ELVIS COSTELLO. HONKYTONY DEMOS. August 15, 1976, BBC Studios, London. 5 Tunes.

ELVIS COSTELLO. UNLOVED SONGS. VOL 1 & 2. (2) Enjoyable era spanning collection of stuff. A wish mash. BBC Peel sessions, Studio demos, alt takes, etc.

ELVIS COSTELLO. FLIP CITY DEMOS. This is the band he was a part of before going solo. Some pretty catchy stuff and a a couple of early versions of some things. "Knocking on Heaven's Door" cover.

ELVIS COSTELLO RADIO SPECIALS (2) I am grouping a couple of different radio specials that I got at the same time though they are all separate. There is a long 1995 titled "Overview" disc which is 78 minutes long where Elvis discusses his career up to that point. Fascinating Then there is a show in conjunction with his album done with the Brodsky Quartet. And a third show done with the release of the Brutal Youth album. All quite interesting.

ELVIS COSTELLO. STIFF DEMOS '76/BBC SESSIONS '77. I would still make the argument that his first couple of discs are among the very greatest runs of the genre. Elvis is king. Hey man, you even get a cover of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door."

ELVIS COSTELLO. NOVEMBER 15, 1977 (2) San Franscisco. Both early and late sets - KSAN radio broadcast. Can we say seminal. Can we say rock poetry. Can you say transcendent. Yes we can.

ELVIS COSTELLO. GET EMOTIONAL. October 22, 1977, Leicester, England. Stereo Soundboard. A kick ass and take no prisoners night. Hey Elvis is Elvis.

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS. November 23, 1977. New Orleans. 9 songs all full of fire.

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS. DECEMBER 1, 1977. Chicago, Illinois. Energetic, spry, organy, young Elvis - a sweet and fantastic little set.

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS. DECEMBER 5, 1977. Cleveland, Ohio. A wicked show, well recorded with upfront vocals. A young, dashing Kickin' Elvis certainly one of the best I've heard.

ELVIS COSTELLO. DECEMBER 6, 1977, Marcy, New York. Young Elvis on tour and on the radio once again. Oh the good old days.

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS. DECEMBER 9, 1977. Boston, Massachusetts. WBCN recording. Elvis conquers America.

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTION. LIVE IN ST. LOUIS. January 31, 1978. St. Louis, Missouri. KADI FM Radio broadcast. Great stuff, love this stuff.

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS. FEBRUARY 9, 1978, Eugene, Oregon. KZEL radio broadcast. Love it.

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS.  JUNE 15, 1978.  Cologne, Germany.  Great sounding early show.  

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS. JULY 7, 1978. San Francisco, California. Sizzling recording. Nice and balanced, clear and strong. You can hear the musical abilities of the attractions maturing. Example: the fine playing on "Blame It on Cain." Fantastic.

ELVIS COSTELLOE & THE ATTRACTIONS.  JANUARY 27, 1979.  Cardiff, UK.   Great soundboarder. 

ELVIS COSTELLO. FEBRUARY 14, 1979. Long Beach, CA Great stuff from an artist on fire.

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTION. MARCH 29, 1979. Boston. Just 7 songs in perfect sound. On fire.

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS. I STAND ACCUSED. April 12, 1979. A fiery performance with Elvis at his peak. Wasn't he the Brit Dylan or was that Donovan.

ELVIS COSTELLO. "THE HORACE BARLOW EXPERIENCE" FEBRUARY 6, 1980. Liverpool. Elvis opens a show for Rockpile incognito. Fun.

ELVIS COSTELLO. MAY 14, 1980. London, England. A BBC broadcast. Nice show just love the Tempts' cover of "Don't Look Back." I guess it's not written by Mick Jagger & Peter Tosh. Anyway, this is fun stuff.

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTION. HEATWAVE FESTIVAL. Snappy performance of 23 slammn' tunes - all good. Who else was at this festival? The Clash, Blondie, The B-52s, The Pretenders, Rockpile, Talking Heads...what an incredible line up. Them's the good days. I feel sorry for today's kids - they've got nothing!!!!

ELVIS COSTELLO. EVERY DAY I WRITE THE BOOK. Good, but not nearly as spectacular as the previous show.

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS. JULY 5, 1981. Werchter, Belgium. 8 songs from a radio broadcast. Go man go. Love it.

ELVIS COSTELLO. DECEMBER 31, 1981, New York City (2). Imperfect soundboard of the Almost Blue, Almost New tour. 

ELVIS COSTELLO ARMED FORCES/1978-1983 LIVE. Live compilation following the order of EC's mighty third.

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS. THE GANGSTER IS BACK. AUGUST 7,1983. Could also include August 1984 material. Regardless this is a fantastic radio broadcast. sounds like it was spliced together from multiple sources. Supposed to be one of the best EC boots from those in the know.

ELVIS OSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS. RIOT ACT. OCTOBER 17, 1983, London. Elvis brings it, along with a horn section, just a fabulous musical performance. Sound boarder.

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS. AUGUST 11, 1984. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Great sounding rock with Elvis and the boys kicking ass and taking numbers.

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS. MARCH 9, 1985. London. Wondrous soundboard.

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS.  JULY 6, 1986.  Werchter, Belgium.   Great stuff including a wonderful call and response on "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood."  

