally though, because I haven't seen any pictures yet:hmm: I hope she didn't do that , because it sounds very mean!

[TLC67]

She didn't go to the '68 special with Mike. It was at a Vegas show after their divorce.
According to one of his entourage, he was so upset that he had to leave the stage for a few minutes.
Maybe that will make more sense for you!
I'm going to look through my books and let you know which one the story is in.

[riley]

TLS67,

Ofcourse it was not the 68, she did not know Mike then.

Probably had seen him alreaddy once at a tournement in Hawaii and was introduced to him but I don't think they were seeing each other before 1970 or1971.

It was indeed a Vegas concert she attended with him, and AFTER the OFFICIAL divorce. Pris went out very very much with Mike and was seen on almost every party in LA.


Still leaves us with the question of the 68 show what is true about the dance instructor liaison and how could she manage to have him in the audience , sitting right next to her when Elvis and all the Presley family members and friends were there.:doh:

Something is so wrong but I don't know what.:hmm:


the only plausible explanations are:

1. either it was not her dance instructor sitting next to her

2. the liason took place after 68 or Elvis found out only "after" 68 show
but that does not make sense either because I always read even in her book that they went on vacation to give their marriage a second chance after Elvis finding out she had an affair in the dance school.


I know they also went to the Bahammas once , was it perhaps that journey that is ment in all the books to be the one making up again instead of the earlier Hawaii vacation???????????? Then we have another timeframe

3. the one sitting next to her may have been Steven Peck, her dance instructor but the liaison would have been then with someon else, maybe some dancer of her group and not at all the teacher. I know the name Mark is always around also and that is odd because the dance teacher was Steven Peck and he was" much older "then Priscilla too. So who was Mark????

[TLC67]

On page 261 of her book she mentions "Mark" as the owner of of a jazz and ballet studio in LA. And then goes on to say, "He was an extremely attractive and dynamic man of 45."

On page 262 she describes the "brief" affair and the trip to Hawaii as a second honeymoon and to try to forget her experience with Mark. It (affair) was during Elvis filming of "Live a Little, Love a Little" in '68.

Maybe Steven Peck is the "new dance instructor" on page 267? She doesn't give a name or mention being involved with him but that doesn't mean anything.

This was during Elvis preparation for the '68 Special.

[4THEHEART]

how happy and relieving it must be for her that Elvis will never write a book about his ex..he wouldn't do that of course even if he was still here,noble man he was..I'm not talkin about acting to look like,talking about being noble in spirit..so he was..

[presley31]

As much as l love elvis he had alots of wrongs too!

[Burning_Love]

Ok i think we have gone off topic !
Elvislady, thanks for the pictures, you can see Priscilla more clearly (y)

[IM4Elvis]

I was unaware that she was at this historic event. Thanks for sowing us these interesting pics.

IM

[Burning_Love]

That's Ok IM4Elvis ! I guess you learn something new on here everyday :clap: :king:

[poormansgold76]

I think She wasn't there, if was there, it's rare , Elvis Don't liked wifes of his body guards go to concerts only opening nights or closing nights.
and She wasn't At his movies sets all.
The 68 comeback liked movie set, it's for tv:huh:
Tom

[Burning_Love]

She was there because you can see her on the pics. And she did go to some movie sets, when i get the pic, i will show you on the set of one movie. I think it was Clambake, can't remember. She went to the TTWII concerts too, i had pictures on here somewhere.

[presley31]

Tom
priscilla was there in some of his shows.

[elvis himselvis]

Thanks everybody for the information...didn't know about those affairs of her in 1968.
Burning Love,thanks for the pictures of her sitting in the audience;):king:

[riley]

Pris was certainly there and went to movie sets too.
Like set of Stay away Joe
It happened at the world's fair
and she always was in Vegas on opening and closing nights too.

Very sheltered from the eye of the public tough.

[poormansgold76]

Maybe I'm wrong, but You have closed up picture of her to see that's real her, and if her I'll say I'm wrong about this, I know she didn't go Too It Happened At world.'s fair , because I use live In Washington State, Had friends was here (1962).

