Hmmm ... or could it be that the lists we have of what costumes Elvis wore are inaccurate?
As for
See See Rider on that DVD, let me ask you if you've considered the fact that the footage only shows
one angle (light blue backing groups suits) from Detroit very briefly walking up to the mic stand, then meshes in with San Antonio (dark blue backing suits as seen in
On Tour, various angles).
That raises the
possibility that Detroit was only filmed with one camera, as like Buffalo. Also, the Detroit one-angle footage is dubbed with sound from San Antonio. So, if it was filmed
properly by MGM, why hasn't any footage with sound surfaced over the years - like the footage from all four of the "officially filmed" shows?
The same question applies to the other shows you say were filmed, eg Jacksonville etc. Where is the footage?
For those that haven't seen what Elvislennon is talking about

Also, several other locations were filmed backstage, at hotels, in limos etc. The footage here shows Elvis backstage in Detroit (his hair has more of a fringe than when he walks on stage in what we know to be San Antonio); then it shows him walking on stage in San Antonio; then back to Detroit again briefly from one angle (with the little counter at the bottom again) then the San Antonio version of
See See Rider.
So it's a distinct possibility that the same one camera in Detroit followed him to the stage and kept filming (the light blue backing suits footage). There is
no evidence that Detroit was filmed properly (ie more than this one camera) by MGM - unless there is more footage from other DVDs?
And why is it that the books you are reading are any more correct than the ones I have?
All of these reference books have mistakes.
I shall be very interested when the DVD of
On Tour eventually comes out, and to see what EPE puts in it.
