    Saw the show last night in Manchester, This was my second time seeing the show, I have to say it was bloody amazing. There was a great atmosphere and the crowd went wild on several occasions which made the experience all the more special.

    The band were really tight and there were several times I had to remind myself that they were really playing live the sets were that close to the originals.

    It was a really fantastic experience.

    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.

    I was at the Odyseey Arena, Belfast last night, my 4th time seeing this,I think last night was the best. The arena was packed to the rafters, the crowd were singing along,clapping,screaming etc and the atmosphere was amazing. Did my heart proud to see so many people of all ages being entertained by the main man. 35 years on and still wowing us.*****

    Good to hear Bill. Glad you had a great time. I am looking forward to seeing both London concerts this week-end in London.
