I went to see Elvis Costello

Many years ago I went to see Van Morrison, when he came out for the encore, Elvis Costello joined him and they performed together.

I saw him soon after his first album. He did most of the songs from his second album which hadn't been released yet. A good show even though no one was familiar with most of the songs.

I saw him on Saturday Night Live when got partway into a song and then stopped and did "Radio Radio" and was banned for years. I was waiting outside Peaches, a huge record store, the next morning when they opened. I was sure there would be a big rush to get his album. They had a few copies. I seemed to be the only one who cared.

I am almost embarassed to admit, i wasnt always the biggest fan, but over time, and listening to some of his deep cuts rather than just the songs that made it on to radio back in the day ( does anyone remember radio? 🤔 Well, anyhoo, ive come to appreciate Elvis Costello and this song is very soulful indeed. Thanks for sharing .

I saw him back in the 90s. I won free tickets from a radio station by being the 1st caller

I've seen Elvis twice. Once in the 70's and once in the 80's.

I liked his music more back then. It was edgier and more militant (not much interpretation needed for "you'll never make a lampshade out of me")

Soulful! Nice to see him still going strong and making good music. He's almost a contemporary of mine (two years older) and I first heard him in 1977.

At Bexhill, ten years ago. His rendition of ‘She’ was out of this world. It was a pre tour venue.

I have his Juliet Letters.

Are you in NY? Randall's Island is practically in my front yard 😊

He is still bringing it.

Are he and Diana Krall still together?

I saw him with The Impostors, opening for The Police. They got standing ovations!
