I'm a fan of CBDG. But what's with the women in blue? Did she come straight from yoga class?

Sold the pair in row C.

Will probably sell the pair in EE if somebody makes me an offer but I'm still considering going to Toronto (and then driving back to see the Ottawa show). Any clue if the songbook will still be spinning in June or is that Revolver only?

OK, this is much better now. The Jazz Fest is selling something called Platinum Seating. The first 4 rows in front of the stage are reserved for these premum seats. I called the office and said this was new to me at an event where the rest of the venue would be general admission standing but I was a...

Have 2 extra tickets for the Toronto show at Sony Centre on June 23. Asking my cost, which is $207. Section 7 in the Orchestra. Row C. And there is a possibility I'll have a pair in row EE in section 5 to sell as well. If you are interested, send me a PM. These are presale tickets and I don't have t...

Outside show, not my favorite (sometimes I think I'm getting too old for this game!)

Great minds thinking alike there.

I can sell you a pair for Toronto - covered venue and all

Yeah, $125 is high. If you keep looking on eBay, they come up fairly often. You should be able to get a copy for about $50. That's still a crap load of money for a single that was originally given away but for $125 you should be able to get 2 or 3. BTW, do people know if this orignally came in a 2 T...

Ottawa - very good!!! Outside - meh.

Ottawa Bluesfest (July 5 - 17) nearly fits. A Montreal date would be excellent.

Kind of surprising he's not playing there (again) himself.

Sort of good news for me in a way. I really can't afford to go to New York. Now there are only VIP and upper balconys left so I am not tempted.

Still, thanks for posting the alert.

Some kind of National Ransack enquiry I suppose? I have found Vintage Vinyl to be pretty good. I already have my Black Friday mailorder in hand and I'm in Canada. For whatever reason, their system is not set up to include international shipping costs when you place your order online so they send an ...

Currently out of stock but Amazon.ca offering season 1 of Spectacle for $16:

I used to have a tape of this once upon a time. When Elvis played the El Mocombo, it was broadcast on CHUM FM. The promo-only LP didn't have the "Nick Lowe" encore but CHUM FM did broadcast it that night.

Nope. And I've checked a lot of places. It must be electronic only....

One question : does it ever happen that an album, officially to be released on a Monday, appears in shops at the weekend before ? I'm asking because a friend of mine currently living in UK is going to visit me next week, but he's got a plane on Sunday, 24th of October. I wonder if there is any chan...

Apologies if this has appeared elsewhere already, but a Notice on Elvis Costello.com says that a single version of "I lost you" will be released internationally on 18 October. Nothing about what format, or any other tracks. Could be download only, or CD or vinyl... Anyone any more informa...

I just entered once. But I got a bunch of people here at work to enter as well - all I had to do was explain to them what I would do with a couple of 78s. Fingers crossed now.

I was making a pretty conscious effort of keeping my eyes open about this, but apparently I had signed up for the Elvis mailing list with my Being There account, which I don't have set up on my iPhone and check very often. By the time I got to the board, I was already home from work and it was 3 ho...

That makes me feel old (I was there that night). 30 years?

Based on an interview I saw recently with Dave Grohl, Elvis may not even have spoken to Bob yet

Normally I guess this would go under "trading" forum but I don't actually have tickets myself - if you're looking for Syracuse on 8th, I'm currently (Saturday at 5:30) pulling up pretty good seats on Ticketmaster

Quoted for truth

CBS released 500 "official copies" of the El Mo recording - I know, 'cause I got one. Then it was widely bootleged.

I used to have a tape of the broadcast with the Nick Lowe encore but it's lost now.

This is what I have for a setlist.... Feel free to correct me or fill in the blanks:
