| '''Cold Costello sings again from his toes
| |
|
| |
| After twenty minutes Elvis Costello did his hearing a strange proposal: shall we stop and fix another date for this concert, or should I still try to bring it to a successful conclusion ... with my voice affected by a virus?
| |
|
| |
| The audience seemed beaten dumb. Indeed, until then sounded lame, but that did not so much lie. To Costello's voice Drums, keyboards, bass and guitar were completely out of balance, the overall sound was bad offensive, hunted played the opening numbers were only fragments have been identified. Somehow it seemed the first song on [[Blue Chair]], and in the distance you could discern rules [[Beyond Belief]], and fell through a lot whimper indeed you could distinguish a shadow of [[Radio, Radio]].
| |
|
| |
| On paper an opening to lick your fingers, but so bad had not sounded in the Utrecht Vredenburg years.
| |
|
| |
| A serious public survey it did not come. After some grumbling in the room the sick singer concluded that he should continue. Who or what gave him that insight was not clear, but his decision was the right one. The two hours that followed, the books as Costello at best . Costello was provoked, desperately seeking and fighting with himself. Costello as we have not experienced. Since those two decades it may be that he is technically a better singer, his self-assurance that derived from it began to decline. Irritating proportions
| |
|
| |
| In Vredenburg he had to fight again, and with whom he could do better than his old companions with [[The Attractions]]. With another bassist ([[Davey Faragher]]) they are now called The Imposters and like no other they were able colds their patron by pilots. Been set The flamboyant keyboards of [[Steve Nieve]] and the solid drumming of [[Pete Thomas]] adorn the numbers of Costello's best. All collaborations from the past with string quartets and the [[The Metropole Orkest| Metropole Orchestra]] notwithstanding.
| |
|
| |
| This Imposters he finally made last [[The Delivery Man]], again a good album. But it was the surprising choices from his old catalog that made the evening so memorable . Many hits , [[Alison]] , [[(I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea|Chelsea]], [[Good Year For The Roses]] and the final ne played from the toes [[I Want You]]. Most beautiful of all was [[Psycho]], a b-side from 1981, one of the finest cover versions ever put on vinyl.
| |
|
| |
| This song was the turning point of the evening , while [[Clubland]] and [[High Fidelity]] proved how much classic Costello numbers have become after a quarter of a century.
| |
|
| |
| A hushed [[The Scarlet Tide]] was the perfect end to a night that loomed over the years wiped doubts about the sustainability of Elvis Costello. The sick Costello was a good unpredictable Costello.
