Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I'm a little slow..... I just realized that VH1 is not showing this live. I trust that the good folks on this list will let fools like me know when it will actually be aired.
Thanks!

Stuff like this is why I give thanks every day for the internet. I would have almost certainly missed this in the"old days".

An Alaskan Malamute named Costello was best in show at the recent AKC Championship. Sounds like it was a big deal in the doggie world. I noticed a blurb about it in Sports Illustrated, but here is a better story. http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20060117/1024503.asp Unfortunately, it appears tha...

So you think that you have seen her
When you're lying in between her

is funny but still a little wince-inducing

I always thought this was rather crass, though the song is otherwise great.
Sometimes I think that love is just a tumor
You've got to cut it out

Oh man, that's funny! The big question is whether EC was the duper or dupee in this affair. Hey DK, you'd better check to be sure your wedding ring isn't cubic zirconia!

I only saw the end of the Elton thing, but I also noticed he was a bit, er, puffy. His face looks darn good though, has he had work? Funniest thing was the audience shots of women crying during sentimental songs... it looked for all the world to me that they were remembering happier days when they w...

Has anyone in the US got this yet? I pre-ordered from Deep Discount DVD, but it looks like it hasn't been sent yet. It was supposed to be sent early so that it would get to me on/about the 20th. I've been looking forward to this for > 6 mo., I need it NOW!!!!!

14 bucks, that's cheap! Do they know how much people like us would pay for this? I guess they have to price it with non-fanatics in mnd as well.

I was at that show! I was in the upper section. It may well have been my first EC show. I'm sure the show was great, but what I rememeber most was that Elvis was constantly swathed in a variety of fluorescent spotlights, often from below. The effect made him look quite the alien. It will be great to...

Word said: "Too many of his promo clips seem like uncalled-for comments on pieces of music that would have been better left alone." I have to agree that many of the EC videos I've seen are pretty weak, at least in comparison to how great the music is. I was always exctited to see him on MT...

I still listen to Get the Knack and Cheap Trick's In Color when I want some good power pop. Although the song has been played to death, the guitar solo in My Sharona remains one of my faves. And I think Bun E. Carlos is a great drummer. ps - I'm going to see X tonight in San Diego..... any other X f...

I only know the Naz version, but I think it's not bad. Ok, I'm a fool I admit it. I'm sure other versions are better. Funny story about Axl Rose.

This is a great clip alright. Notice that Steve's keyboard isn't plugged in for the first minute or so.... you can see the roadie run behind and fix it.

Go for it! Your review will be the tiebreaker.

I generally don't pay as much attention to bass as I do to other instruments, but I have come to the conclusion that it was Bruce's playing, as much as anything, that was responsible for the weird, wonderful sound of the Attractions. I read that EC once referred to Bruce playing "lead bass"...

My letter's in there too, but I have a different opinion than the expert.

Well, that didn't work. Anyone want to PM me on how to insert pics? In the meantime, you might be able to see them by pasting the URLs?

Ok, I'll give this a try. Personally, I like the last one best. :D Just about the only decent one that I have. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ahawkman/detail?.dir=/mail&.dnm=6d72.jpg&.src=ph This one is soooo bad it's almost good! http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ahawkman/detail?.dir=/mail&....

Well, the concert pics didn't turn out well at all, too dark and I didn't want to distract by using the flash. Oh, I DID end up with one picture that I'm rather fond of.

The show was great; I was geeked about the setlist too because many of the songs were unexpected. For (partially) that reason, Little Triggers was my personal highlight. Other fave moments were I Can't Stand Up..., Heart of the City (I gotta break out Nick's PPFNP again), Possession, Green Shirt, Cl...

Point taken re: vinyl.

Boy, if we're talking about regrettable photos, this one has to be at the top of my list!

I'll be there, and will report back. Ought to be great! If anyone's going, drop me a line SOON!

But isn't the live "True Love Ways" part of the expanded re-release anyway?

Setlist looks great, how would you rate the sound quality?
