Elvis performed four shows during three days at the Nassau County Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York (Long Island), on June 22 through 24, 1973. The shows during this period opened to the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey and it was about halfway through one of these shows, when so many fans were tossing undergarments on stage, that Elvis made the jovial remark, “There’s going to be a lot of naked people out there soon!” Part of the marketing and promotion for these popular summer tours, these posters were created to alert the media and fans of upcoming concert dates and venues. This poster, featuring “Four Big Shows!” and four images of Elvis, lists shows dates, times, and ticket prices, which range from $5.00 to $10.00. These posters were offered for sale to members of the Elvis Presley Enterprises affinity club, The Official Elvis Collectors Club, which was a precursor to the current Graceland Insiders fan group. The poster measures approximately 25 by 19 inches (63.5 x 48.26 cm) is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Graceland Authenticated.
The poster has a few small tears to the top and bottom with some small areas of paper loss on the edges. Excellent condition.
