It was something to see. I was 7 years old and my father took me, and probably saved my life. A comedian opened the show, and all the members of Elvis's band wore light blue jumpsuits.
He opened with 'CC Rider' ( I think that is the name of the song) and wore a gold/black outfit with a cape, and a dozen or more red scarves around his neck. Periodically, he would strike a pose at the end of the stage, flinging the cape wide open. Every time he did this, he'd throw a scarf into the audience and women would lose their minds.
We were up in the rafters. I told my father that I was going to go down there and get myself one of those scarves. He wouldn't let me go. Until he died he'd joke about how, had I gone down there, those women would have killed me.
