Re: Rare Audience Recordings(?)
Thanks, Benny! That's good to know, since my tape of this one sounds pretty poor, and only runs 90 minutes. I doubt it's from the same source. I'm excited about the Burlington show, though; it's a nice clear recording. Last night I put the setlist up on wikipedia and even found the earliest known pe...

Rare Audience Recordings(?)
Over the years I've acquired a few audience tapes that seem not to have gained wide distribution. In one case, 4/28/87 in Georgetown, I got the tape from a casual fan who recorded the show himself. I think I have the only other copy, and I'm the one who wrote "an audience tape exists" on t...

Lyrics open to interpretation...
Consider the song "New Lace Sleeves", when Elvis sings "...socialite sisters with their Continental fingers that have never seen working blisters / Oh I know they've got their problems / I wish I was one of them". Everybody I ask assumes that "one of them" refers to the...

Elvis at Hubert Sumlin Show, February 2006
Elvis Costello was indeed a special guest at Hubert Sumlin's show on February 25. Other performers included Levon Helm and David Johansen. Elvis arrived at B.B. King's Blues Bar & Grill just before the show began, and sat down with friends. About midway through the two-hour set, he was called to...

Elvis interviewed by Bill Flanagan at 92nd St. Y
Elvis Costello & Bill Flanagan at the Sol Goldman Theater 28 September 2005 Moving to New York City a few years ago has been very good for my Elvis Costello obsession, because I’ve been able to see him play numerous times, and, because he lives nearby, I have even seen him on the streets and in ...

Paul McCartney in New York?
Seeing that Paul McCartney was scheduled to perform at Avery Fisher Hall on April 21, the night before Elvis played the Beacon, I couldn't help but wonder if the two would meet up. Does anybody know if McCartney was still in town the next day, or maybe even at the Beacon Theatre? He certainly should...

More Minutae
Hi, I definately remember "Dust" from the Baltimore show. "Needle Time" is omitted from the on-line set-lists I've seen, but he performed it in the midst of other Delivery Man songs -- I think after the title track. Some more minutae from the Baltimore show: Elvis referred to a l...

Baltimore Show
Some more minutae from the Baltimore show: Elvis referred to a lyric sheet for "Pads Paws & Claws" (which I snagged after the show); David Hidalgo provided accordian for "American Without Tears" and viola on "Scarlet Tide"; they covered the Grateful Dead song "...

Hear Otherwise Unavailable Pete Thomas Track!
Hear Some Otherwise Unavailable Drumming by Pete Thomas! Matt Brown was the frontman for Atlanta bands Uncle Green and 3 lb. Thrill in the 80’s and 90’s. Though these bands were signed to Atlantic and Epic, respectively, their commercial impact was negligible aside from a minor college-rock hit with...
