Elvis Costello Fan Forum

That reminds me: Anyone know if we're going to be stuck with the background singers forever? Will we ever see EC & Is as a four-piece again?

Agreed: I was at it for a good 40 minutes for the Capitol and wasn't offered one seat in the center orchestra. WTF?I Is this Ticketfly holding them back for the "secondary market"? It's a disgrace.

BA is right. I don't even bother with pre-sales anymore....only a relative handful of seats are put on sale that way. It's just a gimmick for the marks.

No NYC shows...again. Looks like I'm headed to Port Chester.

I can't for the life of me understand why he hasn't played the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn yet.

Hmmm....if EC's doing a full set, I may have to reconsider.

A little surprised at all the excitement over this mini-tour. Given the co-headline setup, EC's set is sure to be short and greatest-hits-y, and I'd imagine he and the Imps will be the opening band on half the dates. I particularly expect that to be the case in NYC, Blondie's (and my) hometown, and ...

Anyone know of a NYC record store that'd be likely to carry this?

Thanks

An "Elvis-adjacent" post, if you will: I just learned that I'll be having surgery on 4/11 and will thus be unable to make Nick's (sold-out) show on 4/13.

So, I'm selling my tic (at cost, of course). Anyone interested?

Thanks

Who cares about the UK? Where are the New York dates??

This Year's Model
Get Happy!!
Blood and Chocolate
King of America
Brutal Youth

WTF is going on with the recurring sound issues on this tour???

Some strange town/venue choices.

NJ: No Newark or Montclair or Englewood, but TWO shore towns, Atlantic City and Asbury Park
NY: No Manhattan or Brooklyn, but Verona (!)
PA: No Philly or Pittsburgh, but Bethlehem (!)

So why would he have scheduled all these multiple-night runs in the first place?

If anyone has an extra tic, I'd love to make this show....especially as 1) STILL no NYC dates on this tour and 2) it's on Election Day and I'm going to need all the distraction I can get.

Thanks

I'd been hoping that by now NYC shows would have been announced. Now, I'm wondering if I should try to score a tic for Asbury Park. (Anyone got a spare?)

Also: Asbury is on Election Day, and I'm gonna need all the distraction I can get....but damn, I hate having to schlep to Jersey!

Encouraging indeed.....now: where are the NYC shows?

I dunno....these cancellations/postponements seem to have gotten more frequent in recent years. Does anyone know what his surgery was for?

Short set tonight, eh?

This show clearly looks like the standout so far....

Not IMpossible, I meant....

I have to believe they'll be NY shows following the album release.

And, just for the record: It IS possible to go on tour and use ticket sellers other than Ticketmaster and LN. Difficult, maybe, but possible.

Has this site's management even posted an explanation/apology for the outages this week? I haven't seen one.....

Yeah....

1) WTF was up with this site last night?

2) Set list looks about identical to the NY shows in March. Meh.
