Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I've been seeding, but who knows what the deal is with torrentspy. Seems like a third-rate DIME wannabe. Hopefully the show comes through for you!

Having had the chance to take a listen to this, I must say it is spectacular. The ballads are goosebumps-inducing stuff; the upbeat songs are fun and even downright odd at times (the Clubland "cha-cha" most notably). The arrangements are simply amazing and I look forward to its official re...

I slapped this up on DIME just a short time ago. Avid collectors here probably have it - but I figured I'd spread the word nonetheless. http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=75275 Elvis Costello and The Imposters July 13, 2003 Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel, Providence, RI AUD(MD?)>CDR>WAV(EAC)...

This to me is the absolute finest performance I have heard of theirs, either via recording or in person. The performance of "She" is terrific, mostly because Elvis doesn't try to do his acrobat routine reaching for high notes. Rather he keeps the whole song mostly within his "North&qu...

If anyone does grab this, could you tell me if you hear something unusual at the 8th second of I Can't Stand Up.....? Either the band has a collective seizure or some other weird occurence happens. You'll know what I mean if you hear it.

This is a very good recording for anyone deliberating whether to download it. I personally could care less whether it's mp3 or not - and this sure beats the majority of .wav sourced shows in circulation. Just my $.02. P.S. It was a slow moving download, but perhaps it has more seeds now and will mov...

I haven't heard too many super shows from the IB era. With a couple of exceptions, it seems a bit of a sacrifice has to be made on pristine sound to get the coolness of the songs from that time. That said, I'll see what I can hunt down.

Well someone should suggest shows, eras, specific groupings, etc....then I can get something more exciting up there. :) My list is super outdated and I haven't had the time to update it so people could cherry pick. Someone from DIME asked for the Lupo's shows from July 2003 (Providence), so that's w...

You even beat me to it and I posted the show. You're quick Otis!

1. It's Time
2. I Want To Vanish
3. You Bowed Down
4. All This Useless Beauty
5. Why Can't A Man Stand Alone?
6. Distorted Angel
7. Complicated Shadows
8. Little Atoms
9. Starting To Come To Me
10. The Other End Of The Telescope
11. Shallow Grave
12. Poor Fractured Atlas

Does there seem to be a lack of 2005 recordings available when one considers the amount of shows Elvis did this past year? If there are some hiding out there, let's get 'em posted already!!!

Charlie,

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here...

"River in Reverse" has the feel of "Riverboat" - performed by EC and the Confederates circa 1986, which I am pretty sure was a Toussaint song. If I am not delusional in thinking this, then this certainly lends credence to the idea that it will be part of the Costello/Toussaint co...

First, sorry to the powers-that-be for having two usernames under the same IP. My old email address has been abandoned and I did not know how else to retrieve the password for my former username. Anyway, enough of that. I have been on an uploading hiatus, but I am looking once again to get a few sho...
