Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Thanks again! FYI: In case anyone doesn't know, Amazon.com has Singles 1 & 3 for $63.99. Yikes!

Good to know, but I was afraid of that. Are those box sets limited editions or will they be around for a while?

Thanks!

Any particular "must have" titles any of you guys can recommend? I'm not a huge collector anymore, but I get one whenever I find a quality recording at a decent price. I just don't know what to look for and I don't want to get ripped off. I'd like to find something as good as my Brutal You...

Four shirts in Boca as I recall: 1. Blue T with white North logo/design (as on the CD label). 2. Red baby doll T with North logo/design. 3. Heather gray T with Elvis headshot. 4. Black tour T with North album cover photo on front and tour dates on back. I got the blue one. They were also selling &qu...

You'll be fine. It's Elvis Costello, not Iggy Pop or John Lydon!

spooky girlfriend, If the posted set lists are any indication, he should do at least one, if not two songs from KOA. Little Palaces, Brilliant Mistake, Suit of Lights, Jack of all Parades, Sleep of the Just are all classics, but my favorite track is Indoor Fireworks. I never hear it mentioned much. ...

OMG! King Of America is one of his absolute best albums ever. Definitely one of my top 5. It's just about flawless. The writing, the production, the band, the performance, the packaging.... Give it a chance and try reading the lyrics while listening to it. That's what did it for me. I think it's one...

Catch his spit when he sings, huh? Yeah, no ... I'll pass, thank you very much. But hey, knock yourself out!

As to whether EC should be playing more songs off North since it's the North Tour ... I don't know that I completely agree with that. Three songs were plenty enough for me. It is a beautiful album, but a bit much to take all at once, at least for me. EC is pretty savvy and knows what his audience is...

Yes, very jealous about that. Besides the set list, please let us know what he rants about.

Thanks ... and have enjoy!

I left a song off my list! "Shot With His Own Gun," one I was particularly looking forward to, should be added before "Green Shirt" I believe.

Thanks for all the nice posts. I feel so welcome ....

Of course he'd opt for the original ... should have figured as much. Thanks for the info on that and Howard Tate. I'll have to track that down.

Ta!

I know Mario already posted the list, but it's missing just a couple of songs, so if you please, I now take you to The Mouth Of The Rat: Elvis Costello & Steve Nieve Mizner Park, Boca Raton, FL February 21, 2004 Accidents Will Happen 45 Everyday I Write The Book (The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Sh...
