Clowntime is Over!? Supremely jealous... Hope someone caught it on video! When's the last time it was played full band? 2015?

Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, Ventura Theatre, Ventura, CA, June 14, 2023

Ventura - I imagine it’s like a Yacht Rock hot spot… lots of Hawaiian shirts, lots of brain cells fried from extended beach life. Probably like lizards sitting in their seats, honestly. Not much movement going down. HAHA! I was at this show (and tonight's in LA) and you NAILED the audience vibe on ...

So jealous of this particular setlist! Glad to see EC can still dish out a decent GGMS, the last time he played it... not so good.

Re: Country Darkness

Great stuff man. You have single-handedly made me listen to The Delivery Man a bunch of times (and for the first time) after your write up of the title track. Keep it up with the lesser-known choice cuts, I say!

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Anaheim, CA, City National Grove Of Anaheim , August 30th 2022

Terrific review. Thanks. I’ve also wondered where Elvis is heading. There’s certainly a couple of different projects that we know about as well as some recorded material. Ha, it seems I was a bit wrong in my prediction already since he's playing in Australia with the Imposters next year! I think it...

Also, random thing, but I'm pretty certain that EC sang a bit of "Isabelle in Tears" during Watching the Detectives.

The "She says, "That's a good idea" as she pours herself a shot" section.

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Anaheim, CA, City National Grove Of Anaheim , August 30th 2022

Was an interesting show! I don't know what it is, but I don't jive well with the OC crowd. Last time in Anaheim back in 2018, some drunk older lady smacked her jewelry loaded wrist down on my girlfriend's head, which was quite painful according to her. Then this time a woman concertgoer came up to u...

Re: The Delivery Man

Great post! I haven't dived into TDM or much of the mid to late 2000's EC stuff, so this was an educational treat.

Re: When I Was Cruel No. 2

I don't post very often, mainly a lurker who likes to read, but I have to commend this post and the blog by notesrecliner here. Your analysis is absolutely definitive for me! I have always loved WIWC as an album, it's very mysterious and definitely found EC in his dark introspective mode and your wr...

Re: Elvis and The Imposters, Los Angeles, CA, November 13, 2021

Hello there, long time lurker here... Saw EC a number of times starting when he opened for Steely Dan a long time ago and then his book tour and every subsequent time he stops by in CA. Anyways, saw him last night and it was a great show. Felt that he was singing much clearer and stronger than in re...
