[Little Fool]

I'm going too, really looking forward to it, It will be my 5th EC gig this year, (4 Revolver shows in the UK), hoping to meet up with some forum followers and having a great evening.

[Little Fool]

Whoops, wrong thread !!!!, I'm going on the 26th.

[Harry Lime]

I'll be there. Hoping for some special treats on the last night of the East Coast swing.

[Eugene]

Tickets arrived today...GCB 103 & 104...hoping last night of the tour brings out the "1 more" finger multiple times.

[bronxapostle]

Steven Mandel tweets:

@ElvisCostello just bossa nova'd MEANTIMES and hendrix'd SUGAR. @questlove #WiseUpGhost

Wave A White Flag into White Knuckles?!?!? I can seriously die now.

If only @Hedi131 and @dmelkins5000 were here to see what I just saw. Live acoustic My New Haunt!

(His sister Hedi Mandel is credited with "screams" on the studio version of "My New Haunt.")

If I Could Believe encore.

Take off your party dress.

More:

Highlights from tonites @ElvisCostello show: This Year's Girl, Poor Napoleon, Harry Worth, Worthless Thing, Imagination, Indoor Fireworks.

Looks like bronxapostle got his wish for "Imagination (Is A Powerful Deceiver)"!

And "Worthless Thing" hadn't been played since 1986.

[veronicacostello]

WOW wait….didn't BA request Imagination for the last show in some thread??!

[Arbogast]

Just saw the setlist. I'm sick that I missed this show!

[Harry Lime]

Just returned from this show.

Holy f*ck!

Imagination (Is a Powerful Deceiver). King of Confidence. Poor Napoleon. Super-electric My New Haunt. Couldn't Call It Unexpected. All These Strangers.

All the songs from the new album really benefited from being heard in their stripped-down state. It gave me new insight into them. And the slow reading of Poor Napoleon revealed the sad song that lies at its heart.

And as Mr Mandel tweeted, Wave a White Flag into White Knuckles. That's some inspired sequencing.

Holy f*ck!

WOW wait….didn't BA request Imagination for the last show in some thread??!

yes i did...and what a gem it was.

Just saw the setlist. I'm sick that I missed this show!

sorry to say, i would be too!

MY NEW HAUNT was incredible!!! A+++ as was KNUCKLES and so many more.

the only thing different i might have to say about the setlist is...i think it might have to be called RADIO RADIO SOUL as he was attempting to fulfill a request for RADIO RADIO before morphing into Radio Soul. it got weird that way, but cool. what a show it was to end this stellar tour with a 2:35 performance. and the best news is we listened to some of doc's recording coming home....fantastic.

[stricttime81]

WOW... Just Wow. Unbelievable show!!! "Unexpected" was beautiful, and so many other gems. King of Confidence?? Harpie's?? Really???

Good to see Doc and BA at the show again.

[jmm]

Puppet was the highlight for me. Enjoyed all of the WUG songs tonight

Show was a little ragged in a love able way tonight, like the radio radio / radio soul that BA mentioned

Glad to see Mr. BA and get to both shows to end the tour. These different shows, bands, set lists and everything really are amazing. Thanks for always making things so interesting EC, something we can all be thankful for

[tinbrooklyn]

Best tour I can remember, I saw 11 shows, 152 different songs. He played songs I never thought I would be fortunate to see him do live. Just live in Brooklyn and vacation in England and 2013 included
18 shows, With the Who, Spinning Wheel, 3 nights at RAH, Sheffield, Liverpool , Brooklyn Bowl with The Roots and 11 in Tri-state. Great venues, great crowds and Mr. Costello is the only man except Bruce ( hope you enjoyed the shows Ba and Doc) who would and could do it. Great to be a fan of EC!
Thanks to everyone for the heads up on tickets, I do not know what I would do without this website!!

so very glad to say a quick hello to you too jmm. next time, we must PLAN better. (like packing me into your suitcase for ROME in 2014). i was especially enamored with the set ending debut of MY NEW HAUNT. how great was THAT? and the killer WHITE KNUCKLES that i could almost hear Steve playing. and my VERY beloved IMAGINATION from THE bootleg that has been with me for more than 30 years...OUR AIM IS TRUE on clear vinyl. my old band did that song a few half a dozen times and i actually had to do that little guitar part (despite NOT being a guitar player ) that EC accentuated so nicely to end the song tonight. WHAT A NIGHT!!! 111 shows in and i get SEVEN (or eight) i never saw before. imagine...the man remains the KING!

Holy cow, what a set list!!
Well done with Imagination ...., ba!!

[Eugene]

Setlist scans: I've been demoted to "casual fan", as I didn't know the majority of these songs; DEEP CUTS indeed.

Had a pre-show chat with ba, MTL and doc. I have to look at my photos to see if any are worthy of posting.

[History Repeats]

It seems the tour is ending just at a time just when you thought it couldn't get any better...and now here is this amazing set list.

Thanks for the youtubes, doc...very much enjoying them

Let's hope he revisits this format often; an amazing run
