Notes -
- commentary by Bonnie Simmons during the encore breaks
- the "Crawling Through The USA" bootleg torrented in 2007 included eight tracks from this concert.
I had a vynal copy of EC 50,000.000 can't be wrong. The first disc which was a comp of various SB shows is outstanding. Look for it if you can.
ReplyDeletethanks narrow dog, will keep an eye out maybe someone has done a vinyl rip
DeleteI never heard this one before. Love that 77 US invasion material!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this and many others!
Your welcome, there would have been a lot more US broadcasts through '79 and the early 80's if it hadn't been for the unfortunate Ray Charles incident.
ReplyDeleteYes! Miss Bramlett was certainly not a pacifist hippie!
ReplyDeleteThanks much for posting. Have heard several shows from this tour but EC sounds a bit more focused on the lyrics here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a career he's had. A world-class treasure who is under-appreciated these days, probably because he's never really tried to be what he was expected to be.
Indeed, he is also such a great fan of music and very knowledgeable about its history.
ReplyDeleteSomething from the latter years will appear in the future
Thankyou for the early Costello, The American shows from
ReplyDeletethis era sound a little more 'guarded' than the UK shows.
First saw Costello in 1979, have been to over 30 shows
over the years and never been disappointed by any of
his guises. A world-class treasure indeed. Cheers
Thank you so much for sharing this, and the rest of your collection. There is some great and interesting stuff on your pages.
ReplyDeletecheers Dave, plenty more good music to come
ReplyDeleteThanks for this one. From easily my favourite Costello period, from which I enjoy pretty much everything he did. Cheers!
