Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Good find erey, but i imagine that is FULL SHOW pricing. At these events i think an hour playing is an extravagant guess. I think most of these types of appearances fall in the thirty to forty five minutes range. I could be all wet however.

What do you think EC pulls in for a gig like that? $100k? MIKE...i think not. I bet he only has to guarantee 45 minutes. And with no band, overhead, roadies, busses, soundman, security, management etc...and all the hors d'oeuvres he can eat!!! a 250 limo to and from the big Apple, i will say 50 get...

Thanks for posting, ice nine. I was reflecting recently that Byrne was probably EC's most direct peer: "new wave" (quote-unquote) star who just kept moving creatively. I'm going to try to check out Byrne's show when it comes to my town, if I can get a decent ticket. Close...but, i give cl...

Yeah, must have been an "IN" joke at the time. I think i am correct. I became quite fluent in his mumbo jumbo jibberish way of speaking in his liquor/etc. addled days.

"THIS GUY OVER HERE THINKS HE'S GONNA STOP US."

Picked up my copy complete with download card. Single has the "large" hole so need an adapter to play the vinyl. Can't say i have an extra to mail you David, though surely there are 50 in the house somewhere!!! Unless i peruse my 7 " collection...there must be a 45 with standard YELL...

wonder if he will lengthen the "A LOVE SUPREME" tidbit ending GIRL'S TALK last month in NY!!

Great bro pics up now at the wiki...thanks ANCT.

The last six at post one of this thread...beginning with A LOVE SUPREME. So sorry we did not get to say HELLO this time, jmm. Best to the Mrs. please

might as well bump this once now that i have updated it. fun to see that it has 7200 views. OCD ba at his finest!

Outlaw music festival appears to be a travelling Lollapalooza type touring thingie on my quick search. Does that mean Imposters come to east coast amphitheaters before going to Europe in June and July??? Never mind...now i see the link in post one. What is a sturgill simpson and does he or she deser...

I don't mind the requests, but sometimes the timing is awful, like the Two Little Hitlers moment. Here's a truly lovely moment, when So Like Candy was requested at Carnegie Hall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD9pjDqaquk#t=5s Yeah, well, NOTHING went wrong that night. A superb top ten show....for...

Again, if we see a video, we might know a bit more certainly. Upon review, it sounds like the same guy who screamed "Two Little Hitlers" about 1 second prior to the start of Almost Blue. Wildly inappropriate and not a plant IMO. Thanks doc. I always trust my instinct. I knew it was split ...

Again, if we see a video, we might know a bit more certainly.

I didn't think that at all. It was a semi slipshod run through of the 98 second song. And the band was just winging it merrily after E started it so quickly after being shouted. Then again, i am THE MOST GULLIBLE GUY EVER!!

From a distance, looking at the set lists etc., it seems that there is nothing much especially new with these shows. Is that true? Seems repetitive to a certain degree. No break-out venturing? Seems still kind-of 'stuck.'? not so jardine. with the volume of long unplayed songs, the eight or so chan...

BABY, ITS YOU

Thanks for your wishes sulky...they helped. A good friend came through for me.

HOW CAN I STAY HOME TOMORROW??? Box office opens at noon...maybe i wll take a ride after church and see if i get lucky. I know they have $80 seats...but i could more easily afford a $55 one.

At the wiki, someone entered YOU WN AGAIN as if it was just a snippet tacked on ending ALISON. yes, it was performed this way very often over the years. However, when he and the ladies walked over to the piano for A FACE IN THE CROWD, E sat down and began the song. To my eyes, Kitten and Briana were...

Stellar again...8 different from last night. A great Van Morrison track i did not know. Love when he fools the band doing his own thing. HE shocked the girls also with YOU WIN AGAIN...fun, fun, fun.

Two words would get it in my notebook...

e.g.

MISSISSIPPI QUEEN or
VIRGINIA PLAIN or
MY SHARONA or
ALL APOLOGIES!!!

The segment flowed nicely into "This Year's Girl," which was the full band acoustic version without backup singers. PRETTY sure TYG was only E and Steve good doc...according to my notes and my memory too. i remember thinking the band would join halfway through...but they never did it. may...

Yeah...the banality of this site BLOWS. should NOT fix what ain't broke...

Yes indeed...and at my setlist.fm posting, someone edited A LOVE SUPREME into GIRL'S TALK. I need to go listen for that and/or await some nunki verification.
