Review of concert from 002-05-19: Seattle, WA, Paramount Theater - with Imposters

SEATTLE

Elvis just blew the place up! Band was very tight and VERY LOUD. Elvis just gets better and better.

All the stuff from WIWC sounded great. It is quite a bit rowdier live than on the CD. I like "Radio Silence" and thought it was the coolest of the new things. "Dust" was also real special.

The real surprise of the evening was "How to be Dumb." What were the odds that he would play that? It was just awesome!! "I Hope You're Happy Now" and "Clowntime is Over" were also great picks from Elvis's grab bag.

The "greatest hits" type songs sounded good enough but we've all heard them many times. I think Elvis has dropped "Alison" because it would break up the jackhammer pace of the show.

All in all, a damn good show. I envy the jet setters who can go from one show to the next.
