Incredible! So fantastic that it's hard to describe. What sucked the most was the Boca crowd. Which is not surprising. Boca bitches yammering about thier non-descript lives ruined a lot of Elvis' performance. There were plenty of "killer" looks going thier way, but they were oblivious! If only "the detectives" were there to "blow them away"!.... Don't go if you don't know!!!! And shut up when he's performing like no one you've seen since the Ramone's! PLEASE!!!

Setlist is missing 2 songs from the Boca show: "You Left Me In The Dark" and "Fallen." The latter was directly before "Still," while I recall the former being earlier, perhaps after "Green Shirt."

Sorry, but I don't remember hearing either of those songs. The two missing songs are "Someone Took The Words Away," which came after "This House Is Empty Now," and "When It Sings" was the new one preceeding "Still," not "Fallen."

David - I'm curious to know where you were sitting. I was in section C and was actually surprised at how good the audience was (especially for Boca).

Phenomenal show, despite EC's voice cracking occasionally towards the beginning (I love the humanness and imperfections of live shows!). I was in C also (3rd row), and the person next to me had to ask the people behind us to quiet down. What is it with people needing to talk incessantly during quiet passages? And do we really need to make cell phone calls in the middle of concerts? My tickets weren't free, and I'm sure Elvis doesn't come to your workplace and disturb you and everyone else who's there (you know who you are...).
EC was very accomodating with regard to signing autographs, taking photos, etc. I asked him to sign my Dylan shirt--"Would you sign by my second-favorite songwriter?" He chuckled as he signed. Definitely a nice guy, and a wonderful performer.

Damn! Did everybody meet Elvis on this visit except me?! Where and when did you get the autograph? Before? After? By the bus? I never used to be this lazy. Of course, that was 15 or 20 years ago!

EC was autographing after the show, out by the bus. Sorry you missed out. There weren't many people there. After all, it IS Boca...
