    Wow, it's amazing how great he looked, isn't it?? I yell at my mom all the time for not taking me to see him when he was here. I could have been part of that Rockin' New Years Eve experience!!!!!!!!!! :twisted:

    I love this one, which I saw for the first time when I got the FTD. Does anyone have the photo without the CD thingie in front of it?

    Got it from Kenny's great site, BTW.

    Hey great pictures there Unchained.

    If I'd had them at the time I would have liked to have included one or two of them in this cover when I was working on it...............

    Talking info

    You wouldnt believe the stunning picture available of pittsburgh.I have some but a couple there ron i aint seen so thanks.

    OFF TOPIC A LITTLE:

    did you know what this suit was meant to be? if so you probably should stop reading but for those who dont read on...

    Elvis was gaven a set of pictures for a suit his designer had made up.While browing the pictures he had the designers on the phone.He looked at the picture of the suit and said 'heh,the birds feet look strange '.The designers looked at each other in total confusion.They picked up a set of the pictures to see what elvis meant .

    It took awhile but they realised what the problem was ,elvis had looked at the pictures up side down .The design was not that of a bird it was meant to be a zebera.However elvis kinda took to the look of the bird and there after he had many various designs put together.

    The most intresting thing is next time you look at a picture of the phoenix suit,turn it upside down and you can see the zebera design.Its hard to notice at first but after a while of staring you will notice two zeberas looking towards each other .

    I thought that was a great story and just like big E .Hope you enjoyed this useless info i will now go .

    Never heard that one!

    Sure as heck, the zebras are as plain as day!

    However, the image on the back of the suit, not being split down the middle, would not look like two zebras. So presumably, if the story is true, Elvis was looking at a sketch of the front of the suit--which I'm not trying to say is unlikely.

    One of you guys ought to create the Zebra Suit.

    Thumbs up its true

    when elvis said he liked the bird look better they then made few adjustments to the suit thats maybe why the zeberas aint as obvious.However you can still see the zeberas and it would be very cool to see if someone could attempt a remake of the suit

    Yep. That's a great story. It also would be cool to see the design as Elvis saw it.
