Subject: RE: CBC TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: bobad Date: 03 Apr 09 - 07:51 PM I read a review of the show in today's newspaper and the reviewer was praising it to the sky. He said it was very much music rather than celebrity oriented and that it really showcased the participants love of music. |

Subject: RE: CBC TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: melodeonboy Date: 11 Apr 09 - 08:54 PM If Elton John and Elvis Costello were involved, it probably was a spectacle! |

Subject: RE: CBC TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: gnu Date: 17 Apr 09 - 07:15 PM Well.... I am treated to John Cougar Melloncamp (spg?) at the present. This is becoming one of the most amazing TV music programs ever! Elvis is an amazing host... hey, if she married him, he must be quite the lad? >;-) |
|
Subject: RE: CBC TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: Stilly River Sage Date: 17 Apr 09 - 07:17 PM He hasn't used "Cougar" in decades. His record company stuck that in against his will. What program is this you're talking about? SRS |

Subject: RE: CBC TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: gnu Date: 17 Apr 09 - 07:36 PM Spectacle with Elvis Costello. It's on ATV.... locally... it's CTV... I asked in a post for a clone to fix the title back on April 3 but that did not happen. Cougar.... Yeah... but some of us still know the name, eh? June Carter... a one! What a great show about the tunes! It's fixed now (I hope). ~Mod |

Subject: RE: CTV TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: Helen Date: 18 Apr 09 - 05:12 PM In Oz we have had this show on ABC-TV for the last couple of weeks. The first one I saw was Lou Reed, and this week it was Sting and The Police. It's interesting when Elvis and the artist discuss a song and either or both get the guitar and sing a few phrases to illustrate what they are talking about. On this week's show Elvis & Sting sang an Elizabethan song by John Dowland, with Sting playing the lute, à la Sting's Songs from the Labyrinth project. At the end of the show the band, Police, and Sting and Elvis sang a medley version of Elvis's song Watching the Detectives and one of the Police songs - title escapes me - and at one stage one of them was singing the chorus of one song while the band was playing the other song. Worked well. In Oz the show is on ABC2 at 8.30pm Fridays and repeated on ABC1 at 11.30pm Thursdays. Helen |

Subject: RE: CTV TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: Eve Goldberg Date: 18 Apr 09 - 06:52 PM Hi mg, Elvis Costello is a stage name -- his given name is Declan McManus, I believe. |
|
Subject: RE: CTV TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: bobad Date: 24 Apr 09 - 06:40 PM James Taylor is tonight's guest. |
|
Subject: RE: CTV TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: gnu Date: 24 Apr 09 - 07:38 PM Yes he certainly IS! Best damn show to come long on Canuck TV for a long time! Almost back on......... |
|
Subject: RE: CTV TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: gnu Date: 24 Apr 09 - 08:04 PM THAT was great! Next week, Diana Krall, who is just amazing. And Elvis is bowing out as host?? Hehehehe! Not a bad guest-host, though.... Elton John. Hey, if yer gonna get spelled off from hosting the wife? HEY! It's a joke eh? |
|
Subject: RE: CTV TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: gnu Date: 01 May 09 - 07:05 PM She's on now. |
|
Subject: RE: CTV TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: gnu Date: 01 May 09 - 07:21 PM Oh my.... she's ON! What a lesson in music. I know we all know know tempo and delivery, but she just demonstrated the ultimate lesson. Ah, sorry... maybe I just have the hots for her? Nah. She's an amazing artist. And she's hot. |
|
Subject: RE: CTV TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: gnu Date: 01 May 09 - 08:04 PM Oh my... oh... I said that already. Oh my! What an amazing display of talent. Krall, Costello and John. This series is just wild with talent. And true insight. |

Subject: RE: CTV TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: Duke Date: 02 May 09 - 08:42 AM I must admit that this show has opened up a whole new world of music for me. Most of my life I've listened to nothing but folk. I've nothing against other kinds of music, of course, but when I sit down and relax with some music its always been folk. As I get older I've found out that there is all kinds of beautiful music out there as this show has pointed out to me. |
|
Subject: RE: CTV TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: gnu Date: 09 May 09 - 05:55 PM Indeed... the genius of the show seems to be it's in depth investigation of the hearts and souls and circumstances in such a professional and personal manner, aside from displaying the music itself. No "bubblegum" here. Case in point... Bill Clinton in a couple of hours... now tell me this ain't one of the most amazing TV shows about music ever! |

Subject: RE: CTV TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: bobad Date: 09 May 09 - 06:32 PM Well he does blow a sax. |
|
Subject: RE: CTV TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: gnu Date: 09 May 09 - 06:38 PM Oops! Forgot to mention.... the show airs on Bravo TV 9PM ASDT tonight... for me. CTV on Friday night. |

Subject: RE: CTV TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: gnu Date: 22 Mar 10 - 01:54 PM Beer just sent me a YT link with Jessie Winchester singing on Spectacle. I saw the show on the weekend. It was top notch. Here's a link to Spectacle if you want to see what's coming up. Here's the link Beer sent me. There are other songs from the program too. |
|
Subject: RE: CTV TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: gnu Date: 22 Mar 10 - 03:10 PM Better for seeing what's coming up. |
|
Subject: RE: CTV TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: bobad Date: 22 Mar 10 - 07:13 PM Jesse's song is very touching, so much so that it brings tears to Neko Case's eyes. I saw Jesse perform it this past summer at Adrien's festival and I had to get the CD just for it (the other tunes ain't too shabby either). The comments at the YouTube link demonstrate the power of song to move people and are also revealing of the fact that many had not heard of Jesse before this appearance. |

Subject: RE: CTV TV Spectacle with Elvis Costello From: Beer Date: 22 Mar 10 - 08:56 PM In my approximate 10 minutes I spent with him I left as if I had been speaking to some guru. I remember very little of the festival due to the constant energy being spent on making sure everyone is happy and finding immediate solution to unexpected situations. But Jessie I found to be so humbling that he will remain very very special to me. Beer (adrien) |
