Hi Guys,
Just thought I'd give a mention to mark the 28th Anniversary of Elvis' Final Concert at the Market Square Arena, Indianapolis, Indianna - June 26th, 1977.
It was also on this day two years later - June 26th, 1979 that Elvis' Father, Vernon sadly passed away.
Anybody got any photos from Elvis' Final show that they can upload in this thread?
Plus, has anybody got any photos of Vernon they can upload?
Cheers Guys,
NEA.
Here you go....(y)
June 26th, 1977.
Elvis & Vernon
Indianapolis, Indianna - 28th Anniversary.
'The Last Farewell' Concert.
Circa 1974 & Circa 2002.
At 8:30pm before a sold-out 18,000 strong crowd at Indianapolis' Market Square Arena on June 26th, 1977 Elvis performed the final show on his current tour and what sadly turned out to be the final show ever in his life.
Elvis wore his beloved Mexican Sundial Suit and the following set-list made up the overall final concert:
Also Sprach Zarathustra
See See Rider
I Got A Woman/Amen
Love Me
Fairytale
You Gave Me A Mountain
Jailhouse Rock
It's Now Or Never
Little Sister
TeddyBear/Don't Be Cruel
Please Release Me
I Can't Stop Loving You
Bridge Over Troubled Water
[band introductions]
Early Morning Rain
What'd I Say
Johnny B. Goode
I Really Don't Want To Know
Hurt
Hound dog
Can't Help Falling In Love
Closing vamp
Maybe come the 30th Anniversary of this concert we will all have our very own copies to listen to on a Follow That Dream CD release?
Who knows....
The Farewell.
Great pictures, thanks for the reminder of this historic show!
His vocal on Bridge Over Troubled Water is worth owning this for. Although it is an audience recording, his performance is stunning! I'll sometimes put it on just for that track.

I got a picture of Vernon and Lisa taken a few days after Elvis died. It was taken in front of Vernon's home. I will post it up on here later on.

I like the end of the video. he sort of hangs out a bit like he doesn't want to leave. Anyway, I got both of these on ebay about a year ago. Hope this helps.
Thank you, it helps a lot!(y) Thank you for answering.:notworthyQuote:

Ok, like I promise. Here is a picture taken in front of Vernon's home just after Elvis passed away. Now you really can't really tell but in the back seat of his car is Lisa Marie. I hope you like it. I put the web address to my forum over the picture so sorry about that.
