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

I only saw three shows on this tour but, for me, Hammersmith was definitely the best. No real sound issues from where I was seated, back of the stalls, and a great setlist. The usual complaints about people talking during the show, particularly those standing at the back. It seems some think it’s a ...

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

Great story. Paul Weller is the hero I haven’t met yet. I got Bruce Foxton to sign it too a few weeks ago. It's on the wall next to my signed Good Year for the Roses and Nick Mason signed Another Brick in the Wall! https://scontent.fltn3-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/281348965_10160093651577422_285...

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

The main three artists I go to see Elvis, Weller and Morrissey play what they want. Three of my top ten live acts/shows....Weller and Morrissey about 17 times each. I sure wish PAUL gets to the USA this year. Been nearly 5 years since I last saw him. :( :( He's on the top of his game at the moment....

I’m driving down to Stanmore and tubing in from there. Can’t leave until around 5 so will be cutting it fine to make Ian Prowse.

Fingers crossed the M1 is kind to me!

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

Really enjoyed last night. To me, it was better than Brighton. The sound wasn’t perfect at times and occasionally it seemed Elvis was singing slightly off key but no real complaints about the performance and set list. The ‘newer’ songs sound fantastic live. Now a few observations. I bought my ticket...

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

I’m looking forward to tonight. I enjoyed the Brighton gig but it wasn’t fully satisfying. Not sure why. Also important to me as it was about this time of day I received the email to say that night’s show in Oxford was cancelled as was the rest of the tour because of covid. It’s been a long two years

Great night and well worth the extra CD I bought to buy a ticket. In fact they offered me another CD when I checked in at the venue not realising I had received it by post already. Obviously I refused the extra one. Elvis was in great form, very funny and very relaxed. The only thing I noted is I’ve...

Fingers crossed mate. That’s really bad news. As you say I’m sure they must be able to find a different venue. I wonder if poor ticket sales were ultimately the real reason. After over an hour on hold followed by a very long call with a call centre, I think I've cancelled my Las Vegas trip and am l...

The local dates, for me, clash with other gigs I've already got tickets for. So it looks like I'll just do Oxford and Hammersmith.

Having said that, I had Look Now ready for Elvis to sign in Oxford and that was cancelled on the morning of the gig. I'll just bring it a long with Hey Clockface ...