[riley]

here is the pic of her visiting Elvis on the set.
Looking at the posters I tought it was happened at the world's fair, but maybe we see here an office or something and it can be another movie set also

[riley]

about 68.

It it her she mentionnes even in EBTP she was there too. Look at her figure, her hair, even the typical gesture with her hands in the hair, it is her for sure

[KPM]

Here are the pics lightend up.
elvislady:D
If that is her at the top of the pictures on the right, she must be setting on the man next to hers lap in the second picture. She almost blends into him?
It looks... odd?

[Merry]

how happy and relieving it must be for her that Elvis will never write a book about his ex..he wouldn't do that of course even if he was still here,noble man he was..I'm not talkin about acting to look like,talking about being noble in spirit..so he was..


Well said, 4TheHeart.

Jess

[presley31]

We all have faults that's what being human is all about.

[4THEHEART]

of course we do have..God knows I have lots of faults..but I believe being low and having faults are very different and he was never low..Hey Jess !! I love your avatar ,I'm a cat crazy..:P:D

[presley31]

l think we should stay on topic, this has nothing to do with priscilla at elvis concerts.

[goodelvisgirl]

well looking at the pics i tend to think it is her although i never knew she was there and just to say she was cold and low to bring her ex lovers to see elvis perform if your gonna do it dont flaunt it thats a slap in the face to elvis anyway thanks for posting the pics i learn something new all the time

[4THEHEART]

my being a cat crazy PJ ??;) well, y'all could stay on more whatever subject you'd like,but people better try not to get annoyed when hearing positive things about Elvis,specially here..

[Burning_Love]

4THEHEART, No ones getting annoyed. I think this thread has gone a bit off-subject, when in the first place it was talking about her at Elvis concerts.
Hey, were all friends ! (y):clap: :king:

[4THEHEART]

it's still "her" in the concert,that's why the other subject came along..though it wasn't me who gave the info about her bringing that guys to Elvis concerts,but it's not I hear this for the first time,besides, I felt like I was traced with each of my posting in this thread,with a remark that reminding me Elvis's faults..strange,really strange..you can see that too Burning love..;)

[presley31]

l agree it did get off the topic, but some people have more information they had to share, but we should get back on topic, we can always make a new topic.

[Burning_Love]

Ok then 4THEHEART, i do see what you mean. You were only sticking up for Elvis, but they all got off topic too. :clap:

And Presley31, that would be a better idea. (y)

[jak]

I dont believe that is a photo of Priscilla at the 68 special.I dont think it's even close.I think the hair is misleading everyone.Half the women in the country had that big hairstyle back then.
Jak

[Diane]

Wouldn't that be a hoot if it really wasn't Priscilla at the '68 Special concert after all these posts on the subject.:)

Diane

[Burning_Love]

Lol Diane, Yup It Would Be !!!!!! :lmfao:

[elvisville]

is this Priscilla ?

[riley]

that is her.
I think late 69 or 70

[KPM]

Jak
I tend to agree it is hard to tell just from hair. But also as I stated in a previous post in the second picture it looks like she is sandwiched in on top of the guy next to her-odd looking.

[Burning_Love]

Here some pictures Of Cilla on the 'Stay Away Joe' set. (y)

[Burning_Love]

Two more pics with cilla on set with El
At the right hand side of the white pictures, you can see her.

(y)

[riley]

the left one is not on set but taken at their LA home (was it Rocca place:hmm:)

[riley]

it was her, look at that third pic, you see her refined features so much, then the typical gesture with her hands towards her hair, she still does that.
It is not a blend in at all, just watch the dvd she is there allright.

Pris was at the taping, stated in various books too.

I am sure it's her on the pictures from the 68 special, Riley you are right about the gesture, it's SO Priscilla :D
Plus, I've read in many books that she was there(y):D

[jak]

She may have been there but that's not her in those photo's.To say her hand gesture is proof is stretching it.I didnt know that was a distinguishable habit of hers.I think it's something you think she might do.If that was her in the pics you would recognize whoever was next to her.Tha's just a fan in the audience with a similiar hairstyle.Elvis fans are an obsessive lot.If that was her you would have seen those photo's published all over the place.There are no photos of her at the special taping.
Jak

[presley31]

That is priscilla in the 68 comeback, there weren't to many woman who looked like priscilla.
BTW there are photos of her on other forums.

