I got 3 scarves from Elvis during 2 different concerts... One was the last concert he gave in Indy, June 26,77.. I know for a FACT they did NOT sell the same scarves Elvis gave out at his concerts!! Elvis's scarves were large 33 by 33, and the edges were folded over twice, super nice scarves.. Elvis knew how to hold them and throw them perfect to you, or he would ever soooo slowly hand them to you as the crowd went crazy. Elvis was an amazing showman!! More than that a beautiful man.
Thanks for that information, however, I was told by Al Dvorin. himself, that there were times when the stage scarves weren't available so he sometimes used the souvenir scarves.
Elvis on Tour and Elvis in Concert were the greatest events! I saw Elvis in 76 and I bought a blue scarf and a souvenir photo album at the souvenir stand.
Thank you awesome job Yes ELVIS PRESLEY just human like all us He try so hard keep his fans happy that why we lost him so young thank you ELVIS PRESLEY You are BEST NEVER FORGET YOU TCB still going on 2021
The belt buckle came out on the last tour. You can see it being offered for sale at the merchandise table on the CBS television special. After Elvis died…a company got a hold of the mold and made a tribute buckle. Those have 1935 -1977 engraved on them. The originals were priced at $10 on the last tour…the price of a ticket.
Hey Robert I just had to comment again 😊 I just finished up rewatching all of these videos and 2nd time around they are just as great. And your comment about Elvis and his sex look still cracks me up. I'm really looking forward to Episode 11, you do such an amazing job and I love learning about Elvis memorabilia and his music. ⚡TCB⚡
Ahhh, thank you, Adriane. I never thought the day would come when I did a show that someone would binge-watch. Episode 11 is in the works and should be premiering in about a week. Thank you for watching! TCB!
Great show as always Robert so packed with info, I loved it and you always leave me looking forward to the next one. I have the Blue Suit cover Tour Photo Album that was inserted with later releases of Worldwide 50 Gold Award Hits, Vol. 1 and it is just like the one you showed in this episode saying Tour Photo Album 😊
Yeah, actually after filming the show I remembered that the blue suit book was actually found in the 1971 reissues of the 50 Worldwide Gold Award Hits box set, which had the flexible vinyl records. The first book went with the first pressing box that had the rigid vinyl records. TCB
Hi Bob! The tour album with Elvis in the Peacock suit was from 1974 or 1975. The cover photo was taken in Los Angeles on May 11, 1974 (afternoon show).
Robert the one photo album that you showed right before the blue photo album with the star framing Elvis on the front cover it came from the Album called Elvis in Hollywood. The book was an insert with that album.
Bob, the tour book that came with the box set , Elvis in Blue, are 2 different ones. One bottom left wrote Tour Photo Album, the other reads Souvenir Photo Album, Do have both. Another great show.
The scarves that Elvis wore onstage were the same ones that were sold at the stands…the reason they look narrower is because that's the way they were folded long ways to go around Elvis' neck. The signature scarves show up on the March 1974 tour at the stands. The first time we see Elvis wearing the signature scarves is May of 1974 in Tahoe. My friend Mike Kurosky will soon have a detailed series on all the types of scarves that Elvis wore. Type in his name and you can see the teaser video.
Not according to Charlie Hodge. But I'm not ruling out anything. I've met fans over the years who got stage scarves from Elvis (in the early tour years) that did not have the facsimile autograph. I'm sure when he ran out of the stage scarves he used the souvenir ones too. Like I said, lots of controversy. Who really knows unless you were there. I'll check out the video. Thanks!
@@collectingtheking I know and my friend that is doing the documentary knows. Elvis wore both the stamped signature scarves and the ones without the signature. One can see both versions in the CBS television special. Like I said above…the signature scarves first show up in 1974…Elvis would continue wearing both versions until June 26 1977. Google Elvis Sahara May 1974 and one can see Elvis wearing a rounded corner signature scarf.
Elvis' scarves were about 33" by 33", folded to look skinny. I have the one he wore on May 2, 1977 in Chicago...the last scarf of the night that he wore all through Can't Help Falling In Love.
Just noticed at the 18:02 mark…that's my picture with the pictures I used to own. They came in a brown envelope with Compliments of Elvis and The Colonel stamped on front of the envelope.
Hey Anthony. I got that photo from another collector to show the two additional photos that were available at the time. Maybe he bought them from you? Interesting.
I have 2 of the keychains and a letter from the company called …If it's jewelry…from Cypress California dated August 1973 asking The Colonel about making the keychains…The Colonel goes onto say that it's one of the nicest he has seen. and that Tom Diskin who runs "Road show Merchandise" would be in contact. I don't think they were offered but just for a short time. I'm blessed to have all these items…even the mirror…LOL….Great show!
