walked in alongside Tom Colicchio and another guy I recognized from Top Chef but couldn't place his name

Turns out it was Alfred Portale. We can all sleep better knowing this.

I can't tell if this has aired already or part of the new season.

Another amazing performance of the much maligned title song. It's so much better live!

When do we see the entire show? "Spring 2011"?

Agree. To my ears at least the album version sounds muddy. Here you can here all the little subtleties and I like it a lot more.

The studio version sounds awful. A rare fail by T Bone.

Anyway for us non-US residents to watch it?

I'll put it on YouTube. It might work for you.

...I kind of miss Steve, though. He gives the song a bit of vintage Attractions flava...

Cheers - wonderful- to these cloth ears the songs sound best live.

Loved the guys filling in behind the whistling on Josephine.

Also the Library looked amazing too!

Thanks Doc! National Ransom, the song, plays so much better live.

I noticed that too. Very quirky little fiddle and accordion fill-ins there. The more I listen, the more I appreciate the high level of musicianship in the 'Canes which often goes unnoticed or at least unappreciated. Coupled with Pete's stellar drumming and of course Steve's genius keyboard noodling, this is indeed a "Supergroup".

PBS Music Series Begins 3rd Season April 1

Robert Plant, Ray LaMontagne, Grace Potter To Follow Costello This Season

February 22, 2011

NEW YORK -- PBS opens the third season of "Live From the Artists Den" on April 1 with an Elvis Costello concert in a venue most associated with quiet.

Costello and his band, the Sugarcanes, perform at the New York Public Library in Manhattan.

[Three4Laughter]

Hey guys, looks like that NYPL concert is airing this week. From the shows facebook:

Today kicks off ELVIS COSTELLO WEEK at the Artists Den! Every day this week we’ll be sharing goodies from Elvis’s episode of “Live from the Artists Den” – premiering on public television this Friday! Be sure to check back every day for exclusive content and free downloads.

I wonder what songs they're going to put on the episode. The set list they put up seems longer than they can probably fit in an episode??

Where are you seeing the setlist? I'm totally missing it somehow.

[Three4Laughter]

Wardo posted it earlier in the thread:

"Bullets For The New-Born King (solo, the rest with Sugarcanes)
I Lost You
Blame It On Cain (!!!)
Dr. Watson, I Presume
Poor Borrowed Dress
A Condemned Man
One Bell Ringing
A Slow Drag With Josephine
Jimmie Standing In The Rain
The Spell That You Cast
That's Not The Part Of Him You're Leaving
National Ransom
(most likely the official end of the show, but they stayed on stage for the first "encore")
Stations Of The Cross
Sulfur To Sugarcane
(2nd encore)
Leave My Kitten Alone
All These Strangers"

I really hope they have Blame It On Cain and Poor Borrowed Dress :

[seanpointblank]

Whoops! Thanks. I assumed you were referring to something on the page. Hopefully we get most of it, or they put out anything they don't air online.

[Jeremy Dylan]

BLAME IT ON CAIN is up on the Facebook page and it rocks.

[Three4Laughter]

Awesome! Yeah I saw that after my first post

[sweetest punch]

Anyone seen it?

[docinwestchester]

Anyone seen it?

I Tivo'd it while rockin' out with EC last night. I'll put the clips on YouTube later.

[FAVEHOUR]

Doc, is it in HD? If so, please consider putting it all on dime. My PBS station isn't even showing it till the 10th, and it's standard def. So far. Hoping one of my other PBS stations runs it properly.
