What a FANTASTIC looking exhibit!! :clap:

Kudos to Graceland for commemorating the 40th anniversary of ELVIS ON TOUR with such a great looking display! And I have to agree that the rotating platforms for the jumpsuits are an OUTSTANDING addition...hopefully they will do that with all of the jumpsuits on the regular tour as well!! :hmm:

Now let's hope that RCA/Sony/FTD/Time Warner follows suit and releases some great unreleased stuff for the 40th anniversary celebration of ELVIS ON TOUR as well!! ;)

TCB!

Me too. All of the new exhibits sound neat, it doesn’t take much to impress me with Elvis though, I get goose bumps with any Elvis artifacts. But I do hope they are new items never before seen.

the white fireworks jumpsuit and cape IS new!
Has been in a private collection these ast decades. So probably on loan just for this exhibit.
