Review of concert at 1999-10-22: Camden, NJ, Blockbuster-Sony Music Entertainment Centre
Elvis Costello & Steve Nieve
- Joe Wengert [manutbol@UDel.Edu]

 

I was also present at the Tower in June, and this was, in my opinion, a far better show. Both Elvis and Steve sounded even better than in June, and the set list was unbelievable. The crowd was very receptive, and Elvis and Steve both appeared to be having a great time. After the sixth song, Elvis invited the crowd to come down to the stage, and about half of the place ran down and stood for the rest of the show. (Luckily my second row seats enabled me to get really close to the stage).

The new songs were all great."I Want You" was a highlight again, as was the new bossa nova version of "Clubland." I was really surprised by "Oliver's Army" & "King Horse," and ending with "Favourite Hour" was perfect. Best concert I've ever been to.
