''' Elvis Costello And The Attractions <br> | |||
Barbican Centre, York | |||

Some groups can't play live without taped backing. But for Elvis Costello, using a tape means starting his Saturday show with an extract from the royal Mills and Boon, ''Princess In Love''. | |||
Coming on last, behind his re-grouped Attractions, arms aloft and grinning, he launched into "Green Shirt," no doubt a dig at ex-Army boy James Hewitt. | |||
It was to be the only moment of subversion from the former angry young man. | |||
Elvis and '94 Attractions are more Puck than punk, more style than bile. | |||
Costello the chameleon has done it all: solo, acoustic, mock-Motown, gameshow entertainer, weird beard. This year's model has entered his venerable Van Morrison phase, belting out perfunctory versions of many hits and adding a showman flourish to others. | |||
"It's taken us quite a while to get here: 17 years," he said, sounding ominously hoarse. | |||
In fact, the sound mix was so abominable, it could have been a gig from 17 years ago. | |||
Costello's Attractions paraded their still brilliant skills, particularly on new tracks like "Clown Strike" and "Rocking Horse Road." | |||
But where were the alternative takes on the classics, or the unexpected cover versions? | |||
Elvis lives... on past glories. | |||
