    Providence 1974

    Hi guys, I saw these photos on ebay, saying that they were from Providence 1974. When I looked on the databases, I found that Elvis was supposed to have wear the inca leaf gold on the afternoon and the peacock on the evening show. What do you think?

    The databases say Elvis wore the Inca in the afternoon, and the Peacock in the evening.

    However, newspaper reviews of the evening show report Elvis wore a "white suit with a sequined bird in flight, a glittering wing on either side of his chest. It is the same outfit he wears in the poster 'suitable for framing' which Presley's advance man urges the audience to buy".

    (From the Providence Sunday Journal, June 23, 1974).

    Unfortunately, there is no picture accompanying the review.

    Perhaps the reviewer got the two-wing thing wrong, but the Peacock was the one featured in the poster mentioned.

    As for these photos here, it's a little hard to tell, but it's the Blue Rainbow suit.
