Re: Elvis when you least expect it

While watching the first 2 episodes of "The Old Man" (Jeff Bridges drama series on Hulu) we heard "Sleep of the Just".
I had to pause it & acknowledge the song with the wife.

Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Charlie Sexton at Majestic Theatre, Dallas, TX, January 19, 2024

Loved the show. EC was in pretty good voice & very talkative. From his newer stuff, I liked "Hetty O’Hara Confidential". From his older traditional stuff, I enjoyed the unique acoustic guitar version of "Beyond Belief" https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ABLVV84mzDuFDjuJxjrf...

Re: Tasmin Archer covers Elvis Costello

I had never heard this before today....wow.
That version of "All Grown Up" is outstanding. I like the other covers too. Even her song is very good.

He played there back in 2010 as part of a "wind energy" event....it was weird. You could tell most of the attendees weren't familiar with EC, but they definitely left with an appreciation of his talent. It was a good show. http://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php/Concert_2010-05-24_Dal...

Re: Essential bootlegs/ Getting started with boots/ General advice

This one is my favorite, and a great representation of the Costello/Nieve tours. I think it was a Canadian radio broadcast so the sound is fantastic. http://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php/Bootleg:_On_The_Road_Again The set list looks great. Is that bootleg available somewhere for download? S...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters , Thackerville, OK, WinStar World Casino,   Nov. 23 2018

I agree with Richard on the venue....just a large ballroom with rows of chairs. It seemed like half the casino guests were smokers. At 1 1/2 hrs and only 1 encore, it's probably the shortest EC shows I've seen. Looked like Winstar only sold about 50-60% of the seats. I looked on their web site the d...

Fantastic show! EC was in good voice & spirits. He played for a bit over 2 1/2 hours after a short warmup from Larkin Poe. My cell phone pics look very much like a poor/blurry version of many of these others...so I'll spare everyone. I think every show I've seen, EC plays "Every Day I Write...

Re: Probably alone on this one, but...

I too have always loved that song. ATUB was my first purchase long ago of the Rhino releases with the bonus CD. I always thought that it should have made the album. EC agreed in the liner notes.
