Throwback Tulsa: Elvis Presley at Tulsa Assembly Center (Cox Business Center) on this day in 1972
On this day in 1972, Elvis Presley performed his second of five Tulsa performances.
His performance was at Tulsa Assembly Center, later known as Cox Business Center. That arena had its final concert in 2018.
Elvis also performed in Tulsa on April 18, 1956; March 1 and March 2, 1974, and at Tulsa’s Bicentennial in 1976. He died in 1977.

A photo from microfilm of a Tulsa World page on June 22, 1972, shows Elvis Presley, surrounded by admirers and police, outside the Mayo Hotel as his limousine caused a temporary traffic jam. The caption says Elvis was wearing the same white suit he wore on June 20 at his sellout show at the Tulsa Assembly Center. The photo was taken on June 21 by World photographer J.R. Jones.
