BEWARE OF "LEGENDS IN CONCERT"

I have just returned from the "Legends in Concert" Ultimate Elvis Competition in Atlantic City. Fortunate for me, I had other business in Atlantic City to justify the trip. However, for many that was not the case. This production was a disgrace and a desecration to the name Elvis Presley. The band was a joke and should go to the unemployment line where they belong. Not one song was performed correctly, even with the help of sheet music! And the backup singers - Gina, Regina and Dave. OH LORD HOW GREAT THOU ART because without your help Lord I would have choked all three for not even knowing the backup lyrics to the song. The ETAs at this event all deserved better. The MC belonged in a $5 cover charge bar on one of the back streets. When performing on stage at Resorts International Hotel in Atlantic City, with the sanction of Elvis Presley Enterprises, everyone on stage and in the audience deserved a high class production. "Legends in Concert" is a two bit, make the money and run organization and should not be affiliated with Elvis Presley Enterprises. Can anyone offer their experience?

You would have seen how they quickly they pick up on each contestant's key. All of the tribute artists were great. My friend Andy Svrcek competed and did great - especially because he's only been doing this for 6-8 months. My biggest disappointment was after the show, only about 10 or 11 of them came back on stage. The others left - sour grapes I suppose.

I have to rehearse ,several times with a strange band,so they get to know my actions , to get close to my best voice, and moves..only a few times, have I jelled with a strange band instantly. As bad, as losing is, sometimes , we get lucky, and just win, by a very close margin. I hope ,this can come to a happy ending, I'm sure the band has heard, loud and clear. we have both sides, of this story in the open. I was not there. we can feel the dissapointment, of both sides.. Many are hurt. please lose the anger. Lee
