Is one of my fav too

Madison Square Garden 1972

1972 Madison Square Garden

It looks to be from Tulsa, Oklahoma--the same show where the cover where the "Good Times" album was shot.

All these pics are from 18th June 1972, Fort Worth.

In Tulsa he was wearing the White Two Piece Suit with patterned blue shirt.

I really like the Porthole suit. Actually, I like all the suits he wore at Madison Square Garden.

In bouth shows Elvis was wearing the Porthole Suit but different capes (10.6 red & 11.6 gold inside the cape)

There is only one version of the cape: the red lined cape. On some of the black and white pictures it seems to be gold inside, but it is red.

But to my knowledge only photos of Elvis wearing the red cape version do excist. In some photos Elvis is wearing his belt in the wrong direktion and in others he is not wearing a belt it all. Any infos?

It is the same belt on both shows. It is the belt of the White Pinwheel Suit that matches with the Double Porthole Suit.
On the 11th June show he took off the belt during the show. Near to the end he put it on again, but in the wrong way. That's all.
So you can say the pictures he is wearing no belt or the belt is in the wrong direktion are from 11th June 1972.


Elvis used the Double Porthole Suit again on 18th June 1972, Fort Worth and sometimes in Las Vegas August/ September 1972. Possible the dates were
- 22. August 1972, Dinner Show
- 02. August 1972, Midnight Show in combination with the russian eagle belt.

That actually looks to be from a completely different show judging by the Shure 57 mic (?) that he's using. It looks to be from Tulsa, Oklahoma--the same show where the cover where the "Good Times" album was shot.

Tony is right: This was not taken at MSG.

You can find a complete concert list in the book "The Concert Years" (Skar), but nobody has a complete Jumpsuit list of Vegas or Tahoe - impossible!
