Elvis & the Roots, Port Chester (NY), March 12, 2014

[stricttime81]

Sorry I've been MIA lately, been going through some personal issues. BUT, I will be at this show, I can't wait to see what they have in store. Just listed to the Brooklyn show again and cannot believe how awesome that version of "I Want You" was!

We'll see you at the bar.

Will do! I'll also be at the Atlantic City show. Wanted to go to Vegas too but just couldn't squeeze it in.

A.C. will be a tough meet-up with timing etc. but hope we bump into each other Mike. we actually have to drive home AFTER the show as mrs. a. must work the next day. good thing i'm always wired after a show and the 2 1/2 drive should be relatively easy. except it is a 9:00 start time. but, i bet the show is done way before 11 anyway. so i will see you at the Capitol for my WISE UP THOUGHT cd if you still have it for me...thanks Mike! ba

It's a casino show BA, so 90 minutes tops is the usual approach, right?

I will bring it!!

I never have high hopes for casino shows, so I'm not expecting anything great.

Btw, is this an Imposters show? All the billboards and ads I've seen just say "Elvis Costello".

Ticketmaster says its an Imposters show.

bring it to Port Chester, NOT A.C. as we will DEF see each other THERE at the bar. you can have HIGH HOPES...they KILLED at the last show in the same theater for 100 minutes or whatever it was back in 2010.

Ticketmaster says its an Imposters show.

as do my TICKETS!!! hope you are at MGM tonight Soul.

The show is TOMORROW!!!! I'm not even going to this show, and I'm so excited. It would be so great if they closed out the show with The Puppet has Cut His Strings.

If the taper Gods going to this show (and you know who you are) could post a torrent as soon as possible after the show, I would be most grateful. I cannot wait to hear Costello and the Roots live again. I have pretty much worn out my iPod listening to the 9-16-13 Brooklyn Bowl show.

[bronxapostle]

i'd prefer VICEROY'S ROW and i'd LOVE to see CAN YOU HEAR ME? if they could somehow tackle it LIVE! i bet they can....

[brilliantmistake]

Listening to 'Wise up Ghost' now in prep. Haven't really played the album much since it came out. Can't wait for the show tomorrow. Going to be a good one.

I'd have bet money they were going to play Viceroy's Row given the Imposters played that one live

EVERY song sounded WAY different from the Brooklyn show...most especially MEANTIMES, quite spacey! EC sang WALK US UPTON 5-6 times at end of night call and response style. the 2nd percussionist and Captain Kirk each went once apiece too after EC. a cool show. again, VERY different sounding and feel from Brooklyn.

woo-hoo....look who's right again! Frankie Knuckles has MEANTIMES as REMIX! ba STILL has his ears for the music.

[And No Coffee Table]

Was the Meantimes "remix" like the Wise Up Thought version?

[MOJO]

Cool. Trippy show. I will indeed come prepared for the Vegas show.

[SoulForHire]

Come prepared?

i will need to listen tomorrow when i could play the turntable ANCT! but count on me to verify if it is INDEED the same or close.

Yes, it's the remix version. I thought it sounded weird, now I get it.

I'll have it up in a few minutes.

you are quick..audio? video? just the song or entire show? sorry i had to run without a goodbye. THANKS DOC!i then caught a horrible asthma attack walking up that hill in the cold, rain. freakin' fluctuation in weather always messes me up. almost needed a doctor.

that was the most glaring DIFFERENT sounding (and unperformed in Brooklyn!) but didn't everything sound vastly different from that night?

[docinwestchester]

I have video coming soon.

Yeah, it sounded different in the bigger venue. I think Brooklyn sounded a lot better.

[SoulForHire]

I have video coming soon.

Yay!

Can only hope an audio torrent isn't too far behind

[bronxapostle]

i meant the "feel" of the same songs....so different. tonight was great, Brooklyn GREATER!

DOC...do me a favor (as i remain without audio here) give a fast listen to MEANTIMES solo last night of solo tour. Saturday it was played bossa nova style. is this the same tempo it was played in November??
