I will be there with my wife. Never been to Atlantic City - Elvis might be the only way I would ever think of going.

currently looking for a replacement SONY! :( :(
but the good news, the tickets keep pouring in for this show.
already had a real good deal on three as my wife and i are crashing with our cousin who has a free suite in Borgata that night!!!
as if that wasn't cool enough, Borgata just peeled off two free tickets for her to the show too.
so, brotherapostle will join in the extravaganza and he has been known to zoom here and there. 8) 8) 8)
alongside his excellent photography skills. wheeeeee

Free tickets -
reminds me, I won two tickets for EC and the As at the last Roundhouse gi in 1996. Used one for me, Mrs. Sulky declined so i sold it and used the proceeds to buy the "certain as a lost dog" tee shirt -sadky worn out and no longer with us !!
Enjoy !!

Are there any indications of what the show will cover? Is he playing the album in its entirety or is this just a tour title?

Wife and I will be there too!

Costello will frame selections from 1982’s "Imperial Bedroom” album with "the songs that led in and out of that velvet-trimmed playhouse.”

Asked to elaborate on the show, Costello added, "You must have known by now that we wouldn't play this kind of show by anyone else's rules. You'll hear all the songs that fit the bill; hits and headlines, waifs and strays. In the words of the great Eric Morecambe, ‘I am playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order.’"

Based on the recently deleted Instagram post, it looks like yet another version of Everyday I Write The Book is in the works.

He's going to play it as per the original lyric sheet that came with the vinyl i.e. All of the words sung with no punctuation or breaks in songs :lol:

Word from BA on Facebook that he's been given a backstage pass - he asked me to share the news.
