Metallica - Phantom Lord

In the spring of 1972, Parker tried to improve the financial conditions of Presley’s two annual Las Vegas Hilton performances. Externally, the revision of the contract did not bring gold mountains, since Elvis's weekly fee increased from 125 to 130 thousand dollars a year, even if it was planned to bring it to 150 thousand in the future. The generosity unusual for Parker can be understood if one knows that the Hilton directorate offered the colonel personally, behind the artist, a bonus of $ 50,000 a year for three years, which looked like a bribe.
