Vernon looks every bit the man headed for a major coronary. It arrived in January of the following year.

You can even just see in these photos that Elvis looks clean, sober and happy. They remind me of some of the backstage photos from his Jan/Feb 1970 Vegas engagement. Especially the first one.

Such a shame it didn't last long, the transformation from here to October 1974 is disturbing.

Stumbled upon this version of the top photo, and it seems like the photo originally posted in this thread was doctored to have Vernon standing next to Oral Roberts... :)
