It just came came to me, they also played Deep Dark Truthful Mirror! It might’ve been the song they were play when the power went off, so between Talking in the Dark and Accidents Will Happen.

I’ve got a train to Madrid in 4 hours so I best get some sleep!

Re: Elvis & Steve, Granada ( Spain), September 2, 2023

Show started at 21.35 with When I Was Cruel. The rain started about 10 minutes later. Power went off as roadies unplugged keyboards and guitars to remove from the stage. They brought out a pop up cover to protect Steve and the piano, and of course Steve carried on playing. Elvis then tried an un amp...

Inside waiting.

Stunning venue location but rain forecast in one hour.

Spanish Model playing over the PA, which is appropriate.

Turns out Elvis and Steve were also on the plane.
I had a quick chat with Steve as they waited at baggage reclaim. I’m guessing Elvis was using the facilities.
Toast requested I didn’t ask Elvis for a photo which I totally understand. It’s hot.
Cooler tomorrow for the gig!

Re: Elvis In Iceland with Steve Nieve and Special Guest, Nick Lowe, May 25-29, 2023

I’ve had a few days to consider the trip and looking back it was a special event. Yes, there were certain things that didn’t happen as originally advertised and the raised numbers seemed to put pay to any prolonged interaction with Elvis but overall I guess I was fairly happy with the trip. The show...

Re: Summer 2023 'back with big surprises'

I was at that Punch the Clock gig at Hammersmith Palais. Loved the Palais as a venue and saw lots of bands there but the most significant was Elvis and the Clash. I also saw Alejandro Escovedo the other week fronting Ian Hunter’s Rant band and doing a set of Mott the Hoople classics. I went twice as...

Ah well, I’m off to the Metro Theatre in Sydney in about 4 hours to see Larkin Poe. Luckily it’s only a 20 minute walk to the Metro as opposed to the 11 minute walk to the Opera ...

Re: The Gramercy “10 Club”!

personally I see the Gramercy shows as very much a one off. I do expect we’ll see Elvis and Steve in the autumn though. Agree....it would probably not be attempted to be replicated. Yet, I would not be shocked if you get a similarly themed 5 night stand. I hope so for you all. That’s how I see it. ...

Re: The Gramercy “10 Club”!

There has been several mentions of a Gramercy type stand in London on here so I’m guessing someone knows something. Is there a rough timeframe when this might happen? I would hope to attend all 10 but would hate to book a holiday or anything else that would clash with any prospective dates. As Elvis...

I’m sitting in departures at Heathrow waiting for my flight to JFK.

I keep looking at the previous set lists and hoping it hasn’t peaked and my four nights end as an anticlimax. Of course it won’t but pessimistic me always fears the worst and hopes for the best.
