Their first two dates are pre-Christmas shows at Guildford Civic Hall {[[Concert 1981-12-21 Guildford|December 21]]} and London Rainbow ([[Concert 1981-12-23 London|23]]) then — after a brief visit to the States — Costello and the band team up with the [[Royal Philharmonic Orchestra]] to play London's Royal Albert Hall on [[Concert 1982-01-07 London|January 7]]. | |||
The new LP, produced by Billy Sherrill, also features pedal steel guitarist John McFee — and he'll be joining them on three major U.S. Concerts at Los Angeles Sports Arena ([[Concert 1981-12-29 Los Angeles|December 29]]), New York Palladium ([[Concert 1981-12-31 New York|31]]) and Nashville Grand Ole Opry ([[Concert 1982-01-03 Nashville|January 3]]).

Costello will be the first rock star to appear at the Albert Hall since the ill-fated Frank Zappa show, though the actual rock 'n' roll content is likely to be minimal — the first half will be devoted to country music and, in the second set, Elvis will perform with the 86-piece RPO. The material in this second half will be varied but, said a spokesman, "will be maximized to use the full scope of the orchestra". | Costello will be the first rock star to appear at the Albert Hall since the ill-fated Frank Zappa show, though the actual rock 'n' roll content is likely to be minimal — the first half will be devoted to country music and, in the second set, Elvis will perform with the 86-piece RPO.
