The Rolling what?


Robert Charles-Dunne

The El Mocambo was a zoo almost a year to the day after the much publicized appearance by the Rolling Stones. The occasion? The Toronto debut by Elvis Costello, who had the locals lining up at two in the afternoon for two days when the shows weren't due to begin until 11 p.m. Suffice it to say that over a thousand fans were turned away each night and Elvis made a deep impression here.

Joined on stage by producer Nick Lowe, Elvis ran through a variety of new and old material that had 'em dancin' on their seats, even the wife of one local radio heavy, the first time she's been seen to move at an industry function. El's already been booked for a return date in late April.

El's visit also caused CBS some political problems in that all three local FM stations claimed to have broken Costello here. The station most upset over the situation was also the last to put My Aim Is True into rotation.
