Re: It's official! tour with Daryl Hall summer 24

There was an online rumour that EC and Steve were playing at Glastonbury this year. Its from 26-30 June so those US dates might still allow for that...

Re: What's your best ever EC gig?

First three nights at at The Royalty Theatre London, November 1986. My first time seeing him outside Northern Ireland, and first ‘run’ of shows. Small venue, previously used as a TV theatre for This is Your Life. First night, as immortalised on the This is Tomorrow boot of the BBC recording, a solid...

Re: Elvis & Steve, Philharmonie, Luxembourg, September 22, 2023

My personal view. This was a good show. First time I’d seen EC since Dublin 2018 when he was still recovering from illness and was struggling. Last night, in the beautiful modern Philharmonie concert hall, he was in fine spirits. The core set list from this tour was present and the additions were ve...

I’m going. Meeting up with an old pal who relocated to Luxembourg 30 years ago. My first time seeing EC outside the UK/Ireland.

Re: The Songs of Bacharach & Costello: 4 album set based on Painted From Memory, March 3, 2023

Too rich for my blood. Took me about 20 minutes to make my own compilation version of discs 3 and 4 (save the two unreleased Tokyo live tracks) from official releases and recorded broadcasts. I replaced the Tokyo tracks with versions from other broadcasts of that era, added live takes of the missing...

Re: Look-Hear-Listen-Now, Edinburgh, May 28, 2022

I was at an EC & The As show in Dublin in 1996 that coincided with the England v Germany Euro 96 final, they came on quite late as clearly had been watching the game beforehand, just as it went into extra time. Stagehands shouted out the penalty shoot off outcomes. Remember EC being somewhat pee...

Re: Uncut - Elvis Costello Deluxe Ultimate Music Guide

Got this today. A lot of it is a reprint of the 2014 version, which got as far as Wise up ghost, so the new material covers the albums since then. It’s printed on very high quality, thick paper. £10.99.

Re: Concert 1999-05-01 Stockholm

Maybe the confusion is from the two separate shows, 1st of May and 5th January - as it depends on the dating system? Anyway, is the May show I am looking and someone is hopefully providing.

It is on the wiki as 6th song played, and on the artwork for the recording - someone has furnished me with a copy so will get a listen later!

Concert 1999-05-01 Stockholm

According to the Wiki this was broadcast on Swedish radio, has it ever appeared? Particularly looking for a live recording of The Sweetest Punch to complete a set.

Re: The Boy Named If, new album by Elvis & The Imposters, January 14, 2022

Mine hasn’t arrived so just one listen through so far via Spotify. I keep expectations low (that way you can’t be disappointed) and was wary of some of the pre-release marketing as it echoed that for Blood and Chocolate (“Costello sings again}!), Brutal Youth (“The Attractions are back!” Even though...

I hope there’s more, would seem quite an extravagance for the BBC to get the band together in Memphis for just two tracks
