Mobile, Alabama - September 14, 1970!

From comedian, Sammy Shore`s book; "The Man Who Made Elvis Laugh" :

We were going to do a show in the municipal auditorium, which sat 10,000 people. I had finished my show and was standing in the wings watching Elvis perform, as I had so many times before.

Elvis was playing to a section of people, and, as usual, he took the silk handkerchief from around his neck and threw it out to the people in that section. The kerchief fell to the floor and no one seemed to pick it up. He motioned to Charlie Hodge to bring him another bandana and he threw that one to that section of the people. Still no reaction. I could see Elvis get paranoid as he turned to Charlie and said, “Am I losing it?”

Charlie replied, “Don’t worry about them, Elvis. All the people in that section are blind!” 😉
