Re: Elvis & Imposters, Melbourne (AU), April 17, 2014
Hi all, I guess this is my belated cheer of rejoicing as a Melbournite! I had moved on from the early disappointment on the initial tour announcements with no Melbourne Show and given that it was only 12m since I had last seen our man, decided against traveling interstate to see him this time. But n...

Re: Your LEAST favorite Elvis song and why
Go Away is on my good list too. I tend to agree with most of the postings of least favourite. It is a bit scary to see them all listed together and nearly gets me thinkin what do I see in this guy....? For some reason The Monkey really grates on me. I kinda like Monkey To Man, but 6 minute live vers...

Re: Palais Theatere, Melbourne, Thu 21 Apr 2011
One thing I found out in 2009 is that it is easier to get good seats in a small place like Hobart. With equal effort (without paying scalpers) I got row 10 Melbourne, row 6 Sydney and row 3 Hobart. Hey, turns out EC did make an appearance at Bob Dylan in Melbourne last night. I spotted him at the mi...

Re: Palais Theatere, Melbourne, Thu 21 Apr 2011
Hi John, I'll be there. I went to 3 shows last time round - Melbourne, Hobart and Sydney and loved every minute (I even snuck into the sound check in Hobart). My financial advisor (wife) insists that I stick to one show this time, especially since I am going to see Mr Dylan the night before. My drea...

Re: Elvis plays Hobart, Oct 11 '09
Hi John E. I am just back from a few days in Sydney. Sorry, got your message too late. I was in F1-2. As always, I enjoyed the 3 shows I saw. Funny though most of the songs were well down the list of ones I would most like to hear, but still loved them. I have been a fan since 78 and often find that...

Re: Elvis plays Hobart, Oct 11 '09
Hey John, I was in 2nd row in Hobart. I think your "Elvis call" in Sulphur was well done and fired up the gig a little. There was a guy in the first row who paraded in front of the stage several times (while EC was in mid-song) as he presumably went for a piss - I found that to be poor for...

How do you explain EC to people who have no idea?
Hi everyone, I just had a beer or 2 (well, maybe 3) with a friend and the topic of EC came up (well, I brought it up). I told him how much I was looking forward to EC's Australian tour. Then came the questions I have heard so often.......Who is Elvis Costello? What does he sing? I usually start my r...

Re: elvis's lines that you like\dislike the most.
So many "liked" lyrics to choose from, so little time to sort through them. but one for now: As I walk on through this wicked world, Searching for light in the darkness of insanity, One line I never quite got used to, in an otherwise great song: when the switch broke 'cause it's old (?!) s...

Re: EC to Tour Australia in October
Hi Tim(e). I have Enmore Row F seats 1&2. I got a bit worried when I checked the seating plan after purchase. It looks like a whole section of gen. adm. standing bodies in front of seated section, but I am hopeful this plan does not apply for EC? I am in Vic & still trying for good seats for...

Re: which elvis costello album do you recommend?
if its not a silly question, if you "don't like any of the songs on "my aim is true", "this year's model", or "blood & chocolate"" why have you "heard these albums many many times"??! anyway, my money is on Almost Blue as the best by far and I've...
