Pardon the intrusion - some may already be heading to Reykjavik for Elvis - but I have a pair of Row 7 floor seats in Row 7 for the three Wilco shows at Harpa Concert Hall April 6, 7, 8, and I am looking to sell them for face value OBO. Transferring online via the Harpa box office is very easy. (I'v...

Great meeting you too Charles (along with the others throughout the fortnight). It was an awesome ride!

(If the mod thinks this is inappropriate for the board, I understand. But seeing that Face in the Crowd is important to Elvis - and so much of the music was played at Gramercy - I thought this was relevant to share).

** Just noticed that Scarlet Tide is on the list for tonight's 2/11/23 show.
What do we make of that?

yup

Love the Matsersons - especially when they play with Steve Earle.
Eleanor added great violin and harmonies, along with Brigid Kaelin.
They both crushed it on Scarlet Tide.

Can I post iPhone photos directly to this board?

Let's have a little fun.... counting cover versions, previously released UNHEARD ever before 'live' songs, brand new unknown tunes and YES....EVEN my beloved SNIPPETS: how many songs will EC premiere for the first time EVER on East 23rd Street between February 9th and the 22nd? Statistician ba shal...

Wow. What a phenomenal career. What a life. Rest In Peace. Very sad yet grateful for his contribution to the world.

Sorry Mike...wish you were there too. The most amazing statistic of that entire run of the five nights was this one. By the previous tour ending in 1984, I had at that juncture only seen EC live seventeen times. However in five consecutive nights on 53rd Street, he shattered my wildest hopes by pla...

Anyone here know where the song (on tonight's setlist) "April 5th" comes from?

After calculating what it will likely cost to get decent seats to 4-5 of the shows, I sprung for the 10-day pass. Seemed like a better value. Am I crazy?? I was able to do the same this morning with Live Nation presale. Definitely affecting my yearly concert budget, but I know I’d regret missing th...

Yeah, seeing Bruce in Milwaukee. Will be my first ever Bruce show. Entering the silly lottery to get selected for the privilege to buy and shell out cash 7 months in advance, and for seats located somewhere up in the rafters of an arena. :lol: Looking forward to it though. It is Bruce after all. Te...

Is anyone hoping to jump on the Thursday 9/22 10AM Live Nation presale?
Anyone willing to share the code?

Good catch!
Although the added songs will have to include some repeats, no?

Seems like anybody can buy seats on the floor - perhaps at a Platinum resale price?

Great show and Elvis was in great voice. Made a video - (let me know if it's not allowed and I'll remove link.)

Great intro with a fun tease!

Meant to post this in the recent Deep Dead Blue post, but Bill Frisell has been in NYC at Village Vanguard for a three week engagement - would be cool to see him onstage with EC.

I'm optimistic, weather-wise.
And excited, as I have great seats (for the first time in a while for an EC show).
