Rare Elvis photos discovered!
Some new photos of The King performing at Madison Square Garden in 1972 have recently surfaced. George Kalinsky who was the official photographer for the Garden was rummaging through his file negs for an upcoming campaign on “Great Moments in New York” when he located the unpublished images. It appears that there are around 40 “crisp, clear professional photos of Elvis.”
The collection will appear at Graceland starting on Memorial Day along with an exhibit of his famous jumpsuits.

Very cool. I especially like the above picture, because it gives a good side shot of this jump suit. There is also another shot that has a good portrait of rhythm guitarist John Wilerson in the background. Ya know, I think its cool when stuff like this comes out, although. I don’t really thin k these pictures are that extrodinary. While I would say that they are much better and clearer then most taken by “official” Elvis photogapher Ed Bonja, whose photos of the king in the 70s were often blurry and out of focus….I’d have to say that I have still seen better. Actually, a couple years ago, a friend and I came across an album of unpublished concert photos of Elvis in an antique store in Depot Town, Ypsilanti. This was a FANTASTIC collection of never-before-seen pictures of Elvis on stage, wearing a lot of rare jumpuits that rarely have been photographed.
