Elvis & The Imposters, Saratoga, CA, Mountain Winery, Aug. 27 & Sept. 4, 2022

Post by Man out of Time »

Elvis and The Imposters with Charlie Sexton will play the Mountain Winery, in Saratoga, CA, on Saturday, August 27th and again, to close their North American tour, on Sunday September 4th. The second date was added after the show in Las Vegas scheduled for September 3rd was cancelled.

Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets will open the show on both nights. It is also likely that Nicole Atkins will make an appearance for a few songs in Elvis' set.

Elvis and the Imposters played the same venue in 2014 and way back in 2002. Elvis has also played the Mountain Winery with Allen Toussaint (and The Imposters) in 2006 and with The Sugarcanes in 2009.

TIckets are still available for both shows, priced from $75 to $400 for the Saturday night show and from $59.50 for the Sunday night show.

Who's going?

I'll say this: If 18-19-song setlists are going to be the norm going forward, count me out.

They’ve been the norm on this tour.

The UK tour was 23 songs or so.

Some of it depends on the set time though. If you’re playing for 2 hours or so and you include a 14 minute I want you or 10 minute Watching the Detectives then that will impact on the number of songs.

Personally instead of a 14 minute I want you I’d rather see 4 other songs.

Remember the days of 30-35 songs?

The thirty song show will return I promise. Probably solo like that Jersey iconic evening Mr.N. Pane. And dear VG...many of us feel similarly to want to trade an epic saga for an extra song or three...but it is artistic freedom/license. Let him do what he pleases. BUT, Arboghastly, FEW of us feel like you. :shock: I will gladly count you and your negativity OUT eight days of any old week. Your relentless complaints grow tedious and leave me pondering whether you derive ANY pleasure from the body of work that EC gives to us. And please forgive me for being reprimanding ba yet again with you...but know I only choose to chide you after every 75 or so negative posts from you!! Find another act and fan page that better suits your desires at last!!! Or.....learn to let it be, relax a bit and enjoy more.

It’s a personal preference. I’m not a big fan of I want you. Watching him do a lengthy Detectives will not see any complaints from me - it’s visually stunning. God knows how many versions I’ve seen over the years.

By the way, I don’t need to let him do as he pleases, although to be fair he has played songs that I’ve requested, either as shout outs at gigs or when I’ve seen him after a show and requested a song which he has then played the next night. You can’t believe the smile that puts on my face and especially when I next see him to say thanks.

Great show last night! I’ll take 18-19 songs any day.

No Nick-EC combo tunes but there was mention it might happen on 9/4. Looks like I’ll have to make another trek to Saratoga. Not a fan of the Mt Winery vibe, but I’ll make the trek for EC/Imps + Nick Lowe!!!! Yes, Summer 2022 ya’ll. Peace.

Cool beans vg. ..I didn't know you helped with setlists. I know you are only voicing your simple desires in a polite way. Never a problem here and I sha'n't reprimand a good egg like you. FRIENDS always!!!

It was a great show tonight. Perhaps a top 5 show for me.
The first song was Heart of the City not WFTEOW.
They also sound checked with a country song that felt familiar but was not on Almost Blue. We were in the parking lot and couldn’t quite make it out. Any ideas?

Amazing show. I made it but wasn’t feeling 100%. Too damn hot. The Irish can’t handle the heat as my mother used to say. It would have been her 89th bday yesterday, 4 years gone. I was sort of wishing I was on the east coast - on the beach-with my family. Sort of lame of me, I guess.

Elvis said Mtn Winery is one of his and DK’s favorite venues. It is a great spot but a major haul if your coming from north bay. Plus the staff always end of giving me a hard time for some reason. I guess I look homeless, mental, or something. One gal thought I was displaying a mobile ticket from another show. I can’t really sit still at most shows. That’s why GA is the way to go - for me. Maybe me shifting around looks odd. ADD is a real thing. Plus, restless leg syndrome. Go figure.

EC said the other half of Rusty was there (Allan Mayes). Spotted Bill Kirchen and Austin de Lone enjoying the show.

Hope they loop back to the Bay Area soon and play in SF or Oakland.

Is “Maybe just this once” the “Lyndon Johnson” song and is this its proper title?

It's the same song. I don't think we know its proper title.
