Ulysses Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I'm not going, because of a fixture clash, but Elvis Costello and Steve Nieve are doing a UK and Ireland tour next September. It's all the usual single dates, although AFAIK the set lists will vary a lot - but they're finishing with a four-night run in Vicar Street in Dublin, in which they'll do 100 songs over the course of the four nights (Friday, Saturday, Monday and Tuesday). Elvis' voice is even rougher than it used to be, but if you're a fan... https://www.classicpopmag.com/2023/12/elvis-costello-and-steve-nieve-announce-2024-uk-and-ireland-tour/ They're not playing Edinburgh but they're in Glasgow on September 5th.

I saw him in the 80’s when he got back together with the original band and they had the wheel of songs onstage. Members of the audience were invited onstage to spin the wheel to decide what the band played next to a different song list every night.

I saw Nick Cave a couple if years ago and it was just him and a grand piano. He was on stage for about 3 hours and all he did was take requests and answer questions from the crowd so no set list and no questions of limits. His solo piano versions were unbelievable. So much talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute rip off merchants Fair enough I’d say if you’re the type that collects tickets of gigs you’ve been to. I had a big pinboard of them in the house when I was a youngster. Wish I still had some of them. Also if you buy a ticket for Tynecastle and pay for the 1st class delivery to your house you still get sent an electronic one you can put in the wallet on your phone to use on the day.

I used to have a pinboard as well and now literally and likely appropriately given my first sentence, have all my tickets in a shortbread tin. The mark up on tickets is so high they could surely just give you a downloadable 'paper copy' for free for folk who wanted them. I'm now just writing on paper any gigs I've been to with no paper ticket and adding to my tin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it was a cracking gig in one of the most beautiful venues. The band were really good and they didn't hang about between songs so we got our money's worth, but I thought the singer was sometimes just going through the motions and not showing any of Curtis's emotions. I went to see the Doors Alive a couple of weeks ago and you could have been watching Jim himself as the singer put so much into it!! 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute rip off merchants Poor souls need the money. I made the error of buying a commemorative card & lanyard for a hydro gig. Human League were playing all of Dare and it's one of my formative albums so I thought a laminated card with the album cover and tour date on it would be a nice keepsake. What turns up? Basically an advert for the Hydro with the gig time inked on it, with the line "gie it laldy" in neon font. 🤮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
