Re: Elvis In Iceland with Steve Nieve and Special Guest, Nick Lowe, May 25-29, 2023
So another stunning concert, different in tone to the private gig with no new sings as I “recall” . It started much like the usual classic C&N shows with Accidents and then Shot With His Own Gun but we got a variety of ballads and rockers with WIWC No 2 and WTD both benefitting from Elvis” array...

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...

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.

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...
