The [[Concert 2006-07-03 Montreal|performance]] in Montreal captured here found the two musicians' bands and the co-headliners' styles assimilating seamlessly, with Toussaint not only providing juicy piano licks but rearranging Costello staples from "Pump It Up" to "Deep Dark Truthful Mirror" for the occasion. The give and take is breath-takingly sweet (case in point: Costello's raging take on "Fortune Teller"). Although Toussaint is largely relegated to the role of sideman for much of the show, his solo piano medley of classic New Orleans tunes and vocal turns on his own "Yes We Can Can" and "A Certain Girl" are really special. | ||
