The night before in Toronto, Elvis wore his full gold lamé suit for the last time. The photos below show Presley wore only three elements of the gold suit in Ottawa—jacket, belt, shoes. Elvis chose not to wear the tie and pants from the gold suit. On Elvis' next tour to the Pacific Northwest in late summer, he would discard the gold shoes as well.
