Re: Elvis , 'Detour', play Wichita, KS, October 8th 2106

Just a couple of observations. Those glasses would probably take away a lot from EC's usual song-enhancing live facial expressiveness. Is he trying to be Bono on 'The Fly'?

Cool. I'd recommend the flying saucer off Broadway, it's close to the Ryman but not too close to the Lower Broadway craziness. Maybe an hour before the show?
I've never been to the area, so that sounds good to me

Not bad at all on Bessman recap. Except, there is still one different word than megaphone for the item he used, like a cheerleader, to song that song!!! Help!!! Also known as a speaking trumpet or acoustic horn. Cool Mike....I can't say I know either of those two, but they sound appropriate. I stil...

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

By the way, I haven't seen it mentioned, but during the encores someone yelled out pretty clearly "Elvis, Stop boycotting Israel!" Elvis responded, sincerely, "This one goes out to you, with love." Whether or not you agree with EC's stance on Israel (and I don't), he handled it b...

Neither sound man nor light man would give up a printed setlist..."we're not allowed to give them out". We weren't close enough to the stage to see if there was one or more taped to the floor. EC has three teleprompters....one in front of the blue chair, one center stage, one at the piano...

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 article says several of the songs on IB have never been performed, but according to this site they have all been performed at least once.
