Tungsten Gruvsten Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I just got an absolutely killer EC and the Attractions show from 77 the other day, I keep forgetting how damn good he is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 This is excellent news! I saw Mr.Costello play last year at the Amphitheatre. Although it was an incredible show, I could not help but think throughout that it would have been even more enjoyable had the venue been more contained. Given that this show will take place at Massey Hall, one of the greatest venues ever (save the 2nd balcony knees-to-your-chin seating), I am sure it will be unbelievable! Go see him... he does not disappoint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Musicface Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 quote:Originally posted by \/\/illy: he has made more than a dozen albums, as a solo artist and with the group, The Attractions. Try more like 20, and that's not counting various compliations and re-issues. (No offense to you \/\/illy, I know you're just quoting another source here.) I'm in the middle of reading Tony Clayton-Lea's biography, I'm right at the part where he gets into a fight with Stephen Stills & Bonnie Bramlett where he allegedly called James Brown a "jive-ass nigger". Crazy old punk bastard, you still gotta love him! Anyway, I'm definitely gonna try to make this. Anyone know if he's playing a full-on rock set or if he's doing the sort of quiet-jazz thing like on his last album North? Should be a great show either way! Peace, Mr. M.
