Re: Elvis/El Mocambo - 30 years ago , March 6 '78

OK checked the album and there was only 1 EC set, the pictures on the back taken from newspaper clippings show him in the dark suit, like the first picture above. He's clearly wearing a different outfit in the second picture, did he change before the Nick Lowe set or is the second pic from somewhere...

Re: I'm 12 years old and OBSESSED with Elvis Costello.

12 years old is a great age to get obsessed.

I was 12 when The Beatles invaded America.

Re: Getting stuff signed after show

Elvis is left-handed and ball point pens just do not work for him if the signing surface is being held up etc. , as happened to me after , I think, the second Metrople Orchestra show in Amsterdam. Really? I had no idea. Is it normal fo...
