Reviews: Elvis Presley in Concert, Motorpoint Arena

Published in The Sheffield Star on Monday 12 March 2012 10:08

 

Maybe it was ‘one more time’ too many for Elvis fans.

 

For though the King was in the building some 35 years after his untimely death, sadly the audience was thin on the ground. The last time Elvis Presley in Concert rock and rolled into town, there was barely an empty seat.

 

Yet the die-hards who did rock up at the Motorpoint Arena had a hugely memorable night.

 

Presley larged it on huge, state-of-the-art video screens as ageing and uber-talented members of the original Taking Care of Business band accompanied him live, just as they had done 40 years ago.

 

We got Presley, frozen in time at his best; handsome and strong, slender in body and huge in voice, throwing everything into his white-suited concert performances. He opened with Easy Rider, burst into Burning Love and on top of his biggest hits, he rock and rolled through the lesser-heard blues and gospel numbers he had held dear.

 

Ballads were so emotionally performed, tears pricked your eyes. American Trilogy was his most emotive, but Elvis’s heart-stoppingly beautiful version of Simon and Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water was the one that did it for me.

 

I ended up lost in that amazing voice. The charisma of a man long since gone, is still marching on.

'Trouble'/Guitar Man'/'Polk Salad Annie' from the Zurich leg of the 'Elvis In Concert' Tour on 5th March, 2012. The 'Guitar Man' segment is new to this concert I believe.

 

 

Brian :D

Front row in Belfast last night and got to shake hands with some of the stars including James Burton and Joe Guercio at the end.

 

Anyone know who the other guitarist was? He was introduced as a special guest but I couldn't hear his name over the cheers!

Norbert Putnam was on bass guitar. He is a session musician and played on over 125 Elvis tracks.

MEET n GREET - Elvis Presley In Concert, Birmingham - the last UK Show.

To mark the last ever big-format 'Elvis Presley in Concert' at the LG Arena, NEC-Birmingham on the 18th March Strictly Elvis UK is arranging for two superb get-togethers.

 

Meet & Greet the Cast (before the Show)

At around 5:30 in the afternoon we have invited the TCB Band, the Sweet Inspirations, Elvis' Imperials and Joe Guercio to come and meet the fans at the Oasis Suite of the Crowne Plaza Hotel located opposite the LG Arena. Their attendance depends on their Sound-Check and final concert arrangements being on schedule but they will all try to make it as they want to show their appreciation for your support over the years. There is no charge for this and you are all welcome. Tea and coffee will be available for purchase. **Please note that the cast will be returning to London immediately after the Show and so this will be your only opportunity to meet with them**

 

All-Elvis Disco Party (after the Show)

starting at 10:30pm in the Oasis Suite of the Crowne Plaza Hotel we have a Disco Party with DJ Mark Monaghan going through until 1:00am. Tickets are £10 each on the door but can be reserved by emailing Caro Pugh at tcb.carol@gmail.com or stopping by our Strictly Elvis Graceland Stand in the Foyer of the LG Arena before the concert or during the Interval.

Wow! That's fantastic! You must be really chuffed :cheer: I'm off to the LG Arena in Birmingham on Sunday and can't wait :dance: Thanks for the clips, Brian!

 

 

 

Hope you have a brill time Carole. :cheer:

What a night at Wembley. Absolutely amazing and easily the best 'Elvis In Concert' I have ever attended. The sound has now been perfected after twelve years. The drums were fantastic. I spoke with the sound engineer during the Interval and congratulated him. The crowd reaction was also the BEST EVER - everybody standing, shouting, screaming, waving arms, dancing. Elvis dead. Don't you believe it. He will NEVER leave the building!!!!!!!!!

 

Brian :yahoo: :dance: :yahoo:

Would really love to see one of these shows released on DVD! I have the "Elvis Lives" one but the set is fairly different now. I also dislike the way they threw in the short interview clips during it - leave those as an extra and let us concentrate on the concert.....
