Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Charlie Sexton at The Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, TN, January 29, 2024

Tempting! If I didn’t have to work and didn’t have tickets for the Ramblin Jack Elliott Tribute show, I would seriously consider it. A chance to be a bit footloose and fancy free.
Jump on a plane, work remote, etc… hmm. Maybe another tour.

Snippet of J Geils with Doll Revolution? That would be a fun cover for the band. Wish I could see a show on this tour. Looks like loads of fun… although the winter weather, I could do without. Enjoy to all fans heading to the remaining shows

Elvis sings 80s Joel. Never thought it would happen. Hot. What a great surprise to everyone at the concert. Wish I was there. Happy holidays

Thanks for the set list post. Looks like it was amazing. Anyone go to the puppet museum while in town for this show? Double down on some quality art vibes? Or not. Whatever. Peace out ya’ll

Love that the reviewer gently complains that neither Nick nor Elvis played Peace Love & Understanding . . . but she left to avoid parking lot traffic before EC played it (according to the setlist anyway). I caught EC at the Greek in LA and noticed that same phenomenon of folks leaving early to ...

Re: 'He's Given Me Things'

Mojo I’m far from an expert on the Bible but even I get the reference to Pilate. Washing hands of Jesus and giving silver to Judas. Surely the quoted “ why was I chosen” rings a bell for most anyone. But I suppose Elvis writing the same old song about a woman marrying for money makes sense? Not rea...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, Arizona Financial Theatre, Phoenix, AZ, June 18, 2023

I agree with both Verbal and Psc - prefer more short songs. Let’s keep the punk spirit going- extended solos with musicianship for its own sake is not my cup of tea. Part of the reason I loved Elvis in the first place were the succinct punchy tunes. Disagree. I loved the show in SF. I think EC/Imps...

Ventura - I imagine it’s like a Yacht Rock hot spot… lots of Hawaiian shirts, lots of brain cells fried from extended beach life. Probably like lizards sitting in their seats, honestly. Not much movement going down.

So many complainers about this event. What are you going to do, sue? Ya’ll read between the lines of the agenda / schedule. Also, good for EC selling more than Rufus. That makes complete sense. I love Rufus, but It’s EC - hello? What more could you possibly want from this event? A personal card game...

I say this with a heavy heart as a 1977 vintage fan, but his voice is shot, and it’s hard to ignore it. I’ve tried to for a number of years/gigs, but it’s unavoidable now. Someone who he listens to has to step in now and say we’ve got to find another way to make a living/make this work. As I say, t...

Raised numbers is a good thing. EC is in demand. Dang. Plus, more folks to mix and mingle with… always a good time there. Or not. Not a "good thing" when we were led to believe it would be more intimate. The issue was more of what was promised vs. delivered for the somewhat hefty price. T...

Sorry to hear about some of the disappointments. Don’t forget about the new tunes! That is totally awesome. Here is my counter on your disappointments. Not causing any conflict here just seeing it differently, I guess. I hope they do it again next year - both NYC and Iceland (or another island ). ((...

Looks like Official Community runs the website. I didn’t receive an email with the code either. It might require a Gen Zer with no work ethic to push a button. Who knows. Tix acquired via presale thanks to this community. Peace.
