Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Second row, top has the EC wide eyed stare that's usually seen in response to some idiot comment !!

Following Lou Reeds demise, BBC Radio 4's P.M. Interviewed legendary rock writer Charles Shaar Murray who described Lou as one of the more difficult people in the business along with Van Morrison, Bob Dylan and our Elvis - a common thread here, I think !

I think you're over -optimistic BA, same set list every night ( I doubt very much) but I'm going for 89 !!!
Hope I'm wildly wrong ! How many shows are you and Mr. Sony doing ?

Thanks, "Soul" !

At last, Otis - my recording is up on dime - I'm post nights and haven't included the link -sorry - those who want it know where to look ! Night,night !

Sulky - I might use my birthday present...

I'm talking to my wife about a holiday in Rome next year (or words to that effect!)

Mrs. Sulky took our girls to Rome for a holiday and promised she'd take them back once she'd retired - so that's us sorted.

My recording up on dime now : -

Seems a bit like a Roman Meltdown (groan !)

[quote][/ And while the original Get Happy offers no real bass,] This was the first album that really got me into playing bass along with Setting Sons - I hope the writer is just referring to the US Columbia pressing rather than the F-Beat gem. Bruce is unquestionbly the star of this, apart from the...

I hope I'm invited to his party (even though I didn't invite him to mine).

.he'd have loved the atmosphere and the crazy dancing but I'm not sure how he'd have got on with the bassist !

That'd be me - give me a couple of days ....

My recording of this is up on dime now - might even get some more by the end of the week unless Mrs. Sulky turns my leave into a chance to alter the configuration of the West Devon landscape by setting me shifting millenia old landforms
Torrent number 467686 !

I recorded all of these and I've no doubt there are a few forum members who have my recordings. I'll try and dig them out and compare with the wiki. They might eventually appear on dime once I've caught up on this years concerts !

It's not the distance, BA it's your age and your eyes - :lol: :lol: I nearly accosted some bloke in Blackpool in June cos I thought it was Steve and only just realised in time. Did Mr Sony make it to the park ? Thanks for the concerts the Doc has put on dime, looking forward to grabbing the BB show ...

Has everyone forgotten the magnificent You Little Fool ? I adked Steve earlier this year if it was a genuine harpsichord or an electronic keyboard and he confirmed my conviction that it WAS a real harpsichord !

Another year and now a Big Un - so after all the hints , Happy Birthday VG . I have spent many wonderful hours in this amazing man's company, pre, post and during huge numbers of EC concerts and every moment in his company is a real pleasure. Can I have my Revolver mug now please

For VG it's wearing well and dancing worse, many happy returns from the Sulkies !

A soundboard, whoopee , just wish there had been a SBD of the Picket, Liverpool in 2007. It's not an analogue SBD, is is BA

My vinyl copy arrived yesterday but the Michell is still carefully wrappedin bubble wrap and I trawled the only CD outlets in Plymouth in vain for the CD . May have to take a day out to trek around to find it - and I might even have Doc's recording from last night before the CD appears. Like Otis, I...

Thanks in advance for the recordings, Doc, it appears to have been a fantastic evening, I just hope there are many more gigs. I only wish there'd been an advance warning about the gig, I'm sure VG and I could have wangled a way of getting there had we had a bit more notice . Here's to more EC and Ro...

Wonderful to think you may be sitting on an uncirculated gem BA ( even if it is analogue :wink: ) but seriously, I reckon there are a few of us, including Dave Favehour in particular, who would have most of the audience recordings ever made that have been "out there"> I spent a long period...

Thanks very much, Doc, will try this with RAH 6th June coming next !

My recording up on dime now - dammit just lost the link - you know where to look ? PS _ Doc my samples keep failing - is it because I'm sampling the whole song ? Never thought about just taking snippets !

It's VG's 50th birthday ( though he really only dances like he's that age) and I wanted to give him a special ticket but this is just too short notice! I doubt The Roots will come to the UK anytime soon to a trek seemed in order just to mert BA on home turf
