"I am the magnificent!" boomed the introduction to Dave and Ansel Collins' reggae classic "Double Barrel" as Elvis Costello took the stage at the Roseland Theater, in Portland, Oregon, on a warm Friday night. Dressed in a black suit and blue-and-purple tie, the impeccable Costello never broke a sweat in the course of his two-hour, no-encore set. Neither did the imposters - keyboardist Steve Nieve and drummer Pete Thomas from the Attractions, and efficient backup singer/bassist Davey Farragher - despite the sheer amount of effort each man was putting out. Not only did the band nail the sudden upshift from "When I Was Cruel No. 2" into "Watching the Detectives," it remodeled both. Nieve avoided the organ for most of the latter, relying on an echoed piano until the coda, and the group transformed "Cruel" from the sample-hooked downtempo of the record into a dread-laden slow rocker that could have been on Blood and Chocolate. | "I am the magnificent!" boomed the introduction to Dave and Ansel Collins' reggae classic "Double Barrel" as Elvis Costello took the stage at the Roseland Theater, in Portland, Oregon, on a warm Friday night.
