Re: Elvis & Steve, Copenhagen (Denmark), September 13, 2023

It was a fine and somewhat gentle concert with EC in great mood. His voice was pretty strained though (more than usual) which had an impact on the whole show. Maybe due to playing four days in a row. In some songs it was solved better than others. Stand-outs for me were Shot with his own gun, Mr. Cr...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Copenhagen (Denmark), June 30, 2022

Simply brilliant show for so many reasons: - EC was the happiest I've ever seen him. Talking a lot, clearly enjoying himself, great with the crowd - The crowd was almost perfect. Probably the most enthusiastic EC crowd I have experienced since Vega, Copenhagen in 2004. Lots of sing-along. Only one a...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Copenhagen (Denmark), June 30, 2022

I'm going!

Amager Bio seems like a very different venue. No seating with a capactity of 1300 standing up. Great place. Have the other venues been full seating?

Wonder if EC is staying for the Tour de France in Copenhagen tomorrow.

I'm happy to hear that krm also found the Copenhagen concert much better than then one in Aalborg. For a moment I blamed myself for being slightly under the influence in Aalborg (it was a Saturday night after all) or that I was somehow sitting too close to the stage. The difference is actually hard ...

Well my sister and brother-in-law was at their first EC concert and she just texted this:

"A short status - It was so great and much better than expected"

He also played inside the tv this time.

The last part with "this particular tour feels like a fluke" is a little more positive in the Swedish sense. It's more like a "stroke of fortune" or "stroke of luck".
