On Thursday, Nov. 12, 1970 and on Monday, April 26, 1976 Elvis was in concert at the Seattle Center Coliseum. In the 1970 show he wore a white sequined jumpsuit and spent almost as much time joking and talking as he did singing. In 1976, looking paunchy and pale, he opened wearing his famous Native American-themed white jumpsuit, and backed by a 14-piece band and 10 background singers. He sang I Got A Woman, Love Me, My Way, All Shook Up and America The Beautiful.

The Coliseum was originally built as the Washington State Pavilion for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair where Elvis filmed the movie "It Happened at the World's Fair". It's now called the Key Arena and is home to the Seattle Supersonics and the Seattle Storm pro basketball teams.