[Trev1]

Jak


Tend to agree with Jak folks :hmm:

[jak]

She is in these pics Jak, maybe you should ask her if she was there since you know everything.

I find youre snide remark quite distressing since I was only expressing my view on the subject.Didnt we all just agree to the terms of the board when we post?Why must you act like a spoiled brat?I dont know everything but that is not Priscilla in the photos you have posted.Many a fan who has forgotten more than you or I will ever know has poured over scrap of Elvis material available and they didnt make that discovery.You have lots to learn if youre willing to behave like an adult.
Jak

[presley31]

I'am sorry Jak that was abit rude, l deleted my post, l just get so tried of people putting down priscilla every chance they get and l took it out on you, so for that l'am sorry and l hope you can forgive me for being rude at you.

[jak]

I'am sorry Jak that was abit rude, l deleted my post, l just get so tried of people putting down priscilla every chance they get and l took it out on you, so for that l'am sorry and l hope you can forgive me for being rude at you.

That is quite allright.Just to clarify I wasnt putting her down at all.If anything I believe I am known as a "pro" Priscilla person on this board;)

[presley31]

Thank you jak

[riley]

Jak,

I didnt know that was a distinguishable habit of hers.I think it's something you think she might do.If that was her in the pics you would recognize whoever was next to her



end quote


that gesture she does it all the time, you know. Just look at one of her interviews for a few seconds.

It is stated in almost every book she was accompanied by 2 men, one was her hairdresser, one was her dance teacher.

The lady sits between two man, looks extremely like her in qua size, hair, features and manners and is accompanied by two men indeed.

What more can you want.

Look at the dvd , it is even cleared there.

Hi Riley! It is possible I suppose. BUt back in those days a lot of women wore their hair like that. The picture is still a bit blurred so its hard to say 100% :supriced:

[presley31]

it is a little hard to see, but we see her in those pics clear as a bell. She is sitting with some of the MM wives and dance teacher.

[jak]

If Im wrong I would be happy to admit to it.I just dont think it's her.Im quite confident about that.I dont see anybody next to her either I know either.I really think it's just a spectator.I do think if it was her the photo's would have been widely circulated over the years.Other than the guys on stage I have never seen a photo that depicts anybody from Elvis' inner circle in the audience.Im not saying she wasnt there,I just have never seen a photo.People far more knowledgable than us would have pointed it out long ago.
Jak

[Burning_Love]

I don't recgonise the people besides her but i think it's her even though that hair was popular then. But i know she did go to some concerts and i thought she would have gone to this one because it was the 'big comeback'. Maybe it's not her. But i thought i'd ask you lot for your opinions first !

[Diana]

Wow! That pictures are great! Thank you, I didn't know Cilla was there at all! Thanks:clap::clap::clap:

[Burning_Love]

That's Ok Diana ! Glad you liked them (y)

[samiam125]

Does anyone know if Priscilla would have been at the taping of the Bordello scene for the 68' Comeback Special?

I am thinking that perhaps not? after the way Elvis and Susan Henning were carrying on.

:blush:

I don't think she was, I read and heard that she was only there for the standup performances taping.:)

"Taking care of Business "giving to Mike Stone:lol::lol:

Elvis must have had a weird sense of humour;)

Yes Riley, I read the same thing.....

[Suzan]

phewww....lol...It would have been nice for her if she was there :P
:doh:

:) yeah...I didn't particularly care for that scene myself, I thought they could have done w/o that whole sequence. JMO :)

I read as well he was considering giving one to Stone but I find it hard to believe.

[ricardo b. prospero]

Isn't it ironic for Elvis to see his ex-wife with the man she was flirting with watching his show? It is like a big slap in the face of Elvis and a big insult. Priscilla really is an *** hole.

you don't need to swore. There younger fans on these boards.

