You can see that this guy is not really a rocker. He is all Tin Pan Alley. That is great, too, because he can rock. What we have here is a virtuoso musician who can do rock n roll.
Un-be-liev-able! This man is one of the greatest contributors to modern popular music of the late 20th and early 21st century. "Genius" is not a misused term when it comes to Declan MacManus
Fabulous! Can never get enough of his voice! I've seen him do Allison/Caught in a Trap many times but never with tracks of my tears.

I prefer him in small, less formal venues. He looks out of place on a huge stage with an orchestra behind him.

Linda Ronstadt recorded Costello's songs in the late 70s putting him on the rock & pop charts.
Elvis thanked her by saying the only bad thing about his songs was that Ronstadt sang them. He went on to call Ray Charles a whore.
Alternative music fans & critics applauded Costello's "purist" remarks.
Ronstadt left rock & pop music and recorded uncommercial Mexican, folk & Cuban music.
"Purist" Costello went on to record albums with commercial pop stars Hall & Oates and Paul McCartney.

Elvis was on fire this evening, his conversation with the audience was awesome and his singing was unbelivable.