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTION. NOVEMBER 23, 1986 (2) London. A saw this tour when it came through Boston and hated the show and kind floated away from Elvis for year because of it. Listening to the show gave me a change to reconsider. The band plays great and Elvis is fine voice - but oh god, the setlist is poorly compiled and there's too much midling material.

ELVIS COSTELLO & FRIENDS. APRIL 24, 1989 (2), Sweetwater, Mill Valley, California. This is an amazing boot - in fact - if you had to make a case for Bootlegging this would be a perfect example. The event itself is some kind of cool record store anniversary part. Elvis plays a great acoustic set and then the guests follow: Jerry Garcia, Jerry Schiff, James Burton, Commander Cody, Sammy Hagar - yikes. Anyway, there is some great music and some real fun. And oh yeah, it's a soundboard.

ELVIS COSTELLO SOLO. JULY 11, 1989. Montreux Jazz Festival. Fun stuff. Excellent sound and performance.

ELVIS COSTELLO AND THE RUDE FIVE. MAY 1991 TOUR REHEARSALS. They sound pretty tight with Marc Ribot in tow. A run threw of 20 songs - great sounding.

ELVIS COSTELLO. PLUGGELECTRIC. Split disc, half from the 1991's MTV Unplugged Performance and the other an electric set from Glasgow in 1994. His aim is true.

ELVIS COSTELLO. RIOT ACT. October 17, 1993. London, England. Must be the Punch of Clock era tour as we get a couple from that album, a favorite of mine. Includes a cover of Backstabbers (From 1983) as well. Well recorded and great singing all nite.

ELVIS COSTELLO JUNE 8, 1994. New York City, New York. Summerstage in Central Park. A fine recording only betrayed by a some setlist choices and a few missed rearrangements. With that said, there is some fantastic stuff here just uneven.

ELVIS COSTELLO. JUNE 27, 1994 (2) Paris, France. Superb soundboard.

ELVIS COSTELLO. LIKE BUDDY HOLLY ON ACID. July 19, 1994 (2) Rome, Italy. Excellent soundboard.

ELVIS COSTELLO SEPTEMBER 22, 1994 (2) Tokyo, Japan. Fantastic recording and performance.

ELVIS COSTELL0 & THE ATTRACTIONS. MAY 17, 1995 (2). London. With Marc Ribot & James Burton. Fab night. Soundboard.

ELVIS COSTELLO. MAY 15, 1996. (2) San Francisco, CA. KFAN radio broadcast. I seem to be missing 2 or 3 tracks, so what, this is a great show.

ELVIS COSTELLO & STEVE NIEVE.  MAY 20, 1986.  Boston, Massachusetts.  WBOS Radio. Broadcast from the Paradise Theatre.  I think incomplete and maybe missing a few final tracks. 

ELVIS COSTELLO & STEVE NIEVE. MAY 22, 1996 (2) New York City. Elvis at the Supper Club broadcast by WNEW. Good stuff.

ELVIS COSTELLO. I DID TALK TO BOB DYLAN. 1996. This is acoustic Elvis that's a bit same sounding song to song. Nice recording.

ELVIS COSTELLO. VHI STORYTELLERS. Broadcast on June 16, 1996. Stories and songs from the witty one.

ELVIS COSTELLO. FEBRUARY 8, 1999 (2) Tokyo, Japan. While this soundboard is artful and some excellent moments, it's just a bit dreary and ballad heavy for me.

ELVIS COSTELLO. February 19, 1999 (2) With Steve Nieve on Keyboards. Commercial sound. First the bad: Those Bachrach songs are truly a dreaful bore. The Good: the Elvis songs that I know and love performed in outstanding arragements with real spirit and charm. I guess I could turn this into an amazing one discer.

ELVIS COSTELLO WITH STEVE NIEVE. LONELY IN BERLIN. (2) May 10, 1999. Berlin, Germany. Lovely soundboard in the amazing city.

ELVIS COSTELLO. JUNE 16, 1999 (2) Toronto, Canada. Again with Nieve on Keyboards. Terrifically entertaining show with "Radio Sweetheart" turned into a great audience singalong. Perfect sound.

TWO'S COMPANY (2)  November, 12, 1999, Newcastle, England.  Terrif show of Nieve & Elvis, warm and beautiful soundboard. 

ELVIS COSTELLO. EPISODES OF ELVIS (2). April 16, 2002 in London. Bonus Tracks include his part from the Landmine Free World Concert in 2002 and then the "Crossroads" appearance with Lucinda Williams.

ELVIS COSTELL0 & ALLEN TOUSSAINT. July 5, 2006, Hyannis, Massachusetts. Start with the premise: the most inspired pairing in many a moon. Secondly, their commercial album is the year's best offering. Period. This is a good recording, very enjoyable night. I caught the show a week later in Boston, it was fantastic!!

ELVIS COSTELLO. THE FIRST TEN YEARS. PODCAST SERIES (2) Elvis interview - lots of good anecdotes and observations.

ELVIS COSTELLO. SEPTEMBER 30, 2007. Bridgeport, Connecticut. Openng set for Bob Dylan - alone and acoustic and just on fire. Well captured by the taping there's just a little distance in the sound. These were amazing performances - inspired.

ELVIS COSTELLO & CLOVER. MY AIM IS TRUER. (2) November 8, 2007. Decent audience tapng of this reunion show performing the first album in its entirity and then doing other stuff.
