Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I went. Pretty much same set as other locations. EC was in fine focal form along with the Impostors but the acoustics (muddy) + viewing (limited sight lines) at the venue really suck. I almost didn't go because of those facts. Unfortunately the better sounding clubs (for example the 8X10) in Baltimo...

Enjoy!

Brilliant, speed-driven incisive songwriting - absolutely classic. But what's with the awful, tinny production??? That is one of the things I really love about it. I don't think the production is bad or tinny at all except the opening track, which, imo, is really hurt by that sound. I like the demo...

How about 'Home Is Anywhere You Hang Your Head' and 'Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)?

My fav too. That was a special time.

Saw AT last night with Marva Wright. What a show! I sat five feet from the Maestro. Highlight for me was 'Wrong Number' which AT wrote for Arron Neville. AT said that he doesn't normally do a 4 night stand like he did a BA. Said he would be back. Marva Wright was a very nice addition. She came up fr...

Both places are pretty much standing only with no assigned seating. I didn't think the sound quality at RH was very good last time EC played there minus SN. The 9:30 is ok but not the best either. The Warner Theater in DC would be best IMHO but he hasn't played there since late 1970s (see famous boo...

I am going to see AT with MW this Sunday at Blues Alley in Washington, DC.

Just back from seeing Allen at the Avalon Theater in Easton, Maryland. FANTASTIC show in a perfect setting! Allen mentioned that EC called him today to tell the DVD is all set so go out and buy them as Christmas gifts. Said EC is one Serious Cat to work with. Played 'Ascension Day' (san lyrics) duri...

This is always super. I made my pledge for the EC - AT DVD!

Stranger In The House with George Jones

[quoteTRIR hasn't hit me too hard because as someone else here said it's a bunch of covers, and anyone can do that. [/quote] Isn't AT on the album too? Just because AT only sings one song doesn't mean his mark isn't all over the record. Anybody that caught TRIR tour witnessed AT's impact on EC and t...

I caught it and thought it was fun. Some of the commercials were a riot. Would love to see one of the TRIR shows get this type of exposure though.

I am hoping they do something again. Wonder if they will release a live album? I actually think that could be better then the studio album.

TRIR's production and engineering are great (TDM and especially WIWC were not IMHO). Big props to JH. I also noticed the concert sound was great for the TRIR tour. I think this might have something to do with having AT around. Sure hope EC keeps these high sound standards moving forward. BTW TRIR is...

Wow! As it turns out, the tune was written by Naomi Neville (mom, sister? of the Nevilles, and The Meters) along with none other than Allen Toussaint)...

As we know Naomi Neville = Allen Toussaint

As I mentioned on the other thread I hope EC decides to record some of this tour. These songs shine even brighter in a live setting IMHO. BTW the sound and performances were super last evening at WT. But WT's geat acoustics might actually prove problematic (background noise) when taping from a crowd...

Hope EC decides to record some of the RIR tour. These tunes really shine in a live setting IMHO.

Best EC show I have ever seen (27 years). Just all around unbelievable! The Great AT has moved things to another level IMHO. Everyone has to get out and see this tour. I will leave the details (highlight after highlight) to others. One funny side note is EC didn't understand the boos when he mention...

The album is great and that is all that matters IMHO.

I really love the album. Always been a giant AT fan and knew he would come through. The production and engineering (sound) are top notch. JH deserves some major props for that. IMHO the last two albums didn't sound that great.

Looked like he got a shorter hair cut too.

I love this tune especially the ending.

I love Sneaky Feelings! It really swings.
