Nearly 36 years after Elvis Presley rocked Madison Square Garden, George Kalinsky raided his files, hunting for pictures he'd taken of the concert and never printed. He dug out nearly 100 never-before-seen shots, including some Graceland officials consider the most iconic ever taken.
"Lost" pictures of The King have left a New York cameraman all shook up. Nearly 36 years after Elvis Presley rocked Madison Square Garden, George Kalinsky raided his files, hunting for pictures he'd taken of the concert and never printed. He dug out nearly 100 never-before-seen shots, including some Graceland officials consider the most iconic ever taken. "I thought I had eight or 10 good photos, but I found four rolls of film," said Kalinsky, the Garden's official photographer for 40 years. "It was mind-boggling. I'd totally forgotten that I'd taken that many." The collection is headed to Graceland for an exhibit. (IMG:http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r264/Backstrom2003/gal_elvis1.jpg) (IMG:http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r264/Backstrom2003/gal_elvis5.jpg) (IMG:http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r264/Backstrom2003/gal_elvis6.jpg) (IMG:http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r264/Backstrom2003/gal_elvis4.jpg) (IMG:http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r264/Backstrom2003/elvis.jpg) (IMG:http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r264/Backstrom2003/21.jpg) one picture showing a white jumpsuited Elvis, his cape billowing behind him - stands 36 feet tall on a Times Square billboard, part of a display honoring the world-famous snapper. "That is the one Graceland said was the most iconic," said Kalinsky, who met Elvis backstage after the show and described him as "very humble." Kalinsky, 64, has taken pictures of every major Madison Square Garden event - including Muhammad Ali's fight with Joe Frazier, a Jimi Hendrix show and the Pope's 1979 visit. He found the films after being invited to take part in a Times Square display celebrating "Great Moments in New York." He had asked Graceland for permission to use another of his shots, and they asked if he'd search to see if he had any he'd never published. "This is an incredible and rare find," said Kevin Kern, spokesman for Elvis Presley Enterprises. "It is as if George found a treasure chest of never before seen Elvis photos." 2008/04/09 Adam Nichols - www.nydailynews.com / www.epgold.com --------------------   |

I am a little confused here.
If these new photo's are from MSG shows. I think it's from another show. These two photo's don't have the same jumpsuit. Is the MSG album photo from an earlier concert? It doesn't look the same suit to me.

The photo on the cover of the MSG album is not from any of the Madison shows. It's from Jackson.

For those who don't know the reason Elvis' belt appears upside down is this.....
When beginning to sing "Hound Dog" he bent over to deliver the long slow opening lines of the song (You ain't nothin' but a..... etc) At one point he unhooked the belt and dropped it to the stage. He then said something like "I'm just getting sexy" or words to that effect. Later in the show he once again donned the belt and at that point he put it on upside down. I remember the belt making a thump as it hit the stage. hope this helps Greybeard |

They had a link to this story on MSN Videos, but everytime I tried to upload the video last night nothing came through....maybe EPE put a quick halt to anything being shown. That's money out of their pockets.
I cannot wait to see these Photographs...I hope they do a book too! If this guy came up with these after all this time. Imagine the other pics, music and movies that maybe out there. We can hope! -------------------- "The man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing is the King, of the whole wide world." |
