On February 13, 1977 Elvis took the stage in West Palm Beach. A review in the The Palm Beach Post appeared the following day describing the energy at the concert:
Trumpets blared the “Theme from 2001”, heartbeats quickened, people stood, women screamed, flash cubes exploded in a strobe light effect, and suddenly in one magical instant, he was there in the flesh. Elvis Presley, decked out in a white, sparkling jumpsuit, showed a frenzied audience at the West Palm Beach Auditorium last night why they call him the King. In an hour-long show, Elvis ran through all or part of two dozen songs mixing his classic early records from the 1950s and 1960s with newer material, all the time teasing and toying with his audience so that the excitement level rarely dropped.
Offered is a contact sheet with twelve (12) black-and-white images of Elvis leaving his hotel dressed in a hat and coat covering his Rainfall jumpsuit, greeting gathered fans as he enters the waiting car that will take him to the auditorium for the performance. Elvis is clearly visible in none of the twelve images. The contact sheet of 35mm negatives measures 8 by 10 inches (20.32 x 25.4 cm) and is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Graceland Authenticated.
The sheet is in excellent condition overall with a strip of sticker residue across the bottom right edge.
