Jim attended this Philapdelphia concert and he recalls:
It was Monday evening, June 28, 1976, at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. Elvis was wearing the white prehistoric bird jumpsuit with blue-puff sleeves. Part way through the show a woman down in the front presented Elvis with a very large pink panther stuffed animal. I don't think he was singing when he received it, however. I remember him laughing and saying, "For me?" And off mike, I was sitting close enough to hear him say, "You know I like the Pink Panther movies." He stood up handed the stuffed animal to Charlie Hodge and then knelt back down to the woman giving her a scarf and kiss. It was a really neat moment.