[Rover]

Maybe I was half asleep, but I'm almost sure I heard a live performance where Elvis mentionned Priscilla. Something like "listen to this 'cilla"
Anybody knows in which song I could have heard that?

[tlcElvis]

The song is called 'It's Midnight' from the Desert Storm concert. You can listen to it here:

[Unchained Melody]

Thanks for posting these pictures.

Wish some photo's exist of her at Elvis' closing night at the Hilton in September '74..

[riley]

It amazes me too that she is hardly ever noticed or photographed at his concerts

[Diane]

I think Riley that the reason Priscilla was never photographed that much at concerts etc. was due to the Colonel's view on "all attention strictly on the money making machine"...you pay for extra.:)

Diane

[Getlo]

I've been observing this thread for some time now.

I'm with jak: it is not Cilla in the '68 shots. Those posters who said they read that she was there "in several books" ... which books? Did she mention this in Elvis & Me? Has she talked about being there in any interview? Anywhere?

And as for Mike Stone accompanying Cilla to an Elvis show in Vegas ... so far, not one person on here has come up with credible evidence. "I read that ..." or "I heard that ..."

Elvis would've killed Stone if he'd had the balls to turn up with Cilla, don't you think? And not even Cilla would've been that insensitive ... would she?

[Getlo]

I know for certain she did attend a show with him and that Elvis was terribly upset because I heard it mentionned several times by people who were part of his entourage or close friends

No, you don't.

What you know for certain is that someone told you this happened. You weren't there, so you do not know for certain.

And who are these people?

l agree about the mike stone being at one of elvis concerts. Elvis would indeed lost his mind.

Amazing. I get banned for using a three-letter abbreviation, yet you're still here after using the a-hole word to describe Cilla.

And you do not know of this is true or not, you're believing the rumours.

And, if it was true, why would it be "ironic"? :doh:

[Burning_Love]

Ok, this was just a nice topic. Please don't turn it into an argument pllleeassseee!

[Wendy56]

I guess Elvis needed a bit of support from his wife... :(

[Burning_Love]

Yeah Wendy, i think that too :D

[riley]

It was in the book child bride (her attending 68)
She talked about it in EBTP too

[Getlo]

It was in the book child bride (her attending 68)

That doesn't mean it's true.


She talked about it in EBTP too

Where exactly, do you - or anyone else - remember? Which section of the DVD? It's been a while since I watched it.

[Burning_Love]

Yeah i was wondering that Getlo !

[cameron]

IF we are expected to believe everything written about Elvis ; are we not to believe things written about Priscilla?

IF anyone has a book or a DVD being discussed , it might do us good to go read the book or watch the DVD ..before getting too excited about anything anyone says.

Better to keep things nice and friendly instead of reacting. IMO. :)

[Getlo]

IF we are expected to believe everything written about Elvis ; are we not to believe things written about Priscilla?

And when, madam, have I ever suggested anyone should believe everything written about Elvis?


Better to keep things nice and friendly instead of reacting. IMO. :)

Suggesting that just because it was written in Child Bride does not make it necessarily so is not being unfriendly in the least.

If anyone can remember where in EBTP Cilla talks about being in the audience in '68, please point me in the right direction, or please take the time if they can to watch it and let us all know. I won't have time to watch it for a while.

[presley31]

Its in the part introducing mrs elvis presley near the end

Okay, is that what the chapter's called? I'll try and have a look this weekend.

you have to look for yourself gelto, don't have the time to watch it.

[Tommy]

Amazing. I get banned for using a three-letter abbreviation, yet you're still here after using the a-hole word to describe Cilla.

And you do not know of this is true or not, you're believing the rumours.

And, if it was true, why would it be "ironic"? :doh:

Please stick to the subject matter, please discontinue the personal remarks.

Thank you.

She just talks about it...she doesn't actually mention being there....

And for those of you wondering 'bout the 'Bordello" sequence? Those scenes weren't in the original special when it aired on December 3, 1968.....

[Getlo]

She just talks about it...she doesn't actually mention being there....

