Elvis Costello concert reviews! — Page 4

Oh shoot, I soo meant to write Patrick! I think Getty images confused me, sorry!(hoped when i start talking about Phantom movie one would realize that). Hmm, I still thought Raul was tall though, not quite as much as Patrick maybe, but...seemed to be taller than Norbert, and even Norbert I consider tall...even though I get yelled at for that...

See, obviously I don't agree with any of those reasons, but I really don't like the interview reason. I mean, we have some kind of like ideal that everyone "famous, semi-famous" should speak eloquently, and stand this way, and say this...and most people just aren't that way. I mean it's all about personality, Anthony in addition to being a wonderful and sweet person is also extremely eloquent, and speaks a lot and is revered for interviews. But I certainly wouldn't hold it against Adam or anyone who is not that eloquent. It's all about being real, I don't know, I think Matt's that way too. They don't happen to be "super-eloquent" people, they're just fun and themselves in interviews (from what i've seen). But like you said, it's impossible to change some people's minds.

Glad to hear it was a success. Really sad I missed it.
I am a big fan of Elvis Costello but sadly I am tight on cash until the 15th of the month. I hate getting paid once a month.
I would have loved to have seen Elvis perform. I have never seen him live.
On a positive note a friend got me a ticket to Forbidden Broadway so my Halloween was not a total loss.
The new cast has improved 100 percent since the last time I saw it. Ed S, is perhaps my favorite male performer in the history of FB. I adore his performance in every skit.
Felicia Findlay has really improved and her Piazza number is almost as good as Megan as she flubs her lines and cracks up.
That number is so funny and worth the price of admission if just for that.

She is really funny! She makes weird movements in Piazza AND IT IS HYSTERICAL.
I SWEAR THAT NUMBER KILLS ME. And her Sweet Charity number also kills me.
I had tears running down my face. And ED IS PERFECT. EVERY SINGLE NUMBER. His voice is as strong as David Benoit another favorite male FB star but he is over the top.
He makes me howl.
The best Robert Goulet yet! (But William Selby is damn good)

Corine- Do see Elvis as soon and as many times as you can--as good as his recordings are, he is amazing in concert--I once saw him and he transitioned "My Brave Face" --a song he wrote with Paul McCartney, which Paul recorded--into "I'm a Believer" by the Monkees. Such is his mastery--and--his voice, if anything, has improved over time.

Is this the CD you were talking about, Emcee? I've had my eye on this one for a few months now.
Elvis double CD

Did I hear correctly that Adam had to read the lyrics to Beyond Belief? He couldn't be bothered to memorize the lyrics to a three minute song? Whatever.

I reccomend that Elvis Costello double disc as well! I sat at home and listened to it last night since I couldn't be at the concert. It's really great.

Thank you all for the reviews and pictures!

This is probably irrelevant but I didn't know anything about him reading the lyrics until you guys told me. From row L dead center, I couldn't see the lyrics or him reading it at all. ::shrug::

What did they all sing together at the end?

I've never been anywhere near NYC, so assume EverythingIsRent meant you!

I saw Joel Grey walk out of the audience, kinda froze asked if it's okay to stop an audience member, didn't get an answer and just let him walk by. Hrmph. Maybe I saw Mike Nichols with him, I wouldn't recognize him like that.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson was also there, saw him before and after. He's beginning to know some of us quite well as Liotte, Emcee, PJ and me(the Jesse posse if you will) were all there and like I said to him, we pretty much go to all these things, lol.

I know Jesse now from seeing Spelling Bee often, I don't think he would put any of us together just because of the kitchen sink incident. In fact, because he was asking then if we met up and had found each other, I would think the opposite- that we don't really know each other at all.

Sorry to nitpick but I'm curious - so Adam was looking at a music stand? Do we know if it was just the lyrics or music as well? Elvis does not write simple songs - lyrically or melodically - so I could forgive Adam using the sheet music as a guide. From the posts it was sounding like he was holding a piece of paper with scribbled lyrics in front of his face like he couldn't be bothered. But if he was using the sheet music to make sure he didn't make a mistake, I'd forgive that more readily. And snotty as he's become, I want to believe Adam at least cares about performance quality.
