I didn't think this would be a co-headlining show.

Re: Elvis with Billy Joel 12/19/23

During the 1984 solo tour, EC would introduce Motel Matches (while at the keyboard) with the quip "This is a Billy Joel song. It's called Just The Way You Are."

Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater, Bridgeport, CT, July 5,

A casual fan's worst nightmare, but this was an amazing show. On par with the last few Gramercy shows but with a better setlist. Like EC said, it was the first night of what is essentially a new tour with lots of deep tracks and alternate arrangements. They probably could use a bit more rehearsal ac...

Keith Carlock is a beast of a drummer. He's been with the Steely Dan tour for many years and always a highlight of their shows. Was he the drummer in the band for their 2015 Rockabye Gollie Angel tour with EC & IMPOSTERS we saw at PNC?? Yes! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/640x480q90/924/mQ2...

Re: 10 NIGHTS AT THE GRAMERCY NYC FEB 2023

I'm assuming these will be solo shows, even though he did not explicitly state this on Fallon's show.

I'd prefer full band, but 200 songs is a bit much to prepare, right?

Re: Look-Hear-Listen-Now, Edinburgh, May 28, 2022

A very similar thing happened here in the U.S. Eric Church cancelled a concert so he could attend a huge college basketball game last month. He rescheduled it later this year in a different city in Texas: https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2022/04/01/eric-church-new-concert-san-antonio-canceled-final-...
