March 5, 201411 yr Thanks for letting us know, Brian! Looks like ticket sales have been really good in the UK and I'm sure that Europe will probably be similar. Can't wait to see the show. I guess it will be just a little different to the ones I've seen before with the TCB Band B-)

Brian B-) Looks like it was a real success! I was at the Birmingham show and I thoroughly enjoyed it, as usual. I will say, though, that it wasn't quite the same as the ones I'd seen before because Elvis' original band and backing singers weren't there and I have to admit, their presence always made it very special. The band and singers who were there were all great musicians though! One question, Brian, if you are able to answer it is, I know the original band are obviously all getting older, but I see the TCB band are still performing in gigs, particularly in Europe, so why were they not asked to perform in these concerts?

Hi Tilly, I suspect the reasoning behind the change in musical personnel was two-fold: (a) this latest tour was supposed to replicate a typical Vegas Concert from 1970 and therefore audience size was limited to what it was then - around 2000. In doing so it limited the box-office gross compared to the big arena concerts. Therefore it was much cheaper to employ local musicians/singers than the TCB Band/Sweets/Imperials etc. whom I am assured demand large pay packets. (b) The new concert featured was in its embryo stage and was a try out for future productions without the TCB Band etc. as, unfortunately, they are much older now and will no doubt be considering retiring in the not too distant future. The show must go on (as they say). However, the Stig Edgren website still shows that the original version of the concert with the original musicians/singers will continue to play 'selected dates' in tandem with the newer concert featuring younger musicians.

Brian Thank you so much, Brian, for answering my question. I enjoyed the new show but I would love to again see the original version whilst the guys are still performing!
