(meant to say this two days ago...oops)
Twenty-six years ago today (well, okay, two days ago), Elvis blew the lid
off the L.A. Forum in two incredible performances from which I hope
soundboard tapes exist. He also wore one of the coolest suits in
history, albeit non-functional, and provided us with the cover to the 70s
box set.
And, two years later, he came back to the area for the first of two shows
at the Long Beach Convention Center.
That's it.
Just wanted to point out the anniversary thing (oh yeah....26 years ago
today he stormed Oklahoma City and repeated the feat, throwing in a
pre-season "Blue Christmas" for good measure).

Thanks for sharing this with us, Shane! Boy, do I wish I coulda been at
those shows! Well, I could have....but I was about 11 at the time and
not really into Elvis then....
