Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I’m definitely interested in this. I did feel slightly underwhelmed by the UK tour, as others have said. I enjoyed it but it never really fired me up. Maybe I was hoping for too much. I’ve had a pretty bad couple of years starting from receiving the email on the morning of the show to say Oxford wa...

...and the hustle continues....

Interesting topic. I can't imagine going to 11 or 12 straight shows by anyone and being able to feel a sense of "wow." For me, it's a bigger phenomenon. EC, and we, are much, much older than when we started on this journey. We're all very lucky that our fave artist is still alive, vital an...

Anyone understand why there's not one, but TWO shows in Antwerp of all places? This on a tour where he's snubbing, among others, Berlin, the cultural capital (also the actual capital) of Germany?

I'd say there's a THIRD side to the audience: People who couldn't care less about the four or five "must-plays" that they've heard a hundred times but who also don't need to hear more than two or three new things. For that crowd, it's the album cuts from the (roughly) 1977-2002 output that...

Man, that set list is not killing me. I hope it evolves considerably by the time they get to NYC.

Anyone who was at this 1980 show in Ontario (EC's only North American date of that year) knows what a gobsmackingly special gig it was. And now it's FINALLY available as an official release (at least it looks official)! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Heatwave-Festival-Elvis-Costello-Attractions/dp/B09YQSD...

Video??????

No video?

Weird: There's been no video posted on this site of the Hal Wilner performance, the Lincoln Center gala of a week or two ago, either. Anyone know why clips don't show up on this forum the way they used to?

Planning a transatlantic move and, much as it breaks my heart, I think I'll be liquidating my EC collectibles. I haven't yet had time to photograph the stuff, but I will. For now, I'll just say that I'm selling... EC ALBUMS ON CASSETTE --Everything up to Blood & Chocolate, including the Italian ...

Is there video of this event (for those of us not on "the gram")?

"Our excited early talk of it being his best LP might have been slightly hyperbolic, but not by much "


You people are out of your gourds! It's a good record, I really like it, but c'mon now....

the Central Park Summerstage set up where all the seats were in the back and the GA was in front, going up to the stage.


As it should be!

The situation with the NYC presale is a fucking shitshow. Ridiculous.

I paid $240 for a "Premium" ticket. Am I even getting a seat for that, or did I just shell out all that money for a better place to STAND?

I wish he were just playing Central Park, as he usually does.

Whether seated or not, I just scored a Premium tic for NYC show

Confusing: I've seen NYC presale listed as today in some places, tomorrow in others

Anyone know what the presale code is?

Also: Anyone been to Pier 17 in NYC? Is it a general-admission venue?

A bit late saying this, but it's no less true.

Jesus, I wish EC & Co. would shell out for a simple photograph of the band for an album cover. This artwork is ass!

What I'd REALLY like to hear is TYM (remastered or not) without any vocals. I wonder if that's around somewhere....

This f---ing guy says he did the book because after his Queen and Pink Floyd books he was "looking for who I'd write about next," THEN goes on to say that he got interested in EC after hearing When I Was Cruel.(!) He heard This Year's Model for the first time in 2002. I stopped listening a...

Could it be that this tour won't feature backup singers? Fingers crossed!

When EC played Brooklyn Steel a couple years ago, I thought that was fantastic and I hoped it would become a regular stop. Alas. no offense..obviously, now, the regular stop is PORT CHESTER!!! hope it is close enough for you to enjoy the ride Speaking of Brooklyn...how is it that he's never played ...

Once again...."New York City" shows that aren't in New York City. WTF? I'm glad...that Beacon Theatre has really become corporate venue dreck! I'll take these other three trips happily if I'm in the mood for several shows. I hear you, as regards the Beacon. But it's simply not plausible t...
