If anyone has a link to the performance of Battered Old Bird, kindly share it here. Thanks! BOB was both unexpected & extraordinary. It’d be great to see/hear it again. I’m afraid people who might have captured it might have been put off by the start. Hope I’m wrong Maybe we can cajole a bonus ...

I assume there was a recognition of Burt B's passing? Details please.

Me too.

The super deluxe box will be "bargain bin priced" by June. The market for this is pretty small to begin with. I have to imagine that the universe of folks who will pay a $122 premium for 2 CDs is fairly microscopic.

Heck of a deal at $3.00 for anyone still needing this:

Really? A little further for me but prefer that venue. The Basie claim to EC history fame??? FIRST EVER SUGARCANES SHOW!!! http://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php/Concert_2009-06-09_Red_Bank Something weird is going on with that date. I got tickets for the Wellmont, but I did see that on the e...

As people are posting their happiness having acquired...I too willl chime in here one last time. Contentedly I have the opening and closing nights as well as the 20th in my internet hand ALL before the actual sale in three hours. Nice to see the pre sales work for all our benefit! The loge seat at ...

I grabbed a GA ticket on EC's presale for $65. Hopping on the train from Jersey shortly.

With all of the other Warners EC vinyl reissues of late, I have to assume reissues of Kojak and Useless Beauty are not far behind.

Just to clear up some confusion regarding the NYC show: Today's presale is through EC's official site (not Ticketmaster). There are various presales through ticketmaster starting tomorrow. Here is the link for today's presale: https://tour.elviscostello.com/#/liveevents/6054/Elvis-Costello-and-The-I...

I'm trying to avoid overblown statements while I am caught up in the initial excitement of this record. That said, I've had about seven full listens and it's only getting better. Early favorite track is the Difference. What a gift this record is!

Thanks for posting this Sweetest Punch. It seems I misremembered the song title as "Angry Waitress" rather than "Bad Waitress" and I also misremembered the reference to Grand Funk Railroad as Jethro Tull. Ah . . . the frailties of human memory. Feel free to change the title of th...

Out of curiosity, do we know how long ago this was that they got to know each backstage at the Radio City Music Hall? If it was relatively recent, is it possible Nicole will even record a version of the song? If it was ages ago, it's probably just a bit of a giggle/a funny story between the two of ...

Thanks for making this its own thread!

I saw Nicole Atkins perform last night and she shared an amusing EC anecdote. After mentioning how excited she was to appear on A Boy Named If, she talked about how she and EC got to know each other. They were both playing a tribute show at Radio City Music Hall and they got to chatting backstage. D...

The number of preorder bundles seems meager compared to the last couple. I suppose that could be because it's so early on. Might save me from myself buying some other bundle variation on top of another after a bit too much to drink. I would like something with the vinyl + cd + book, though. Like to...

No reports from those in attendance?

Nicole Atkins: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicole_Atkins EC raved about Nicole Atkins last year. http://www.elviscostellofans.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11689 8. Nicole Atkins – Italian Ice Over the years, my brother T Bone Burnett has introduced me to a great number of people I never ima...

Thanks. So it looks like the book is the size of a CD case (and comes with a CD inside) rather than an LP sized book that contains the vinyl inside.

Any sign of a link to purchase the edition with the hardcover book?

The article is now updated: Steve was false positive!! This means he will play at the second Port Chester show! https://www.showbiz411.com/2021/10/26/review-elvis-costello-whips-up-stunning-show-after-keyboardist-steve-nieve-tests-positive-for-covid Has that been verified? Hoping to see Steve tonig...

I'll be there tonight. It will be interesting to see how Elvis's voice is holding up by tomorrow night (his third show in three days).

Unfortunately I had to sell my ticket due to an unavoidable conflict (I had front row center!!). I'll be going to Night 1 in Port Chester instead.

Capitol Records on the label? What's that about?
