I'm sure you know the feeling. On the way to a concert, or gig as it is sometimes termed, by one of your favourite artists, you are desperately hoping that it's going to be great, and you secretly fear that it's going to be crap. This was my feeling upon entering the latest installment of the Elvis Costello show. | |||
