BA let me know if you still want the Wise Up Thought cd. I can meet you tomorrow or Friday.

Slightly off topic, but has She Might Be a Grenade ever been played live, anywhere? I think it's now the only song without an airing (not counting bonus track Can You Hear Me).

Yup, I agree. Tripwire is an instant classic. It appears that WUG is dividing fans. Say what you want about it. But I'm always glad to hear new music from El as well as the fact that he's still willing to take some chances. Whether you like what he's doing or whether it succeeds or not is up to the...

Whatever the lyrics, this was a kick-ass version that made me think completely differently about the song!

Even the actual album doesn't get played by me anymore. Struggled through about 5 or 6 spins. Behind the sparkling production lies some of the laziest songwriting in Costello's career.

Prince, is that you? What's your beef with Elvis? lol

Ok, sounds good!

Dismssing the instrumental snippets, of the four proper songs only Cincos seems to have deleted some of EC's vocals in favor of Black Thought, I think.

I guess my expectations on this weren't too high because I enjoyed the EP. Love Tripwire and Walk Us, and the rap version of Cinco is interesting. The only thing that doesn't work is Meantimes, which seemed to lose both rhythm and melody. And the snippet interludes are a waste of time. Overall I'm g...

Just picked up a copy at Tunes in Hoboken NJ. They have about 6 or 7 copies out on display. Didn't look they they had sold many (or any). There are actually only 4 full songs on this, the other three are snippets/interludes. First impressions are I like Cinco Minutos with Black Thought, and Tripwir...

I got about 90 in five shows.

WOW... Just Wow. Unbelievable show!!! "Unexpected" was beautiful, and so many other gems. King of Confidence?? Harpie's?? Really???

Good to see Doc and BA at the show again.

Good show, although Elvis seemed off at times and didn't seem too pleased with the lame crowd ("play Pump It Up!"). But Come the Meantimes, Mistress and Maid, The Comedians, and For the Stars (my request)!!! :D :D :D Pleasure meeting and having a brief chat with Little Fool from the UK!!

ME!!!!!!

I am, and also the 27th!!

Set list pics:

I seem to be alone in really enjoying the pure, bare-bones funk of "Grenade". I do agree that the lesser of the re-works is SOYT, only because the original is such a classic.

Overall though, WUG is unbelievable, gets better and better with each listening (and there have been many).

I got a setlist from the sound board guy right after the show ended and it is pretty interesting. Several songs on the list that were not played, including: Suffering Face Radio Sweetheart Still Too Soon to Know Different Finger (I suspect he was about to play this song when there were technical dif...

So here's my story from the show: My fiance got me tix for the Hardrock show for Christmas and we flew down to Fla. from NYC Wednesday morning. Seats were 3rd row right, and my fiance made a hat with a replica wheel on it. I saw Katerina siting on the side next to our row during the first few songs ...
