Re: Elvis & the Imposters with Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, Beacon Theatre, New York, NY July 13, 2023

As always, Elvis never disappoints. I’ve been to more that 100 shows since April 79, and he’s never mailed it in, as some others have alluded to. His voice (obviously) isn’t what it was, but he is a far better singer / showman as he’s aged, like a fine wine. I walked out last night feeling throughly...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, Tanglewood, Lenox, MA, July 1, 2023

Wonderful show on Saturday night. It might have been the best sound at an Elvis concert I’ve heard in quite some time. Clear vocals, Steve keyboards were clear and the difference between Elvis and Charlie was noticeable. It was also a great crowd and I believe that contributed to Elvis’s good mood. ...

Re: Elvis & Imposters play Beacon, NYC 11/6

This was my 2nd show of this short tour, having seen them in Atlantic City to start it. As I mentioned in my review of that show, I was interested to see where this set would go. While 1/3 of the set list changed (12 songs different between AC and here) it was the performances of these songs that ha...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters play Atlantic City, NJ , October 22 2016

A few days late, but some thoughts on what was a great show. I was looking forward to this tour, as Imperial Bedroom is one of my top 5 albums. Went back and listened to some of the shows from 1982 and it brought back great memories. Some of the songs from the album are played different since Davey ...

Re: Elvis DETOUR at last in NYC October 1, 2016 TOWN HALL - promo interview in NYT

I’ll preface the review, there isn’t a bad Elvis concert, seeing him twice more (Atlantic City and Beacon night 1), but last night left me wanting more. I guess I’ve set my (or his) standards too high. 2nd time I’ve seen the Detour (Denver this past April), and both times, I didn’t enjoy Larkin Poe....

If the ticket says 8, I am certain LP will hit the stage promptly. What will they play...25 minutes as they play again with E. Look for him to hit the stage 8:40/50 i'd bet as I'm certain he wants to give us more than two hours by 11:00 curfew. Enjoy NEWSFLASH!!!! TH website has 7:30 start time. So...

The mrs and I will be there. While I would love some rarities, I would love to have a show more than 2 hours. Not expecting it though.

Re: Elvis/Imposters, Huntington, NY , Sept. 30 '11

Back home from show, ended with Elvis walking off stage after 'A Slowdrag with Josephine'. This surprised his crew (I was sitting behind the soundboard) and Steve, who was still at stage right during Josephine. Show only 1:35 long. Elvis was not happy. While his voice wasn't great, i have heard wors...

Just back from AC. Arrived late thursday, only to wake up to the dissapointing news. The Borgata had no information on a rescheduling of this show.

Re: APRIL 1 - NEW YORK SHOW - GRAMERCY THEATRE

I approached Elvis’s performance at Gramercy Theatre with more unknown than any show I have seen in quite some time. While this was the first performance with The Imposters in nearly a year, it wasn’t like this was going to be a one off show. I didn’t expect a greatest hits show, nor a speed through...
