Have you ever wondered... where Elvis Presley's famous stage outfits came from, or how they got to be the trademark of Elvis on stage in the 1970s? Here you will find all these spectacular suits and jumpsuits, along with the special belts made for each of them. fully documented.
From where or whom came these creative ideas, and who made the outfits? Which outfit did Elvis wear during the different concerts? Which jumpsuit did he wear most times? Which belt did Elvis appreciate the most? Where are the jumpsuits today?
All these questions are answered here.
You will also find a full survey of Elvis' concert years in the 1970s. After many years of making movies in Hollywood he was back to be the biggest live entertainer this world has ever seen. Read about his many triumphs and disappointments through the mid-seventies until his untimely death in 1977.
See how the typical jumpsuits developed from the very plain white ones in the beginning of 1970 to the much more spectacular outfits with rhinestones end costume jewels in the years to come.
It all started with a phone call to costume designer Bill Belew in the summer of 1968.
A stand-alone version of 'Amen' from the Omaha concert, originally sung after 'Love Me', has been edited in with 'I Got A Woman' (CD1, track 2), which doesn't work at all, as Elvis' later comments about it don't make sense now!
Ronnie Tutt's drum solo is edited out of the 'Introductions' (CD2, track 12) at the Las Vegas concert, as the tape was being turned over while the sound engineer recorded the show, so was incomplete.
