ElvisWorld: Elvis Played Canada Three Times, eh

A fan shot this silent footage of the Toronto show. There is more out there, but it’s yet to surface the way that fan shot film of Elvis Presley in the USA deep south.

Toronto is the last concert Elvis Presley wore his gold suit. The outfit weighed 25/30 pounds and it was a bit flashy, even for Elvis’ taste. He did a stage slide in those pants.

The liner notes of the Elvis a Canadian Tribute album mention the liner note writer’s own father feverishly filmed this concert from close to the stage.

Audio clips of the Vancouver Empire Stadium legendary concert have also surfaced, but not whole songs. Red Robinson has a full recording of the concert, EPE should call him. the fans got to see Elvis gold lame jacket before they rushed the stage.
