Elvis Costello Fan Forum

This track has been bouncing around in my head for 2 years now. A delightful discovery then, but alas, no digital download, at least that I could find. Bought 3 track special CD on Amazon for $8 a couple days ago, package arrived, and have been playing loudly on home stereo. I like it better than a...

I'm sure some very fine people are going.

So - being entirely selfish but not wishing to sound ungrateful for the 8 concerts recorded and shared but ............. does anyone know if shows 2 and 8 were recorded and if there are any plans to share these with those of us unable to make the trip to NY please? And more thanks than words can ex...

I have a live version of Sweetest Punch but the quality isn't great.

That Audra Mae can really sing. Great Voice.

Rob Mathes in attendance per EC.

Highlights:

debut (for me) of I don't want your Lyndon Johnson

Full band version of My Mood Swings!

Bedlam - always a treat to hear

Beautiful version of Accidents

New arrangement of Blood & Hotsauce

You never know!!

Sometimes you do

We all know EC is a fashion icon, but I'm not sure about that mint green coat. Oh well, if EC is wearing it, it must be cool.

I'm going!

Jeff and Stacey!!

And if I may add please....HOW ABOUT OUR GUY HIMSELF??? That venue and the stellar staff as assuredly instructed by E himself i like to imagine, was the most gracious ever!!! No one harangued anyone about the filming. I think EC genuinely comprehended the vast scope of desire that his worldwide fan...

Nice to see much better and longer setlist for a non-casino show. Now looking forward to Port Chester.

Wish they wold stop playing Green Shirt live though. Good song but I don't love it live.

Great to meet you, Charles!

I do keep a list of all shows, all songs I've heard, how many times, and the dates of each one!

After only two shows for me at Gramercy, I figured I better tackle my archives before my third and last one tonight. My guardian angels had me pick the first two I attended correctly it seems as I added eight on both nights!! I'll take that again this evening. Or none is fine too. At 765 for me now...

I was particularly pleased to hear CCIU and Newspaper Pane (finally for me).

Otherwise a stock factory issue Imposters show, but still great.

Not sure we needed EIGHT songs from Boy Named If tonight. Four would have sufficed with four more deep cuts from past albums.

A 50+ year-old white man's attempt to transcribe the J Swiss freestyle rap in Come the Meantimes. Caveat: this is probably completely wrong Y’all feeling good? Y’all feeling good? Y'all feeling good, yeah I said I’m rocking’ at the Gramercy Swiss you know I had to be Call me as Your Honor, Godfather...

Inappropriate for this forum IMO.

What are those Melody Ballad Successes on the merch stall wall?

not sure, i didn't notice it. i'll take a look tonight.

BTW that was just a set decoration on cardboard, nothing more.

Particularly pleased to see All the Rage, one of my favorites, for the very first time. And they played it great.

Also pleased to hear Fallen. So many others, too. The whole thing has been unreal.

Okay.... everyone count to 12 tonight. After, we do a good old Yankee Stadium/MSG chant!

TWO HUNDRED

LOL

After the 200th song is played tonight, the concert should stop for presentation of a plaque commemorating the moment.
