    ELVIS spotted in New York City............

    Took my daughter yesterday to the "Elvis in Concert" touring show at Radio City Music Hall here in NYC. It was great to see James burton (Guitarist) Ronnie Tutt (Drummer), Glen Hardin (Pianist), Joe Guercio (conductor) The imperials and the Sweet Inspirations (backup/chorus) performing all together again with Elvis. Wow, Fantastic show with a Virtual Elvis on screen singing some of his mega hits (Music was live and rockin'). Place was completely sold out... for a man that has been gone for over 33 years. We had a great time, and did i mention that there were multiple standing ovations after some songs. My daughter told me after the show "Wow, Elvis was and will Always be the KING".



    Elvis Presley in Concert is returning to the Great Stage at Radio City Music Hall for a one-night-only special presentation on Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 8PM. Elvis Presley In Concert is an astounding production that reunites former Elvis band mates live on stage with a state of the art video-projected Elvis.

    The show's concept is to present an authentic as possible Elvis Presley concert pulled together from a collection of Elvis' finest concert performances including Elvis, That's The Way It Is (1970) and Elvis on Tour (1972) which is projected on a large video screen. On stage, a 16-piece orchestra and some of Elvis' original band mates, including Joe Guercio, Elvis' orchestra conductor, and members from The Imperials and The TCB Band, will perform live to accompany the video. All music heard in the concert production is performed live except for Elvis' voice and on either side of the performance screen features live action on the stage.

    I wondered how good that show would be (heard ads on the radio). I'm happy to hear that you and your daughter has such a great time!

        Here's a bit of trivia. Does anyone know what famous singer's mother was one of The Sweet Inspirations?

        Whitney Houston's mom

          Cissy Houston! Elvis had a nickname for her...it was "Squirrelly". He really loved Cissy and the rest of the Sweet inspirations. Sometimes jamming gospel songs with them for hours after a show.

              Oh, wow!!! Wish I could have been there for that!

              I caught the 25th anniversary show in Memphis in 2002 and it was great! There were moments when one could almost believe it was a live Elvis concert.

              That 2002 Memphis show is now available on DVD.

                Elvis trivia:

                http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62s5QIB3WXE

                The man who wrote this song was a very accomplished songwriter and an easily recognizable personality in his own right. How is this songwriter connected to Elvis' first Billboard #1 single and first gold record?
