Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Apropos of nothing in particular, but a thoughtful, elegant observation:

See, now this has turned into an interesting conversation! I'll have to have a listen to "Broken" today. Never paid it much attention one way or another. Maybe it's horrible. For the record... Three worst EC songs: Playboy to a Man, My Three Sons, Party Party. Two worst things EC has ever ...

i guess as a guy who loved ALIBI back when it was ALIBI FACTORY in 1999, the song could do me no wrong, any version. May i especially recommend the LIVE IMPOSTERS take from October 28, 2002 from Newark, New Jersey....killer NEIL YOUNG style. 8) 8) That Newark show was terrific. The a capella versio...

BA... I, for one, wholly approve of (occasionally) polling people on "worst"s in regard to EC, or any artist. A while back I'd asked the Wiki crew to name his three worst songs, and I got some really indignant responses. My attitude has always been that, yes, this is a fan's site and we're...

..... does anyone else find Muriel’s interruptions really irritating? "Really irritating" is a bit strong I think. The whole thing is what it is. So looking forward to the next 50..... This captures it for me. I've watched every one, and I think you just need to get into the feeling of be...

Who IS Raphael, anyway?

I was really hoping for "Twenty-Five to Twelve" today. Wouldn't that have been great?

EC mentioned doing an online appearance/performance "mid-week." Anyone know what/when this is?

"London's Brilliant"!...First time EVER!!

Infected--but recovering--here in the hot zone, NYC. Stay safe, all.

Gotta say, I'd be loving these a lot more if Steve was solo

Did anyone notice him doing a bit of "Busy Bodies"(!) a few days ago...?

Okay, you Brit punters. This show ended, like, four hours ago. Where's the setlist?! Videos?

Bummed to see he's still using those video projections. They're lame, and distracting as fuck.

A fucking disgrace. Full stop.

A fucking disgrace. Full stop.

Is there no footage of him actually winning? Was he on the broadcast?

Does anyone know if he's doing any other dates, in other cities?

That was Red Cotton. Great, if brief, performance on that show!

Blame It on Cain was awesome!

Episode of Blonde! Did anyone video this?

..with opening band THE REPLACEMENTS!!!

There seems to be something "off" about him this tour...some nights more pronounced than others. Worrisome...

Very encouraged by the lengthened set list!

I've been so accustomed to his preternaturally high energy level over the years that I took it for granted. But it really, finally hit me on Wednesday night: He's a 65-year-old man...and a cancer survivor at that.

I corresponded with a friend after the show. His take (which I think is pretty spot-on): The show made me sad in a way. He’s gotten older. He was sick and you can tell. It’s the first time I sensed a weakness in him. He’s always been so mighty. He had breathing issues for sure. Range issues. The mix...
