Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I don't think that's quite how it happened. Elvis was beginning to sing off-Mic as he usually does on these quieter songs when the loudmouth began to yell something about "All You Need Is Love." EC just kept going, pausing a bit as the audience told the dude to shut up, who then replied &q...

Here you go, WAVs of I'm Your Toy and One Bell Ringing.

If you have Itunes, it should automatically ask you to convert it to another format.

It's also exactly two years since he performed at the same venue with the Sugarcanes. http://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php/Concert_2010-04-27_Jacksonville This theater is a beautiful venue and draws a lot of people from elsewhere in the south. I met a really cool couple from South Carolina t...

It was recorded. Two Little Hitlers was definitely the high point of the show. Costello certainly knew what kind of audience he was playing for, making sure he played the hit songs from the early years. Hopefully, it will go on dime before Friday. On to Jacksonville, where I hope he plays something ...

Here's the bow!

Here's the photos I shot last night. I was ten rows away from the stage.

Some highlights:

Just go home from the concert. It was fantastic even though the audience sat down for most of it. Still Costello was in fine form. I can't think of any other songs from the ones mentioned above so Craig's list seems about right. One Bell Ringing was with the full band and it was amazing. The Imposte...

29. Tokyo Storm Warning What! I looked at the set list this morning but completely passed over this one. I'm glad he played. It's one of the songs I'd love to hear live. LA's set list is pretty awesome. I also checked out that La Santa Cecilia this morning and found what I think is a pretty cool co...

Glad you'll be there for us StrangerintheHouse. If you can share the setlist with the forum afterwards, everyone will be suitably grateful. Similarly for any concert photos, particularly photos of the wheel itself, or marquee shots or images of memorabilia (tickets etc) you can contribute. The basi...

And, yes, I was pretty certain that the CD and DVD were going to break in half as I was trying to separate them from the spindles. I was really worried about breaking them too. In fact, I still haven't even put the CD back in the case yet so that I won't have to risk breaking it when removing it ag...

I've read that interview and meant to post something too. Not sure which is worse - Grabbing EC's sweat or saying that GCW is your favorite album?

I'm really digging the set lists so far, they're all very different. He already seemed to have switched the opening numbers. Also, I can't believe he didn't play Alison - I'm glad he didn't and It's one I hope to miss, along with PLU, but it's a bit of a shocker. The jackpots also seemed to be chang...

We have at least one forum contributor attending this rescheduled show. http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/soundcheck/content/elvis-costello-reschedules-ruth-eckerd-hall-concert-april-24 We also have this blogger, who John Foyle found some time ago. http://everyscratch.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/spinning-so...

I'll be there as well as the following show in Jacksonville. Just one more week to go.

I have three tickets for this show if anyone is interested. Orch Row E. Will post details in trading post forum. Aaahhh Don't tempt me! I'm already going to the three other Florida shows. If I did this it, would be the third consecutive six-hour drive in three days, plus the five hour drive to Jack...

Great song. Probably my favorite from the album. Looks like there are 2 different audience recordings from that Dublin 1987 concert that circulate, but I have neither one. Maybe someone can share/upload/torrent? http://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php/Concert_1987-02-07_Dublin Here's a great v...

A friend who knows my affinity for all things Costello just emailed me this: http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/13959213808/1/tumblr_lvxas2Acq41r5gmoe Here's the link and it's worth it to check out the other covers, including Smewmon and Catfunkel - Bridge Over Spoiled Milk http://thekittencovers.tumb...

It's interesting. I think I like the live version from New York a lot better. I wonder if this was recorded on his iPad, it certainly sounds like it.

At last check price down to 202.64. Sun 11/27 9:31 pm I noticed that too and wondered if it was part of a "Cyber Monday" deal. The post on Elvis' website is finally making the rounds across the internet. Here's one from the Telegraph, there are plenty more when you search google news. htt...

R.I.P. Mr. MacManus. My deepest sympathies to EC and all his relatives.

Prices are set by the record label. Unless the artist makes a particular stipulation about a unit price before licensing the recording to the label to be distributed, they really have no control over the final price. Or sometime about a record being released period - just ask Tim McGraw about his t...

I've been listening a lot to the superb recording from the Nov. 7 show in Berlin, which includes one song that I've been dying to hear live - No Wonder. EC's performance of that song is so much better than the one in For The Stars, much more emotionally charged and the sole piano accompaniment is ju...

The 2012 Music Direct catalog arrived in the mail today and it featured this: photo2.JPG Looks like there will be reissues of Imperial Bedroom and Almost Blue. I couldn't find them on either the Mobile Fidelity or Music Direct sites but they did the same thing last year with Get Happy! before it was...

Inspired by all of you who've seen the Spinning Songbook Tour multiple times (I'm looking at your Bronxapostle and Doc,) and those in the UK who will do so in May, I've gotten tickets for three of the Florida shows. I'll be at Clearwater and Hollywood, followed a few days later by Jacksonville, wher...

so is the timing of this suggestion to not purchase linked to the imminent release date? because the ridiculousness of the price is rather old news, as this thread attests to. . .at least back to Sept. 22 is when I first noticed the $345. Did he just not believe it to be possible until now? I mean,...
