Reminds me of the mask that guy was wearing in that home video shot of a party that took place around the time of the filming of King Creole--might have been the wrap party, or somebody's (Elvis'?) birthday party.

[Captain Elwood David]

Most likely ........... "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" ............... when EP has the spotlight on his back and quickly turns around to show his face (same as seen on TTWII SE).

EP having some fun during concerts, something he always did.

- "When it ceases to be fun, .... we will stop doing it."

- EP

In some respects, words to live by.


- Capt. "EL."

Sorry for asking, but what book are you talking about?
From what i have read, he did this more than one time, so i would not put any date on that picture, but if you have a book that have this picture with the date you gave us, i understand you :hmm:
Come to think of one thing : yesterday i took one of Standly brothers book`s to read a little on the bed, it had some nice pictures from Vegas february 1970, under the picture it says "on tour 1972-1973" it`s funny, i wonder how could they do a misstake like that :blink:
I belive you buttonhead, but it is so much wrong about dates on pictures, and im just a guy that want the right date :wiggle:
