Re: Costello & Nieve: 15 songs from 50 years, Leeds (UK), Sept 2 & 3, 2024
So, I have to purchase 2 tickets if I want to hear all 30 songs over the course of one evening ?!? Er….ok. By way of contrast, I enjoyed The Stranglers play a 29 song set at the Nottingham Concert Hall last night including a welcome 30 minute interval. ALL tickets priced at £40.00, front rows to bac...

Re: Costello & Nieve September 2024 UK tour
Booked decent seats in the stalls in Wolverhampton Civic Hall pre-sale. I fainted last time I saw Elvis at this venue, on the Brutal Youth tour. Not because of his animal magnetism I hasten to add….but due to a bad dose of flu.

Spike 2LP REISSUE ON GREEN VINYL
https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/elv ... een-vinyl/
Spike is being reissued as a special limited edition 2LP green vinyl pressing in March 2022. Apparently, EC personally chose the colour! £35.00. Anyone tempted ?

Re: Elvis & the Imposters play City Hall, Sheffield, 7th March 2020.
40 years of watching Elvis and I’ve never shouted out for a request. Always deemed it disrespectful... but I’m tempted to holler for “ Blue Chair “ tonight... He did it 4 months ago, so he might play it for you. I'd wait after about 8 or 10 songs into the show. I too, have NEVER yelled for a reques...

Re: Elvis Costello General Discussion
Apologies to all. My first attempt at starting a new thread..and I fail miserably!! This Coronavirus panic is distracting me. Yes, I’ll be going. Really enjoyed the Nottingham gig on Monday but hoping for at least one choice cut from Blood & Chocolate on Saturday.

Re: ‘I Want You’ in movie ‘Only You’
Saw the film in Sheffield today with wife & two ( grown up ) kids. Thoroughly recommend it. “ I want you “ is deployed twice to very good effect and on the second occasion you get a decent view of the “ Blood & Chocolate “ LP. I almost let out a “whoop”.

Sadly, they won't be showing the programme in its original form. This is just a 30 minute show comprising of Melvyn Bragg's recollections and snippets from the original documentary.

I have been somewhat dilatory in finding time to plough through " Unfaithful Music " ( the book ) but have just read EC's account of the South Wales miners benefit at Logan Hall in London on 09/03/1985 ( page 165 hardback ) It was, without doubt , the most moving concert I have attended. T...
