In 2002 there was a television documentary that aired in Australia called "Elvis: the last days and the resurrection" hosted by Angela Bishop that i recorded. In the documentary there was this really cool photo of him that I hadn't seen before. The photo is a above shoulder shot of him looking at the camera taken in around late 72 [my best guess]. His hair is really gelled over to the side ,his wearing his classic big frame glasses with pinkish lenses. His wearing a black jacket or top with a white shirt that has a high collar. A side view of a guy with a mustache [Dave hebler?] is in the background. Does anyone know of this photo and wear can I see it online. Your help would be appreciated, Thank you.

Hi _Elvis_,thank you for replying. Unfortunately this is not the one. I would like to really emphasis about his hair in the photo I'm referring to, It is full full of gel and is combed over to the side. For me, I don't think I have seen another photo from the 70's were he has this much gel in his hair. He even kidded about giving up that greasy kid stuff in the Madison Square Garden press conference,well he obviously hadn't hahaha. This photo looks a lot later than 72. A few things are correct though,he is wearing the glasses and the white high collar shirt,and the black,dark blue jacket. But this isn't an above shoulder,close range shot and he isn't looking at the camera and the mustache guy [dave hebler?] is in front of Elvis and not hidden behind him. Also Elvis is standing in front of a black wall or board [i should have stated that,but didn't], Where is he, I don't know? Backstage maybe,however that is a really rough guess. P.S I really appreciate you trying to help me find this little treasure.

P.S _Elvis_ How could this possibly be from 1972, the Lisa Marie jet is the background lol. This photo is from 75 or onwards. Kcya

Oops I made a few mistakes in the post,arrghh so frustrating. Elvis is standing infront a light brownish wall or board not black. The guy in the background i don't think has a mustache ,it's hard to tell there is a large group of yellow flowers covering half his face. I made this mistake because I recorded this show on a cheap VHS and the image qlty is pretty poor. Elvis kinda has a half smile and the glasses his wearing are the same as the photo above.
