Re: Liverpool Philharmonic Hall 10 June 2022
Sulky's account is entirely accurate, so if you're reading stuff on Twitter about Elvis abusing the audience, crowds storming out in disgust, it's ridiculously exaggerated. There was an issue with the sound (a very minor issue, to my ears) which got sorted out good-humouredly about half-an-hour into...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Manchester Opera House, June 11, 2022
My 2nd row ticket is still available!!! Bit of a delicate one here, but I now have a Row B ticket going spare. It's so late in the day now that I'll accept any offer (or even give it away as a last resort), but I really don't want to undercut Mike. So here's the thing. If it gets to mid-afternoon t...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, June 7, 2022
The one and only time Mrs VG saw Elvis was the Brighton show in 1999 (what a gig!). Elvis played for an hour and did 3 30 minute encores. She thought that was ridiculous! Yean, and having said that I think the idea of encores is outdated, I do enjoy it when he does that stuff on a solo tour - well,...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Manchester Opera House, June 11, 2022
It's a mad weekend for music in Manchester, if you are going I suggest travelling a bit earlier than you might ordinarily. I guess there are still tickets for Elvis left either because there are no hotel rooms left and/or people (weirdly) prefer to go to see either Ed Sheeran (at Man City), The Kil...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, June 7, 2022
I think I prefer the straight 2 hour set with none of the encore rubbish when you know they are going to come back and you have five minutes of shouting 'more'. If its a genuine encore when the show has been that great and they play something off the setlist then fine. I guess that's what an encore...

Re: "The Resurrection of Rust" - 2022 album by Rusty (EC & Allan Mayes)
Heh. If's a positive and well-meaning review, but I strongly suspect that 'punk but having a classic rock heart' is pretty much the last label that Elvis would want ascribed to him!sweetest punch wrote:https://entertainment-focus.com/2022/06 ... st-review/

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, City Hall, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, June 8, 2022
Maybe Elvis does read verbal’s comments on here as he cut short PLU, no well, well, wells, and instead went into Mr & Mrs Hush. Finished with Alison and Mr Crescent. It was good fun. I hadn't really considered it before, but 'Mr and Mrs Hush' works pretty well as one of the encore-y type bits a...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Brighton Dome, June 5, 2022
Man, that set list is not killing me. I hope it evolves considerably by the time they get to NYC. I'm forced to agree. Not that I don't love all those songs, obviously, but, if I try and break it down: 10 'standards' (Green Shirt, Mystery Dance, Accidents, Detectives, GYFTR, Brilliant Mistake, Chel...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Brighton Dome, June 5, 2022
The only lowlight for me was the new version of Brilliant Mistake which doesn’t do it for me. Elvis added a few verses of a song called Boulevard of Broken Dreams. I don’t know if it was the Green Day song. If somebody recorded the show then perhaps they can help… I didn't see or record the show, b...

Re: Elvis recording again at Memphis Magnetic Recording Studios
On stage in Bexhill-on-Sea last night, Elvis said that he and The Imposters had rehearsed for their forthcoming UK tour at studios in Memphis, following their appearance at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival (on May 6). So that may clear up what they were up to in Memphis last month. It doe...

Re: Elvis recording again at Memphis Magnetic Recording Studios
Mayes lives in Austin, but I imagine at least the later session(s) may still be unrelated to the Rusty album? Almost certainly. The Rusty LP appears to have been recorded remotely: the official site says that the Rusty sessions 'connected Sentry Sound, Vancouver with Austin TX, Santa Fe NM and Los ...

I think it's a boot - Amazon lists the label as "Gossip." Still could be great to have if the quality's good. Oh it's definitely a boot, it's been doing the rounds since the mid-1990s. I'm just interested to know if the sound quality is good enough to make it worth buying this version of ...

Re: Heatwave Festival (1980) now released!
Never bothered with this before. Can anyone who owns it/has heard it advise on how essential a purchase it is? In terms of (a) sound quality, and (b) are there any performances that are quirky, unusual or different from other concerts of this period?

The Japanese CD will include the bonus track "Silver Minute," described as a "demo recorded at that time." (I assume that means the 1972 demo.) The release date is July 20. https://store.universal-music.co.jp/product/uicy16089/ https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/UICY-16089?s_ssid...

Just to add...regardless of whatever we think about the logistics of this LP's announcement, release and availability, it's a great record, isn't it? It pulls off the neat trick of being very obviously an EC and the Imposters record made in 2021/2022, but at the same time, sounding like the record s...

Re: "The Resurrection of Rust" - 2022 album by Rusty (EC & Allan Mayes)
So it looks like the general release has been pulled forward from September to 10th June anyway? Hence the prospective thrill of buying it at a gig and feeling you were stealing a few months on everybody else has somewhat evaporated.
