    Cape and Belt

    Besides Aloha how many times did Elvis give away the cape and belt?
    "When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was a hero in the movie. So every dream that I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times. I learned very early in life that without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend; without a song. So I keep singing a song." - Elvis Presley

    He never gave the cape and belt away until during Aloha. Sometimes in 1972 he would take a belt off then put it back on the suit before the end of the show...

    Oh, Ok thanks! I would love to have seen the Col's reaction when he threw the belt and cape away during Aloha.

    I would have rather loved to have seen Vernon's reaction than Parker's cuz that meant that (possibly) another cape would have to be made....which would cost more $$$.

    I wonder what Charlie and the rest of the band thought when he threw it into the audience??

    I think that he gave the belt and cape of thunderbird suit away in some concert '73 to the boy who was in the audience that night.There's pics of the boys "treasures" in the internet.

    *sorry for my bad English*
