Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Love that the reviewer gently complains that neither Nick nor Elvis played Peace Love & Understanding . . . but she left to avoid parking lot traffic before EC played it (according to the setlist anyway). I caught EC at the Greek in LA and noticed that same phenomenon of folks leaving early to ...

No Action!!! Jealous af!

“questionable song choices” That’s a hoot!

I agree with both Verbal and Psc - prefer more short songs. Let’s keep the punk spirit going- extended solos with musicianship for its own sake is not my cup of tea. Part of the reason I loved Elvis in the first place were the succinct punchy tunes. Disagree. I loved the show in SF. I think EC/Imps...

John comes through! He’s the real rock star here!

“We're All Going On A Fucking Holiday"

As someone who was at the show last night (my 14th EC show of the year), his voice was absolutely fine. Observations are one thing, but these incessant critiques are just boring.

Tonight!

ME! Plus, one!

Moi

Great job Simon!

Thanks! I got my email from the EC website early this morning. They are on top of it!

Thank you, thank you, to those who posted the early access codes. Was able to get tickets in both SF and LA. It sure would be great if whoever runs the website for EC could get that mailing list working. I am registered for my personal address and do occasionally get promotional emails . . . but I ...

October 23rd, 2002 at the Beacon. I’m up to 61 shows now!

After only two shows for me at Gramercy, I figured I better tackle my archives before my third and last one tonight. My guardian angels had me pick the first two I attended correctly it seems as I added eight on both nights!! I'll take that again this evening. Or none is fine too. At 765 for me now...

It was great meeting you Charles, Michael, Susan and everyone else I sat next to or near at the Gramercy. I’m not quite as committed as you guys, but it was wonderful being there for that exceptional run. So extraordinary to be reminded of his whole career - absolutely no one like him in terms of r...

Jeff and Stacey!!

Yup!

Yes! And Ron, Susan G, Craig, Dave, CharlesD, and the sweet couple from Washington State. Plus, meeting Laura Cantrell on Night 2 was a serious highlight for me. She was super sweet and let me ramble for like 10 minutes.

It was nice meeting you too Mike. Now I can put a face to “Newspaper Pane”.

Considering that these shows are now behind us, I just wanted to send a big shout out to all of the lucky maniacs who were able to attend all of these. As one of those people I can honestly say that I had a truly amazing time and all the shows exceeded my expectations. Not only was I able to experie...
