Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater, Bridgeport, CT, July 5,

I didn't take notes either, but I'm pretty sure Possession was the second song. If you go to this venue, sit as close to the center as possible. The sound is absolutely atrocious on the sides. Also, I counted exactly two times Charlie got to solo, while Elvis soloed constantly. What's the point of h...

I updated my PFM review, expanding the original text a bit, and adding several paragraphs about the new set, for your reading pleasure (or not):

Re: The Songs of Bacharach & Costello: 4 album set based on Painted From Memory, March 3, 2023

The 4 CDs alone could easily be priced and sold for under $80. Vinyl is expensive to produce these days, so they created the problem just to justify a high price.

Which I only found out when I checked my order after not receiving it on July 1, as or...
