Mom clearly remembers missing the '72 concert because that was bowling night. (My dad would record those shows with a cassette player. I have a couple of Neil Diamond concerts on tape somewhere amongst his things. Doesn't do me a lot of good as I'm not a fan and never saw it, but Mom swoons.)

Yes , but nobody forced Presley to sign those contracts....both men were cash grabs : as much money possible for as little work possible The films were still profitable in 1965 despite the poor scripts E turned down Barbras ASIB , again its easy to use Parker as a scape goat but i dont think E had it in him in '75 imo (also Parker would obsess over the billing , Es name would have to come first) Same with touring overseas , if E had really wanted it , it prolly wouldve happened before 1975 , i never got the impression E wanted to tour overseas those last two yrs (Parker turned down 10 mill for '75 Egypt gig) IMO , Presley was in pretty good shape in '73 , a few pounds extra since previous yr , but he could still deliver good concerts Elvis was afraid to do anything without Parker. He knew that Parker had brought him to where he was and he was afraid of everything falling apart without him. Parker would also say : "you might fire me but then you will owe me so and so money" then he would show how much E owed him and both E and his father never went any further with it , like he used intimidation factor on them. Closes E went to fire him was Sept '73 but it never actually happened.

He looked so cool playing Guitar Man on the '68 special , only thing that could top this imo would be 50s Elvis (or should i say "equal it")
