Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Yes - also waiting till tomorrow for Southend.
Succumbed to row B tickets for Nottingham and Plymouth though!!!

I can see when on sale now!!

Definitely Southend.
One of Nottingham or Plymouth (or maybe both!)
Can't see when tickets on sale?

This was a must for me with Nick Lowe on the bill. Hoping for a bit of Elvis sings Nick and Nick sings Elvis stuff. Got some fairly decent tickets late last night on a presale before it was officially meant to start. Agree generally against festival performances but as only 3 acts from 6pm the setli...

Bunch of cloth-eared reprobates. They are pretty bad judges of films, even worse of songs.
Annette Bening should also have been nominated, although Frances McDormand should win.

verbal gymnastics wrote:I am so pleased to reread this thread. It's without doubt one of - if not the best Elvis gig and night I've ever had.

Yes it is good to read again. If not the best then certainly in the top three. Makes you itch to see a run of Imposters gigs in 2018!

Perhaps the version without the strings will be on the b-side of the 7" single :lol: You'd hope it might be The Last Days Of My Youth but more likely to be Pump It Up, as it's on the soundtrack, or not happen at all. Unless something changes, we are in the part where he only makes records when...

Just bought it on iTunes. Hope a 7" single will follow - you never know.
It's a decent enough big ballad; no God Give Me Strength but 500% better than She.

The Norwich one is where I bought my car and get it serviced.
Let's hope there's special offers for customers!!

For goodness sake Elvis just get in the studio with The Imposters and Nick Lowe and bash out a new album.
You know it's time.

Mine took 3 days longer - sent 21st and arrived today.
Norfolk is a bit out of the way......

I bet the guy who paid £238 is less than happy........

I watched one of these 10" singles on ebay just to see what it went for.
Any guesses?







£238!!!!!!!!!!!!
(plus postage)

Missed out on the vinyl over the weekend as I was away (boohoo - though may have been too pricy) Just downloaded and probably just as well I didn't shell out. Elvis's vocals are good on American Tune but I think Questlove's drumming is too intrusive and unecessary; think Pete would have done a bette...

Could it be Kojak Variety 2 is on it's way?- it's been promised for a long time.
Don't know where Lord Buckethead fits in though......

My copy arrived today!
They do exist in the UK - mine number 588.
Sounds extremely good - no surface noise at all. Even The Long Division sounds good!

I ordered my copy in the UK from Scott Nangle - bigger outlets don't seem to have it.
Emailed them yesterday to check availabilty and they had 50 copies in stock but had already sold 47 - 48 now with my order!
Act fast all!
Looking forward to hearing it+++++

I love it that WBA have been original for their programme covers - looking online the Chris Brunt one is not the only one - they are all based on classic album covers this season. The With the Beatles and Born in the USA ones are great. They are probably more entertaining than most of their matches...

Tonight vs Burnley is Dark Side of the Moon!

I agree with most of the comments above. Much as I liked the Detour gigs, I loved this - it was the dog's bollocks!!! Sorry to miss board members - the Phil pub (and much of the surrounding area) seemed to be full of John Moores University graduating students and their families so we went straight t...

We're going to this one after a weekend visiting family up north.
Have to avoid seeing the Roundhouse setlist until then!

The Stamping Ground would take my vote every time. Horrible dirge. She would be second to last - at least The Stamping Ground is never played in concert - why we have to suffer She is beyond all reason. Broken next. Tramp the Dirt Down also in the mix - and similarly overplayed in concert. God's Com...

I agree that it was an extremely good show. Great to hear a lot of new songs - hopefully something new is happening soon. Seems the bald head is now more acceptable and the constant hat-wearing out! Shades also back in. Seemed very relaxed and the audience was good. Just have to accept having heard ...

You're wondering now - fantastic and in honour of Horace Panter. Sulky - I hope you got this for posterity... :wink: By the way, what time did Larkin Poe do their set? VG - You're wondering now was for John Bradbury, the Specials drummer, who died recently. Pictured on screen after Dan Hicks. Larki...
