Elvis looking GREAT in 1974-1977!
Here’s some pictures of Elvis from 1974-1977.
Elvis is The King!
Awesome pics, thanks!
the one you have labeled June 26, 1977 - are you sure? that looks nothing like he did in 77. Great pics though - thanks!
The first one is great!
Goodbye Rosanne...Your "family" in TCB will always remember you.
By no means it's difficult to find pictures from 1974 where ELvis looked great. Even from 1975 (until the autumn) it's quite easy: Elvis was still healthy, though becoming slightly overweight. But finding pictures from 1976/1977 where he actually looked healthy/good/great is much difficult.
I can imagine that lots of women may find him very sexy/attractive during those final 2 years, but compared to the years before the final two, they have to admit it's a big step back.

You really don't think so? In what way(s)?Originally Posted by ksimms2
There are in my opinion a number of flattering pictures from '77. And most of the pictures I have seen from Elvis' last two shows are actually pretty good, considerably better than he looked in Omaha and Rapid City.
But the photo you reference I can say with near certainty was indeed snapped during the final show by Bob Heis.
...you won't forget me when I go.
I think that the one listed as, June 26 1977 was from 1974. Not unless it was a certain angle that made his bloating look better. I see the two buttons on the Jumpsuit that indicates it is 1977. Just confused.
There are no rings, so it is not from Lake Tahoe, 1974. It is definitely from the final tour - where he wore no rings.
This pic is from Tahoe, 74. Note the ring.

I thought the EXACT same thing Kelly. It looks like the pics of him in that suit in 74...
The photo in question in, indeed, from June 26, 1977.
Agreed Albert. In my imagination...it's always 1970.
Interesting..To me, that looks nothing like EIC. Did his appearance change that much in a matter of days??
Getlo....why did he not wear rings? Is it because of swelling?
Interesting..
It looks nothing like EIC because it's not EIC. Yes, his appearance did change that much in five days....
IMO, I think Elvis's looks were much better here than during the filming of EIC just a few days earlier....
Yep. That was certainly known to happen with him, plus there was the matter of bad makeup for the special, which made his features seem odd.
Here are a few more from Indy.
...you won't forget me when I go.
I know it's not EIC...that's my point. I have never seen anyone whose looks can change over a period of days, as his were always doing near the end. And...yes, I agree. He looks like...well....Elvis
Hadn't really thought about it. Maybe he was just tired of wearing them ...
I also should've said he wore no rings for the majority of shows during the final tour, too.

The most dramatic change can be seen (at least to me) in pics from the February, 77 tour where he looked absolutely horrible on February 12th but just a week or so later in Charlotte, NC he looked much better....
Yeh...I have seen those. In some of those he doesn't even resemble himself. He looks like some of the ETA's I've seen.
I would suggest the change was even quicker than that.
February 12, 1977, Hollywood Florida - the absolute worst he ever looked. On this night, he defined the Fat Elvis image. A shambles. A wreck. He shouldn't have been on stage.
February 13, 1977 - West Palm Beach Florida - he looked far better the following night.
But by the 15th in Orlando, he looked like hell again. And for the rest of the tour ... average at best.
