Elvis Costello Tickets

First thing I loved is that the show started right on time. Greatly appreciated on a work night! Elvis Costello sounds as good live 25 years later as he did on the original Imperial Bedroom album. They played for a solid 2.5 hours straight and never missed a note. He still sings with the passion he had in his prime and you can feel the energy throughout the hall. The pianist was also amazing, sometimes having to run from the grand piano to the keyboard bank and back during one song. Elvis played at least 6 different guitars, as well as taking a turn on the piano. Back up singers were beautiful with giant voices. It all came together to form a perfect evening.

The sound mix for this show was terrible. I have been to hundreds of concerts and this was one of the worst mixes. I could hear the piano and the drums over everything else. I wouldn't be able to tell you what the backup singers sounded like - I could never hear them until the encore when only Elvis with a guitar and the singers were there. Very disappointing concert..........could have been great but the mix spoiled it.

Wow. Where do I start? 1) The sound system was awful. The engineer pushed it too far and it led to a distorted muffled sound that made it difficult to recognize the lyrics. 2) I understand that the concert was billed as a tribute to the Imperial Bedroom album. I get it. But why leave out such great songs such as Pump It Up, Veronica, Red Shoes, Peace Love & Understanding, Radio Radio, ... I wish I could get my time and money back. What a waste!

The sound crew was completely out to lunch! The bass drum was so high that it cancelled out the other instruments. The guitar tech for Elvis, was MIA when Elvis' guitar wasn't working. Took forever, and Elvis kept on signaling for another guitar, finally some sound came out of his guitar just at the same time the guitar tech finally came out and Elvis shooed him off. Basically, the sound sucked! Just one big mush!!!

I saw EC in Cleveland OH 30 years ago , one of the top shows of my life . Monday however ; did not live up to my expectations. Sound was poor , I was in the balcony and couldn't hear him speak and the sound just wasn't good . I did not recognize 95% of the song selections. I'd say about 20% of the patrons left well before the end some at first intermission.

The sound was so bad we left early. Everything was overpowered by drums and base. Very difficult to hear Costello's vocals and guitar. The keyboards were hard to hear too. Really disappointing. Expensive tickets, great venue (or so I thought), terrible sound. Elvis Costello should fire whoever mixed this live show.

He played maybe two songs that I knew throughout the concert and saved five good ones for the encore. By then I was bored to tears and ready to leave. If he interspersed more familiar songs with the unfamiliar, newer stuff, he would have held our attention much better. A lot of people got up and walked out. It was too bad because he sounds great.

My problem is I was not familiar with Costello's music and I had a difficult time understanding his lyrics because of the way he sings and the volume of the music.

We left after almost an hour of the concert, the sound was horrible. The band was so loud you couldn't hear the singing or melody of the music.mabybothers left before us. So disappointing.

Elvis Costello is an amazing performer well into his late career. His vintage band, full of Attractions and two amazing backup singers, looked as if they should be playing Live Aid. Elvis' vocals and rock'n roll guitar-playing continue to be tremendous. He definitely still has the fire. Plus, this was one of the most eclectic setlists I've seen him play and that includes the tour where he just spun a wheel of his songs and played whatever came up. Brilliant.

I love Elvis and can't tell you how much I was looking forward to this concert. I love going to the Chateau for concerts and was so happy when I heard he was coming. There was no energy to this show at all. This was one of the worst concerts I've ever been to. He played maybe four of his hits and it was like he doesn't enjoy playing them anymore. He changed them so much it was like hearing a new song. People were walking out all night and less than half stayed to hear the on chore. Don't waste your time or money on the show. Man, I am so bummed out about this show

Attendance was my hubby's idea, as he is more of a fan than I. I found the concert to be very mellow-perfect for relaxing and drinking wine. I only recognized about three songs, but tapped my toes to a few others I didn't.

second row from the front with my son who just turned 21 the day before......one of my best days ever!!!! Elvis has been a big part of my life for years from blasting it on fishing boats while pitching crab in the 70s to painting my first apartment 80s to crazy nights in LA 90s to rocking my babies to sleep.....to NOW. Elvis always delivers, his concert was amazing he still has IT and i will never forget....one of my best concerts ever!

He took too long to play his famous songs. Did not seem connected to audience.

Elvis finally showed up- 30 minutes late-sang without much passion, but managed to leave the stage early. We clocked him at about 1 hour for his performance. We were tired of his antics and left. He did come back for an good encore which we heard as we drove away. It is starting to look like this concert series doesn't care much about quality.

Elvis Costello visited Nashville and played a wide repertoire from his long career. A giant 50s looking television played videos of Elvis' earlier hits. Then following the opening act, Elvis came out and played solo and acoustic versions of his work, mostly newer things. He was joined by the opening act, Larkin Poe, for a few songs and then brought out the Preservation Hall Jazz Band for the final six songs. I enjoyed the show, but would much prefer to see Elvis with the Attractions or the Impostors. He butchered "Everyday I write the Book."

The opening act was totally forgettable! I only hope I can!! Elvis mumbled, told unfunny jokes, and was overall a total waste of my time and $$$!!

A mostly solo set, with EC switching between guitar and piano, let his songwriting skill shine! He finished off the show joined by Preservation Hall Jazz group (!) and Larkin Poe. Magical evening!

I've seen Elvis Costello around 20 times, beginning in 1982, and this was one of the top three shows I've seen him do. He always does something different — but this tour was truly brilliant.

Elvis is extremely entertaining. His banter is quite amusing, and he can be quite enlightening. This is one of his best, because, it is the most intimate concert. Not encumbered by additional musicians, he plays the more ballad-like songs that I enjoy most of his repertoire. He played a lot of the new songs he's writing for a new production/play/musical. I'm looking forward to see/hear it in the future.
