During his January/February 1971 Las Vegas
engagement the “Gold
Attendance Belt”
made its stage debut. He even went as far as wearing
this unusual belt on the 1970
“Concho’s
Suit”
during a Lake Tahoe performance in July 1971. A most
remarkable combination. He wore the “Gold
Attendance Belt” on so many suits
throughout 1971 and 1972 that one might wonder if
for some of these suits ever an original belt was
designed. However, before that Elvis did send the
belt away to do some rework and add some stones to
it. See the invoice on which you can see what had to
be done on the belt before it could carry away
Elvis’ satisfaction.
