Let no one be in any doubt about Elvis Costello's following in Ireland. It is loyal and it is certainly substantial. | |||
Back in Dublin after a year's absence live gigging, here Elvis treated his legion of fans to a memorable display of his singer/songwriting talents in the National Stadium on Saturday night. | |||
Versatile Attractions keyboard | The concert, cancelled since last autumn due to recording commitments, saw his fans in rare old form. And for over an hour and a half they were treated to stream of Costello classics and a taste of material to come, in songs like "TKO" and "The World and Wife." | ||
Old favourites, "You Belong To Me," "I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down," and "You Better Watch Your Step," were warmly received by the packed audience. | |||
His early hit, "Watching the Detective," brought fans rushing from their seats to dance in front of the stage at the beginning of the 25 song set. | |||
Versatile Attractions keyboard player Steve Nieve gave a brilliant display of his genius, excelling on numbers like "New Lace Sleeves," "Temptation" and "You Belong To Me" — a number on which drummer Pete Thomas nearly lost his kit in the rush. | |||
The addition of a brass q4artet to the Costello sound and stage look in the form of "TKO" went down a bomb with the audience. | |||
And the four lads with the kipper ties and crew cuts made a definite impact on numbers like "Pump It Up," "High Fidelity" and "Possession." | |||
Favourites from early albums, ''My Aim Is True,'' ''This Year's Model,'' ''Get Happy'' and ''Trust'' filled the hundred-minutes concert and for his encore, Costello treated fans to five numbers including "Oliver's Army." | |||
A major feature of the concert was undoubtedly the sound quality — strong, melodic and well knit. | |||
The gig was undeniably enjoyable and a nice introduction to his [[Punch The Clock|new LP]] due out next month. | |||
