Elvis takes a front row seat
Little has been been reported on Elvis' recent gigs in Sheffield and Buxton , U.K. Some photos have appeared from the former ; a fan has this brief comment on Buxton -
.......after 'Alison', sitting on the edge of the stage, EC spotted an empty
seat in Row 1, and announced "Think I'll watch the band!", and we had a fab 'Almost Blue' sung from the seat!!
It was a fabulous show. Shorter than others from this tour. 1hr 55 mins, but a great atmosphere. After the sitting on the stage Alison / Suspicious Minds and then the aforementioned 'Almost Blue' from his seat on the front row the audience mood lifted higher and the cheers were much louder. Everyone was out of their seats for the last three songs and Elvis seemed in a great mood throughout.
A beautiful version of 'God Give Me Strength' and a number of other songs not on recent setlists. I remember hearing 'Brilliant Mistake' and I'm fairly certain there was something else of note but it has slipped my mind.
The venue is gorgeous and sound was pretty good throughout.
