My daughter and I sat in the first row of the loge at Fox Theater in Oakland on November 14th. Fantastic seats -- but all told, with service charges, etc. -- the price came out to $175 per ticket. Crazy.
Nonetheless -- it wasn't exactly a difficult decision.

Re: New compilation / package, based on Painted From Memory, 2022
So -- a Painted from Memory expanded edition would have to include the Royal Festival Hall show from '98, wouldn't it? It's a great recording, and a wonderful performance. http://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php/Concert_1998-10-29_London Especially the complete audience recording! :wink: :wink...

OK. Now we're talking.

Just listened to Seven Day Weekend a couple of days ago. It's actually quite good. Now Honey Are You Straight is another story. I doubt that I'll ever come around to it.

Re: Hello Again 2021 tour overview
It wouldn't surprise me if they're under parameters set by whoever is carrying the tour insurance. It's a big deal right now. It's difficult, and expensive, to get somebody to underwrite a tour.

Re: Why have I not been listening to Elvis?
< ... Today I started with the Hip-O version of 'My Aim Is True'. The Nashville Rooms concert is a tremendous document. (Not to mention the soundcheck.) It's an official live release like no other. They're not quite manically frenzied yet. I really enjoy the more-measured approach as a contrast to ...

Re: Do you have a favorite EC concert?
I don't disagree. I will say, however, that the songs themselves were gracefully liberated from the unfortunate clutches of Goodbye Cruel World in one fell swoop. Having seen three solo shows in April/May '84, I was fairly bemused upon release of the new album. I played along -- it was well above mo...
