The Night That The Guitar Roadie Got Killed

We'll call this concert The Night That The Guitar Roadie Got Killed....at least I assume they'll find the body tomorrow. The problems started out in something like the third song, the guitar (just handed to him for this song) was horribly out of tune, so Elvis takes it off, and motions to the guitar guy to get him another one pronto....Elvis jerks the patch cable out of the guitar and apparently breaks it doing so - or seriously screws it up....So new guitar, while in tune only works sporadically, he is constantly playing with the cord...enter new roadie with new patch cables to hook him up, all while playing away. Then guitar roadie tries to hand him back previously mentioned out of tune guitar that must have been made all better, Elvis won't take it.....then when the encore comes. Elvis makes it all the way on stage without a guitar being handed to him, so he crosses the stage to the guitar corner where the roadie usually was. No roadie, so he crosses back over the stage to where he entered from and there came the roadie with the guitar.....someone is toast. I'll watch the news and let you all know when they find the body.

(About the setlist),no suprises. No North stuff, though the t-shirt does say it is the first concert for North...
