Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Thanks. Sounds like a great one.

Bruce is a little jumpy, no?

It's cool to see them at such a young age, and EC levitating at the end is fun, but I have trouble getting past the lip syncing.

One can only hope that EC has a chance to see this.

Loved the guys filling in behind the whistling on Josephine. Colin Top Balcony I noticed that too. Very quirky little fiddle and accordion fill-ins there. The more I listen, the more I appreciate the high level of musicianship in the 'Canes which often goes unnoticed or at least unappreciated. Coup...

Auto interview : Elvis Costello (Elvis interviews himself - hilarious!) 25/02/1989 - 03min37s Extremely hilarious! :lol: And his answers seem amazingly spontaneous, somehow. That's got to be the best "interview" and the best "acting" he's ever done. brilliant!!! first time I see...

It works! I was able to download the full episodes of both Chorus shows for just 3 euros each! Fantastic!

What format?

SoundTaxi is what I use:

You can download a free trial. I bought the fancy Media Suite version, but if all you need is audio conversion, then you can buy the cheapest version ($19).

Thanks for posting this, John! My high school French is rusty but it appears one may be able to download the clips for 3 Euros each. I am going to give it a go and will let you know if it works. Dave Dave - I used StreamTransport w/out a problem and put it on my YouTube account. http://www.youtube....

I'll put it on YouTube. It might work for you.

Agree. To my ears at least the album version sounds muddy. Here you can here all the little subtleties and I like it a lot more.

The studio version sounds awful. A rare fail by T Bone.

Another amazing performance of the much maligned title song. It's so much better live!

When do we see the entire show? "Spring 2011"?

There are several close-ups of our favorite fiddler during this really nice tribute to the author of that famous precursor to National Ransom....Working Man Blues.

I don't know about definitive, but I'm partial to this live solo version from April 14, 1984.

Maybe because I recorded it from the third row, who knows?

Overall, I really enjoy listening to NR. I kind of agree that the title song is only so-so at best. Something about the production makes it sound half-dead. On the other hand, this version on Letterman is so spirited, I love it. The band is in perfect sync. Just watch EC after they're done as Letter...

A little Far East double Zoom action?

Not!

Okay who's going?

Toussaint AND the Dap Kings?! Holy hell, that sounds like my kind of show. It was outstanding. Sharon Jones was UNBELIEVABLE. Now on Dime: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=338340 And here's a very cool link to a Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings webcast from this fall in France: htt...

How is it that "National Ransom" [an album that sonically and verbally rewards a listener] gets so little notice and continues to be ignored by so many? Has he so totally fallen off the cultural grid? Is he really no longer a part of the conversation of literate, adventurous pop music? I ...

Twice he gave Elvis credit for taking him out of New Orleans and giving his career a nice boost.

He was a true gentleman.

Now on Dime:

Saw a great show last night. AT was the opening act for Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings. I'm posting both as torrents on Dime, but in the meantime wanted the EC fans to hear a nice version of Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further? He gives props to Elvis at the beginning: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Sometimes hearing a live version of a new song completely changes my feelings about it. I really didn't think much of Stations Of The Cross Until hearing EC's version with The Roots and John McLaughlin on Jimmy Fallon's show. It was a phenomenal performance and I love the song now, even though the a...

Anyone know what happened? I was really looking forward to another Presidential performance by EC.

The show was just okay. I'm putting it on Dime if anyone's interested.
