that is such bullsh*t! thanks for everything while it lasted, doc!

Two Little Hitlers or Miracle Man (Attractions Version).

Happy Birthday, Elvis!!

i've always wanted to hear him do Lonely Planet Boy by the New York Dolls. solo or with the imposters would be welcome.

Just found this link sampling all the tracks on the soundtrack:

Sounds like Doll Revolution is the same old version we've heard plenty of times before.

ba,

i'm not a member of any of the other fan forums, but i sent you a facebook friend request. if anyone wants to add me, my facebook url is: www.facebook.com/trevorjb

cheers!

doc, agreed! i was lucky enough to be there and even luckier to spin the wheel! my friend and I were the ones who spun hoover/detectives and king's ransom. we gave him one of my friend's band's record which he plugged nicely. i was really bummed when no recording surfaced shortly after, but was plea...

anybody have an extra ticket for tonight? turns out i'd be able to go after all and i never bought a ticket! gah! any help would be appreciated. just need one, preferably decent, seat. thanks!

doc, i was watching these as you were posting them last night. great performance! amazing version of american gangster time. my first costello show was a couple of days after this gig at the nokia theater in times square. needless to say, i've seen him 12 times since and it just keeps getting better...

holy shit! it exists! is it the same as what we thought three years ago? the iTunes outtakes? or something completely different? ugh. now i might have to hit up all the record stores in new york and see if there are any copies of "the first ten years" hangin' around.

i'm reeeeeeaaaallllyyyy hopin' a rochester tape pops up! gah!!

jeez! can't believe i forgot to mention that killer medley! also a huge highlight! the medley was AT LEAST 8 minutes long. he played most of (if not all of) River In Reverse and since i'm not too familiar with On Your Way Down and I'll Take Care Of You, i can't say for sure if he played them in thei...

my fourth revolver tour show and i finally got to spin the wheel! my buddy and i got to go up together and were treated to a double-spin. it was amazing, to say the least. first spin we landed on hoover vs. detectives. we begged for both to which he obliged. second spin was king's ransom, an absolut...

Elvis just submitted this via the official site: http://www.elviscostello.com/news/napoleon-remembers/145 "My many years in showbusiness have taught me that the audience is actually a group of individuals who - though deserving of respect and any even affection – may be transformed into an angr...

heard moods for moderns on 5/22.

i happen to agree with both of you. wouldn't compare 'em to GD, but i definitely noticed some great jams during that show. i was half expecting them to go do Lipstick Vogue, since (especially in the early days) they could go on some serious tangents during that number. i also noticed how Turpentine ...

i'm pretty sure the "oops, wrong start" was a Red Shoes false start. could be wrong. we'll have to check audience recordings.

either way, best costello/imposters show i've ever seen! hope the beacon shows live up to the expectations they set for us tonight. i, personally, have no doubts.

such a nice surprise! i love being a Costello fan living in NYC. i'm interested in what the whole "Where else might they turn up??" remark on the ec website.

I've been fortunate enough to meet Mr. Costello a few times now. The first time (after a sugarcanes show at the Beacon here in NYC) I was so starstruck I think I just told him how much of a hero he was to me. He was kind in return, signed a few things and went on his way. The second time (this past ...

buy Sport's album, SPORTS, on iTunes:

even Elvis has their album. of course, i just gave it to him. he didn't buy it.

Just happened to catch the end of Stepbrothers (starring John C. Reilly and Will Farrell) and noticed the the "late 80s Billy Joel cover band", Uptown Girl, that plays the infamous Catalina Wine Mixer scene has two Imposters in the band. I had to rewind a few times, but it is indeed Davey ...

cwr, i was around bleecker street today and, as i tend to do when i'm in that part of town, i stopped into bleecker street records. i agree that the help there (if you can really call it that) can be quite unhelpful. luckily, i was able to find a copy of the national ransack ep right in the 45 bin u...

yes!! pre-sale codes anyone???

BTW, I recorded the performance on my iPhone (audio only) and was wondering if anyone would like the MP3 so they can make it available for everyone else. However, there's two things wrong with it: 1, most of Red Shoes is missing. 2, some of the interview is missing (due to a bathroom break... i blam...
