Anyone have luck getting tix? I've been trying since 9:59 on and it just says "Presale Sold Out" which is just nuts as it didn't sell out that quickly. I've opened and closed the internet browser and still nothing. Oh well, just venting. Cheers all.

I'll be there and look forward to seeing everyone. Should be a great show.

Don't understand. Two of us are at our computers exactly at 3:00 and never does the opprotunity arise to purchase 2 seats at either $149 or $89 for the Wiltern show. After 5 minutes the systems says "Presale Sold Out". Why these silly games. I have to think only us hardcore fans are trying...

Absolutely, prayers and thoughts are with the family.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the McManus family.

I really enjoyed his version of Girl on the recent tour. It's just a fun little song. The great thing about Beatles songs is that the majority are short so he could easily fill an album with a lot of songs. Gotta love today's technology.

The two shows in L.A. started at 8:15 and ended around 10:50. Check your tickets from what time the doors open (our tickets had "7:00 p.m. DRS" but did not state a time the show was going to begin). Enjoy the show, you won't be disappointed.

I was hoping he would play Girls Talk a part of the Girl jackpot last night. Regardless, he and the band sounded great and the wheel was as good as ever.

I'll be there. Looking forward to the shows and seeing fellow EC fans as always.

I just want to echo what everyone else has said and that I am glad you are safe.

Regards,

Same thing happened to me for the L.A. show. Keep trying as tickets come up after people fail to buy them in the 6 minutes they are alloted. I still was not able to get price level 1 tickets, but did ok. It's an odd system, but after 10 mintues or so I was able to get tickets. Good luck.

Bronx,

Try again. I just put in info for the Chicago show and it offered me Row MM. I'm not in the area and can't get there but wanted you to know so you can try again. Good luck.

Elvis was not a part of this performance honoring, among other, Sir Paul.

Wishing everyone on this tremendous board a healthy and happy 2011.

Cheers!

While Elivs is not specifically nominated, there is this: Song written for motion picture, television or other visual media "Down in New Orleans" (From "The Princess and the Frog"), Randy Newman, songwriter (Dr. John) "I See You" (From "Avatar"), Simon Frangle...

Just saw this announcement: Lin Brehmer & Mary Dixon just announced the 2010 XRT/Bud Light BIG Holiday Concert starring Elvis Costello performing an expansive never-to-be-duplicated, once-in-a-lifetime one man show at the beautiful Chicago Theatre on December 20 with special guest Alejandro Esco...

Not looking good for a Season 3 http://wxrt.radio.com/2010/11/11/will-e ... -building/

I hope he continues the show as I really enjoy hearing the guests discuss their musical influences.

Cheers.

Seeing Pete and his daughter, Tennessee, on stage playing together at the El Rey during the "surprise" midnight show after Elvis opened for The Police at the Hollywood Bowl earlier in the evening. Watching Pete and Tennessee play together and seeing how in synch they were was just beautifu...

I'm with you, Sulky. I haven't heard one way or another. I was hoping that perhaps if we signed up to the old fan club that folded and let them keep our $ that perhaps they would throw us a bone (or at least a 78).

Oh well. Take care everyone.

Cheers.

The Los Angeles Times is also reporting the release of 4 songs on 78 rpm. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2010/09/elvis-costello-78-rpm-national-ransom.html Elvis Costello’s forthcoming album, “National Ransom,” mines a century’s worth of pop music history in both the characters, scenario...

Love the new site. Lots of fun. Such a vast improvement.

Cheers.

I have marked the ones that I know for certain were played and definitely not played. The others I just don't recall. Does anyone knows one way or the other whether these songs were played? Either Side Of The Same Town (yes) Down Among The Wines And Spirits (yes) Brilliant Mistake (yes) Bullets For ...

Elvis also mentioned at this show (as well as the one in San Diego) that the dog ended up on the cover of Life Magazine which was more than he could say for the dog's owner whose name escapes me.

Hope that helps.

Hope someone can use this as a guide for what was actually played. This was truly a wonderful show.

Cheers.
