Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Hammersmith Apollo, London, June 23, 2022

Thanks Benny, I always values your thoughts and views and thesein particular are well worth consideration. I think you've pretty much nailed it, in that I have seen some awesome and breathtaking concerts and that maybe the familiarity might have been an influence. This certainly has been a greater s...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Hammersmith Apollo, London, June 23, 2022

Great review Alan, I agree completely. Ian Prowse's sets have been a joy - I really moved by his appearance at Manchester especially and his vocals are spot on. As for Charlie's contribution, I couldn't concur more. His fills and the addition of the phrases he inserts have been terrific and totally ...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Regent Theatre, Ipswich, June 22, 2022

Great international gang of us staying at the Novotel and a stunning show. Started off much as the others but Elvis mentioned the birthdays of McCartney , saying he’d played Let Me Roll It and also sent a message to him, that it was also Brian Wilson’s birthday but that his songs “ had too many chor...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, The Forum, Bath, June 17, 2022

I love that idea Hawks - just can’t see them doing it . As a very amateur guitarist I watch Charlie closely when possible and you cannot underestimate what he brings, honestly! He’s playing fills when Elvis drops out of playing, chords when Elvis does riffs as in Chelsea and Detectives and his solos...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, New Theatre, Oxford, June 16, 2022

I wasn't at this show but was at Glasgow and Leicester. I understand that casual fans want to hear more of the big songs, but personally I've heard those ones many, many times before so was pleased at the diversity of songs used on this tour. In any event, it's reassuring that my favourite artist i...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Leicester De Montfort Hall, June 14, 2022

The Barking Sing- it’s a real poser and hopefully you’ll be able to hear it for yourself soon - I promise - but it starts with Davey bowing a riff on the double bass and then Elvis skat sings along with no words but “ruff ruffing” . I have a distant memory of the song being a sort of children’s com...

At the end of The Man You Love To Hate Davey bowed a little riff on the double bass and Elvis skat vocalised along with it but like a dog - honestly !! It wasn’t woof woof more “ruff ruff” . It stirred some vague memory in me maybe from the late 50s or early 60s of a sing played on a radio programme...

At one stage in the proceedings he was trying to talk and got interrupted several times and he shushed them , put his finger to his lips and eventually says “shut the fuck up!” Now if you weren’t the one individual shouting off your ignorant pissed up opinion , I don’t see how you could take offence...

Liverpool Philharmonic Hall 10 June 2022

Quite a night in Liverpool. After the amount of shouting we had in Glasgow I thought we’d get a more onboard but typically vibrant audience but from the start, every time Elvis spoke there were shouts from the crowd ( everyone is a megaphone!) Things reached a climax during the start of “ The Differ...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, June 7, 2022

I certainly don’t miss the inevitable and slightly farcical clapping and cheering for more. There was a time when Elvis dragged it out a bit and there would be a sort of ebb and flow which frankly irritated me as you knew he’d come back. I much prefer this playing straight through.
