Before the Police took the stage, Costello, in trademark black-framed spectacles and backed by The Imposters, delivered a solid 40-minute opening set, blending old favourites with tunes from his latest record, ''Momofuku''. | |||
After ripping through a blistering "(I Don't Want to Go to) Chelsea," with its lilting reggae one-drop beat, and the rousing "Every Day I Write the Book," Costello gave fans what they came for with a tender rendition of the 1977 hit "Alison," from his debut album ''My Aim Is True''. | |||
With ''Momofuku'', Costello makes a slight return to his schizophrenic geek-punk roots, the rocking "American Gangster Time" and "Turpentine" striking a sharp contrast to the soft, acoustic ballad "My Three Sons." | |||
The highlight came mid-set, with longtime keyboardist Steve Nieve's swirling Wurlitzer giving way to a stark, almost tribal rendering of Watching the Detectives, before closing out with frenetic renditions of "Radio Radio," "Pump it Up" and the anthemic "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding." | |||
As the song, and set, came to an abrupt close, Costello held his Telecaster aloft and the house lights came up, leaving fans wanting more. | |||
