Re: Elvis and the Sugarcanes, Massey Hall, Toronto, 28 Aug 2009

Thank you for posting that link, Scielle! I wish they would give us all of the show, or at least more of it. It's an excellent recording and a great performance! Even the songs that I didn't pay as much attention to, like PLU, sound great here. They really caught the band. Hopefully this will be tap...

Re: Elvis 'n' me and the DVD

Hi Wardo

Sad to say, where I left off in Beyond Belief was as far as I got. I always wrote them for the next issue and never got ahead of that pace.

Elvis 'n' me and the DVD

Some of you who attended shows on the second leg of the Sugarcanes tour (from Oregon forward), or heard recordings of them, may have heard Elvis relate that someone gave him a DVD that showed him performing a verse of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" with the Carter Family. Well, I thought I'...

He's been praising U2 for quite a while. I think he waited in line at the record store in London to buy the Joshua Tree CD at midnight. He goes to their concerts, etc.

Re: Elvis and The Sugarcanes, Kettering, OH, 27 Aug 2009

Yes, it was a bit of a concertus interruptus in Kettering. The set and the feel of the show has changed a bit since the shows I saw in June. There's more of a rock and roll feel to it and less of the ballads. I noticed beforehand that he had dropped "I Felt the Chill" and "Our Little ...

Re: "The Worst of Elvis Costello"

Agree with you completely about God's Comic as a live song. On the record, it's actually a great track, cool bass playing and horns. I saw him do it at a soundcheck at the start of the 1987 Confederates tour, solo, when it was previously unperformed, and it sent chills down my spine (partly because ...

UM, actually it appears he's dropped out of the top 100 in this fifth week. Don't know where the record is in the next 100. Still, four weeks in the top 50 was pretty impressive!

It was with the band. Someone has posted most of the show in clips on You Tube, unfortunately they were very far away.

Isn't this the first time he's played RS with the Imposters?

Third week on the Album chart, still at number 33!! I am amazed at the fact that he has stayed up there in the top 40 albums for three weeks. I know the chart ain't what it used to be, but still!
