Here's a clip from the concert last night. The show is a contemporary take on what Elvis would be doing today, the show features studio musicians who work on many number one records today! It was a test run to see the fans reactions. The show does need some tweaking but it's awesome. I will post more thoughts and comments from fans and the cast soon.
