My own theory, just formulated is that when Elvis decided on a Las Vegas comeback "The Mad Coonel" knew he had formidable competition in the form of
recent popular imports from the second English invasion then playing in Vegas:-

and that therefore Parker dressed Elvis in ridiculous costumes in a successful attempt to make Elvis stand out
As for Elvis's EMR there are a few alternative videos to the Aloha 1973 recording
here is another performance complete with a female choir
and "Great Guitar Work From John Wilkinson"
