Re: Video from original Spinning Songbook shows?
I've seen the odd clip on Youtube - there is a clip of EC singing Knowing Me Knowing You which I remember was played at the RAH show I attended in 1987 (my first Elvis show!), but I think the film may be from Liverpool? Apart from that I haven't been able to find much else :cry: There is a complete...

Re: Summer 2023 'back with big surprises'
How exciting, due to family circumstances and the fact that I had moved “way out West” I never saw any of the PTC UK tour so this sounds like a classic revival with so many more songs to be enhanced by the horns. Hope everyone going had a fab time

Re: Meaning - Mr Crescent?
Changing the original subject and not wishing to get into the "Riot Act" argument you could make almost a double album of great Elvis closers. Surely "Big Sister's Clothes", "Unexpected 4", "Favourite Hour", "Town Cryer" and "The Birds Will Sti...

Re: Meaning - Mr Crescent?
I've been trying to decipher the meaning too. The Crescent Honeyeater is a bird native to southeastern Australia ... is about as much as I've put together. Apparently the male crescent honeyeater is quite a melodic singer. But I'm not following the parlor spinet with only 9 strings. Starboard light...

Re: Ugly Things - Brinsley Schwarz
This track has been bouncing around in my head for 2 years now. A delightful discovery then, but alas, no digital download, at least that I could find. Bought 3 track special CD on Amazon for $8 a couple days ago, package arrived, and have been playing loudly on home stereo. I like it better than a...

Re: The Gramercy “10 Club”!
personally I see the Gramercy shows as very much a one off. I do expect we’ll see Elvis and Steve in the autumn though. Agree....it would probably not be attempted to be replicated. Yet, I would not be shocked if you get a similarly themed 5 night stand. I hope so for you all. I'm not so sure - Elv...

Re: The Songs of Bacharach & Costello: 4 album set based on Painted From Memory, March 3, 2023
Fantastic work MOOT ! Really useful; ( and in consequence) it's a bit disappointing that there isn't a complete live recording of one show. I think the RFH show in 1998 had lots broadcast by the BBC in GB and on Belgium radio (is that right SP?). It's certainly forever etched on my memory as it was ...
