Re: Elvis's last great album

North is definitely his strongest collection in recent years, IMO, once you trim away the bonus tracks. The new tracks on the Dublin bootleg were the most Rock tracks, so that bodes well for the new album being a stronger effort than 'Profane.

Re: 'Hell has frozen over' - Elvis plays Dublin, July 1 '10

...and a fine recording it is, sir, many thanks. Good show, great audience. Spoke to one person at the weekend who just loved it.

Fourth row table seats still available when I last checked, obviously Elvis' long absence has done him no favours. Nice mention in this mornings Irish Times, http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/the ... 60160.html , may help things.

Wont be going either since I'm not that interested in his Sugarcanes stuff & I'm saving my energy for Mountain Mans gig @ Crawaddy the night after. Good to see him coming back.

Sad: John Ciambotti died. Played bass in Clover, known most for being Huey Lewis's old band, as well as a great band of its own.

Re: RIP T-Bone Wolk

Wasn't fortunate enough to see him as a Confederate, I did see him accompanying Shawn Colvin at Dublins Whelans in 1993. While mainly playing bass he also played a mean accordion that night, and nearly stole the show.
