Re: What's your best ever EC gig?

Good thread question, but a hard one to answer. I haven't been to as many EC shows as many of our illustrious brethren here, but while I might be operating strictly from recency theory, I probably would pick Night #3 at the Gramercy Theater. His interaction with Steven Colbert's bassist that night w...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, Steelhouse, Omaha, NE, June 21, 2023

Decided to go to the show at the last minute, after all. I just bought tickets a few minutes ago for tomorrow night's show at the Steelhouse!!! My wife and I are going to drive from Denver to Omaha in the morning. It looks like a bunch of tickets in the front 4-5 rows just opened up. I think these w...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, Steelhouse, Omaha, NE, June 21, 2023

I’m thinking about it, but hotel prices look outrageous for Omaha, Nebraska. Turns out this show is happening the same week as the College Baseball World Series, which is why room prices are so high. I might drive up, but it will be an impromptu trip, if I do it!

Re: Elvis to be thanked for equity and fairness in ticket distribution

Agreed! The fans here and on the Costello-i Facebook page have also got to be commended. I only had tickets to Night #2, as I booked just the first weekend in NYC, but then was able to get a single ticket for Night #3 from "supplydavid" at face value. Very greatful for true fans looking ou...

Re: ELVIS solo GRAMERCY NYC February 10, 2023

I'll be there. Taking my 25 year old son, who has never seen Elvis in concert before (and is not neccesarily very familiar with him, other than hearing me playing Elvis in the car).

I'm very excited about it. Wish I was going to the opening night too, but shouldn't be greedy :D .

Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Charlie Sexton, Denver, CO, Levitt Pavilion, August 23, 2022

Looking forward to it, especially seeing some duets from Elvis & Nick. Hope EC’s voice is holding up. I’ve seen some negative posts on Facebook recently about the recent Wolf Trap concert. However, I saw the show earlier this year in Tulsa and Elvis was in fine form and the band was great. So, I...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Tulsa (OK), May 7, 2022 (Bob Dylan Center Event)

Made a last minute decision to fly in from Colorado and go to the show (due to the miracle of an expiring airline travel voucher buring a hole in my pocket). I'm expecting a unique experience, given the somewhat historic nature of the venue. My only regret is that the Bob Dylan Center--a new museum ...

Watching the livestream. I don't know if it's me, but I think Elvis' guitar is plugged in and it's WAY TOO HOT. Hard to listen to, frankly. Lyle's performances are nice. The conversation is good, though.

Re: Steve Nieve - The Immobile Tour BackStage

Great show. It unexpectedly popped up on my Facebook feed and I watched it, of course. I haven’t had a chance to subscribe to The Immobile Tour Backstage, so I was pleasantly surprised.

BTW, “Hey Clockface” really works well as an instrumental.

Thanks. How was Elvis’ voice? It’ll be interesting to hear how “I do like to be beside the seaside” was inserted into Clubland! He just sang the first line BEFORE the song in Asbury.

Hope so. Is the real translation for "short term throat infection" really "poor ticket sales"? Frankly, when I originally looked at the fall tour schedule, I found it curious that a number of shows were scheduled for 2 nights (or 3 nights) in a row. Given EC's health issues earli...
