While Costello's pleasant banter gave the evening an intimate feel, there was no mistaking the bite in his voice or the caustic observations in his songs. His heavy vibrato voice serves his songs well. | While Costello's pleasant banter gave the evening an intimate feel, there was no mistaking the bite in his voice or the caustic observations in his songs.

At one point Costello joked that "we do all the classics" when he took a dig at a rock journalist who thought there was a classical reference in his song "Poor Fractured Atlas" off the new album. But there is no doubt that Costello has plenty of influences from classical to jazz, and they show in his work. What other rocker but Costello could write a song with Bert Bacharach ("God Give Me Strength") and make that hybrid sound good? Costello also made another dig at Broadway's Andrew Lloyd Webber (he made one in the song "God's Comic"), and why not? Costello could blow him away if he ever turned his attention to the musical theater. | At one point Costello joked that "we do all the classics" when he took a dig at a rock journalist who thought there was a classical reference in his song "Poor Fractured Atlas" off the new album.

Only a couple of times did Costello reach back into the past ("Accidents Will Happen" and "Alison" and "Watching the Detectives" during the encore), but each of those songs sounded as fresh and vibrant as ever. It was clear as the evening wore on that Costello was enjoying himself, and the audience was, too. In a town of vapid glitz, this concert was not senseless beauty. | Only a couple of times did Costello reach back into the past ("Accidents Will Happen" and "Alison" and "Watching the Detectives" during the encore), but each of those songs sounded as fresh and vibrant as ever.
