Elvis Costello Fan Forum

The sound in Wallingford was pristine. No complaints from me. (or other people I asked who went to the same show)

Clubland included the Insensatez snippet, Shabby Doll began with the first line of Happiness Is A Warm Gun, and Pump It Up quoted Subterranean Homesick Blues.

14 out of 15 IB tracks. Little Savage at the piano with the ladies helping out. Incredible.

I have no desire to hear Imperial Bedroom the song. As long as I know I'm getting much of the album, I'll just have to dream of the album in order.

I am. Made the mistake at looking at the grid so far, and saw a few songs that haven't been played every night.

That's a wonderful sidebar to an excellent article. Thanks!

I'll put in an early vote for "Sunday's Best". Why? The lyrics are a list, cobbled together quickly. The keyboards don't sound like any carousel I'd like to ride. And the drums sound like I could be playing them.

He lived a full life and made millions of people happy.

Finally got around to finishing my review of the album, and the book, and the audiobook:

Have at it.

I don't suppose anyone has come across an electronic copy of this...?

I've been saying for years -- or at least two record labels ago -- that he should sell his music directly to his fans. Pete Townshend did, Robert Fripp still does. But I think he still harbors some resentment for those of us who'll buy anything and everything.

Excellent! Thanks for the info!

I'd be interested in seeing an index, so I'll offer to help type. Also, how about captions for some of the photos? There's a shot in the book (not in front of me at the moment) of EC onstage next to a keyboard player who's definitely not Steve, Larry, Benmont, or anyone else I recognize.

Great clip. Observations: 1. Nice how they're both playing guitars furiously without being plugged into anything. And Elvis is gamely "playing" the opening lead on his acoustic. 2. I love how Glenn pops into the frame for his first vocal. Cocaine's a hell of a drug. 3. Hopefully that's as ...

Considering that I've never seen physical evidence of the Pomp & Pout set anywhere, maybe -- just maybe -- I'll spring for this. If it's under $20. And I have the cash.

Jaw-dropping? More so than EC was afraid to fly in an airplane? Now I want to read this.

Indeed. Maybe this is a sign!

I've read a few of these from this series (Zappa, Tom Waits, Van Morrison, etc.) They tend to be written from a fan's point of view, with a little more insight into music composition. As such, they're also more opinionated, and don't always have the facts us diehards might have at our grasp. Hopeful...

I didn't expect to like this album. Read my review and find out if I did!

I'd love a copy of the Port Chester 11-11-13, just so I can hear my inappropriately timed "YEAH!" in the middle of "Ghost Train".

Sorry about that -- life got in the way. (I hate when that happens...) I shall make it a priority to give you some feedback this week.

I may have to give up the ghost on this one. Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft One Drive etc will not allow me to save Hyperlinks... I may have a copywright issue with putting this stuff onto a blog and the problem with transferring to the Wiki is that it's too unwieldy as it includes photos and oth...

I still have my stack, stored in a box. It was a fantastic resource, particularly in the pre-Internet days. It also reminded me that I was nowhere near as fanatical about EC as I could have been. After over a decade (wow) I still hold out hope that Dave Farr will resume and finish his A to Z series....

Every year I hope Apple will release them, and I'm still waiting. Here's another link with files and extras.

And in case you're wondering, that is indeed me yelling "Yeah!" after the "drummer who threw up in the sink" line in "Ghost Train".
