Elvis Costello live 1983: Clubland, Pump It Up (stereo)

[musoshi]

Another video of an outstanding performance from Mr. Costello and the Rockpalast.

Seriously, the backup singers, the brass; it all fits so fucking perfectly!

Unnecessary and totally dominated by how great the musicians are, yes, but off-key? Afrodiziak are on their game here. I agree about that part of the song, though; "the long arm of the law slides up the outskirts of town" is such a fucking wonderful line and it deserves a MICROPHONE.

Do ya think you could get your ass back to the fuckin' mic for my favorite part of the song Elvis? And ditch the off key bck, vox. Great song on studio version tho, no doubt. In fact, from my fave EC LP., Trust.

What song were they playing before this? I've never heard organ playing like that in an Elvis Costello song.

The song they played before "Clubland" was "Beyond Belief".
