Detectives new arrangement is fabulous. It’s like Double Indemnity coming to life. I think I saw Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck on stage.
Edit: Comedians might have been the absolute highlight though.

Nailed it. “Go Away” is very underrated.Fishfinger king wrote:Sleep Of The Just - surely the best last track?
Next Time Round is fantastic.
I also rather like Go Away.

Re: Elvis & Steve Nieve GRAMERCY NYC February 20, 2023
Amazing setlist, but did they forget about "Deep Dark Truthful Mirror" and "Couldn't Call It Unexpected"? ("A Face in the Crowd" also appears to be the residency's first non-"PL&U" repeat.) Elvis did say they were going to “break their own rule” when he p...

One good spotting deserves another! In my excitement, I didn’t even notice “And Other Children’s Tales”.thepopeofpop wrote:Good spotting!GetHappy!! wrote:82D7BEC1-2927-47B9-870E-7BEE3993EE69.jpeg
It looks like the cover art itself says "The Boy Named If And Other Children's Tales" rendered in EC's inimitable style.

The untitled song was “The Death Of Magic Thinking”; basically “Chelsea” segued into it with no break, chopping off the last (repeated) verse.

Just as the new songs that have trickled out have failed to light a fire for my enthusiasm for the album...I watch that Party Girl clip, and all is right again. Can we get a whole concert of just EC and Batiste?? Magnificent.

Well, maybe it was just me, but the sound tonight was awful. Went with a couple of EC neophytes, and the mix was muddy, vocals were indistinguishable unless you were aware of the lyrics. Crowd was enthused, but they barely wanted to sing along with “Less Than Zero”. Geez, I remember in ‘94 when EC &...

The quote comes from “Memo From Turner”, attributed to The Rolling Stones, but actually Mick Jagger, Ry Cooder and friends. From the Performance film soundtrack.

Re: Unfaithful Music & Soundtrack album, Oct 2015
I suppose it's logical enough. The last Rhino reissue was in , I think , 2005. I daresay the various single disc/double disc reissues ever since on Hip O etc. are from those early 2000s mixes. The technology used in that process has been developed quite a bit in the ten years since so I imagine tha...
