Elvis Costello and the Imposters November 11, 2019 Hard Rock Live Orlando, Florida

Elvis' "Just Trust" tour made one of its four Florida stops here in the Mickey City. It dawned on me as I was watching that I hadn't seen Elvis live in 30 years (4/18/1989) and this was going to be a much different show. Elvis and the band (Pete Thomas, Steve Nieve and Davey Faragher) sounded really good. The background vocalists (Briana Lee and Kitten Kuroi) were a nice addition- at first. They moved to a more prominent role midway through the set, which in my opinion was a bit much. Keeping them in the background would have made the show more enjoyable for me. Nice variety in the set list, and with as much material as Elvis has to choose from, it must have been tough narrowing it down. Notable omissions for me were Less Than Zero, (I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea, This Year's Girl and The Beat. Be sure to visit (revisit) Elvis' huge back catalog as well as his 2018 effort "Look Now". Enjoy this one!

What a great show! There was a gorilla that ran through the audience and took people on stage to spin the wheel and request a song. I was in the front row and though for sure that damn gorilla was gonna grab me. Can't image telling the gorilla to hold on while I hand my recorder to my wife. Very entertaining show, and sound is quite good. Enjoy this one!
