Elvis Costello Fan Forum

With such an exhaustive list I didn't think I'd be able to contribute, but here's #200 (and 201 & 202) and I start with a what I thought was a surprising omission - Steve Earle - Landmine free world concert London 17-01-02 The Big Heat - produced Watch me Catch Fire single Royal Liverpool Philha...

Bristol date was "pencilled in" the St Georges diary in April 2008, so there's been some long(ish)-term planning here.

Can't see it written above in plain speak for us UK Viewers, so (as far as I understand it) the first first show will be broadcast at 00:05 on Tuesday 16th December. Channel 4 listings go from 0600 to 0400 the following day, hence the impression that it will be broadcast on the 15th. Just so we set ...

Tickets for Bristol go on general sale on Monday 8th December.

Will need more than this to convince this Scotsman to part with hard-earned dosh. I'm as big a Who fan as EC fan and it took the exclusive double live Cd to make me join, then they threw in a tshirt as well - great stuff and well worth the $50.00. Depends what they offer come renewal time if I resub...

Just had an update. The tix will not be on general sale until mid/late October as it's part of their Spring Season 2009, unless you're a "Friend" when it opens on 25 September. Tix will be £35, £22, £12 (but very restricted view). The Glasgow date is part of a Brodsky Quartet Season and St...

Still waiting on my "official" email from them - so much for the "advance notice"! I've already booked Glasgow (my home town) as well as it coincides with a Thistle home match. Hope this birds still singing after the footie!

Wednesday 29th April 2009. St Georges Bristol. PLEASE PLEASE do not phone the venue for tix details as this date has not been published yet and my source will be in trouble. Details should be published in the next week or so and I will get advance notice as I voluntary steward there and am a "F...

Well, I enjoyed it! These shows are there to be enjoyed just for the uniqueness of the occassion. Ok, the Secret Songs bit wasn't great in the big Costello scheme of things, but it wasn't bad either. (It's hardly self indulgent if someone asks you to do it though IMO). Well worth the trip up from Wi...

I'll be arriving in Liverpool around lunchtime and doing a bit of sightseeing as, apart from a match at Goodison, I've never been to Liverpool. Is there somewhere folks are meeting up beforehand? If you see a lonely 50-something in a Who hoodie, that'll be me! Cheers, Jim. PS Won't be able to access...

I'll wait to buy the 2cd and DVD limited tour edition only available at the Liverpool show version.

According to Amazon UK, this release has now been put back to April 7.

This is sheer speculation on my part..... I steward (voluntary) at St Georges Bristol, where EC played with the Brodskys back in Nov 95 - it was not a Juliet Letters Concert as such, although they did play it all, but not in the straight album order and intersperced with other EC songs and Lost in t...

I enjoyed the show, but was surprised when I was told about the 8.45pm start, given that the info with the ticket said it would be over by 10.20. Cheapest seats, but still the most I have ever paid for an EC ticket, and one of the shortest shows....yes I could moan a bit about that, but it was the o...

Amazon uk has a release date of 2nd July for these now.

Still waiting to get them - ordered 26 March from Seetickets. They sent a "delayed" notice on 16 April, but that's a month ago now. Anyone else still waiting? When I'm paying hefty charges I expect a decent service.

I remember buying Dexter Gordon LPs dirt cheap from a stall in in DeCourcy's market in Byres Road in Glasgow in the mid-80s. The guy moved to a shop in Byres Road - can't remember what the original name was, but it was rebranded as FOPP. It was always good for a bargain and IMHO it's great that it's...

Surprised but delighted to see this trade section. Two points though - 1. What's the normal wait time before I get membership of that torrent site? Or is there another way in? 2. I have the following shows on cassettes of variable sound quality (audience recordings). If anyone has the time/inclinati...
