as we all know the original cape made for the aloha show was a lot longer and to heavy for elvis to use for the actual show a copy of the cape can be seen in this video at about 1.45

does anybody out there know what happened to it after it was sold by the estate in 2000?? also is there anyone who has a picture of it from when it was on display on an entire wall in Graceland
I'd love to know the answer too, if anyone knows?
I liked the video, thanks, great to hear Gene & Bill talking about Elvis like that
:-)
This clip is from the great DVD Fit for A King
I have seen this before and was very upset with EPE for selling off this amazing piece of artwork. Big mistake on their part.(n)
Here's a pic

Some other pics HERE
I wish I had the pictures to share
I was at Graceland in 1987 and had only 4 rolls of film with me - and the 4th roll, when I was in the costume and hallway of all the gold and platinum awards, didn't wind up properly and didn't go through the camera
It seems that Graceland was a bit different in 1987
the picture that I really regret not having was of a huge award that RCA gave Elvis for a Billion sales worldwide
It stood about 5 feet high, had 10 platinum records along the top, and had the text about his incredible sales on the award face.
Was it this? Or sort of like it.Quote:
