Re: Happy Birthday Sulky Lad
Once again, so touched by the generous comments and thoughts from all my dear friends in Elvis. I'm lucky to have been able to meet so many of you and to be able to share my love of the man and his live work in particular - and I WILL be in NY one day I promise BA !

Re: Happy Birthday Sulky Lad
My only peace and quiet occurs in the wee hours so I missed this on the actual day ( as I work on part of my 40- year anniversary recordings from 1983) and once again, I'm touched by and grateful for the kind words and wonderful friendship of VG - and all those I've been fortunate to meet and share ...

Re: Elvis & Steve, Paris (France), September 24, 2023
So thanks to the amazing generosity of two lovely ladies, it seems I'm on my way for this special concert - where my car parking costs more than my hotel or my flight !
I'm amazingly excited about this show that's for sure !
Good post to make it 2400 too!

Re: Elvis & Steve, Helsinki (Finland), September 9, 2023
By a strange coincidence I am in Finland and have a ticket for a concert tonight at the Sibelius Hall in Lahti, just up the road from Helsinki. The 1978 version of me would be shocked at the decision I'm about to make. Still love Elvis but maybe too many concerts for the voice? Don't be hasty !! It...

I’m heading off to Holyhead later to cross the Irish Sea with the Fishfinger Queen for this. Good decision in view of lack of UK dates. Who’s going? I'm flying from Newquay airport - goggles and leather flying hat optional. I'm hoping for something more pragmatic than a biplane with a pilot with a ...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, Beacon Theatre, New York, NY, July 12, 2023
I believe I was the person who raised about the lack of detailed reports. Personally I am really glad that fans take the time to share their thoughts and provide detailed reviews of gigs. I try to do the same when I attend. Thanks for the inspiration, Verbal. I'm not sure I would have written every...

Fascinating to see such differing reactions. I was about 12 or 13 rows back in the center and I didn't see anyone leaving until it was about 11:00 and some of the older members of the audience started to trickle out but that seemed more due to the relative lateness of the hour than grumpiness about...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, Arizona Financial Theatre, Phoenix, AZ, June 18, 2023
I agree with both Verbal and Psc - prefer more short songs. Let’s keep the punk spirit going- extended solos with musicianship for its own sake is not my cup of tea. Part of the reason I loved Elvis in the first place were the succinct punchy tunes. Disagree. I loved the show in SF. I think EC/Imps...

Confession: I almost passed on this concert. I was in the group who thought Costello’s voice was done. Well, I am happy to report I was very wrong. This was the strongest I’ve heard his voice since the Roots shows. Charlie Sexton should be a permanent Imposter. Everything seemed so fresh and almost...

This has been a most extraordinary event - Elvis has definitely " turned a page" as he said at the Q&A with the Gramercy stint and it would seem he has looked at both his catalogue and his legacy and considered his place in the history of popular music. From the recordings I've heard f...
