Re: Costello & Nieve: 15 songs from 50 years, Leeds (UK), Sept 2 & 3, 2024
I have seen him play Substitute and as a snippet Can't Explain, but The Oo recorded these before ICSFM, so I stand corrected, but perhaps he would still see the joke?

As a 16 year-old living in Liverpool I bought this in May 1970.Teresa the Waitress wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 11:56 am "Live at Leeds" was the title of an album by The Who, so no to that one!
As a 16 year-old living in Liverpool I'm sure EC did too.
He loved The Who.
He would, I'm sure, appreciate the joke!

Re: What's your best ever EC gig?
... the guitar tech had to work from the floor below the stage, because he couldn't squeeze on or off the stage itself. Will we ever see the like again? I was right next to the guitar tech, he told me it was the first time he had undertaken this role for Elvis. He certainly earned his fee that nigh...

All hail to the Archivist, Elvis' own unpaid Glynn Johnns. In England at aged 65 you used to be able to draw your 'old age pension' but times have changed. This may no longer be the last year of your youth but it's a great excuse to hear EC croon on about his :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jvd_mej...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, Arizona Financial Theatre, Phoenix, AZ, June 18, 2023
I get the impression that the live music experience is becoming more for the casual fans who can afford it as a night out, rather than the dedicated, more passionate fans. Think this explains, to some extent, the apparent increase in disruptive audience behaviour too. Certain that the 'casual fan' ...
