| SPECIAL DELIVERY
| |
| Elvis Costello & The Imposters, Usher Hall, Edinburgh
| |
| Elvis hits all the right notes.
| |
|
| |
| Byline: Tracey Martini
| |
|
| |
| DECLAN McManus has always been provocative. In 1977 he controversially adopted his idol (Elvis) and mother's maiden name (Costello).
| |
|
| |
| Two years later he allegedly said some racist things about Ray Charles. And in 1981 he was criticised for audaciously taking on Nashville with a country album, Almost Blue.Today he's still provoking people.
| |
|
| |
| Playing two-and-a-half hours of old standards and new favourites, Costello always looked like he was going to do, or say, something out of turn.
| |
|
| |
| Early number The Delivery Man is 'a number I wrote for Johnny Cash', he says, before Watching The Detectives flows into a cool-as-mince rendition of Suspicious Minds. At one point Costello sings into the pickups of a cheap guitar he bought in Mississippi. He even backchats the audience when they fail to clap loudly enough after an upbeat number: 'I thought you'd lost your gift of song, Edinburgh?'
| |
|
| |
| There's no flashy stage backdrop, no pretentious showboating. Every song is given special attention - apart from (I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea, played so fast it could have been a speed metal number. But everyone came to hear Oliver's Army. And they got it, played with lung-bursting venom.The audience danced their hearts out before Elvis (in true Elvis style) left the building without returning for an encore.
