Legends such as The Who, Tom Petty, Neil Young, and The Dead toured city after city giving great performances. Newer groups such as The Cure, PIL, R.E.M., and New Order also could be found on the road in America. It seemed like at least once a week there was a great concert to see. Of all these great concerts, one of the best was given by Elvis Costello. Elvis Costello has never really been a main stream rock and roll artist. His distinct voice and music has never been the type that would sell out football stadiums. Even so, he is considered by most critics as one of the most talented rock artist to date. Elvis has produced over 15 critically acclaimed albums to date. His newest album Spike is considered to be his best album yet. Two cuts of the album, "This Town" and "Veronica" have hit the top 40 and are getting a lot of air time on the radio. It is with this success that Elvis toured the country and more specifically Manchester, N.H. Elvis came on to stage with a lot of energy and kept this energy going throughout the two and a half hour concert. "Radio, Radio," "Pump it up," and "Red Shoes" all were performed with an up beat tempo and more rhythm. In the middle of the concert, the band left the stage and Costello played several songs with just an acoustic guitar This was definitely the highlight of the show. During this time, Costello performed a medley of his own songs as well as incorporating songs from other artists; such as when he performed "Everyday I Write the Book" and Paul McCartney's new single "My Brave Face." From his new album Spike, the songs "Last Boat Leaving" and "This Town" were performed with the most skill. In this summer of incredible concerts, the two and a half performance by Elvis Costello in Manchester, N.H. has to be considered one of the best. Costello never sounded better as he performed song after song.
