Elvis Costello Fan Forum

These are dream set lists, what can you say? Each night surprises and amazes in different ways. What an artist. The spare acoustic arrangement of Stella Hurt was fantastic. 9 songs from National Ransom have appeared so far, is that the most of any album? EC clearly loves that album and wants to give...

Another great show, albeit some weird things happening throughout. I personally loved the song selection as a big fan of The Delivery Man and National Ransom. The beat box versions of Bedlam, Night Rally and We Are All Cowards Now were killer. And Stations of the Cross on piano was great. New verses...

5 songs i've never seen live before!

Other Side of Summer
Blue Window
Shilling
Heathen
Journey

Hey Death...I wasn't there but pondered the same. I imagine the quietet DEPORTEE rather than the CLUB considering the solo setting. Yet, the night before he assuredly bangef out ANGRY in its full band version all alone. My simple solution was to check the wiki. They have it there under the DEPORTEE...

Wow, a lot of rarely played favourites of mine on that setlist. Last Boat Leaving! Battered Old Bird! My Little Blue Window! Dirty Rotten Shame! Any Kings Shilling! Heathen Town! Home Is Anywhere You Hang Your Head! Can anyone who was there confirm if the listing of that song as Deportees Club rath...

Hope you have luck finding those tickets!

"Meet hot Gramercy singles now!"

Someone should note he added the third Pathway verse to Miracle Man. You know seven men that want to be monkeys And six that never get denied And five that say they've done it all before And four that say they just get tired And three of the handsomest men in the country And two that can do it again...

No Dancing at the piano was amazing!

And Please Stay was a tear jerker at the end.

Great night, I can only imagine what's to come.

Although it wouldn’t be a straight fit it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s God Give Me Strength.

Definitely.

Actually my work thing Thursday got canceled so I can do Thursday. PM me.

EC looking smart in that suit. And Olivia, well... yeah.

The fact that EC and the Imps are there means they likely were already advised they had won.

Hi Folks, This is Simon Garfield, a writer in London. I’m coming over next week to see all of EC’s Gramercy shows for a story for British Esquire (someone’s gotta do it, etc). I’d love to meet up and chat to a few Forum members who are also going to all 10 (looking at you, Newspaper Pane and Bronxa...
