Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Another reissue, another shakedown.

EC played "Nightingale" (Brinsley Schwarz) and "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding?" (also Brinsley Schwarz). He watched as Chris Difford (with Melvin Duffy accompanying) played "Messed Around" but did not participate. Difford also played "Cool ...

No. Spring for some proper artwork, FFS!

And while we're at it, get rid of the ghastly video backdrops in the live show!

This aired earlier today and will be available soon in FMU's archives...

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!!!
