Bronxapostle~ Ah haha....you put the recorder up on the ledge?? I didn't see that. Haha, so that's why she came over......yeah, so we were wondering if you got in trouble after the show. Guess not! I take it you've done this before...haha What do you do with the recordings? What's the quality like?

Hi Bronxapostle! My husband and I were sitting next to you at the show. We wondered what happened to you after security came and questioned you! How did your recording turn out, concidering the people behind you wouldn't shut up??
It was an awesome show!! I had a great time.

Re: Elvis and The Sugarcanes, New York, NY, 10 Jun 2009

We have seats front row in the loge at the Beacon. The loge IS the best! (That coming from one vertically challenged individual....haha) Of course, the first few rows in the orchestra are pretty sweet too!
Elvis, in June, in the Big Apple.....it'll be great fun :D

Re: Momofuku Poll #2 - Whaddya think?

I didn't read all of the posts but wanted to say that I got the CD for Mother's Day (and tix to EC w/the Police in Philly....9th row) and I've listened to it several times through. I think it sounds very SPIKE-esque. I like it! It gives me a feeling of Elvis of the past. I think he's still got it an...

I was at the show an arms length away from the stage. Great show, yes, possibly the best , or one of the best, I've ever been to. Elvis was just incredible....he was spot on. The band was hot, Elvis was hot, Alan was wonderful. Great set. (He played The Beat!! Ha! Never heard that one live.) So, so ...

Geez, I'm not even sure that's the name of the show...did anyone see it? I just by chance happened to catch it the other week on BBC America. I don't know if it's been mentioned anywhere else here, I haven't had time to read through the site in a while. Anyway....it was pretty hilarious. E couldn't ...

I have always loved Suffering Face . It's one of Elvis' best vocal performances (didn't he say he was drunk when recording it ? :lol: ) and I've never quite understood why it was left off King Of America. The combination of gorgeous melody and unashamedly sentimental lyrics ("Once I was the je...
