Elvis Looks Great & Alive! at Collins Theatre

The link posted is for a sample of The Ultimate Oldies Concert at the Collins Theatre.  Marvin and I have seen 3 of these exciting shows and the one we just saw provided an evening of Rock n' Roll from the 60s, and early 70s.  Quite a few of the new people we've met from Rector attended also, and we all enjoyed Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Billy Joel, Neil Diamond, and even Etta James and Whitney Houston to name a few of the celebreties showcased in the show.  One of our acquaintances plays bass guitar in the band and his daughter is also a really sweet and friendly young lady.
My favorites of the evening included "Killing Me Softly" and "I Will Always Love You."  There is not a show in Branson that could rival these performers.  A husband-wife duo (The Morris') sang "Unforgettable."  Thin Elvis made his entrance to the traditional Space Odyssey and had all the moves and the tunes.  He looked great for being 76 and dead.
The evening was a smash hit with us and with the other 500 who attended Saturday night.  A Friday night show was equally well-attended.  We were out "partying" way past our curfew (ha, ha), but it was worth skipping that nap before bedtime.
