Yeah, luckily for me, there are a few dates in Spain on this tour. Corsica however is not one of them! Governed by France, Corsica is famed as the birthplace of Napoléon Bonaparte. First time he’s gigged there I think. Elvis that is, not Napoleon. Diana's website lists Corsica as Italy! Most intrigu...

Thanks Alex. That’s a great post. Refreshing to hear something positive . No need to apologise about not liking everything. I’ve been a fan since 78, own every record (although I gave away WIWC I agree it’s one of his weaker efforts but yes still some great songs. I could talk about 200 or more song...

Oh and instead of having to..

Why don't you change the record and put something on you actually enjoy..like ooh I don't know Jesse Winchester or Alex Chilton ?

Judging by the songs Elvis has been cranking out in concert since last year, it's looking like we're going to get: 'Five Small Words' Then again, when I posited potential songs for Momofuku, I guessed that 'Wine and Spirits' and 'Crooked Line' would be on there, and I was waaaaay off on those! Not ...

This is now billed as "with The Sugarcanes"

The imposter

Christopher, I fail to see or understand many of your points. Elvis is not an “old time musician” although he clearly has listened broadly and learned well from these people. EC does indeed share a deep respect for Jesse Winchester. Illustrated not just by his invitation on the show but by the fact ...

Dunno... All seems a bit sketchy to me. I have a wish list too :) Everyone seems to take it as read that he will be at Meltdown. I was hoping to see McCartney on spectacle too, as widely anticipated, but that didn't happen. Does Elvis still have a beef with Macca over "That Day is Done" ?

The imposter

So it is true..Only 1 Sugarcanes date in the UK. I thought it was a mistake or lack of info in the early tour dates announced. It seems strange as obviously Elvis will be in the country in the days before (playing solo) and just 2 days later the Sugarcanes play in Isreal, before returning to Europe....

Go to see them in Spain or Portugal. You won't regret it.

I thought I was browsing the Elvis Costello fan site until this page popped up. vocal excess and stage mannerisms flamboyant dignified experience … not sure Elvis has quite made the transition carnival barker…. I do not appreciate the 'spectacle' on "Spectacle". suit and tie… being a profe...

The imposter

I'm sure I read (possibly in EC's GCW sleeve notes) that Richard Thompson was called into the studio to work on that album, but not used. The inclusion of "Withered And Died" is a kind of acknowledgement to that...If there is anything It´s probably on the cutting room floor. There must be ...

Newspapers here today confirm the news..Dates, venues to be announced 15 April. Tickets on sale 19 April. Festival runs from 21-25. Typically in 3 or more different locations. Local paper also speculates that EC & Kris Kristofferson may "share the same stage" although whether that will...

2005 was Bilbao..Yow!

meant to say 2007. Forgive my over excitement!

:D :D :D What delight! Elvis returning to my doorstep..Guess he must have liked the San Sebastian food and hospitality. Seeing Elvis & Toussaint perform in that crowded plaza in 2005, is one of my fondest memories of EC performances. I was considering making a treck to the UK for 1 or 2 of the d...

Haven't seen any of the 2nd series yet with the exception of the Bono ep. :( Hopefully some torrents will appear now the series is finally airing on some networks. I don't know Jesse Winchester's catalogue. Where should I begin? I'm tempted to get his latest, the one with that song on it. Is that a ...

The imposter

Yep. it seems not many good soundboard recordings from that tour. OK 1979 Wish List: I've said it before but the best sounding show I've heard from 79 is Pink Pop, containing rare live version of "So Young". I think The Live "high Fidelity" on GH was pulled from this show , so th...

The imposter

I know the old saying if you don't like this one you may like the next. He's also often stated he's no interest in making the same album twice so I trust It won't be TDM 2, Almost Blue 2, SP & S 2, or anything else 2! While there's a lot to be said for recording an album in 3 days, and I like t...

VIGO has an airport. I think Ryanair might fly there John. La Coruña is another possibility.
It would be nice to meet up

The imposter

YES!!! Count me in! provided of course that ticket prices are "commensurate with the crisis" I couldn't find any more info on the above links but this report suggests that Diana is scheduled to perform first followed by Elvis, without discounting the possibility of a joint performance at s...

You’re a brave man trying to list these Bronx! The phrase can of worms springs to mind.. You got me thinking and..well you forgot these covers that have ALL been recorded with an Elvis vocal and so should be a shoe in for your list. April After All Broken Bicycles Junk Medley? Danger Zone He'll Have...

I think it's safe to say as collectors, we'll probably have most of what will be released with the quality being the wild card yeh, I'd Imagine that there will be a good quality soundboard recording from most gigs nowadays. but from those distant days? The series so far has offered us extended or i...

The imposter

Well that's a surprise! He certainly seems to be opening up to playing new places in recent times. Poland, Turkey, Greece, Singapore etc. I think he's happy to go anywhere there is an audience and a promoter who will put the money up. Fair play. I suppose this means he WILL also be playing in Europe...

see elvis costello's record collection´on this board for lots more additions. I´m workin on volume 42 now...
