Elvis Costello Fan Forum

A great show. Elvis' voice was incredibly strong and he seemed to be in a great mood. I have the setlist from the soundboard (I didn't keep a separate one of what was actually played, but hopefully someone else did) and will post later, but the entire evening was tremendous. He played about 70 minut...

I'll be there.

Does anyone have an extra ticket for the San Diego show? I'm happy to pay, but need one ticket as I really don't want to drive 2+ hours without a ticket. Please PM me or post a reply.

Thanks.

We were having a discussion at work in which the following question came up:
In which states has Elvis played a concert?

I realize we can do a list where everyone adds on state(s) where they have seen him, but is there a specific list anywhere that someone can post?

Thanks all.

Anyone have an extra ticket they want to sell for this show. I'm going solo and need a good seat. Please send a PM if you have an extra ticket.

Thank you.

Wow, and all these years I thought it was Elvis trying to be sneaky. Kind of like when he (and many others) placed comments at then end of an actual vinyl lp. (Forgive me, I forgot the technical term for the space where an album's grooves end and the label begins.)

Cheers.

This auction benefits the City of Hope which is a truly outstanding organization here in Southern California. They took amazing care of a dear friend who lost his life a few years ago and the care provided by City of Hope was just tremendous. I saw this on ebay and thought I'd pass it on to my fello...

Is it me or does it look like Steven Tyler is reading the lyrics for Walk This Way. I know he has many songs to remember, but isn't this kind of a gimmie for him? Seriously, it would be like Elvis forgetting the words to Pump it Up. Some songs by some artists are automatic. Makes you wonder about St...

Just an amazing show. It seems the man is able to add or change a song and each version is so unique and creative you forget the original recorded version. This was clearly the case of Everyday I Write The Book and his performance of it last night. Lucinda was terrific (too bad a lot of folks got th...

I'll be there. Looking forward to hearing more from SP&S than what he did at Amoeba and Rancho Mirage. Also looking forward to seeing Lucinda again.

Heard Beyond Belief on the sound system background music at Nordstroms department store this past Saturday, July 25.

It's worth a listen to. I bought it years ago and at the time was fairly impressed with it. It's not going to win any awards for originality, but it's worth a try.

Cheers.

I don't know if it qualifies as a ballad, but I would have to add "I Want You" to the list of candidates.

Great time and great stories. Spoke with Elvis, Tennesse Thomas and Steve (not together) and really enjoyed the show.

He's a shot from the first encore.

I too was there and this was a great set. I think everyone there had a great time. Elvis and the guys sounded great and really seemed to be enjoying themselves. Elvis was very cordial signing memorabilia although there wasn't time to really chat as the line for autographs was lengthy to say the leas...

weird.

Not sure what you're looking at but http://www.elviscostello.com is working fine now.

Good luck.

This is an email from a relatively new local radio station The Sounds 100.3 here in L.A. This is not the password from the elviscostello.com site, but it is a presale option. I just checked and they have section B row S available. Good luck. As you know, I'm a man of few words on the radio. I'll ma...

The official website has been redesigned and you can hear the new album SP&S (or at least some of the songs) just by going to it.

The new design is interesting and plays off SP&S in terms of the images.

Take a look, it's interesting.

Cheers all.

I checked out the link and I believe the correct date for Winnipeg is July 8, 2009. I got concerned as I saw that he will be in Rancho Mirrage, CA on the 10th of July and was afraid he was going to blow off his desert date.

Cheers.

Yes, thank you very much. I had a friend pick my up the 45 from Reckless Records earlier today. I'm here in L.A. and keep striking out when I call the few local joints where I usually buy my vinyl.

I'm very excited to hear the new stuff as I haven't downloaded any of it.

Thanks again Mr. Foyle.

CWR, If it makes you feel better to have company, I too shelled out $35. The kick for me is that I can see myself in the two El Rey videos from this summer but I can't download them. That entire show was videotaped and afterward I asked who the tape was for. The response by the camera guy was that i...

There are many articles about Record Store Day, but I see that Elvis will have his new 7" single available at selected indie records stores http://music.pwblogs.com/2009/04/17/record-store-day-is-tomorrow/ . Slightly related, Springsteen is also having a 7" single on sale for RSD and, aft...
