I can reveal that it is a KARATE hand gesture- specifically KENPO KARATE. Now, there is a lot fake news that it is something more sinister, but Elvis made a similar gesture before this concert as he was waiting backstage. Perhaps the reason Elvis made this gesture is that Kenpo master Ed Parker was his bodyguard for this tour. Ed can be seen just behind Elvis as he leavers the stage. This was Elvis' last-ever concert tour; this sensational clip is from Rapid City June 21, 1977 and was one of the shows which was professionally filmed for TV. The tour ended on June 26 with a great show in Indianapolis, but sadly it was not professionally filmed.
