<div>Elvis Costello w/Clover and Pete Thomas. <br/> <br/>I think it would have been a treat even for non fans but at $100.usd a head I suppose it was mostly hardcore fans and some supporters perhaps of the cause as it was a benefit for: <br/> <br/>http://www.rdshp.org/ <br/> <br/>{The Richard de Lone Special Housing Project is a newly formed nonprofit agency with the mission of working toward providing a state-of-the-art residential group home setting in Marin County, California, capable of serving both children and adults with Prader-Willi Syndrome and utilizing best practice techniques to serve the Prader-Willi population. By extension, we hope to be able to benefit all people who need to live in special care facilities. } <br/> <br/>Clover had John McFee jammin' the awesome slide guitar and regular guitar and some other guys who were later The News of Huey Lewis fame. So they played My Aim Is True in it's entirety in the order of the Lp w/some Elvis stories in between like how they told them not to turn of the lights in the room they were staying in cuz of rats and how Huey Lewis came back late one night w/the mgr and Elvis woke up and heard scratching and turned on the lights to get his shoes and saw all the rats and thats when he wrote Blame It On Cain. It was all so awesome and the whole audience seemed to know everyword and then at the almost end they used Watching The Detectives for and encore and so that still wasn't very long so E.C. did some REALLY obscure stuff he had written in those days by himself for a while then brought the band back for some country stuff.. Oh yeah and only diversion from the Lp was in the end of Waiting For The End of The World when he started singing G-L-O-R-I-A gloria ..... hah aha back to the country stuff including Radio Sweetheart and Stranger In the House. In a way it was really for the afficianado's like me :-) but nevertheless it was most awesome! <br/> <br/>Some of his old stuff had lines he later used like from Big Sisters Clothes, and darn memory of mine but they did a really wierd version of Living In Paradise and just lines would pop out that i'd recognize in wierd songs... <br/> <br/>Worth every buck'o. Thanks for reading, <br/> <br/>Heart, ~ Robley;D <br/> <br/>Also got to see songs I've never seen like Sneaky Feelings, Blame it on Cain (i think i've never seen that one), Waiting fo the End of The World, the ones I've never heard of course, No Dancing, Pay it Back, Im not angry......... <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Here's the Track listing of My Aim Is True: <br/> <br/>Side one <br/>"Welcome to the Working Week" – 1:22 <br/>"Miracle Man" – 3:31 <br/>"No Dancing" – 2:39 <br/>"Blame It on Cain" – 2:49 <br/>"Alison" – 3:21 <br/>"Sneaky Feelings" – 2:09 <br/> <br/>Side two <br/>"(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes" – 2:47 <br/>"Less Than Zero" – 3:15 <br/>"Mystery Dance" – 1:38 <br/>"Pay It Back" – 2:33 <br/>"I'm Not Angry" – 2:57 <br/>"Waiting for the End of the World" – 3:22 <br/>Tracklisting notes: "Watching the Detectives", which was released in the UK as a single in October 1977, was not on the original UK release of the album, but was added to the U.S. release as the last track on side one.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://elviscostello.tribe.net">Elvis Costello and the Attractions</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Has anyone else read this book? "Complicated Shadows: The Life and Music of Elvis Costello" by Graeme Thomson. It's a well-researched look into EC's background, mostly regarding his musical career. Fascinating stuff.

<div>Hi all. I figured I should introduce myself since i'm now the mod of this tribe. <br/> <br/>I can't imagine changing much around here, although it would be cool if there was some more action in this tribe. <br/> <br/>Do any of you collect or have any live Elvis stuff? <br/>I sure do. I was wondering if people would like to make trading (note...not selling) live elvis a regular part of this tribe? Weigh in, if that sounds like a good idea.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://elviscostello.tribe.net">Elvis Costello and the Attractions</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>The fact that I think of it still as "Strictly Bluegrass" and the fact that I hate crowds has made it such that I've never attended this festival despite knowing about it from the beginning. I was bummed this morning to read that Elvis played twice. Shit, I probably would have dragged my ass over there for that given that I can't really afford Elvis' concert prices anymore. <br/> <br/>"Only a few thousand fans were on hand Friday afternoon when Costello put on a loose, amiable set with a thrown-together band that will go down as one of his most memorable performances in more than 25 years of Bay Area appearances.

