Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I’d happily pay through the nose (and have) to see EC live, but I absolutely refuse to buy a ticket that doesn’t have a dedicated seat assignment. I would have bought a top ticket for the Wolf trap this morning but all that gets me is entry into a lottery system. I could get a great center orchestr...

Open letters are cool. I guess… but artists need to get their shit together and start creating their own tools to combat AI technology. Is there anyone in the music industry looking at ways to combat AI? I don’t know? Something tells me, no? Not to get all radical here… but artists need to take tech...

Mojo, I called that number but it went straight into some individual's voicemail. On a lark, I then went back to the Mountain Winery website [url]https://www.mountainwinery.com/concert-series/ and tried again. Got right through and now the emailed EC24TOUR passcode works. As you said . . . the prem...

Thanks, Mojo. It's very confusing. If you go to the elviscostello.com website, there is now a link active that takes you to a page that offers you seats in Section 1 (dead center, nearest stage) or Sections 3 or 4 (above section 1). And makes it look like you can buy directly from the Elvis site wi...

Okay. The Mt Wine gal called me back. She gave me a code that “she said” was only unique for me (bs) and also said not to share the code with anyone. I need to honor her request. So my recommendation, call this number - 408-913-1722. Press 0 for switchboard ops. If no one picks up, call again… and a...

I just called the mt winery and told them the website isn’t recognizing the artist code and is probably only accepting their loyalty club code (if anyone has that code - please share. Loyalty club qualifiers are attending 4 shows last year. Was not me. Only saw Squeeze there last year.) I forwarded ...

Tempting! If I didn’t have to work and didn’t have tickets for the Ramblin Jack Elliott Tribute show, I would seriously consider it. A chance to be a bit footloose and fancy free.
Jump on a plane, work remote, etc… hmm. Maybe another tour.

Snippet of J Geils with Doll Revolution? That would be a fun cover for the band. Wish I could see a show on this tour. Looks like loads of fun… although the winter weather, I could do without. Enjoy to all fans heading to the remaining shows

Elvis sings 80s Joel. Never thought it would happen. Hot. What a great surprise to everyone at the concert. Wish I was there. Happy holidays

Thanks for the set list post. Looks like it was amazing. Anyone go to the puppet museum while in town for this show? Double down on some quality art vibes? Or not. Whatever. Peace out ya’ll

To the best drummer in every town (whenever he travels). HBD,PT

I wish. The east coast set lists are killing me. It’s like a completely different tour from the west coast.

Love that the reviewer gently complains that neither Nick nor Elvis played Peace Love & Understanding . . . but she left to avoid parking lot traffic before EC played it (according to the setlist anyway). I caught EC at the Greek in LA and noticed that same phenomenon of folks leaving early to ...

Mojo I’m far from an expert on the Bible but even I get the reference to Pilate. Washing hands of Jesus and giving silver to Judas. Surely the quoted “ why was I chosen” rings a bell for most anyone. But I suppose Elvis writing the same old song about a woman marrying for money makes sense? Not rea...

?

Oh and my groupie comment is more along the lines of dead head following the dead. That is all!! Peace

Yes, thank you and amen to god damn good music (EC/band is near the bible/rust belt right now… seems appropriate to say this… or not, you decide). Peace/Love happy solstice.

I agree with both Verbal and Psc - prefer more short songs. Let’s keep the punk spirit going- extended solos with musicianship for its own sake is not my cup of tea. Part of the reason I loved Elvis in the first place were the succinct punchy tunes. Disagree. I loved the show in SF. I think EC/Imps...

Ventura - I imagine it’s like a Yacht Rock hot spot… lots of Hawaiian shirts, lots of brain cells fried from extended beach life. Probably like lizards sitting in their seats, honestly. Not much movement going down.

So many complainers about this event. What are you going to do, sue? Ya’ll read between the lines of the agenda / schedule. Also, good for EC selling more than Rufus. That makes complete sense. I love Rufus, but It’s EC - hello? What more could you possibly want from this event? A personal card game...

Best show ever. Amazing show. Don’t miss this tour!

I say this with a heavy heart as a 1977 vintage fan, but his voice is shot, and it’s hard to ignore it. I’ve tried to for a number of years/gigs, but it’s unavoidable now. Someone who he listens to has to step in now and say we’ve got to find another way to make a living/make this work. As I say, t...

Raised numbers is a good thing. EC is in demand. Dang. Plus, more folks to mix and mingle with… always a good time there. Or not. Not a "good thing" when we were led to believe it would be more intimate. The issue was more of what was promised vs. delivered for the somewhat hefty price. T...
