Elvis

Celine and I went to see Elvis at The Tabernacle. This is the third time I've seen Elvis. The first was at Chastain, and the man put on a show. The second time was at Austin City Limits Music Festival, and the man put on a show. Elvis is going to be on the ACL on 12 March, btw. The third was the best, however. The Tabernacle is a great venue -- it's big enough to have raucous energy but small enough to be intimate. Elvis can belt out the tunes, now, and the Imposters did a great job backing him up. The bassist had this wierd Brad Pitt--Kid Rock thing going, but it worked. The man on the keyboards was an out-of-his-skull muppet who just shredded everything in his way like a razor-keen santoku. Righteous.
