Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Very similar setlist as Nashville but four songs less. I remember the days when EC would do almost completely different shows from night to night.

My 31st show, which I know is paltry compared to some of you.

I'm going tonight. Would love to hear a few songs from Get Happy. It just won the poll for favorite album, right? Come on, Elvis!

10/30/99 Hard Rock Live, Orlando: Elvis and Steve. 3-hours, 40 songs. Roger McGuinn came out for 3 or 4 songs. Had seats in the front and moved down to the stage at the end for an off-mic Couldn't Call It Unexpected No. 4. When EC used to hand write his setlists: 1999-10-30_Orlando_stage_setlist.jpg

This is from memory and I was drinking heavily so it's probably close. Was able to hear some of the sound check since we were in a club inside the arena before the show. I mentioned to the wife that they were checking Oliver's Army which they had not played yet this tour. She asked if that was a new...

A friend sent me this review: Enjoyed the first part with just the Orchestra, the musicians were amazing. Highlights: 1) All This Useless Beauty 2) Painted from Memory 3) Almost Blue (great arrangement) 4) God Give Me Strength Special Notes: 1) Loved the "jazziness" of Watching The Detecti...

Over on the Jazzfest Forum, http://www.nojazzfest.com/chat/forum.php?forumid=1 , almost everyone is raving about EC's performance and blasting Dave Matthews.

Just back from the Orlando House of Blues Show. Wow! What a start to the US tour. 2 solid, rocking hours with maybe 2 or 3 short breaks and no encore! Quite a difference from years past when shows often had 3-5 encores. A large, very appreciative crowd, singing at the right time and amazingly quiet ...

Now I am angry. We already booked our flights and really wanted to see both EC and Jack Johnson. Unfortunately, they are playing at the same time on two different stages. Also, EC is only playing an hour so it will probably be a greatest hits show of songs we have heard many times. So, we are cancel...

Veronica and Motel Matches? Those two would have made the show for me.

Too bad the Florida shows were not as long as the recent gigs. Perhaps it was due to EC feeling bad as he is playing about a 1/2 hour longer these days.

No 45? Should be at least #45.

Wow. Certainly a better list than Jax. Would have traded Rocking Horse Road/Inch by Inch/Mystery Dance for Alison/Pump It Up/Watching the Detectives any day of the week. Well, I'm off to Tampa today so maybe I'll have the chance. My guess is that he'll try to be different from Clearwater since it's ...

I wrote this before reading the review so it gives a slightly different perspective, from a true fan. Last night at the seventy-six year old Florida Theatre in Jacksonville, Elvis Costello and Steve Nieve delivered a concert with historic proportions. The two-hour show was a fantastic mix of hits an...

I am so excited to be attending the first gig of the tour tonight in Jacksonville. Should be great fun!
