I'm going to his last show of the tour but seeing as tickets are still available I'm sort of tempted to go to this one as well but my biggest problem is actually getting there.

I'm not sure if I'll go yet but anyone per chance heading up from or passing through the Arlington/Poughkeepsie area to the Kingston concert and wouldn't mind potentially taking me along with them?

If I do go I can definitely chip in for gas or whatever else I just imagine the taxi prices would be fairly horrid and I'm not on the largest disposable income in the world.

Seems like the dude needs a day off. Mid-week day off is always the best, at least that's how I've always felt being a full-time desk jockey for many, many years now. He could be accommodating his family schedule, too. He probably feels like he is going to the salt mines at times.. Just like every other schmuck that has to work to pay to live/pay bills, etc.

It seems that the Austin Powers musical is still on.

amazing stat of the night! last night included the 650th different song i have seen ELVIS perform LIVE before my eyes. for my next trick (a/k/a LIST). i vow by Christmas to have a thread for you to behold the list of songs. my friend was goofing on me yesterday, saying: "your next list, should be a list of lists."
we saw E departing his bus as it pulled backstage approximately 4:30. naturally, i called and he, as always, graciously stopped. was wearing a BIG hoodie winter coat with a brimmed hat beneath that. therefore, NO great photo opportunity. i asked for him to sign my "book" at the very top of the page 110 that will include last nights songs. he was pleased/impressed to hear it was 110! i then, as almost always, say something annoying/shocking yet in a friendly manner to him. i say "what's the matter, you look sad?" he seemed mildly bewildered by my statement. i surmise it was simply that he had just awoken from the bus ride to upstate from NYC. i further went on to say that i had missed one of my favorites performed the second night in Port Chester: IN ANOTHER ROOM! his response was "obviously, i'm NOT unhappy enough ( IMPLIED > to perform the song.)" hence, HE GOT IT BACKWARDS despite it being his usual witty type of retort. :lol: :lol:
we then heard him soundchecking HOW DEEP IS THE RED>RED COTTON for about fifteen minutes before we got the bums rush by stage manager dude. sadly, he soundchecked at least another twenty minutes. too bad we got chased. and imagine: SONY actually makes even THIS recording sound decent enough to share, even though behind closed doors in the parking lot. i will tack it on at the back end of the recording for posterity sake.
so, his intro before DISTORTED ANGEL went something like this. "I WAS A CATHOLIC ALTAR BOY, BECAUSE I HAD A SAD FACE!" me and Don looked at each other LAUGHING!!! :lol: :lol:

Great stuff ba.

Great to know that All the Rage is on the radar. Nothing is going to top the trio of me asking him to play it on Wednesday after the Southend gig; Elvis playing it 2 gigs later and then patting me on the shoulder and saying "No problem" when I thanked him for playing it on the last night of the tour. Best moments ever for me.

I have never totted up the number of different Elvis songs I've heard him play - there's a few but nowhere near your number. I am in awe.

Review by Seth Rogovoy at http://rogovoyreport.com/2013/11/15/elv ... ac-review/

"Elvis Costello Triumphs Over Himself at UPAC
November 15, 2013


(KINGSTON, N.Y., November 14, 2013) – Elvis Costello sure doesn’t make it easy for himself. He writes impossibly twisted and complicated melodies that plunge and swoop and go to unexpected places. He writes impossibly complicated lyrics to match – crowded with multisyllabic words that have to pour out of the singer’s mouth like honey lest they crash into one another. He jumps styles like hopscotch – country, jazz, rockabilly, classic pop, Beatlesque pop, swing, Latin, big-band, operetta, folk, music hall, blues, reggae, soul, folk, Irish, New Orleans — blending them in unprecedented ways.

When it works – when it all falls together mellifluously, as it did on numbers like “All This Useless Beauty” and “Deep Dark Truthful Mirror” on Thursday night at the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) – it’s a thrill to behold, a moment of transcendence, really. And there were several of those moments, as Costello took his audience singlehandedly through a walk through his considerable body of work, touching on greatest hits such as “Watching the Detectives” and “Alison” through deep catalog material for hardcore fans, with even a few old Tin Pan Alley tunes, including a few phrases from “Brother Can You Spare a Dime,” vocalized gloriously off mic into the old theater.

Although he has a terrific new album out which he recorded with funk group the Roots, this was a solo show, mostly acoustic, featuring songs from throughout Costello’s 40 year career. Highlights of the performance included a version of “Radio Radio,” sung with the original lyrics, in an arrangement that more overtly nodded to its twin inspirations: Bruce Springsteen and Van Morrison. Costello lovingly introduced his hit song “Veronica” – which he co-wrote with Paul McCartney — as a tribute to his grandmother that also would have made mincemeat of a lesser vocalist, and was a gracious entertainer, peppering his tunes with stories from his life, especially about his family – he comes from several generations of entertainers, and it’s really the family business that he’s all about.

He joked about wanting to open the show in Kingston with “Trenchtown Rock” – a tribute to another musical hero, Bob Marley – until he realized it was the other Kingston he was in. He offered a selection of film-noir-influenced numbers — including, obviously, “Watching the Detectives,” which saw him playing some pretty slick guitar loops heavy on the reverb – and then veered off into his “religious” work, in what he described overall as a “gospel show.”

He worked hard – playing for over two hours straight – and the audience kept him onstage for two lengthy encores. Elvis Costello may never have become a huge star – he topped out as a theater performer, although he did do a few summer-shed co-bills (I recall seeing him at SPAC) – but there are few if any as talented and as highly respected for both their art and craft by both fans and fellow musicians.

And yes, he still seems pretty angry."
