From one King to another: Monday night's fantastic in-store at Amoeba Hollywood reminded me of how much I love that other Elvis...My man did a full, rocking 70-minute set -- including spirited covers of "Friend of the Devil" and "Not Fade Away" -- yet only berated the sound guy once! (To be precise, Elvis called the poor kid onstage and then, just out of mic range, yelled "This sounds fucking horrible!") Don't let the new mandolin-and-fiddle sounds or jaunty hipster wardrobe fool you; our old Elvis can still be as pissy as ever.
By the way: from where I stood, it sounded fucking brilliant!
So grab another superduper show right here, an expansive FM broadcast from the German TV show Rockpalast. Loaded with sassy tunes from 1983's brassy Punch the Clock album, more from my personal faves Trust and Imperial Bedroom, plus a few hits, oldies and covers, this is certainly one of the essential Costello boots in any collection.
Long live the (Other) King!
