    .

    Cool pics, but there is no way to prove one way or the other that they are from July 31st.

    And the first pic (walking down the hall with Charlie) is definitely not from July 31st, and is in fact not from a performance time. The suit Elvis is wearing is chocolate brown. I think the pic is in the galleries in colour (?).

    Love that picture where Elvis is looking into a car and his reflection is showing back on the glass.

    I will never forget you Rosanne.

    I agree...

    Nevertheless, some cool photos indeed.

    Remember, we do have a very nice photo gallery where you can place gems like this

    The live photos are definitely not from the 31st July. On opening night, as far as I know, Elvis wore a black 2 piece suit like the one worn later for the press conference. The following links show the suit worn on opening night :

    Could be that one or more of these photos were shot on opening night. Who knows?

    I read somewhere (can't find the article at the moment) that a reporter (female) reported after this press conference that "he looked thin as a rail and handsome as 10 movie stars." I guess that about sums it up for me!!!! I've seen these pictures on this site and occasionally when I need a little smile, I always find myself back there.....that was of course before I discovered this site with its 40,000 plus pictures!!!!
