Tony
in Black Leather
I have seen Tony Roi, the
Elvis Experience I guess were pushing 20 times this year with my
sister. But who’s counting? We try to go every 2 weeks; we were
scheduled to go on the 19th of April. We read on our fan club
message board that Tony had worn his 68 Comeback black leather
outfit on the 17th, and we were heartbroken because we hadn't ever
seen him in that. Well we got to the show and were trying to find
out if Tony was going to perform in the Black Leather again, but no
luck, no one would talk.
 So
we made it to our seats, left front as always, and were sitting
there waiting and hoping he would wear it again. The band started
playing, and we stood up to greet Tony as we always do. We were
clapping and swaying, but NO TONY!!!!!!!! We looked at the
Powerhouse Band and the Angel singers, which are awesome by the way,
we see them smiling.
Then we hear Tony singing in the
back; we look around with this confused look on our face, and out he
comes in his BLACK LEATHER. (OMG) We just lost our minds; we went to
screaming and jumping around hanging on to each other. We found out
later after the show from Dino Phillips, the drummer, that we should
have seen the ladies face beside us. He said when we screamed it
scared the poor woman to death (oops we bad).
Tony performed 2 new songs we hadn't heard him sing before, "Rubberneckin"
and "Don’t Cry Daddy". And what a job he did too! At one point in
the show, he sang "You’re the Devil In Disguise". He looked straight
at my sister and said to her, “You’re the devil in disguise.” She
could have wet her pants, (Sorry Sis LOL). She went to jumping
around and screaming. Tony’s EYES popped out of his head! That look
was priceless (like “What have I done?”).
It was an absolutely unbelievable performance. The first half was
nothing but ELECTRIFYING entertainment. He kept us on the edge of
our seats and out of them too. And of course he took time out to let
all us fans drool on him and get our pictures taken with him (any
pose you want by the way). And that was only the first half!
So now we were at the second half and still just in awe over the
first half! Thinking “Oh Boy, now what?” He comes out with the same
energy he had during the first half. I just don’t know where he gets
his energy from. I guess from us screaming fans; the more you
scream, the more he gives. He will tell you it's his house, let your
hair down. If you can’t let it down, take it off! To hear Tony sing"
Mountain" and "Sylvia" will just bring tears to your eyes. He really
puts his heart and soul into it.
It is the most action packed two hours plus you will ever spend.
After the show, Tony greets and signs autographs for us. He is such
a special person; no matter how long the line is, the last person
gets the same attention as the first person did. That’s what Tony’s
fans (lol) mean to him. We know he loves everyone of us, and he will
tell you straight up. Without us, his FANS, he wouldn't be here. And
We Love Him Too!!
So if you want to see what all the talk is about and why Tony Roi is
Branson’s Critic’s Best Performer for two years in a row, just check
out all the reviews on Tony on bransoncritic.org. Everyone is just
in the same awe as we are! So if you come to Branson, be sure to
check Tony out at the Music City Centre. You won’t be disappointed,
and the theater has the friendliest staff you will ever want to
meet.
Oh by the way, the lady we scared in the first half, well she was
screaming right along with us in the second half and she even joined
Tony’s club.
