Re: Elvis plays Wilbur Theatre, Boston, MA. 17 Nov 2013

Sunday night at the Wilbur was an OUTSTANDING show. This was my 60th Elvis show (second on this Northeast tour), and it just might have been my favorite ever. He was in great voice, played amazingly well, and fed off the obvious energy of the crowd. Yes, there have been more adventurous setlists on ...

Re: Elvis songs done better by others

The one that jumps to mind for me is June Tabor's version of "I Want To Vanish". It's on her "Against The Streams" album, which came out before ATUB- so hers was the version I heard first. She sings it so beautifully, and the melody just floored me when I heard it. I was so anxio...

Re: T Bone Burnett's Revue /Elvis in Boston, NY, Oct. 16/20

Was able to get through, and got very good seats. (4th row/ Pit Orch).
But the price was quite steep. I feel better knowing it's a benefit, and that there's a pretty amazing line-up.
I'm still trying to picture how they're going to cram all those folks into one show.

Re: When was your first Elvis gig?

August 22, 1982. Imperial Bedroom tour. Cape Cod Coliseum in South Yarmouth, MA.
Talk Talk was the opening act.
Great show- turned me from fan to fanatic and I never looked back (50+ shows later...)

I just stumbled onto a site that makes for a nice visual companion to "Monkey to Man". I thought some of you might enjoy this.

I had a copy of a VHS tape years ago that had all or most of the clips listed. It will be good to get those on DVD. Most of the clips are not what you'd call great filmmaking. Old- looking 16mm stuff mostly. Elvis mentions the video for "I Wanna Be Loved" in the new GCW liner notes. It is ...

I was so glad to finally hear the demos for the never-to-be George Jones record. They're my favorite tracks on the disc. Innocent When You Dream is incredible (Tom Waits cover versions always have a way of just amplifying those beautiful melodies he writes ). And for all the times I've heard Elvis d...

Los Lobos' "Uncomplicated"

I guess Los Lobos decided to return the favor of Elvis covering "Matter of Time". I just downloaded their cover of "Uncomplicated" from the iTunes Music Store. Very cool. They also cover "Jockey Full of Bourbon" by Tom Waits.
