Hello: If you can find the Paul Lichter book: The Boy Who Dared to RocK, I believe he lists all of Elvis'performances in the back.

[debtdbruno]

someone will definitely know the accuturate number..................I think it's over 1100

[asian1]

Hi again, a co=worker of mine says that Elvis performed 353 concerts since 1969. HIs last concert was on July 26, 77 in Indianapolis, IN at the Market Square Arena.
He seems to be certain of his facts but he will double check.

Iv always thought it was around 1187. as debtdbruno said theres bound to be someone on here who knows exactly.

[asian1]

With regards to the above concert information, my co - worker mentioned that the number he gave me reflected the number of different concerts and not the total number of shows he perfomed. For example: in 1970, Elvis had an engagement at the International Hotel from Jan 26 - Feb 23. Elvis sometimes performed 2- 3 times in one night. He then had another engagement at the International Hotel from Aug 10 - Sept 7, performing more than once in a single night.

1147............that's from elvisconcerts.com

[asian1]

1147 ! when did he have time for himself? The toll it must take on someone is incredible.

[debtdbruno]

....therein lies his problem.....................

Too many is probably the right answer when considering the star's health and wellbeing

In the book "Elvis the Concert Years" it says that he had 1122 concerts from 31.July 1969 to 26. June 1977. The book also have a list over where and when the concerts was, how many people watching, name on the arena, witch suit he used, songs he did on each tour....
The book is EXELENT!

The number I've seen used quite often is 1,108.

In any case, you guys are right....that is WAY too many shows during an 8 1/2 year period. Once again just more proof of how little The Colonel cared about Elvis during the final years of his life!!!

TCB!

The book may be 'excellent' but the book has many errors. The most factual account of the total number of concerts Elvis performed can possibly be found in the out-of-print book, "Elvis - His Life From A To Z", because there is a section in the book that lists all the concert dates from 1954-1977. So....if you take those 1950s shows and add them to the list, that is still way too dang many shows.

[TCBDavid]

to be fair though i wasnt looking for any of the concert dates before 1969 only after

concerts tours keep him away from lazy unhealthy life style and mostly when he was at home his abuse increase all the time look at end of the 1976 he seems to be he could comeback lot of hopes due the worst year of his life (health wise) and than He look terrible first tour of 1977.

1977 He has no las vegas concerts anymore but it get worse and worse (same thing happened 1971)

He had to be busy but good organize schedule without boring same places in south but biger places biger crowds new directions may keep him awake.
December 28, 1976 (8:30 pm) Dallas, TX.

February 12, 1977. (8:30 pm) Hollywood. FL. (only 45day later)

I think the jumpsuits made his weight look worse.
When you look at the last holiday in Hawaii in March...........he doesn't look bad at all.

Definitely a good point Deb!!

Unfortunately, the jumpsuit was part of the "Elvis Image" so I highly doubt that he would have gotten rid of them. But like you said, had Elvis changed his stagewear to something a little more forgiving, he probably wouldn't have looked nearly as heavy as he did in the last couple years of his life.

TCB!
