Elvis Costello Tickets

HUGE FAN OF ELVIS LESSER FAN OF BLUEGRASS BUT I MUST ADMIT IT WORKS! NICE MIX OF OLD AND NEW SONG MADE FOR A VERY IMPRESSIVE SHOW. ELVIS FANS WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

elvis costello's performance was undeniably excellent. his ability to connect with the audience is sincere, his talent is obvious and his style is unparalleled. The group of musicians gathered on stage was skilled and their performance was nearly flawless. the beacon theater is beautiful, the staff was friendly and helpful- nice to be at a show that feels so intimate. The big downer for me was the unfortunate experience of being seated behind a middle aged couple in heat- making out and groping each other throughout the show was bad enough- but the woman also wore a half bottle of bad perfume that nearly asphyxiated the entire section. There were a few other uptight concert-goers seated nearby, perhaps on edge because of the perfume poisoning - it seemed every other person in the area was looking for a fight, but nevertheless the show itself was great.

Excellent musical interplay went hand in hand with re-imaginings of classic Costello songs from My Aim is True.

good show-I would have liked more older stuff but got used to the new album;current band line up is amazing-very talented

seats weren't great but it was almost 3 hours of new and old music. The band was great and musicianship superb.

The Sugarcanes together with the incomparable Mr. MacManus were a pure delight to listen to. EC was in good voice and the backup harmonies by Jim Lauderdale were as clean and crisp as the studio versions on the new CD.EC is the ultimate showman! He continues to make great music and associate himself with first class musicians like the Sugarcanes and Mr. Lauderdale. You never walk away disappointed from an EC performance - he gives you so much more than your moneys worth. The new material from the new CD was well represented and the re-worked older classic material (Sugar Versions) backed up by the Sugarcanes confirmed the musical genius of everyone on the stage. It was a combined performance I will not soon forget.

I was so very excited to get tickets to an Elvis Costello concert. Being out of work, I really choose very carefully the venue I will attend and this concert was something I was looking forward to tremendously. I remember listening, dancing to, waiting for new songs of his to come out in the eighties. This was going to be a trip down the memory lane. Instead, Mr.Costello chose, arrogantly to play only his new music, which after a couple of songs became just unbearable to listen to. I found this to be a total disregard for his fans, who were waiting to sing along to their favourite numbers, to look at each other with shining eyes remembering their youth. I left early, after falling asleep to one of the numbers and I found out that I was not the only one. There were a lot of people leaving along with me. Mr.Costello: we love you, but you have to show your love for us as well.

First, I'm a bluegrass fan. So when I heard Elvis was teaming up with Jerry Douglas and Stuart Duncan, I had to buy the record and see the concert. For me, it was just what I was hoping for - an evening of great music, great lyrics, great musicianship. It got better as it went along, and stayed true to the spirit of bluegrass music. Elvis Costello is a true musician and incredible songwriter.

It was a good show. Wish he'd utilized the country guys a little more and been a little more twangy. Country's not my thing, but if you're going to go with a style, then go. Otherwise, great re-works of some classics and good new tunes too. Had a great time.

Enjoyed the concert. He sang songs from the past, present and future.

When you go see an Elvis show you never know what to expect. This show was no different. elvis, the band, the songs were all amazing. I felt like I was sitting in a small saloon somewhere in Tulsa. elvis' voice was, the hamonies were melodic and beautiful . The renditions of the old soner songs wer fantastic . He did several numbers from King of america which is one of my favorite albums.I've seen him 40 or 50 times and they just keep getting better and I can't wait for his next show. Who knows, it might be a Latin album knowing E.C. immense talent and diversity.

Elvis is always changing and this tour was no exception. Playing with the "Sugarcanes" this show had a country feel that was played to perfection with the new band members. Not only were they able to play the new record but also played old songs that fit there style. I would recommend that you go out of your way to see them If they come to you neck of the woods.

This was just a terrific alternative kind of Elvis show, not the typical Greatest Hits or New Album type of show. The band was tight and the selectiosn from King of America and the new album flowed beautiully.

The intense Mr Costello's performance at the Beacon Theatre (06/10/2009) was nothing short of brilliant. This blend of new & vintage songs performed in a way that gave the music new life and vitality. Elvis's vocal arrangements were spendid and with the accompanied musicians made the evening magical & mysterious.

Tremendous!!! He is a genius. Fantastic band; played for about 2.5 hours, no opening act. Great, great show.

I've seen Elvis about a dozen times over the years and he never fails to deliver. This was an "acoustic" set drawing from his latest release, Secret, Profane and Sugarcane and included one the show's highlights, a stirring renditions of How Deep Is the Red. Elvis also reached back through his large body of work and played just about everything you'd think would translate well to an all acoustic set including some you think might not such as, Everyday I Write the Book. All in all a fantastic show in one of NYC's most beautiful theaters.

If in 1977 you had told me that 30 years later I'd be loving Elvis with a large country/bluegrass ensemble, covering Merle Haggard tunes, I'd have been um, ah, skeptical. We're always up for whatever EC is doing in a given year -- but this was among the best concerts I've ever seen.

If you're an Elvis fan (which I am) then you'll enjoy this show. I've always appreciated his musical ventures down south exposing his & our country roots. As Elvis has worn many musical hats throughout his career, this show features Elvis at his country fried best. Obviously the new album Secret, Sugarcane & Profane is featured with well rounded performances from Elvis & the band. Since we were well behaved, Elvis even threw in a few of his classics for all to sing along to toward the end of the show. Like fine wine, Elvis continues to get better with age. His musicianship & stage presence prove how in command he really is & how comfortable he is with himself.

Costello's concert at the Beacon was a showcase to the genius that he is. Incredible performance by one of the most creative artists of today. The new arrangements for traditional Costello songs, such as Allison and Blame it on Cain, coupled with the songs from the new album worked exceptionally well. Costello is the King!

Great show, venue and voice. Elvis is wonderfully talented.
