Elvis Costello Fan Forum

From similar experiences, I expect you could “suggest” songs for the set list but not “dictate”. The suggestions would like be incorporated if judged to be within reason I agree it’s an expensive jukebox but think of the possibilities!!!! I would only pony up the 50 g's if I could DICTATE!! :lol: :...

What do you think EC pulls in for a gig like that? $100k? MIKE...i think not. I bet he only has to guarantee 45 minutes. And with no band, overhead, roadies, busses, soundman, security, management etc...and all the hors d'oeuvres he can eat!!! a 250 limo to and from the big Apple, i will say 50 get...

Anyone here who went to all four? Any thought on which was the best? I only went to two, but I'd be surprised if 3/9 didn't emerge as the highest-rated.... I went to all 4. I would say 3/7 and 3/9 were virtually a tie, with the slight edge to 3/7 only because it was fresh and the more energetic sta...

Welcome To The Working Week was a shouted audience request. Yes, not by me, and it would be a shame if that took the place of Party Girl! :? I'm pretty sure this was semi-setup. Like, the requester probably put his request in before the show or something. The guy was a few seats over from me. He sh...

Very happy I got to finally hear You Belong to Me, another not uncommon song that I had managed to miss for 40+ concerts!

Great show, far surpassing the previous night, IMO.

And having sat Orchestra Right last night, I can say I officially have a crush on Briana Lee!

Generally agree with Doc's take, although I thought the overall performance in Brooklyn was much better. A little disappointed that the set list was largely the same as the night before. However, Poor Fractured Atlas was worth the price of admission alone. It is possible my perception was affected b...

Elvis Costello + Brooklyn = brilliant Really great show, with EC in fine voice and spirits. Good crowd too, which he seemed to appreciate. 4 new ones for me: (1) This is Hell, (2) Motel Matches (finally after 30+ shows!!), (3) Talking in the Dark, and (4) You Shouldn't Look at Me That Way. Only nega...

I am!

I plan to be there. Hoping there is no cancellation, although it might be dicey getting home after the show.

I'm going! Scored a front row seat.

Edit: My front row seat is for Sunday night.

Great News! And I'm glad T-Bone is involved.

Got tickets for all 4 shows lol. I'm sick.

Hopefully the owner of the Capitol Theater doesn't sexually harass anyone between now and March 11th!!

Cancelled my Vegas trip! See you in NEW YORK!!!

Had tickets, hotel and airfare already booked.

Me too. Fuck my life. The Wynn comped me one ticket and I was going to buy two more shows on StubHub. At least I didn't pay for any tickets.

I am beyond disappointed, was looking forward to it so much. Why Elvis, WHY??????

Luxembourg was surprisingly and delightfully played at the April 1st show at Gramercy Theater in NYC a few years ago.

Can someone who was there please give us a review. It's one of your forum duties! A brief but fun concert preceded by the usual boring LKR fundraising activities - kids playing rock music covers, speeches, a dinner break (for those at the tables, for the rest of us FF members in the cheap seats a c...

It was for a good cause, but that was painful. Although Forbidden Nights probably made it worthwhile.

Also, don't forget "Somewhere" (There's a Place For Us) at the end of the Alison medley!

Good to to see my friends from the board!

I am so there! I love Vegas and the Wynn/Encore in particular, and now with EC to boot! See ya in Vegas Elvis.
