Cool thanks! Some of my highlights from that show were I Still Have That Other Girl/I'm in the Mood Again, Watch Your Step/Secondary Modern, and Stations of the Cross.

I'll be there!!! First show since United Palace last year, can't wait!

Thanks for ruining the song for me dude, lol. But seriously, that seems pretty absurd, and the lyrics don't really support that interpretation.

I like Spike for its dazzling eclecticism, its rich sounds, cleverly crafted songs and great performances. But, "Baby Plays Around" aside, it feels kind of cold and disconnected; I feel like it lacks a heart, a strong emotional core. It's near the bottom of my list of favorite EC albums. A...

[quote="Man out of Time"]The song where I think the contrast is greatest is "Couldn't Call It Unexpected # 4"

This. The live Elvis/Keyboard version on the MLAR bonus disk is gorgeous.

My fiance just got me 3rd row tickets for the Hard Rock show in Fla this April! Love that girl! I couldn't have waited until he gets back to NY, which probably won't be until July or August (if then).

Ray Davies - Mr. Feathers.

I always thought that song had a Kinkish vibe to it.

Whaaa? Go Away rocks.

Yeah, The Stamping Ground is pretty weak!! Good choice.

It's a tie between "A Town Called Big Nothing (Really Big Nothing)" and "Return to Big Nothing"

Also, while I don't "hate" Tokyo Storm Warning, I find it very annoying for some reason.

That was pretty cool, thanks

I happen to like this song a whole lot. Love the wordplay and lyrics, just an enjoyable listen.

The hat went for about $1600 bucks, yikes. I was out at $900.

I think I remember reading somewhere that she wrote the intro. Could be wrong.

I think Cait wrote that into to I Want You, so we won't be hearing it gain from EC any time soon! Same with Baby Plays Around, don't hold your breath for that one.

The possibilities for future EC appearances on Sesame Street are endless:

"I Want Juice"
"Naptime is Over"
"Battered Old Big Bird"
"(I Don't Wanna Go To) Bed"

Etc.

I'd ask him to play Party, Party, then I would duck!

I also love the Delivery Man, both the song and the album. Granted, it is a "mood" song, so he needs to pick his spots for it. If I had to pick one to be retired, I guess I would pick Pump It Up. He really doesn't even seem to enjoy playing it anymore. I did love the 6/8 version though, tr...

Just watched the YouTube recordings of this show start to finish, fantastic, thanks Doc.

Anyway else notice the snippet of Passionate Fight at the very end of I Still Have That Other Girl?

"Suit of Lights" was my request. I was in front row and yelled it out at the top of my lungs, and a few seconds later EC started playing it!

My biggest regret is never seeing one of the Costello/Nieve shows. Got a little taste with the "Joanna" wheel category, but would love to have seen a whole Costello/Nieve concert! Maybe they'll tour again some day.

My first EC concert was '82, so I missed them the first time!

I was pleasantly shocked when he played it (along with Big Tears and Lovers Walk) at Nokia Theater in NYC in 2007.
