My 7th Elvis Costello show in the past 20 years. There are pluses and minuses for any artist to go solo. The plus was a relaxed intimacy with the audience unlike the other shows. He talked about his songs and his experiences in way no one who'd been to an anger-tinged, post-punk Attractions show of the 70s would ever dream of. And, of course, he drew upon every end of his extensive catalog leave nothing untouched.
While some senior members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame have seen their vocal talents wane, Costello can hit all of his original notes in soft whispers and exuberant howls.
Great venue for this kind of act. They've been booking more of these acoustic/solo shows with real headliners. I hope they're encouraged to try it again.
Great music by a great artist!
