I think this is actually the first time "Pump It Up" has appeared on the wheel without being followed by "in 6/8."
And it looks like "Big Hoo Small Boo" has officially been changed to the comparatively logical "Big Boo Small Hoo."

Ex-basketball star Bill Walton spun the wheel (it landed on "Pump It Up") and apparently even joined in on "Ramble On Rose."
Walton previously spun the wheel in Boston in 1986.

Second outing for "The Comedians"-- do we have report on which version he's performing. my guess: original lyrics, but without the tricky time signature of the LP recording.

Clearly a "Numbers" spin is overdue. I suggest Elvis rig the wheel at the Wiltern tonight if necessary.

Agree... "Less Than Zero," "The Nameless One," "A Monster Went And Ate My Red Two," "My Three Sons," "4give Her Anything," "Five Small Words," "Six Fingered Man," "Seven Day Weekend," "Eight Days A Week"...
It may have to be spun early in the show.

Since you put me down, it seems i've been very gloomy. You may laugh but pretty girls look right through me.
Re: Elvis/Imposters, San Diego , April 16 '12
What's with the Star Wars affect on the lyrics? A bit cheezy.

Re: Elvis/Imposters, San Diego , April 16 '12
you got it krm...LOVE adding those tidbits of songs to the setlists!!
Re: Elvis/Imposters, San Diego , April 16 '12
I attended with my 8 year old daughter, her first concert!
I thought it was a great show musically; the sound was very good and the set list was pretty solid. Highlights for me were Jimmie (which didn't surprise me) and Harry Worth (which sort of did). He ended Jimmie with a stanza from Brother Can You Spare a DIme, very cool.
I was dubious about the whole wheel thing going in, and my fears were confirmed. To me, having the audience onstage for such an extended period is too distracting. Especially in San Diego, where it was pretty much (except for Bill Walton) a parade of extroverted hotties who were trying to outdo each other for Elvis' and the audience's attention. It does allow Elvis to spout more witty banter, so that's good, but again the distraction (to Elvis as well it seemed) wasn't worth it IMO. Elvis seemed to sense it too and toned it down for the last half of the concert, which improved things. I will admit that Elvis did crack me up when he asked one particularly buxom babe, "what happened to the gloves you wore when you first came up.... they were the first things I noticed about you. (To the audience) It's all about the accessories!"
My daughter was tired halfway through but was a trooper and hung in until the end. She knew only about 5 of the songs, so that makes it tough. But I think it was a good experience for her.