Tom Diskin worked very close with Al Dvorin when it came to the purchasing and distribution of the tour souvenirs. I've seen many letters between Al and Tom regarding concert souvenirs. There were also necklaces made by that same company that were sold at concerts (I forgot to show one - maybe next time) that had the same silver metal picture of Elvis as the key chain also a head shot from 1969. TCB
Hi Robert, Love your videos, very informative. It would be nice to see what you have in your collection. Things that are up for sale. Just to get an idea of what type of items you have. Keep up the great work. Take care 😊
Thanks Nancy. I have a lot of stuff but mostly items from before Elvis died, which are the most valuable and collectible. Check out some of the early pictures of me at my shows in Memphis and you'll see a lot of the kind of items I have. TCB
Many tour posters…First they were marked All Star Shows…then…Roadshow Merchandise and last…Boxcar Enterprises. I own most of them…one of the rarest is the black and white from September 1970 and The Burning Love poster.
Yes! I knew that! LOL! Would've helped if I had more to show or more pictures. I think I remember the last two you mentioned. I had them all at one time or another but sold them almost as soon as I got them each time. Got many of them from a collector in Las Vegas. Thanks for the info.
YES! Actually I remembered later that the second book came in the 1971 Orange label flexible vinyl reissue of the 50 Gold Award Hits box set. That would make sense then.
I attended the April 23rd 1976 show in Denver. I bought the big Blue Nail suit poster. I also bought a Elvis felt pennant. They were selling white felt pennants with blue lettering that said " ELVIS, The one and only King of Rock and Roll" with a crown drawn over the "E" of Elvis' name and the picture of Elvis from the Fool album. I have the second tour book you show that came in the Gold Award box set and it does not say "Concert Photo Album" on the front.The 4th concert book you showed was included with the "Elvis In Hollywood" double album sold over TV in 1976 and after he died. My Aunt bought that same concert book in Vegas in 74 so with the Hilton ad in the middle, I think it was a Vegas concert book.
Sorry, I meant this for Gary D. The book with him looking down. Minkahead, your book can be hard to keep in mint condition because the background color can easily be dinged.
Actually, we have a show coming up where me and Johnny B talk about our favorite Elvis albums and songs. I have many but I'll tell you here that one of my favorite studio albums has to be "From Elvis In Memphis". TCB
@@collectingtheking Great choice my friend, I am looking forward to watch your next show, always informative and entertaining. Thank you very much. TCB.
Love the videos! I gotta get one of those necklaces from the ‘77 tour that never was! Quick question! I am currently in procession of a 1987 6 lp radio box set. 10th Anniversary 6hour radio tribute. Has all of the program inserts. I have never seen it before and jumped on it at my local record shop. Online all I can find is someone selling one for $10,000. Any info on rarity and price? Thanks!
Maybe I'm being picky but the On Tour movie poster with the word "excitement" on it?? I know somebody on TH-cam that has it hanging on his wall but "excitement" is mispelled as " excitment". Some are and some aren't. Which is the original printing? Did they screw up back then or today.
I've got a quick question for you. I bought a Elvis 45 record. The song is promise land. It's has 1974 on it. But it's on a light gray RCA record label. I've never seen that color label before. Do you know anything about the light gray RCA label ? Thanks alot.
Hey Kenneth. Yes, I do. Promised Land was released on three different colored labels. For what reason, I can only speculate. The Grey label is fairly common (you wouldn't think so) with the tan label being the next most common and the orange being the rarest of the three.
i like your channel super info but please check out scottys elvis presley music channel he asked for people who saw elvis live to tell their story and experience to contact him so he can tel about it in his newest video its a super informative elvis channel made by two brothers twins Scotty and Craigh i am sure you guys have a lot to share p.s i also subscribed to your channel thanks Mario from Holland

Anothe great episode! You know I love all the tour items. I got most of those items from you back when I first started collecting the king!
Yes, you did! Thanks for watching!
Great show. I have a friend who lived through the process and attended the Silver Dome show. Elvis has not done a New Year show in 20 years.
The belt buckle came out on the last tour. You can see it being offered for sale at the merchandise table on the CBS television special.

The tour book with Elvis wearing the Peacock suit would have probably been 1975. That suit was debuted in "74.
Could’ve been sold in Vegas in August 74 at the earliest.
@@Axeman517 possibly... that front cover shot is from May 1974 in LA
I bought that first 12x12 in 1976 at his Seattle concert.

Great information. Shame they didn’t put tour dates on each tour program, would seem an obvious thing to do.
I know, right? Instead, we have to guess. However, I believe the very last tour book said Volume 7 on it. Pretty sure about that.
