Apologies for the error in this Jumpsuit being posted twice :blush: I tried to merge the two threads and lost both, so here is the definitive and only thread.

Thank you Matt. Much better. Maybe you can also take a look at the tread of the "Black Fireworks". There's a picture of the "Black Matador" on the first page.

I think it would be good to update the whole jumpsuit section a little bit. You know, like some of the threads may have "wrong" titles... like, change the Apache jumpsuit to Nail Swirl, since that is the original/real name for that jumpsuit. Stuff like that... What do you think? Matt?:)

I have done some updating........ but some of the names are long standing and are the names people will look for on the Jumpsuit Section!

I will perhaps change them and add (aka) so that people will know.

Las Vegas, NV. August 1973.

This " Elvis Summer Festival " engagement started on August 6th and ended on September 3rd.

The opening show was very good and Elvis tried some new songs that night, among them were a medley of " Trouble/Raised On Rock "and a full version of " Memphis Tennessee ". It seems that Elvis didn't think this medley was really interesting as he left out " Raised On Rock " on the following shows and kept only " Trouble ".

Elvis had new jumpsuits for that engagement and the one in the photo above is possibly one of them, still it's possible that it was worn in February '73 or at Lake Tahoe in May '73. Photographs of that suit are quite rare and this one is often being referred as the " Amber jumpsuit ".
