Key days in Elvis' life that landed on your birthdate

[Joe Car]

Looking at Getlo's "Holy Grail" thread reminded me of two historic days in EP's life that landed on my birthdate, which is on Oct 3, not giving the year!:)

The first being Oct 3/1942, a seven year old Elvis singing Old Shep at the Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy show.

The second, Oct 3/1977, the day Elvis In Concert was shown on tv!

What are some key moments in Elvis' life that happen to fall on your birthdate?

On my second birthday Elvis gave his last performance in Lake Tahoe, and offhand I believe that was his longest concert on record (if that's wrong, then it's the second or third longest for sure). I'll have to give that one a listen...

And this one's a stretch but when I was two days old Elvis gave a couple shows in L.A., one of these being where and when he performed a great rendition of the ultra-rare You Can Have Her.

So when was I born? :D

[Elvis and Johnny]

On my second birthday Elvis gave his last performance in Lake Tahoe,...

So when was I born? :D

Elvis’ last performance in Lake Tahoe was on May 9, 1976.

So if you were 2 years old, that makes your Birthday May 9, 1974.

Am I correct?

Indeed you are!

Funny. I can sort of relate...My wife's birthday is January 16. We've been together for almost 15 years and I must confess that at least a couple times I got her birthday and Elvis's mixed up! Fortunately I realized my error (or she called me on it rather) before it got so far as my trying to celebrate her birthday on the 8th. :P

I know, I should be ashamed.
