Re: 2014 Wednesday Oct 29th LONDON, ENGLAND, Royal Albert Ha

It seems to me as though Elvis feels some sort of work ethic that he feels increasingly obliged to keep up following the sad demise if his father. There seems to have been a bit if a writer 's block since Ross left us and little in the way if new recorded product and I think the all that's been writ...

Re: Mid 90s proposal for Costello 'live' box set

It seems incredible that there is such a dearth of information a...

Re: COMPLETED! who thinks EC has performed 1500 different li

Magnificent effort BA not least for the research into those little snippets we subconsciously hear in live performances. One day I must list all the ones I've heard and see what we've got in common and what we have that is unique for us :wink:

Re: What are Elvis's favourite venues?

As for venues in Liverpool, how about the gig with Alain Toussaint at The Picket in 2007. One of the top two gigs I've ever seen in my life and I've always been a bit saddened that whenever Elvis had played in Liverpool he hasn't chosen to do 2 nights, one at somewhere like the Royal Court to pay th...

Re: Elvis turns 60 on August 25

I reckon VG might be in with a chance of an invite cos Elvis always acknowledges him when they meet - but then he might remember his front row dancing and that'll change his mind ! :oops:

Although I couldn't make it to Bexhill, in the end I've been more than compensated by the mighty VG who got my ticket signed by Elvis and managed to procure a plectrum for me as well - he is a mighty miracle man ! :D
