Elvis Costello and the Imposters,<br> | |||
El Rey, 5/28<br><br> | |||
Elvis Costello performed a [[Concert 2008-05-28 Los Angeles|jumbo show]] at the Hollywood Bowl with [[the Police]] earlier on Wednesday night, but apparently he was itching for more, because he and his Imposters headed up La Brea to the [[El Rey Theatre|El Rey]] on Wilshire for a late, late show. | |||
Looking solid and well-fed, the Other King, the man who has written some of western culture's bitterest love songs, wore all black, his fully-receded hairline giving way to a shock of erect black hair pointing up to the heavens. | |||
Costello and the Imposters moved from old to new, but he leaned toward his early 1980s output, which was a wonderful surprise: "[[I Hope You're Happy Now]]," "[[Everyday I Write The Book|Everyday I Write the Book]]," "[[Brilliant Mistake|King of America]]," "[[New Lace Sleeves]]," and, joy of joys, the greatest sordid hotel love song ever written, "[[Motel Matches]]." | |||
Longtime drummer [[Pete Thomas]] was having a blast with Costello, singing along with his boss, going tribal, popping the snare four times fast over and over again during the great version of "[[Green Shirt]]." | |||
Touring in support of his new album "[[Momofuku|Momofuko]]", Costello tore through some new ones, too, which were sharp and bitter Costello archetypes. Costello reappeared for a super long encore, and was joined by [[Johnathan Rice|Jonathan Rice]] and [[Jonathan Wilson]] on guitars, and [["Farmer" Dave Scher|Father Dave]] on pedal steel. | |||
Elvis | The highlight? Elvis doing [[Elvis Presley|Elvis]]' "[[Mystery Train]]." [[Jenny Lewis]] was a rumored guest, but she couldn't make it. The night ended at around two, when Costello and the crowd sang "Happy Birthday" to Rice, whose birthday was Tuesday. | ||
