Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Rockpalast 6-15-78 (Part 2)

[ThadEnouf]

I've always appreciated the cleverness and literacy of his lyrics.

[jonaggod]

Woww!!! Elvis was never known for his solos--not his bag. But the best solo I think I've heard from him is brilliant (middle of "The Beat").

[MrDarkbloom]

Brillian. Just brilliant.

[MrDorkusMaximus]

Excellent performance by a tight band, and EC is godlyke. Thanks for posting this video.

[brianallancobb]

Can somebody please repost this louder?

I'm deaf as a shovel. I squeeze the headphones to my head and it's still just a whisper.

Thank you.

[MrDorkusMaximus]

@brianallancobb I sympathize, I'm losing my hearing, too. I recommend purchasing an "inline" headphone amplifier. They aren't very expensive. Just be sure that the one you buy has a volume control on it, and the right size jacks/plugs on it to fit the plugs on your headphones and audio output device jack. Also, with the right size plug/jack adapters, you can move it along with the headphones to whatever device you need, such as between computer, home stereo, boom box, etc.

@MrDorkusMaximus too geeky for early ec & the a's but luv ya anyway !

[brianallancobb]

Steve Nieve, the organist, is only twenty. What a trip that must have been for him.

Nobody ever moved me like Elvis. This Elvis.

Until this video I don't think I ever heard Night Rally. Is it on Armed Forces? I lost track of him after the first two.

@brianallancobb It is on This Years Model. A slightly different version (in my estimation better) is on the "Girls Girls, Girls" compilation.

@wpollock1

And there I thought I had This Year's Model memorized.

What are the first two lines Costello's singing in this version of Two Little Hitlers? According to published lyrics they are "Why are we racing to be so old? I'm up late pacing the floor, I won't be told" but it sounds more like "We got some praising, lo and behold. I'm up late pacing the floor I won't be told" The final lines are changed as well.

Thanks for uploading. I was a teenage fan of Elvis Costello and, equally the Attractions. Not a big fan of musical nostalgia but this is a fantastic gig!

[MrOoppoddoo]

Thank you.

[funkyjeepster]

THIS IS AWESOME!!!

WHERE CAN I GET A COPY OF THIS?

[mrpicky510]

That drummer is a beast!!!

[muttilo]

@mrpicky510 Saw he bout 5 years ago with EC and the Imposters and he's still drumming like a freak !

[9catsproductions]

I miss Rock 'n' Roll. Thanks for the Video!

[wpollock1]

At 7:45, you think he is really into the music? Ya thinK? Night Rally has to be the most under rated song he has. This was a real treat.

[VTECheart]

@wpollock1

Hell yeah. Night Rally is bloody fantastic.

[flipey]

7:25, Elvis at his best ¡¡¡

[avatar2005]

Two Little Hitlers is one of his most brilliant songs....THANKS FOR UPLOADING THIS VIDEO!

[suburiboy]

5:10 is Elvis shredding? i've never seen that from him before.

[bigkitten]

Live just as good as the recorded stuff! THAT'S talent for you!
