    This is a cool suit, I like this one ... isn't there footage with this suit on one of the Behind the image DVD's?

    Yes there is Paulie.

    It's on volume two.

    It's only about a minute long but so fantastic!!
    It's from Vegas 74 and it shows Elvis coming on and leaving the stage,he also let the curtain go up again so everyone can see the back up band,and after that,he runs away very fast. ..cool footage!!

    I have always like this jumpsuit. About 20 years ago, I was lucky enough to get my hands on some superb 8mm footage of Elvis in this suit. It is from Las Vegas in 1974 and is much better than the footage that is show in Behind The Image 2. I was stationed in Germany at the time and received this concert footage from Paul Lichter (believe that or not). At the time, it was some of the best I'd ever seen.

    Anyone have any idea what's going on in the scenes on the brass plaques on Elvis' belt here? His suits and the belts were so packed with detail that undoubtedly wasn't seen in person and that's hard to pick out on photos. This is true of even the more 'common' suits, but especially so of the less commonly worn (or photographed) ones.

    Amazing stuff. This suit's (suits, really) one of my favorites of all time, I think.

    Thank you Leroy you are always around to help out. How did you learn so much about Elvis. You are a wonderful resource and a great friend to us all at TCB.

    Anyway why are all the suits listed under the same name, if there not the same suit?
    It's hard to differentiate between the two Jumpsuits and with a lack of known dates it made sense to put them both in the same heading

    Thank you Leroy for the Information

    Did he wear the same belt for both suits?? Any chance of someone scanning the pictures of the different stones and posting them on here? Its got my curiosity going. Its a beautiful suit.

    Wow, these are great pictures. To me this is a beautiful suite, I think Elvis looked excellent in, although there isn't many pictures of him in it, it is still a great suite Certainly a #10 .
