Elvis Costello Beyond Belief Momofuku Tour

[johngruman]

Stellar recording! Stellar performance. Like Tom Waits, and a very select few, Elvis is too good for pop and way too interesting to be a museum piece. He's a treasure.

Saw him 4/22/08 in Memphis

[zibz444]

seeing him tommorow can't wait

[wintceas]

rot in hell for this beautiful song.

[lsuboy101]

what?

[leighmims]

yes, he is amazing... with a case of ooofongoo he still managed to belt it out; a consumate showman at all times. I'd help him find Bruce but couples make me squiemish.

[krallstello]

Like I said, THANKS!!! He is so amazing!

[daibero]

i guess is too much to ask bring momofuku to buenos aires, and much more to play this song

[RunyonFan]

WOW! That's a 180 from most of the shows I've seen. (About 12 in the US & UK.) Having said that, I've had some tremendous personal interactions with him, from stage to seat. As you know, he's big with interacting with fans, particularly within the first 10 rows or so. I usually get tickets within the first 5 and usually 1st or 2nd. (I know people.) And he's got such humor and wit in his performances.

If anyone reading this HASN'T seen him, he's probably one of the best shows you'll ever see.

[RunyonFan]

The sound on this is surprisingly good. And I'm amazed — no, AMAZED — that Elvis didn't get pissed at you. I've seen him go off on photographers. Saw him open with "What's So Funny 'Bout..." and in between all of these warm notions, he's stepping away from the microphone yelling "FUCK OFF!" at the guy.

He even gave me kind of a look when i took a picture with my crappy camera phone.

So, man! Congratulations and THANKS for putting this up!

Love that guy...

[lsuboy101]

youre welcome

heck he actully was wanting us to come up. security tried to stop us be elvis told them to let us come through.

[riles5446]

thts crazy, i went to a show at the mann center in philly, and they were checking people for cameras as you walked thru the door, still, someone got a vid of him there...

I feel bad for missing this tour. I had the luck of meeting Mr. MacManus back in 1994, right after the Spike Tour in Santa Barbara. But, now that he's opening for The Police reunion tour and tickets are $400 and gas is creeping towards $5 a gallon. I doubt that I'll be able to see him ever again.

"So in this almost empty gin palace, through a two-way looking glass you see your Alice." Even a boring cliche' monger like Billy Joel was wise enough to declare Elvis Costello one of the greatest lyricists of our time.

It is so good of you to post this, thank you.

And so quickly after filming it too. I was wondering what he was up to. Aint he such a words man!

this is one of my faves of his, (not that the opinion of an old sado who doesn`t get out much matters.)

But I think you have to go a long way to beat "Pump it up"  At full volume! as I think it sounds a bit odd played quietly and without the aid of air guitar, so it has to be LOUD!

Thanks again.Tra.

my favorite elvis costello song ever...

[headlesstroubadour]

My hands were clammy and cunning

She's been suitably stunning

But I know there's not a hope in Hades

All the laddies cat call and wolf whistle

So-called gentlemen and ladies

Dog fight like rose and thistle

I've got a feeling

I'm going to get a lot of grief

Once this seemed so appealing

Now I am beyond belief
