I notice the upstage hang lacks a cable pick, so the whole platform tips a wee bit.

Thanks to a buddy of mine who was there, I believe this venue is the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, OK.

If the band sounds great, it's because the band IS great, if the band sound like crap, it's the soundman's fault.

Any idea what year this was?  Those look like JBL4560s with assorted JBL radial horns & bullets, very 1970s ish.

It was a 2 day gig...

"Presley performed in the metro area three more times: a May 29, 1976 show at the Myriad and a two-day stand on March 25 and 26, 1977 at the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman."

Phase Linears & SAE's (?).

From the big glowing VU meters on a black face I would say the amps are SAE. From a distance
the Phase Linears would look about the same only they had a gold face. I would say the rack to
the left is loaded with Phase Linears either turned off or the bulbs are burned out in the meters.