Thank you, TT ... I couldn't play the link from this PC.

The mystery continues ...

You're right, Tony.She doesn't say she was there in person.
Maybe you have time to check the DVD ?

Cameron,

I just went to the link that was posted and watched the small portion of footage...I unfortunately don't have the DVD.

OK, thanks. Maybe someone can when they find the time.

[Getlo]

As opposed to what?

Either she was there, or she wasn't.

[presley31]

guess this one of the things you have to choose for youself. I saw it on elvis by the presleys.

priscilla is sitting in the top seats with joes wife.

[cameron]

I think my only question would be :
Why not ? I'd expect her to be there .;)

[Getlo]

priscilla is sitting in the top seats with joes wife.

The woman fiddling with her hair is sitting between two men.

And it could be anyone going by these pics.

[presley31]

believe what you like..

[Getlo]

believe what you like..

I always do ...

[Getlo]

Its in the part introducing mrs elvis presley near the end

Okay, so I watched that chapter as you suggested ... where does Cilla talk about being in the audience at the '68 Special????! ;)

I also checked the On Stage chapter. Nothing there.

And another viewing of the '68 stand-up shows with pausing it on my DVD player and zooming in confirms, in my eyes at least, that the woman in the audience is not Priscilla. The zoom gives greater clarity than screen grabs.

One thing that cannot be disputed though, is that the woman in question is sitting between two men.

[Johnny]

According to VH1's pop-up videos, the hand gesture that he does during the beginning of Love Me Tender is for Priscilla, so she must have been seated in the audience or at least somewhere thereabout ...it's the version where he "jokingly" messes up Love Me Tender with the line "you've made my life a wreck ...eerr complete"

[jak]

She may have been around somewhere but that is not her in those photo's.
Jak

[riley]

she is mentionned to have been there with her dance teacher Steven Peck and her hairdresser too.

Look at this pic of Steven Peck and then look at the man sitting next to her on her left.
Altough it stays a bit blurry I think there is a unmistakable ressemblance.

http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/1317/peckstevenkt6.th.jpg (http://img515.imageshack.us/my.php?image=peckstevenkt6.jpg)

Suzann Finstadd of the book Child Bride did IMO very good fieldwork and did interview hundreds of people who knew them or at lease knew Pris.

She was present and in EBTP she did not say literally I was there...

She said more something like ... It was reassuring to him we were there all present (something like that, don't know it by hearth)


If I have some extra time I'm going to look it up in other books, I'm pretty sure she is mentionned being there in more books too...

[Burning_Love]

Thanks Riley, yes that is an unmistakable resemblence !

I mean, there's no proof that's her, but then again there's no proof it's not.

IMO, it is her. Just the way she is chewing gum the whole way through it, and even on home movies she always has gum !! And after Elvis did a song, she weren't over reactive as the others around her.

[jak]

If Priscilla would have been photographed in the audience of this historic event it would have been brought to our attention long ago.
Jak

[riley]

it was never brought to our attention. I have a pic of her in Vegas when he is on the scene and it is photographed really by accident, because you only see her back... yet it is her too.
And perhaps it was mentionned she was there at the time in newspapers but those we don't have anymore.

Just look at her face, the delicate features, the high cheeckbones, her hair, her gesture with hands/hair, her chewing bubble gum and the guy next to her....

What more do we need to be almost certain that is her definately.

We need a FBI expert here to clear the pics, would be nice,
anyone...... LOL

No really I'm pretty convinced it is Pris

[jak]

A photo of Priscilla at a concert is no big deal.The 68 special is one of the most key events in his career and the history of rock.If it was her it would be common knowledge.There is no way around that.There is a new photo of bigfoot circulating right now as Im sure most have heard.It's actually a skinny bear with mange.See what I mean?
Jak

[riley]

But IT IS mentionned in books, Jak.
What more do you need???
It cannot be printed in blood or something either

[jak]

You mean to say that photo has been authenticated in a book?Which one?She may have been there but I dont think that's a photo of her.If I am wrong Im more than happy to admit it.No big deal.What book is that photo in?
Jak

[MissyM]

I lost tract of what the point was if she was or not. Can I buy a clue from someone here???

