Why can't Elvis and the boys do a proper bow?

Post by docinwestchester »

Sorry to nit pick here, but at the end of each show, the 4 of them kind of make their way to the front of the stage, look around a bit, kind of bow, then leave the stage. They hardly look at each other. On the Wiltern DVD, 2 of them exit stage left, the other 2 exit stage right. Very unorganized and kind of unprofessional looking.

By comparison, on the current Springsteen tour 16 people (!) line up, arm in arm, and acknowledge the audience. It looks nice. Small detail, and probably not important compared to the fantastic performances, but something that bugs me.

Anyone else?

Depends what fits the occasion, I've seen him at a Brodsky Quartet gig and he has given a perfectly gentlemanly 'sign off ' bow. Even on some of his solo tours the final bow is usually clearly stating that he is appreciative of the audience response

Yeah, that's what I mean. Very disjointed bow. The rest of the show is pretty damn good, however.
