Offered are two snapshots taken of Elvis Presley after his concert at The Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena in Binghamton, New York on May 26, 1977. In a somewhat well-known incident, Elvis arrived back at his hotel across from the Arena but found the loading dock door locked. In the casual chaos of the moment, our fan took the offered photos. While the boys got a little nervous with the crowd growing and closing in, Elvis remained friendly and cool and directed his group back to the car. They drove away for 10 minutes and then returned and whisked Elvis quickly throught the now open back door. While a few other photos of the incident have surfaced, this pair has never been seen, to our knowledge. The photos are stamped on the back with a processing date of "JUN 77' and are accompanied by a ticket stub from the concert. Each ticket has "Binghamton May 26, 1977" neatly written on the back. They measure 3 3/8 x 3 3/8 inches and present in Near Mint condition.