<div>'The Right Spectacle' was released a few weeks ago with little fanfare. It's a DVD collection of pretty much all the Elvis Costello videos from the 70s to the early 90s, PLUS a whole bunch of excellent live footage from various European TV shows ('77-'83). <br/> <br/>Some of the videos from the mid-80s to the 90s are clunkers (I prefer the goofy, pre-MTV videos) but, as a whole, it's a great set - highly recommended.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://elviscostello.tribe.net">Elvis Costello and the Attractions</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>I saw E.C. at Miami Beach's Jackie Gleason Theater in March of this year. Some of you may have already heard the following story, but if not, here's my short version. <br/> <br/>It was pretty good show until maybe a hour into the program. Apparently there were some technical problems and E.C. was not pleased. He yelled at some stage hands once and gave the look of death to another poor roadie. After several songs with the occasional feedback and unwanted distortion, E.C. asked a very lucky fan if he would like to switch places and he'll sit in the seat and watch his own band perform. Well, not only did Mr. C get his wish, but we got one hell of treat. <br/> <br/>They set up a mike on the floor, he picked up a guitar and sang a bunch of tunes sitting with the audience. Little by little, ppl started to leave their seats and form a semi circle around him and before you knew it 3/4's of this theater were standing listening to this musical shaman. I was maybe 10-12 ft from the legend. He then took his proper place back on stage with the audience still standing, and tore through his hits that left me almost in tears. It was the most unforgetable concert experience of my 28 years. <br/> <br/>I don't know if E.C. felt the same magic that the audience did but that's the way Rock N' Roll should be. <br/>-Cheers</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://elviscostello.tribe.net">Elvis Costello and the Attractions</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>The greatest Elvis recordings were made with Bruce Thomas. He is as great as Elvis, and a counterpoint to him. Bruce made a lot of those songs happpen. In my opinion, there was a period when Elvis was putting out recordings (without Bruce) that lived up to his previous classic ones. Then he came out with "Brutal Youth," which captured him at his high point once again. Bruce plays on 4-6 tracks on this recording. <br/> <br/>As many of you probably know, Bruce and Elvis reportedly despise each other. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://elviscostello.tribe.net">Elvis Costello and the Attractions</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>If anyone has extra tix to the show or knows of any way to get some, please help a slacker out. A friend of mine was supposed to go to the box office and pick some up for me and thus avoid funding Ticketmaster's racket. However, he never made it to the box office. <br/> <br/>And now it's sold out. I'm terribly disappointed right now. And I told my friend I'd get him one, too. I suck! <br/> <br/>Please help if you can, even if you know another place to look. <br/> <br/>Thanks, <br/>Jeremy</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://elviscostello.tribe.net">Elvis Costello and the Attractions</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>I have...along with my lovely wife who is also a member here. <br/>We got to spend a very drunken evening with the Attractions in a hotel in L.A. when they were in town to play the Tonight Show in the mid 80's. A friend hooked us up to hang with them. Pete and Steve were particularly cool and friendly and I'll never forget a totally smashed Pete Thomas telling me that if it wasn't for (manager) Jake Rivera Elvis, Nick Lowe and the rest of them would all be brick layers. <br/> <br/>Anyone else have any interesting encounters with Elvis or his entorage?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://elviscostello.tribe.net">Elvis Costello and the Attractions</a> - 12 replies </div>

<div>So, okay, I know I don't do much posting, but seeing as how I've been compared to E.C. (something which, while I don't 100% believe is a fair comparison, I love nonetheless), I thought that perhaps some of you folks might want to join the audience at my gig in Santa Monica on Monday, 8/16. I'm playing at The Talking Stick (1630 <br/>Ocean Park Boulevard, Santa Monica, CA   90405, <br/>www.thetalkingstick.net) at 8pm. It's free (no cover!), the coffee and such there is supposed to be amazing (I wouldn't know, as I've never actually been there!), and I know the entertainment will be top-shelf. <br/> <br/>Hope to see you there.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://elviscostello.tribe.net">Elvis Costello and the Attractions</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hi, new member here. I've been a big Elvis fan for some time, thanks to an old sometimes pseudo-boyfriend who said that Elvis Costello wrote songs about people like us. That's all in the distant past, but I still love the music. I finally just replaced my worn out tape of Get Happy so I thought I'd add the cover to the pics collection. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://elviscostello.tribe.net">Elvis Costello and the Attractions</a> - 11 replies </div>

<div>As I was driving home from work tonight I heard a review of Diana Krall's new album on NPR. On this album she ventured away from only doing her renditions of jazz standards and has 6 new original songs she co-wrote with her husband, Elvis Costello. They played a couple snips of songs in which her style and inflection sounded so much like Elvis singing in his sultry lounge standard voice. At the end they played a bit of her version of Almost Blue...which did not sound much different than Elvis' version. <br/> <br/>You can check it out on the NPR site http://www.npr.org/display_pages/features/feature_1853364.html <br/> <br/>I am not familiar with her previous recordings so it is hard for me to comment, but it seems Elvis has had quite an influence on her. <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://elviscostello.tribe.net">Elvis Costello and the Attractions</a> - 14 replies </div>

<div>That song almost killed me. <br/>Kevin, I still love you, even if you can't. <br/> <br/> I heard Elvis C. sing in SF, but I had to stand outside the theater, I think it was the Warwick. I didn't have the money. <br/> Before 1999 I never heard of Elvis Costello. <br/> Living in San Francisco gave me that gift. And a bunch of things I didn't bargain for... <br/> <br/> That cut on "The Best of Elvis Costello and the Attractions" of "I Want You" is better than the one I eventually got here in NY on a larger 2 CD set. <br/> I don't know why. It is the same group. Almost the same, but something is missing. Maybe it is me: maybe it is 'him'. <br/> <br/> scott </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://elviscostello.tribe.net">Elvis Costello and the Attractions</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>Hi all. I've been an Elvis fan since '79 first seeing him live on the tour for This Years Model. Saw him on the last tour with the Imposters and was quite pleased to have rockin' Elvis back with Steve Neive in tow. My favorite Elvis album is Imperial Bedroom followed closely by Armed Forces although I'll always have a soft spot for My Aim is True too.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://elviscostello.tribe.net">Elvis Costello and the Attractions</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>EC was on LNWCB this week. A very good appearance, especially since Kilborn went wayyyyy out of his way to pretty much make the entire show all about Elvis. EC performed his song from "Cold Mountain" sitting on the sofa with only a ukelele (albeit a beautiful one) and simply KILLED. My wife and I were in tears by the end, shuddering. God, I wish I was on the damn Oscar committee or whatever it is...I'd love to see Our Beloved Entertainer walk away with a statue...</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://elviscostello.tribe.net">Elvis Costello and the Attractions</a> - 7 replies </div>
