That's a point! When my mate and I went to see EC and the Imposters in Hammersmith Odeon last time they were in town, we were jumping up and down with excitement at the opening numbers, which including a lot of faves like Blue Chair, Uncomplicated etc.

We got some really sniffy looks from the people sitting next to us! That said, I wouldn't jump up and down in a Costello/Nieve night - it's all about the listening, sometimes!

I finally got to watch the show last night. It's formidable and the sound is great (what is it with the production on River in Reverse anyway - its very muddled). Greatest wish for the summer now is that EC and AT comes to Copenhagen.

And Davey Faragher seems to have lost a lot of weight :)

Watching it at the moment. It's absolutely fantastic.

But why does Elvis get more like a posh tramp as he gets older? :?
If there were a king of fools than I would wear that crown/And you can all die laughing/Because I'll wear it proudly.
