Re: Elvis on Letterman, June 5th 2014
Like the quote I've mentioned before. I think EC has a sneaky mild resignation where we tapers are concerned . The bootlegs like you quoted are much more insidious and undermining (IMHO) you know he loves us Brother !

Re: Elvis taking questions on Twitter, June 5 '14
Doesn't EC have a comment from way back along the lines of live bootlegs can be fun but studio boots are the work of bandits and thieves. ( or something akin to that ) ? I always felt he thought that the highly amateur recordings that BA and I amongst others make is nothing like as inflammatory as f...

Re: Steve Nieve plays a Tall Piano, Germany, Nov. 2014
Can't seem to get to the events but as I'm now definitely going, can you ask Steve for "The Invisible Man", "Talking In The Dark", "Little Triggers" "Green Shirt" .... and so on ! Any of the versions of songs we heard so many times in 1999 would be perfect - o...

Re: EC solo tours 2014 tally: LAST YEAR OF HIS YOUTH
I think you're being a bit optimistic here, BA, I'd be happy if we get more than 250 so I'll settle on 271 . How lucky we are to follow seine who could possibly fulfil our dreams of such a huge numbers of songs . There's no- one on the world currently able to have alive repertoire of this size :shock:

Not sure about attendance now as I may be in Birmingham for the weekend, which actually make sit more feasible but if not I'll have to stay home and babysit the dog !

Re: Elvis Costello and the Attractions Live in Germany 1978
It would be excellent to have an official Rockpalast recording of the 1983 TKO show as I've only ever seen it on grainy VHS or low quality DVD.

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Auckland (New Zealand), Apr 27, 2
I saw The Imposters a few times after gigs on 2013 in the UK and badgered them, especially Pete and Steve about doing BTTPunch and in the end I said, it's in 7ths you know and Pete rolled his eyes and Steve smirked - think this was possibly after the great meet and great at Sheffield

Strangers In Amsterdam LP
Of all the old vinyl bootlegs of EC, this is my Holy Grail , though I do have a recording on cassette. Has anyone here ever seen or own a copy ? It has never appeared on eBay or on Discogs and I've never seen a copy at any record fair - and I've attended quite a few I can tell you !

Re: Article about partners in crime Pete Thomas and Steve Ni
Funny how you rarely see Pete and Steve together pre or post shows. They rarely leave together and Pete tends to be in the company of Davey. Musically of course, they have developed such empathy that it seems telepathic but that must also come from playing with Elvis who doesn't stick to pre- ordain...
