Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Terror And Magnificence remains my favourite EC diversion by some distance, and the album is magnificent (though not terrifying) especially Sarah Leonard's contributions. Saw it live twice in 1966, in Nottingham and Birmingham. 1966? :) Sorry dyslexic typing fingers - duly amended ! I know I had an...

It's a great idea CWR but I don't know what the demand would be. Based on figures from the 40 years ago project of live recordings seen on a certain torrent site, the demand for high quality (Soundboard or equivalent) concerts never exceeds about 300 seeders. Would exclusive live shows, such as the ...

Double wow - the Imposters and then some !

Only a short tour with The Specials followed by a massive U,K, tour with just Steve playing A Face In The Crowd songs and some new Bacharach songs for the musical that hasn't hit the stage yet !

I’ve got some bad news guys, although some will maybe see it as good news! :wink: I can’t now make the meet up. :( I was gonna come along after watching the mighty Hammers in their FA Cup match, therefore joining you all for the “evening session”, but I’ve now been summoned to a works event that ev...

Called a Josephine microphone but not such a slow drag for $350 (geddit !!!)

As a UK resident I may be wrong but isn't this the programme with some of the artwork seen projected behind the band during the Imperial Bedroom And Other Chambers Tour ?

Hopefully Steve played more than 5 songs !

Is it too much to hope that this will be a DVD release of the Almost Blue Albert Hall RPO concert? I've only ever seen one clip. Oh great shout, Neil. Rumours circulated that Jake couldn't find anyone to release it at the time and that there was a fight with the Musicians Union over payment to the ...

This could be it! And if it is Imperial Bedroom, there are a lot of interesting live versions of the songs played over the years. They will need someone with a vast store of live recordings and the time and enthusiasm to wade through them all---- I wonder where they'll find anyone like this :shock:...

Oh this particular methodology must be taking the master tapes and just overdubbing Bruce's bass with Davey's - never been done before

Looking to 2020, Elvis Costello and The Imposters will take their “Just Trust” tour to the U.K., opening in Liverpool on February 28th, returning to Sunderland after a period of 40 years and performing at the Hammersmith Apollo for the first time since playing a six-night stand with The Rude 5 in 1...

I’d give my high teeth to hear that - though allegedly Get Happy! was not one of Steve’s favourite albums

Good job Steve has never been a Gooner or a Hammers fan then !

Great stuff, KRM , really interesting how much people from different artistic disciplines fully appreciate some of what we consider Elvis' sidesteps

Davey Faragher turned the bass into a backing instrument. Rarely noticeable, never exciting. And that's how Elvis prefers it. That, to me, is very unfortunate ... :D Great insight here Ymaginatif. Davey brings so much especially with his vocal interpretations that I fully understand Elvis' admirati...

The remarkable, 42-year career of Elvis Costello has basically been split between two bands, the Attractions and the Imposters, with the latter uniformly regarded as the more versatile quartet.

Think I might take issue with this considering the range of albums and genres from 1978 to 1986 !

Just a bit galling to find this amount of discount being offered !

"Fly Me To The Moon" if memory serves me right

It reminded the faithful that no matter the musical style, no matter the issues with Costello’s band or voice, his aim is true.

Must be real hard work being a reviewer

Kitten you and Briana deserve all the accolades in the world for what you’ve brought to our beloved EC and The Imposters !

Is this the first Imposters version of Sulphur To Sugarcane ?
