Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Don't take this the wrong way, but I wrote the piece below about the Brighton gig in another forum; I thought the gig lacked intensity and commitment. The spinning wheel really doesn't work for me for a number of reasons, it takes focus away and the show doesn't build. And the venue really didn't h...

I didn't get to record it because it wasn't on my red button ( :evil: Sky ! !) but watched it online and it was superb ! I think it was the perfect choice of songs for the occasion with loads of hits, along with interesting songs like "Jimmy...". I thought he got a really good response fro...

Live stream on computer is great !.....................makes up for the fact that I can't get it on the red button on TV..........it's only showing bl***y tennis ! ! !

You can record the red button shows. I know because I tested it last night! Just one question VG............Are you on Sky or Virgin coz according to the website you get more options on the red button if you're on Virgin, and I wondered if it might also affect the recording possibility seeing as I'...

Brilliant ! Thanks VG !
Also thanks to UB and sp for the info.

Right here's a conundrum. Where if anywhere can we see Elvis's full set today? ( .............and don't anyone say drive to Glastonbury ! :wink: ) The problem is that the show on BBC2 finishes at 6 and his set is supposed to go on til 6.30. I'm sure the highlights programme tonight will not feature ...

As the Spinning Wheel goes of the road for a bit , it's time to look at the statistics The album scorecard http://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php/Template:TRT_album_scorecard The 238 songs played http://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php/Template:TRT_stats_box The setlists and dates http:/...

Thank you Simon Cowell !

I know, I even have the same hair cut and high-waisted trousers. I'm thinking about the Botox, too.

We all know our Elv writes some astounding ballads. But I've noticed that when he sings them live without his guitar, he needs a bit of training in how to present himself. When using a free mic, he wanders around all over the stage, often with his back to the audience, with no apparent rhyme nor re...

I had just finished a long in depth report of last night when my computer crashed and I lost it ! :evil: So here is my quick slightly briefer version : What a great night ! Firstly it was great to meet up with Mr and Mrs Fishfinger king in the pub beforehand where we had a good chat about previous E...

Plenty of choice as the Marlowe is in the middle of the town. The Dolphin is good with a decent garden if the suns out, CT1 2AA. About 3 mins walk from the theatre. That seems ideal . So that makes 3 of us. Anyone else ? Hope to see you Blimey, that's 5 of us...........nearly a crowd ! :lol: Do we ...

Ok, nice one.
Where's a good place? Is there a pub nearby? Anyone "in the know"?

Sounds great ! Can't wait !
Anyone fancy a "meet up" before ?

Nothing to be embarrassed about. Small theatre, last night of the tour - who knows what will happen. Paddy should spin the wheel though. The proposition starts here! Perhaps like last year the last night will be Saturday night and then Sunday will be postponed. There will then be a rescheduled date...

It was !

Jolly Boys outing !

Can anyone who knows the venue confirm please that the nearest railway station is Westcliff on Sea, not either of the Southend stations? I would like to avoid a long walk, as I'm also in the "standing" section. Ta MOOT Westcliff on Sea is definitely the best one to get off. 8) ( Saaarfend...

Phew ! For all those still waiting, don't panic coz my tickets have finally turned up today, so yours should be on the way !
Roll on next week..............can't wait !

I contacted See Tickets today by e-mail and they have come back saying the tickets would leave today by recorded delivery. Hopefully the same for everyone still waiting !

Still no b****y tickets !
Anyone else still waiting for theirs ?

Me too !

Mine still not here !

I see you've got your tickets already Paul B.
Mine haven't arrived yet, and they were ordered months ago when the dates came out.
Am I the only one still waiting for tickets for Southend ?
