Re: EC & The Roots play New York's Brooklyn Bowl, Sep. 16, 2

This one stings! I was able to pull up a tickets for this show this morning but wasn't able to pull the trigger since I'm busy on the 16th. I really hope there are more shows with The Roots. Damn, this would of been my first Costello GA show since Lupos in 2003.

Has anyone in the US found a way to order a physical copy of this?

Re: More Solo Shows: Storrs CT 11/21/13, DC 11/22/13

Wow, Uconn! I went to school there and have seen a ton of shows in that room. Costello playing there is pretty surreal for me.

Re: Elvis album rankings at Stereogum

Right off the bat, MLAR is not worse than Goodbye Cruel World! I think the key point on both of those albums are that they both have great songs on them that got mucked up with bad productions. The MLAR songs on the Unplugged are amazing and the GCW songs solo show their true beauty.

Re: all this useless beauty: vinyl

I have a vinyl copy of ATUB that I have hanging up in my house (right next to a signed copy of Aim and Delivery Man). I found it in a random mall record store discount bin maybe a year or so after the album originally came out. It was the only time I ever saw it for sale originally. I know now if go...

It will be cool to see him do this live on the show. He does such a great cover of Brilliant Disguise.

Re: Track listing for live dvd/cd/lp

Amazon has it at $251 and says only 1500 are made. They also note that standard editions of the CD and DVD will be out next year.

It looks cool and I'm tempted but it's about $100 more than I would consider paying for this.

Re: top ten songs that should be on next REVOLVER leg!

I too wish he would of toured Momofuku properly. Lots of great songs on there. Seeing things like Turpentine, Stella Hurt, and American Gangster Time pop up during the songbook tour was nice but I would of loved to of seen some proper shows for that album. I'm always excited for the tours off the ne...

Re: Elvis/Imposters, New York, Oct. 1 '11

Great show last night. The best of the wheel shows that I've seen on this tour. It was a smart move to do the "popular song round up" at the beginning of the set. The audience was very polite. Alot of gems, I got to see pretty much everything I could of asked for seeing and more. If we can...

Re: Elvis on MTV Unplugged 1991 Complete Video With All Outt

I agree. I've always been a fan of the Rude 5. One of the more under appreciated EC backing bands. I have a few bootlegs from the 89 and the 91 Rude 5. I prefer the more moody 91 Rude 5 over the 89. The shows from that tour seem to have some bitterness too them that I really liked. Glad to have a DV...

Re: Elvis Costello Concert October 1st (Fans Gathering)

hey thanks. I got into EC in the early 90s during high school. I've been seeing him usually at least once a tour since WIWC (around 20 shows). I got to meet him on the Delivery Man tour through the landmine charity which was really cool. I very surreal moment. I love this board and the wiki site in ...

I would love to attend the meetup. I'm usually at Costello shows by myself and have always really wanted to meet up with some other hardcore Costello fans at the shows. BTW...I'm new to the board.
