So if it was 50 shows and this show was one of 6 that wasn't broadcast from the Municipal Auditorium, Shreveport LA, what were the other 5?
I know they did broadcast the show from other venues but I've never bveen aware of "the list" and what the venues were without looking up all the Saturday dates.

Strange clothing on Elvis, he seems to be wearing a tie on some performance shots and not on others.
The jackets change from plain to striped.
Elvis most likely changed jackets for off stage wear and on stage wear, so that's not unusual.
But the tie, I've never see any mention of him removing it mid show or any photos of him removing it mid show. The shows those days were short.
But a great selection of photos all the same. Many thanks Colin and to all involved.

Yes, he could have changed clothes during the day, or maybe some shots are mis-tagged !

I think they are tagged correctly, too many other things match up.
But, I'm now thinking the on stage photo with tie on are from a poissible rehearsal and the ones with tie off are actual show.