[jak]

There is no point.It's just entertaining banter.
Jak

[riley]

No the pic is not in a book to my knowledge , that is right.
I meant it is in books that she was present at the standing up show.

The pic came from some people who took screencaps.

But like I said Jak, I have one of her in Vegas, and it was never seen in a book either.
It is also a screencap but it is her also.

Like you said 68 was so special, the turning point in his career, one of his best performances, no book will stress on her being present or not IMO and the story behind it either

[MissyM]

Ok Jak, I'm 55 and I thought maybe it was a brain fart I had. Carry on!

In my opinion it's completely impossible that a known photo of her at the special would not be common knowledge.There is no way.That special has been picked apart piece by piece by people who's attention to every detail about Elvis would leave me and you in the dust.There is no way that is her in those photo's.Im guessing 80-90% of the females had the exact same hairstyle at the time.Everyone will think what they want.I just say apply some common sense to coming to a conclusion.After all these years you or somebody else just made this discovery of these pics?
Jak

[jak]

Ok Jak, I'm 55 and I thought maybe it was a brain fart I had. Carry on!

That's ok.At 55 Im sure you still have a few good years left before the brain farts become serious.
Jak

[presley31]

well l'am sure it is her in the 68 comeback, but thats my opinion.

[jak]

well l'am sure it is her in the 68 comeback, but thats my opinion.

If it's her I congratulate you on making this discovery.It only took nearly 40 years to find it!
Jak

[Burning_Love]

Jak..It's her opinion.

[jak]

Jak..It's her opinion.

I said everyone will believe what they want.What's the problem?
Jak

[presley31]

there is no problem we just have our opinions on priscilla being at the 68 comeback.

Sorry, i read it wrong lol..

Sorry, i thought it was sarcasm, but i read it wrong. My mistake :notworthy

Thanks P31 :hug: back :D

[Tommy]

Looks like her to me, and anyway to me it makes no difference whether she was there or not.

[Unchained Melody]

It looks like Cilla to me also Tommy..I know of alot of other fans who think its her also..imo it is..but like i said, just my opinion;).

[cameron]

I can't see well enough to tell if it's Priscilla.
You would think she would have been there, though.

But, like some....I don't really care or see that it matters .
There's plenty of other things we seem to disagree on about Elvis. ;)

[TLC67]

I don't care if she was there or not but in her book on page 272, continuing to page 273 she said of opening night in Vegas, "It was the first time I'd ever seen Elvis perform live." So if it was her in the background maybe it was just a dress rehearsal?

[cameron]

:hmm: If you mean ;Elvis and Me there's several things i'd disagree with her about that book.
It's not too important; to me anyway. As I've said , I never was interested in his wife or girlfriends . Just Elvis and his music. (y)

I can't keep all the stories about Elvis straight. :doh:

[presley31]

I really enjoyed elvis and me, but it doesn't really concern me if priscilla was at the 68 comeback.

[marina]

That Is Priscilla In Those Photos 500% Guaranteed......

[Getlo]

But IT IS mentionned in books, Jak.
What more do you need???

Elvis wore diapers the last few months of his life, and often soiled himself.

That was written in a book as well, riley.

It don't make it so!

[Getlo]

But like I said Jak, I have one of her in Vegas, and it was never seen in a book either.

Yes, and the stories of Cilla being in the audience at many shows has been well documented.

But no one in Elvis' circle has ever mentioned her being there. And nor has she.

Is someone here a member of her website? Maybe you can shoot her an email; you never know, she or someone may respond.

[Suzan]

Nope they don't respond to stuff like that, and as far as what I've read, they were @ home waiting for it to air on tv, I don't recall her saying she was there, though I have heard rumors she was in the audience.

[Getlo]

Okay, if you have a good DVD player, one with a zoom function, take another look. And turn the contrast and brightness so the face is emphasised.

It's not Cilla.

She may, however, have been there. But it's not her in the pics.

