Elvis Costello Fan Forum

On September 17, 2013, the day after the Brooklyn Bowl show, EC was a guest on Jimmy Fallon. However, Orlando Bloom was also a guest. He was promoting "Romeo and Juliet." When he walked on, the Roots played "Romeo's Seance" from the "Juliet Letters." Does anyone have a ...

The author of the Las Vegas Weekly review has added this addendum: QUOTE Note: An astute reader points out that Costello did not play "Pills and Soap," per se, Sunday night, but rather "Stick Out Your Tongue" from Wise Up Ghost, which features nearly all of the words to "Pil...

Apparently Spenser Patterson is not as knowledgeable about Costello as he should be given that he is writing an article. Costello did not perform Pills and Soap (he was probably referring to Stick Out Your Tongue). And Costello was doing the a capella call and response of Walk Us Uptown when ?uestlo...

That is what I consider the Bossa Nova version, similar to what was played in Japan.

I was not sure where to post these. Not sure if there is a thread on this already or if they were posted already but there are some good videos from Fin de Gira 2014, whatever that is: I Almost had a Weakness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNfiDUahRlk Jackson Monk and Rowe http://www.youtube.com/wat...

I do not know how to edit Gigography sections or who is generally in charge of this, but could some change the description regarding Come the Meantimes for March 15 and 16? Currently, it says that he played the Karriem Riggins Remix version. While he did do a version that is substantially different ...

That disco ball was mesmerizing.

I had shelved Wise Up Thought after 2 listens, but since hearing Cinco Minutos live on March 15, it has earned a place in my car's six disc CD changer. However, I still don't listen to Walk Us Uptown remix, is the biggest disaster on the CD.

Wow. That is a great song. Bizarre that I have not heard it until today. I'm downloading that tonight when I get home.

Anyone know how many units WUG has sold thus far? I have been trying to look this up but all I have been able to uncover is the sales for the first two weeks.

Side note: at night one, Wallace Langham, who plays lab tech David Hodges on CSI, was right behind me with his girlfriend (or maybe wife). He seemed pleasant, but I am not sure anyone else recognized him. He must be a big fan because he was on the floor around an hour and a half to two hours before ...

Review from Las Vegas's main newspaper: http://www.reviewjournal.com/columns-blogs/jason-bracelin/elvis-costello-roots-bring-brooklyn-bowl-boil QUOTE Elvis Costello, The Roots bring Brooklyn Bowl to a boil By JASON BRACELIN LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL The only thing nonchalant about the man wielding hi...

Vegas is certainly a terrible town for concerts (for a number of reasons), and I've noticed Costello shows being particularly bad (crowd wise). And it was a nightmare night two up front. I wished I had a syringe of animal tranquilizer like Dexter uses. As to the hookers, I will tell you that hookers...

Where are the comments from Mojo and Veronica Costello? I am dying to hear others' take on the show. I may have been too emotionally taken by the event to be objective about the show.

Elvis Costello / Roots Live in Las Vegas March 15, 2014 Brooklyn Bowl [Audio Only] - all 1hr 53 minutes of the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EO3OpxO5_k#t=17 This is the same link as posted before, which is missing the last few songs. However, it is still quite enjoyable. It is nice to see ...

Probably tonight.

Yay!!!! I will try to jump on it right away.

Is this video going to be uploaded onto Dime? If so, is there any ETA?

Also, night 2 there was a domed video camera in the space between the stage and the front row night in front of ?uestlove that was not there night 1. There were professional video cameras night 1 too, as the show is projected into the bowling alley. However, it is unknown what this domed video camer...

Some other brief comments: Pump It Up on both nights including Yeh Yeh. I love that. EC attempted to use the megaphone on Wise Up Ghost on night one, but it was not working right. On night 2, he had the megaphone on stage, but did not even attempt to use it during Wise Up Ghost. Instead, he only use...

A few seconds of "Watching The Detectives" from night 2: http://instagram.com/p/loRABBBnkG/ Looks like he got the old Jazzmaster back. It was conspicuously missing in Port Chester. He played a variety of guitars including a Danelectro and an Epiphone in addition to the legendary Jazzmaster.

Night 2 was the exact same setlist as night 1. Black Thought and La Merisoul contributed to the same songs. Cpt. Kirk's setlist had Refused to be Saved on it, but it was not played. It's late, so I will post more later. But both nights were EXCELLENT. Hard for me determine which night was better. Th...

It was indeed the Wise Up Thought version. He also performed during Ghost Town. While I was not a fan of the Wise Up Thought version of Cinco, it was great live.

The setlist was identical to what was posted.

I was just blown away. Come the Meantimes. I Want You (particularly Cpt. Kirk's solo). Wise Up Ghost. Black and White World. Just outstanding. Front row, right in front of ?uestlove. Too blown away to make comments with more substance, but I will field questions.
