Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Hope and pray all are safe, particularly subscribers to this site, thanks to JOAP for keeping us informed , as Otis says, it all looks terrifying and the costs of restoring normality will be astronomical . No news from BA which is a bit concerning, and whilst not wanting to belittle the situation, I...

I agree with Otis - it's a magnificent album, but then again, so is KOA , and I can't think of any other artist except for The Beatles (Help and Rubber Soul) who have released two epic albums in one year !

Sadly this is one I shall probably miss , away on a course all week and then working nights back in Plymouth on Monday

Think of all the cash you'll be saving not needing any long haul flights, JD

Who's upper sharing a box with me and Verbal?

Guilty as charged, probably on an old Aiwa cassette recorder so don't expect too much. Met Steve and Pete and Elvis afterwards, Bruce never showed and Steve had to see his sister off before coming back to sign my copy of El Mocambo (probably a boot to be honest) as did Pete and EC ! Still to meet Br...

Many congrats to the mighty Verbal, my dear friend and EC concert attendee, who has now reached the age where his posts may be viewed as the murmurings of a mature and experienced mind and Not those of a loon !!!

Further to my comment on the eBay ticket for Manchester with The Attractions, the event is listed under "Comedy" - bet Bruce isn't laughing !!

Just been given an early birthday present, Row B at Gateshead - bought from The Sage's own site rather than through any agencies !

Just noticed on eBay, tickets for Manchrster for Elvis Costello and The Attractions - if this is the case, I'll be going to every UK show !! Does Elvis know this yet !

Can only concur with the above, I checked the presales at lunchtime on Wednesday and then contcted St. David's Hall, Cardiff and City hall, Sheffield box offices and got far better seats - so where's the advantage to us "fans" ? I'd like a free pack of Elvis picks now please !

So - pre birthday treats already sorted - which means,
Birmingham, Cardiff, Bristol, Rah x2, Sheffield, Liverpool and Basingstoke all sorted - Mrs Sulky is NOT going to be happy - lots of appeasement for the next few months !!

Just got front row stalls for Sheffield and row D for Cardiff, will be at both Birmingham and RAH shows with VGA and Basingstoke, the rest is just a matter of speculation between me and Mrs Sulky

I wish !!! I'd be making soundboard recordings "purely for personal use" of course !

My flash recording now up on dime: - Torrent #418676 Elvis Costello And The Imposters, Royal Albert Hall, London 23 May 2012 Please note, the recording is not quite complete ( or incomplete if you're really pedantic - mentioning no names and I know I haven't started the compilation yet but it will b...

I'll second that emotion !!!
Thanks on advance, Doc

We're you there,BA ? And if so, how did they let under 5 year olds on :roll:The recordings of these shows both on audio and DVD have always made me wish I'd seen this period of EC live.

Some of the later UK 1984 shoes in October of that year were incredibly long, as I recall. Didn't make it to the Hammersmith shoes but according to VG they were quite epic !!

And the main part of Shabby Doll with an extraordinary ending !

To be honest, I don't know why I bother turning up, I can't get a word in past Mr Foyle, Vg insults me for not making all the CDs that he want's and , to add insult to injury, I get punctuation lesson'es from a Welshman !! :lol: :roll: As always great to have a healthy turnout and to be reminded of ...

My recording up on dime now - sorry struggling to paste the link. Also as I'm only near an iPhone could some kind soul edit the wiki and put the correct order for Nottingham (Beyond Belief comes in at song 7 and at Bristol Elvis didn't do Who's The meanest Gal at all. One of the most awesome version...

I did offer to teach you how to use my recorder
It seems I'm expected now to cover the whole of the UK tour for 2013 in case something rare turns up !!

Mrs Sulky hasn't been told that this means we're now buying a caravan currently under 3 feet of water in Ottery St. Mary when we sell our house in Brum and using to equity from the sale for 16 tickets !!! It's going to be a nightmare trying to swing this one - but I'll try. I may have to ask for a s...

My recording of this show now on dime

He variable scowls once he spots VGA and myself in the audience screaming for some obscure number or fighting to get the lapel microphones adjusted !!
