Elvis Costello (6/16/14)

Elvis Costello performed at the Palace Theatre, in what was a completely solo performance.  From what I’ve heard from every Elvis fan there - this show was superb.  Personally, not being that intimate with his music, I kinda struggled. I’m going to have to dust off the DAKS scale and give it like a 2.  Sorry Elvis - nothing personal.  I still think you’re an immense talent.

 I did catch my favorite song of his…

"While Costello makes for a great bandleader (he and his backing band the Attractions were once able to play outdoor amphitheaters), he had no trouble shifting gears to perform without any accompaniment. Throughout the two-and-a-half hour concert, he regularly joked with the audience and introduced songs with short stories about their origins. He told stories about his father and his grandfather, both of whom were musicians. And he reminisced about the times he’s played Northeast Ohio. ‘It’s probably been about 400 years since the first time I came to Cleveland,’ he said"
