Re: 10 NIGHTS AT THE GRAMERCY NYC FEB 2023
I’m definitely interested in this. I did feel slightly underwhelmed by the UK tour, as others have said. I enjoyed it but it never really fired me up. Maybe I was hoping for too much. I’ve had a pretty bad couple of years starting from receiving the email on the morning of the show to say Oxford wa...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Hammersmith Apollo, London, June 23, 2022
Interesting topic. I can't imagine going to 11 or 12 straight shows by anyone and being able to feel a sense of "wow." For me, it's a bigger phenomenon. EC, and we, are much, much older than when we started on this journey. We're all very lucky that our fave artist is still alive, vital an...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, Antwerp (Belgium), June 26 & 27 2022
Anyone understand why there's not one, but TWO shows in Antwerp of all places? This on a tour where he's snubbing, among others, Berlin, the cultural capital (also the actual capital) of Germany?

Re: Elvis & The Imposters, New Theatre, Oxford, June 16, 2022
I'd say there's a THIRD side to the audience: People who couldn't care less about the four or five "must-plays" that they've heard a hundred times but who also don't need to hear more than two or three new things. For that crowd, it's the album cuts from the (roughly) 1977-2002 output that...

Heatwave Festival (1980) now released!
Anyone who was at this 1980 show in Ontario (EC's only North American date of that year) knows what a gobsmackingly special gig it was. And now it's FINALLY available as an official release (at least it looks official)! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Heatwave-Festival-Elvis-Costello-Attractions/dp/B09YQSD...

Re: Charles Mingus Centennial Celebration, April 22 & 23, Lincoln Center, New York, NY
No video?
Weird: There's been no video posted on this site of the Hal Wilner performance, the Lincoln Center gala of a week or two ago, either. Anyone know why clips don't show up on this forum the way they used to?

Re: Summer Tour 2022 (US / Canada)
The situation with the NYC presale is a fucking shitshow. Ridiculous.
I paid $240 for a "Premium" ticket. Am I even getting a seat for that, or did I just shell out all that money for a better place to STAND?
I wish he were just playing Central Park, as he usually does.

Anyone know what the presale code is?
Also: Anyone been to Pier 17 in NYC? Is it a general-admission venue?

A bit late saying this, but it's no less true.
Jesus, I wish EC & Co. would shell out for a simple photograph of the band for an album cover. This artwork is ass!
