Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Charlie Sexton at Coca-Cola Roxy, Atlanta, GA, January 30, 2024

You mean like 10 shows in NYC at the Gramercy last year Touche! :lol: It’s a fair point though having the horns removes the flexibility. However this tour has been great for the variety of songs but the days of 10+ different songs per show have long gone. It’s one of the reasons I don’t go to as ma...

Re: What's your best ever EC gig?

BA it helped me to answer a slightly different question. Lots of shows are the “best ever” for different reasons given all of the rich, diverse presentations EC has given us. Thats why I answered “which ONE would I choose to see again” instead. You might go in a different direction but it felt right...

Re: What's your best ever EC gig?

I agree with Harry Lime, hard to pick but fun to think about. My possibilities include: spinning songbook where I got to spin (Oliver’s army) and Hubert Sumlin guested; a number of the spectacle takings, especially “build a band” with Levon helm, Richard Thompson, nick Lowe, AT & the imposters; ...

Epic is the only word I can use for this show! When I reread the first 10 I thought EC might struggle on vocals. But apart from a couple little points, he was more than solid. I still have that other girl was a worry and instead it was a highlight! Steve doing the Kristofferson part in April 5th see...

What a fun show on Valentine’s Day. EC said he doesn’t really right love songs although my 3 sons and puppet and others in the set list seem to fit the bill. Love lost, now that’s another way to go!
