Elvis Costello Fan Forum

This was a great performance. Elvis and crew were really loose and rocking, especially Davy. Burnt Sugar was a highlight. Much better than the studio version. They also played Unwanted Number

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the performances of Elvis Costello & The Imposters scheduled for February 28 and March 2, 3, 7, 9 and 10 at the Encore Theatre inside the Wynn Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada have been cancelled. Ticket purchasers may receive a full refund from their point ...

Don't know for sure, but I think so.

After one day of going on sale to the public, the premium bundles and Price Level 1 tickets (i.e., the first five rows) and the limited cheap seats (the corners of the last few rows of the mezzanine) are now all sold out for ALL of the shows. However, none of the shows have completely sold out yet.

Tickets just went on sale to the public today and the best tickets sold out fast. As of the time that I type this, the date on which there are still tickets available for the premium bundles or Price Level 1 ($150) is Wednesday, March 7. Glad I moved quickly.

FYI

For those who have been to the Wynn/Encore in LV before (they share the same parking garage), they recently started charging for parking.

Also, the theater is pretty small. Pretty sure the capacity is less than 2,000 seats.

Also got tickets for March 10. The credit card I unsuccessfully tried to use when I tried to by my ticket for March 3 the first time worked this time. Weird.

I think two shows is my limit. I think my wife might be ok with that.

Got tickets for March 3 too. The website was glitchy for me too. I also had to use an alternate credit card

As a Vegas resident, this is very tempting. Not sure how thrilled my wife would be if I propose seeing Costello six nights in a row.

I know....I wanted him to open the show with it.

Me too. A very underrated song

He called it that last night, thanked the crew and everything, but they are slated for that mountain top gig... hard to believe they'd get it all back together for one show. Unless it's a very large check Seems like it will be an Imposters show as that is how the show has been advertised, and the f...

Oops. There was. I will edit the list. Good catch. That's what happens when I try to post setlists while at work.

I believe an audience recording exists. If someone could upload it at one of the usual places, I'd be very grateful.

Rumor has it that "No Dancing" was played at the Vermont show. I should be able to confirm whether this is true or not in the near future.

I have heard it. It's good.

Your Cooperstown masterpiece is already up. It's great even with the missing 90 seconds in PLU.

Still don't have a setlist yet but if you look in one of the usual places, it is my understanding that you should be able to hear this entire show yourself in a day or so.

Shot with his Own Gun was also played

One of my closest friends went but it's already past his bedtime so I've got no details on the set list other than Red Shoes was played as was Alison. There isn't even an entry at fm set list for this show yet. Hopefully I'll get some details tomorrow

wow. I hope someone got some audio or video of Boy with a Problem

Wanted to add one minor quibble. There were two large video screens at each side of the stage. However, during the whole show, both screens exclusively showed just the Barney Bubbles-esqe art. It would have been nice if they at least occasionally showed close ups of the band or Elvis, given that the...

These 2 reviews really nailed it. My sentiments regarding this show mirror both reviews

My favorite was Almost Blue. Just sublime. Dedicated to Diane, who apparently is in Milwaukee (coincidentally where I used to live before moving out west). Second favorite was This House is Empty Now. Good match for the mellow vibe of crowd, which didn't seem to wake up until near the end of the sho...