Peter Guralnick writes of the opening night in Vegas '69: "Joanie Esposito, who, like Priscilla, had up till now seen Elvis perform only at the taping of his television special ..." (Careless Love, page 351).

And yet ...


her book on page 272, continuing to page 273 she said of opening night in Vegas, "It was the first time I'd ever seen Elvis perform live." ?

The mystery deepens.


So if it was her in the background maybe it was just a dress rehearsal?

No, there was no dress rehearsal for the '68 shows, not with an audience present. The photos in this thread are from the actual stand-up shows.

[TLC67]

:hmm: Maybe she didn't consider the Special to be "live". I suppose she meant "in concert".
I know I have read more on her being at shows, particularly Vegas and I remember the story about her showing up with Mike and that E got physically ill when he saw them. It must have been in the "What Happened" book but I threw it in the trash. So does anyone else have a copy that can look and see?
Then again...consider the source.

There was nothing in elvis what happend about priscilla having mike at elvis concert. They praise her in that book which is quite shocking compared to what they say now.

[MissyM]

I love a good mystery. It does look like her to me. Hope we find out, just because, I love a good mystery!!!

[TLC67]

:huh: Oh well...I give up for now. If I ever run across it in the future I will post it.
I don't think they realized how Pris really felt about them until after Elvis died. What they say now may be in retaliation over things that she said. I think they were okay with her until then.
And...it looks like her to me, too.('68)

[MissyM]

Unspoken rule, No one bad-mouths Pricilla, it's that simple.

[Burning_Love]

Like i said before, i personally think it's her.

[Getlo]

I remember the story about her showing up with Mike and that E got physically ill when he saw them.


Again, this never happened.

Once the affair was out in the open, Stone and Elvis never crossed paths again.

[riley]

quote Missy

end quote


was that one of his rules , Missy

It shows Elvis was a man with lots of integrity.
He sure did that also because Pris was the mother of his child.

But I often wonder how he really tought of her deep in his hearth??

[presley31]

I think he was hurt like any normal men that has been cheated and lied too.

[Getlo]

I think he was hurt like any normal men that has been cheated and lied too.


Which is hypcritical when you consider he cheated on her and lied to her as well, both before and during their marriage.

He wasn't hurting because he was cheated on: he was hurting because of the end result of the infidelity.

It was more of an ego blow to him. The King didn't get his own way, and he sulked about it for years.

[Burning_Love]

He was hurt because he loved her and his ego was hurt too. IMO.

[presley31]

He was hurt because he loved her and his ego was hurt too. IMO.

l agree(y)

[Donut]

If he loved her so much he would have wanted to have her around when he was working at least from time to time and not looking for feminine company all the time. It seems like he used to do that whenever he was out.
To me that´s not respect and love for your partner however you look at it, you can give it the turns that you want.

Elvis did that with everyone he was with:hmm:

[Burning_Love]

I still think he loved her. IMO.

[Donut]

Well, we all have different concepts of love and respect then...
It´s true he did that to every woman he was with but that doesn´t change the fact that that´s not love. That´s egocentric and disrespecful and has very little to do with being in love. Maybe he was in love at the beginning of his relationships with them and it used to pass for him soon, probably because he soon realized he could get his way with all of them easily and as Getlo said Priscilla´s action came as a surprise to him after all that time gettting his way with women.
That´s my opinion.

[Burning_Love]

Yes Donut, we do have different concepts of love and respect. :D

This thread is about Cilla at his concerts, not the state of the marriage.

Yup! I tried saying that on another thread to no avail. :(

I've heard mixed reports some say she was in Memphis (pregnant w/Lisa and not venturing far) and not at the show, and others saying yes she was there for the standup show only.

[riley]

by the time the special was made, wasn't Lisa born yet????

[Suzan]

by the time the special was made, wasn't Lisa born yet????

Yup...:lmfao: hence why I tend to think she could very well have been there.

[*LittleSister1981*]

Lisa was born Feb 1st and the Special was filmed in June,it's Cilla 4 sure in the audience.

[riley]

I think so too

[LovesElvis]

sure looks like her
