These corporate gigs must be a nice little boost to EC's kids college fund.

Hey SoulforHire - You should totally try to score a free pass. I've done it for corp. gigs. Check craigslist or if you are anywhere near the convention area, just ask folks for their pass. Saw EC and Tom Petty (differnt year) at Oracle Open World this way. Man, I would totally crash this event if I were in the area. Free food and booze is usually included, too.

Fall Out Boy, Elvis Costello & YOU at Pulse Palooza 2014!
23 January, 2014
By: Kim Messeri
CATEGORY: PULSE 2014

Pulse Palooza talent announced
Have you registered yet for Pulse 2014? If not, what are you waiting for! Did you know that in addition to great networking, hearing from industry thought leaders and discovering how to use cloud as a growth engine for your business…you’re also invited to a private rock concert that will have you rockin’ the night away!
Photo of Fall Out Boy
Imagine being entertained by not one, but TWO headline acts. First up, the Grammy-nominated band Fall Out Boy, fresh off of two sold-out tours for their #1 album, Save Rock and Roll.
Hailing from Chicago, Fall Out Boy—Patrick Stump (vocals/guitar), Pete Wentz (bass), Joe Trohman (guitar) and Andy Hurley (drums)—has appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone and other prestigious publications. They have performed on Saturday Night Live, The Today Show, America’s Got Talent, The Voice, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Conan, The Late Show with David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel Live and many more.
Photo of Elvis Costello
Up next? None other than the rock legend and icon, Elvis Costello! From the iconic “Pump It Up” to “Alison” to “Every Day I Write the Book,” every song is a hit…and instantly recognizable!
Elvis Costello has followed his musical curiosity in a career spanning more than 30 years. He is perhaps best known for his performances with The Attractions, The Imposters and for concert appearances with pianist Steve Nieve. However, he has also entered into acclaimed collaborations with Burt Bacharach, The Brodsky Quartet, Paul McCartney, Swedish mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter, guitarist Bill Frisell, composer Roy Nathanson, The Charles Mingus Orchestra, record producer and songwriter T Bone Burnett and Allen Toussaint.


So get pumped and get ready to rock – this is one evening you will not want to miss! And it all takes place in one of the great music venues in the country today: the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Tuesday, February 25th
MGM Grand Garden Arena
7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Food and Beverages provided.

Note:Pulse Palooza is included in your purchase of a full conference pass, exhibitor pass, dev@Pulse pass, and Tuesday day pass. Additional guest passes can be purchased for $100 on-site during open registration hours. Cash payment will not be accepted.

if you are a stone's throw from the place, get there 4-5 o'clock if work permits. loiter, ask questions, don't be shy and HOPE FOR THE BEST! you will get in for FREE (or for a fair amount if someone barely interested has a spare) i'd BET (as long as we are in Vegas! :lol: ) good luck Robert (if memory serves me well.) if you rarely get to see him, that $100 guest pass could be indeed worth it. SETLIST PLEASE!!!

well...there are several tweets about this coming over right now pertaining to soundcheck, EC spottings and the billing of the bands for Pulse (whatever that is) at MGM (where i did see E Street in 2000)...so, i guess it is a "GO" and i leave the twitter search in the VERY capable hands of ANCT! good night from New York! ba

*sigh* I did not. It just wasn't in the cards for me. At least I've got tickets for the two Roots shows in March!

Annoyingly short video clips of three songs:

Come The Meantimes
Watching The Detectives
Alison

These are also here with a gallery of other photos, most apparently shot on a camera phone from the back of a very large hall..
