Lake Tahoe, NV. May 1974. The " Blue Rainbow " jumpsuit was brand new from his previous short May tour in California. Strangely enough he didn't use the matching belt when he started to wear it, instead he wore a belt that was designed for a 1973 jumpsuit, the " Blue Target " jumpsuit. The " Blue Rainbow " jumpsuit was most likely used for the very first time at the May 13th 1974 concert in San Bernardino with the same belt shown above.
