Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Not everyone had a bad Amazon experience. My copy turned up right on time Friday as promised. First impressions? More Painted From Memory than Imperial Bedroom, but thankfully not exactly like either (they are two of my favourites, but we never want same again from our man, do we?). At times, it fe...

The S*N tweeted an article to which Elvis replied "Typical “S*N” laziness. People who can’t write for people who can’t think. Don’t need your sympathy. Tell that to the 96 @elviscostello" I presume Elvis's issue is that said rag has headlined the story in a way that suggests Elvis is 'bat...

His doctor has strongly advised him to take a break from his current tour itinerary and rest. Ticket holders should go ...

Apparently full refunds inc booking fee will be available from Sounds of the City official outlet/point of purchase.

He's tweeted that full explanation will be given after tomorrow's show in Amsterdam.
Hope things are not too serious.

Now all I have to hope for is that Elvis's voice is back on song!

Not wanting to get to ahead of things, but I hope there is a contingency plan should a clash with an important football match arise. Are England due to play anyone that night f they get that far? I am sure I cant be the only one who watched Elvis play with the Sugarcanes in Hyde Park at the same ti...

I've seen a few things at the Castlefield Bowl and I think it's not a bad outdoor venue and doesn't feel like it has an 8,000 capacity. Sound has been good, easy to see the stage, plenty of good food and drink places nearby.

No comfy seats though!

From 'No particular place' onwards this was top drawer.

"Like you've all come round to my house to hear some new songs"

Well that was rather wonderful. I was slightly worried that it might end up as a 'Detour with band' night, but no, definitely no. [Don't get me wrong I loved the Detour shows] Sound was a bit echoey from where I was to start but hit the spot from 'Flutter and Wow' onward - in fact a lot of the eveni...

Absolutely wonderful, brings a smile to my face hearing these tracks and not understanding a word of them.

Erich's XTC covers are also pretty entertaining too.

This was on Sky Arts last night!

I only know as I've got Live from the Artists Den on series record, though the "series" is pretty sporadic. What I saw was good, but the bloody YouView box only managed to record half of it

All the clips seem to be at Erics in Liverpool.

If you have a talktalk YouView box you get Sky Arts for free.

Late goal for Morton today

My Elvis watching over the years has usually been when he plays Liverpool or Manchester. I was at the recent (Manchester) Bridgewater Hall gig, somewhere he has played some excellent gigs before (though I must admit the John Harle in 1996 one was er, difficult!). I think one of the factors in him pl...

Wonderful, marvellous, "The Ken Dodd of Manchester" someone said behind me (which was in the direction of Bradwellboy - good call on 3 Sons by the way) as he started yet another song. It felt like it could go on forever with great surprises (Dr Luther's Assistant I KNOW!!). That big yellow...

Very enjoyable. A 90 minutes that has seen fit to be watched again several times for me. Of course there were things missed out, you can't please all the people... But it was so good to see something that didn't just lazily concentrate on 77-82. Someone up thread remarked about it helped 'get Elvis'...

Was a little strange, it didn't quite get going for me until 'Tokyo Storm Warning' and then we were off! Plenty of highlights, loved 'Sleep of the Just' and 'She'. Almost seemed to me that he went into the Greatest Hits section too early, that there should have been another spin of the wheel. Did he...

Tis a long time since I've been to an EC gig as good as this one was. Both me and Mrs Worth have been grinning all day and eliciting memories of a wonderful 2 hours and 40 minutes! Many, many highlights, the Josephine section, the Trust/imperial Bedroom themed segment, a fantastic National Ransom, j...

Excellent cwr!

I shall be there. Really looking forward to it! I wasn't there in 2002 at the Apollo, but I had been at the Kings Dock show in Liverpool a couple of moths earlier and been disappointed for the first time at a Costello gig, he seemed tired and weary. As a consequence, despite the pleading of a fellow...

Phew! Removing lots of other commitments from the diary has meant delaying purchase of tickets until now. Have got to say am most impressed the http://www.bookingsdirect.com site mentioned on the posters and http://www.elviscostello.com found three close to the front of the circle tickets at Manches...

Excellent stuff, mucho big smiles as this was passed round my friends on a iPhone in the pub last night.

Christmas single?
