Check your source carefully Colin, I have a feeling that 'Jupiter' might be correct.
Those chairs are seen on page 20 of 'A Moment In Time - 4 Days in '56' by Michael Rose as part of the Detroit, Michigan, May 25, 1956 chapter.
Elvis is seen wearing a light jacket with his collar up, and at the piano also.
It's certainly possible that your source could be wrong.... or even mine.

OK, I'll take a guess you have this one down as Dayton, May 27th 1956?

Those chairs on page 20 aren't the same ones that I've posted & it isn't Detroit !

He isn't wearing light jacket with his collar up, either !

However, it is from one of the days in the "A Moment in Time - 4 days in '56" book !

May 25th Detroit & May 27th Dayton - it's somewhere around there !

Well done, TonyS who gets full marks, even though he challenged the quizmaster's sources [unsuccessfully] !
