Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I really love there matrices !
Even the ones in ECIS from the dim abs distant past that weren’t always 100% accurate

I’m not articulate or knowledgeable enough to pass comment on corporate fascism or the machinations of big business on a global scale but like Top Balcony’s relatives, I’ve worked in the health service and seen the wrecking of lives add health caused by Covid ! It’s not a made up disease or a propag...

Surely they don't get much more famous than BA, VG and John Foyle ? -
at least in my world !!

It just struck my mind that EC&A did a John Peel session July 25th which pre-dates this with a couple of days. http://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php/Radio_1977-07-25_John_Peel Good point! Bruce categorically denied ever re- recording MAIT at the tiny studios at Roche in Cornwall when JF ...

Yeah, they've always suited you, Verbal, and they're so much more comfortable than the other type.

Contacted Viagogo about the two tickets I paid huge amounts for to get my son and I near the front at the Symphony Hall and this is their response!! "Thank you for contacting us regarding your order 23151967 for Elvis Costello & The Imposters on 18 March 2020. Unfortunately, we are unable t...

Top balcony wrote:Hey Elvis

What do you think of the new ABBA album?

- wait over VG

Well no surprise here !!

Don’t think he played Hammersmith in 1982 so maybe on of the TKO shows from 1983? The BBC recorded one of those (17th October 1983) if I recall correctly for their In Concert Radio One broadcast series!

Me too !!
Blimey, only 300 odd miles between shows, even Brits could manage that in a day !!

Of course, Mike, I'll do a bit of posting on Wednesday !
What shows did you see by the way ?

A table for 12 is booked at 2pm. 8) If you want to come and have not told me then please PM or post on the forum. So far it’s Mr and Mrs Sheep MOOT Neil Sulky John Foyle Ian Sephton Me and a few from Facebook. would love to join, but it is not possible this time. There is always a next time.... Hop...

Port Chester - I wonder if anyone I know might be going
As I’m banned from your country for the time being ( I feel like Lennon with no green card) I hope my dear friends get to as many shows as they can manage !

Elvis looks a bit Bob circa Love And Theft with that moustache - now if he did an album like that …………..
Ps how far is Omaha from NJ, doc?

Don't forget your flash recorders then, all you freebies !!
Hope there's loads of new songs for you all!

Thanks ANCT, interesting range of work !

Ymaginatif wrote:Give us more of this - rather than just Spanish language versions!

Absolutely - love this mashup ! I wonder who made this, ? maybe one of the twins ? Imaginative and cool!

Still seems there might have been a professional recording of the whole show made . I’m increasingly frustrated- what’s the point if keeping these pro shows under wraps ( shows such as second El Mocambo, RAH with the RPO, the second Palamino show from Feb 1979!) They’re unlikely to ever garner more ...

That's really interesting, David. There's never ( to my knowledge) been anything like a transcription LP or disc from this concert available as far as i can recall so these are VERY rare items. Any idea how much they went for ?
Well spotted by the way!

It’s been nine days since this announcement and no more dates in sight. Could this be a one-off? Or a warming up for a recording session? It could turn out to a live recording session es well. Who knows what they have been up to the last few months???? Lots of new songs!!! Who knows? "Or a war...

"....... but I would pay far more to see new songs played live, and that is the reality. ...... So when shows are advertised there is far more interest and excitement, than in an album that may be months or years away." Exactly! Kansas City is a bit far away, but count me in if there are ...

What no dates in Sweden ??!!

The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is scheduled to begin October 8. What is the chance Elvis will play? i think he will stay away from festival appearances throughout the calendar year. if we get his usual small theater venue shows where he is VERY in control of all aspects, perhaps we mi...

To all my friends - really sorry this didn’t work out for you - at least they made a gesture with the discount but not that impressive after all. I checked my very local record store and they should have the “French EP” available next Saturday so I’ll be queuing at 5 am to beat the West Devon rush :...

What’s that phrase that goes “fools and their money “? I knew I should have listened to BA abs saved myself a pile - by this reckoning I could have been into real estate in NY :shock: :) ! Yes.... these things are better off left until AFTER release date for acquisition. okay...it took me 18 months...
