I forgot to mention he also played Big Tears.
I realize that one of the songs i didn't immediately recognize was All
I Wanna Do, and early Beatles track.
In Daily variety's review of the show, they say that one of the other
songs i didn't recognize was a new tune called American Gangster Time.
It was a very cool tune as well.
I'm still high from the show a couple nights ago!
And by the way, if you read that Variety review, the critic didn't get
Elvis Wednesday night. In no way, shape, or form, did Elvis NOT want
to be there. I've seen the man perform 25 times; he was intense, and
ready to go. Elvis has a history of coming out and blistering his way
through many tracks right off the bat; that he did that Wednesday
night, without alot of banter between songs, should not be interpreted
as a lack of interest. Anything but; instead, he was on fire.
Dig it.
