I love stumbling across odd websites. I also love people who are overly obsessed with a particular subject. Today's discovery is elvisconcerts.com. This site catalogs 1,145 concerts that Elvis performed, with an amazing and ridiculous amount of minutia about each one, including attendance, showtime, and songs performed. You can search the concerts by date, location, song, and tour. All of that is pretty incredible, but it's not enough to get me to mention it here on my blog. No, what tipped elvisconcerts.com over the top is that you can search by jumpsuit. Yes, if you want to know when The King wore his Royal Blue Fireworks suit or Mad Tiger suit, or perhaps when he sported the lovely Blue Prehistoric Bird suit that you remember so fondly from 1976, you can easily find it at elvisconcerts.com. In all, they've catalogued some 85 jumpsuits in over a thousand colourful appearances. They've even gone so far as to indicate when he wore a belt from one jumpsuit with a different outfit. I love obsession.(Pictured is the Darkblue Gypsy suit with the Red Armadillo belt, as worn in the Greensboro Colisseum on July 21, 1975. The concert began with "See See Rider" and ended with "Can't Help Falling In Love".)
