Costello draws overflow crowd in Canada debut
Billboard
Toronto — Elvis Costello's two night stint at the El Mocambo, March 6-7 created a whirlwind of excitement not seen since the Rolling Stones appearance at the tame venue last spring.
Margaret Trudeau was not seen this time around, but the fortunate 300 who did make it past the front doors of the club were visibly excited by what they saw and heard.
At least 1,000 people were turned away opening night. More were similarly disappointed the second night but they had been warned in radio and press reports that a first come, first serve policy was in force. Others were content to savor the music at home via a CHUM-FM remote broadcast.
