Elvis Costello Fan Forum

There's a new interview on the MSN site by Alan Light, who writes on the Spectacle site. Some interesting statements about the live reissues, and the possibility of playing entire albums in concert! http://entertainment.ca.mns.com/music/features/article.aspx?cp-documentid=23188019 "I'm often to...

Last year the show was a co-production between Sundance Channel, CTV, Channel 4, and FremantleMedia. This season only Sundance Channel and CTV appear in the credits. The budget restrictions EC has mentioned may be related to this change. Also I don't see Dell as a sponsor anymore, seems to be Infin...

It's also possible that the Albert Hall recording could be from December, as live tracks from the 24th or 27th (can't recall offhand) have been released before....again, anything after 1981 beings up the questions, will they go to a 2-CD set? They could avoid the problem with the Jan 7th show by onl...

THANK YOU very much!

They've now added a performance of "Bedlam" as well.

I am guessing these come from the final taping where Elvis was the guest and played a long set....can anyone who was there confirm that?

John, when you say it's the same track, is it really just a loop of what's already been heard, in other words, no actual new performance? I tried to buy it and the cheap one was up, put it in the cart and then had to register for the site, by which time they had taken it out of my cart and sold it t...

John,
could you post a file of this so we can hear if it's anything new or not???

The page for Spectacle on the Sundance Channel site has also been updated for Season 2. In addition to clips from the first episode, it has a clip of Elvis doing "High Fidelity" which is apparently an outtake. Much better than two minute backstage interviews!

Check out the official website, and you'll see it has been devoted to Spectacle again, with a black and white film of Elvis, sans jacket, dancing around backstage.....followed by a commercial for the new season... It also says to stay tuned for the all new website coming in 2010, and shows a turntab...

I thion you're right!

On the other hand, it could just be a badly written sentence, which only refers to Elvis opening the Festival last year. Maybe they're just saying it's a five day event, like last year when Elvis opened.

Looks like Elvis is returning to Winnipeg, probably on July 7, 2010....

The Robert Duvall film, starring Jeff Bridges, is being released December 16th. Maybe the song or songs Elvis contributed will be up for Oscar consideration next spring.

More variations, as I watch the Lou Reed episode. Julian Schnable does a longer, unexpurgated version of his recital of "Rock Minuet".

Well, I've watched the first 3 episodes now (after first watching the bonus material) and the crazy thing is, at least the Clinton episode has at least one additional thing in it....when Bill is discussing his favorite songs, he talks about the Beatles' "In My Life"...which he didn't do in...

I hate to be the grumpy old man again, but unless there are some surprises I don't know about, I have to be let down by the extras on the Spectacle release. The 4 songs they give us are nice, especially Well-Known Gun, but they left off several other songs that were filmed...why? It's galling to see...

Wow, this makes up for the disappointing Colbert appearance. A little "Long Journey Home" and a great High Fidelity circa 1979. Excellent performance!!

I think the picture's terrible. It's got to be from 2008, his eyes are going in different directions, and he looks like Sebastian Cabot.

Looks like Elvis made another guest appearance Monday night. YouTube has a couple videos from Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble held at the City Winery, EC can be seen singing The Weight and Tennessee Jed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZvipefwnlk and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaDB_WDM608 Dave

Oh. Duh. I thought Sunday was the 9th. My bad.

What's up with this? Neither Amazon nor ITunes has the EC/AT track available. How does one get it???

OK, well now it makes sense, as ANCT said. Elton was to host the show and interview Elvis, bringing the show full circle from episode 1 of the series. Also makes sense why ticket offers were sent to the Elvis ticket buyer list this time. (did ANYONE get one of those pairs?) So I guess the press rele...

Mary....Louise....Parker???? You're kidding me. I was so sure it was Paul. It just made sense. Well, happy that I didn't miss a once in a lifetime event, but sad thst an event I probably would never get into anyway was not filmed for posterity tonight...will there be no Macca Spectacle after all???
