Elvis ripping jumpsuit question
How many times did Elvis rip his jumpsuit during his career while performing. I know he ripped his jumpsuit while playing in Cincinnati while kneeling down, but did this happen any other time?

I believe he did it during his first New Year's Eve concert December 31, 1975. I heard that he did it there but I am not for sure.Originally Posted by elvisfan4life

Well I know he ripped his jumpsuit in Cincinnati because my dad was at the show but I was just wondering if this happened to him at any other time in his career while performing. I just wondering what was going thru Elvis' mind at the time......

Elvis ripped his pants all the time. It happened at least one time during the rehearsal of TTWII. It happened several times in Las Vegas in 1971 and 1972 while he was wearing two-pieces. It also happened during the November tour of 1972 in San Bernadino. It happened in Memphis in 1975 and several other occasions that already has been mentioned. Most of the times Elvis just made a joke about it.
Not only did he rip his pants during the New Year's Eve concert, he did so in front of about 60000 people at the Silverdome.
I have seen the footage of that Cincinnati concert in 1976,and he cover his ripped pants with a towel
And just like Leroy said,he ripped it also during the rehearsals of TTWII
I'd like to go to Graceland
Memphis,Tennessee
Yeah I saw the same thing Elvishimselvis. Was quiet entertaining. But had to be pretty embarassing for Elvis.I have seen the footage of that Cincinnati concert in 1976,and he cover his ripped pants with a towel
