Thanks for the useful info.

This concert is flagged as a benefit concert. (*Benefit Concerts Produced By Ron Delsner Presents) Anyone have any ideas what the benefit is?

Also, I have never been to Summerstage. Is it assigned seating, general admission, and/or "picnic-style" seating? Is there any advantage to getting the first crack at the tickets?

Here is a link for ticket information. It is a general admission event, so there is no need to be the first one on the website at noon this Saturday.

It's not going to be just The Imposters backing Elvis 'n Emmy this summer - ace guitarist Larry Campbell will be there too.

Larry will be touring with Elvis Costello and Emmylou Harris during the month of July. The dates are posted on Elvis Costello's site.

Now what could be a better board meet-up than this event, I ask you?? Kinda poopy that it's a Sunday night but oh well.

Sunday in the park with Elvis, anyone?? I'm there with a blanket, chair, book and cooler. Who's in?

SMM, I may be up for this. I leave for Australia later that week, so will not be able to make the Wallingford, CT date. This is my only opportunity to see EC with Emmylou. Let me think about it.

They're so good together. Seeing them at the Ryman was such a treat. I think they truly adore each other. See it if you can.

Larry was so into Elvis' set, sidestage, at Kilkenny in 2001, it must be a dream come true for him to be part of Elvis show now. God, I wish I could be there.

There has been some confusion about the date. I think the show is Tuesday July 19, NOT Sunday July 17.

Here is the entry on the Summerstage website:

Elvis Costello & The Imposters*
featuring the vocal stylings of Emmylou Harris
Tuesday, July 19th - 6:00pm doors
Tickets: $57.50 advance / $60 day of concert

http://www.summerstage.org/

Here is the entry from EC's Official Website:

7/19/2005 New York, NY USA Central Park Summerstage
With Emmylou Harris

Also, my ticket receipt says July 19, not July 17.

I have also seen it listed as the 17th, but I think that it a typo. Anyone have any different information?

If it's the 19th, it's a no-go for me.

Sorry WSS.

Mug, Summerstage has some pretty creepy rules -- no coolers, no chairs, no backpacks or duffelbags. No weapons (!) or alcohol. Need I point out that they specifically prohibit hula hoops, snakes, and children under 3 years old. (I'm not kidding!)

Blanket and book seem to be allowed, though.

What's the world coming to? You'll have to leave those AK-47s at home.

If my pet snake were poisonous, it would be doubly-barred, as a weapon and a snake. I can't imagine what would happen if I used my poisonous pet snake as a hula hoop.

They really are taking all the fun out of these outdoor concerts.

I can't go anyway if it's a Tuesday night. Feh.

normabuel · Post by **normabuel** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 2:35 pm

On July 17, EC, the Imps, Emmy Lou, and probably Larry Campbell, will be performing in Atlanta, according to EC's website.

HEY! That's the day after my birthday!!!

(oh, it's it on Tuesday now? Was blinding by my jealous rage for a mo').

Well, I wouldn't have gone if it was ON your birthday, obviously! Sheesh!

The 'official' write-up for this -

http://www.cityparksfoundation.org/index1.aspx?BD=18103

Tuesday, July 19, 2005
Beginning at 6:00 PM

Elvis Costello & The Imposters
featuring the vocal stylings of Emmylou Harris

Tuesday, July 19th 6:00pm doors
Tickets: $57.50 advance / $60 day of concert
Produced by Ron Delsener Presents

Elvis Costello has had a busy few years. Aside from getting inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame (Class of 2003) and meeting his new wife (jazz superstar Diana Krall), he reunited with 2/3 of his former backing band The Attractions to form a new group (slyly dubbed The Imposters) and released an album of jazz-tinged ballads (North), a suite of orchestral works (ll Songo) and a good old fashioned rock record (The Delivery Man). So we’re frankly amazed (and delighted) that he’s found the time to return to Central Park for his third appearance at SummerStage. Elvis will be joined by The Imposters and country-rock legend Emmylou Harris in a special guest appearance
