I noticed they did the same thing for the Port Chester shows. They wouldn't show the seat map. Weird.

Re: Elvis and The Imposters, Port Chester, NY, October 29 & 30 2019

Night 2 thoughts: EC's vocals were definitely rougher vs Night 1. Keeping the set lengths under 2 hours is a good idea if he's going to sustain a full tour at a high level. I was looking forward to hearing Charm School, but it really was a mess vocally at the start. On the plus side, he played Photo...

Yes, most likely. He has to play the hits, but we as a group tend to like the rarities. The more obscure the better.

Re: Elvis and The Imposters, Port Chester, NY, October 29 & 30 2019

Elvis at the Cap, always a treat. Some observations: 1. I really like the current arrangement of Strict Time, the opener. Much more than the standard album version I heard live in 2011. He slows it down and adds the female vocals for a really beautiful effect. I believe that Davey does the vocal arr...

No opening act. Elvis hits the stage within 10 minutes of the scheduled start time, so be in your seat at 8:00 PM sharp tonight.

Re: Elvis & Imposters/Blondie Forest Hills July 24, 2019

The current arrangement of I Can't Stand Up/High Fidelity is really good! I know it's in every show and looks very ho-hum when reading the setlist, but man it kicks ass in the live setting. Kitten and Briana's vocals are especially strong here.
