Herlig rundtur med Elvis

En stort bedre utekonsert i Trondheim med Elvis Costello & co enn den vi fikk torsdag kveld, er strengt tatt urealistisk.

Terje Eidsvåg


Elvis Costellos første konsert i Trondheim startet som en triumfferd, slapp seg løs i mange retninger underveis og tok seg strålende inn med en finale som gjør at det samlet sett er vanskelig å se for seg at han kunne herjet så mye bedre i Borggården.

Han konsentrerte seg om materiale fra sitt første og siste knippe plater og lot det meste av 80- og hele 90-tallet ligge. 22 sanger på 90 minutter, inkludert syv coverversjoner ble en kraftpakke, hvor mye fungerte fortreffelig. Bare at par av de mest spretne, energiske sangene viste at det begynner å bli ganske lenge siden 1978.

Bandet han spiller med er strengt tatt The Attractions, bare at originalbassist Bruce Thomas er byttet ut med amerikanske Davey Faragher, som også begynner å bli veteran. Han har i år 20-årsjubileum for sin debut i Trondheim, da i bandet til John Hiatt på Skansen.

To av grunnene til at Costello på noen vis låter minst like bra som noen gang, er Steve Nieve og Pete Thomas. Tangentmann Nieve gyver friskt løs på gamle sanger, med lekne vrier som gjør at det ikke låter som "same procedure…". Pete Thomas er en no-nonsense-trommis av fineste slag, effektiv motsats til Nieves "mad professor"-tilnærming.

Om Costello har mistet litt av den frenestiske energien fra første del av karrieren, har han vokst stort som sanger, musikant og scenepersonlighet. Etter energisk start med en perlerekke fra 1978-80 innledningsvis, gjenskapte han 80-tallsperlen "Everyday I Write The Book" i forsterket soulmodus.

Gamle favoritter vekslet med sanger fra de fire siste platene. Noen av dem sto seg forbausende godt mot de gamle favorittene, særlig groove-orienterte "Bedlam" og mellomkrigstidsnovellen "Jimmies Standing In The Rain", som skinte sterkere fra scenen, sammen med gamle klassikere, enn på sine respektive plater.

I motsetning til mange artister med 30-40 år lange karrierer bak seg, høres det at Costello fortsatt er fan av musikk. Det kommer for eksempel til uttrykk i coverversjonene, med to strålende versjoner av sanger av hans gamle venn Nick Lowe og en overraskende, sjarmerende likefram versjon av lighterballaden til Prince, "Purple Rain".

At Johnny Cash-låta bare satt sånn passe, ble mer enn veid opp av en tett, intens versjon av Sam & Daves "I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down", bedre enn originalen. Konserten dabbet merkelig nok litt da den skulle nærme seg klimaks. 78-favorittene "Chelsea" og "Pump It Up" fikk liv i 50-åringene foran scenen, men de låt seigere enn bare godt var.

Heldigvis kom «I Want You» og feide tilløpene til skepsis av banen. Det intense pasjonsdramaet glødet fortsatt, og hans versjon av "What's So Funny 'Bout Peace Love & Understanding" er så lidenskaplig, medrivende rock'n roll med hjerte og sjel at finere punktum skal godt gjøres.

Wonderful tour with Elvis

A better outdoor concert in Trondheim with Elvis Costello & co than we had on Thursday night, is strictly unrealistic.

English via Google Translate...

Elvis Costello's first concert in Trondheim started as a triumph, was let loose in many directions along the way and took the brilliant in with a finale that makes it a whole is difficult to imagine that he could ravaged so much better Borggården.

He concentrated on material from their first and last bunch of plates and allowed most of the 80s and throughout the 90s lie. 22 songs in 90 minutes, including seven cover versions became a powerhouse, how much did extremely well. Just that few of the most feisty, energetic songs showed that it is becoming quite a while since 1978.

The band he plays with is strictly The Attractions, only the original bassist Bruce Thomas is replaced with the American Davey Faragher, which is also starting to become veteran. He has this year's 20th anniversary of his debut in Trondheim, when the band of John Hiatt at Skansen.

Two of the reasons Costello on some show tunes at least as good as ever, Steve Nieve and Pete Thomas. Tangent Man Nieve fresh bursts loose on old songs, with playful twists that make it not sound like "same procedure ...". Pete Thomas is a no-nonsense drummer of the finest kind, effective counterweight to Nieves "mad professor" approach.

If Costello has lost some of the frenestiske energy from the first part of his career, he has grown big as a singer, musician and stage personality. After energetic start with a pearl series from 1978 to 1980 initially, recreated his 80s gem "Everyday I Write The Book" in reinforced soul mode.

Old favorites alternated with songs from the last four discs. Some of them stood up remarkably well against the old favorites, especially the groove-oriented "Bedlam" and the wartime novel " Jimmie Standing In The Rain", which shone stronger from the stage, along with old classics, than on their respective boards.

Unlike many artists with 30-40 years-long careers behind them, it sounds that Costello is still a fan of music. It comes as reflected in cover versions, with two brilliant versions of songs by his old friend Nick Lowe and a surprisingly charming straight version of the lighter ballad of Prince, "Purple Rain".

That Johnny Cash song just sat like fit, was more than offset by a dense, intense version of Sam & Dave's " I Can not Stand Up for Falling Down" , better than the original. The concert faded a bit strange enough when it was approaching climax. 78-favorites " Chelsea" and "Pump It Up" came to life in 50-year-olds in front of the stage, but they sounded tougher than just good luck.

Fortunately, "I Want You" and swept tributaries skepticism of the court. The intense passion drama glowed still, and his version of " What's So Funny' Bout Peace Love & Understanding" is so passionate, riveting rock and roll with heart and the soul that finer point shall be demonstrated.
