From The Souvenir Stands...
Beginning around 1972 Ed Bonja (Elvis' tour manager)
started taping Elvis' shows at the sound board either
directly from Elvis' microphone input or from the recording
booth output. As Ed tells it "I recorded many Elvis concerts
from the soundboard so that I would have tapes to play in
my car when we were not on tour. I would document what
songs were sung, as well as any other pertinent information
about each particular concert." The tapes were later given
to Colonel Parker and copies of the documentation sheets
filed away both in the Colonel's files and the tour managers
files. The documents listed below are all original 1970's
soundboard listings. Each is a typewritten letter size copy
with Ed's handwritten notes. Some are stamped either
'Presley File Copy' or 'Parker File Copy'. All come with an
original signed letter of authenticity from Ed Bonja.

4 sides hemmed, blue, autograph imprinted scarf. Signature is closely
spaced. The hem is tightly stitched and narrow. ~33 x 33 inches.
Squared corners. Comes with a photo from the show of Elvis wearing the
exact same colour scarf. The original owner and his wife went to see
Elvis in 1976 and she was lucky enough to receive this scarf. A nice firm
date, which is uncommon for scarves obtained from Vegas. An excellent
scarf, typical of those used by Elvis in 1976.
