It sounds like he morphed the two songs, Down By The River and Cowgirl In The Sand. It sounds great!

Along with Neil Young, Elvis Costello is one of the greatest and most essential song writers and performer of our generation! People do not realize what a great guitar player he is. Like Bruce Springsteen, these guys can rip but just choose not to. They are not "show offs"!

Who's the lovely backup singer (in the bronze dress) to Elvis's left?

This was great....Loved it!!!

He certainly ripped up... he ripped it to pieces. I'd be very disappointed if I was Neil.

Thanks for the upload! We used to think Elvis was gay until he did Radio Radio on SNL. He's one of the most talented musicians out there. Being a hard core Neil Young fan, I give this a total "thumbs up". Elvis fat guitar and very cool back up singer ; ) ....great rendition! Purple words on a gray background .....

@mrmusic Uh so? He's the director and out front performer. Seems like you expect him to do even more? Lighten up and enjoy a great performance!

He doesnt compare to Neil Young. Neil Young can out play and outsing this solo with an acoustic guitar.

What a great cover .Elvis Costello does this tune like Neil Young ragged ,real ,and manic

[Domdalom]

Wow this was one of the best versions of this song I have heard.

I never knew that Elvis Costello shreds until I saw this. Not only that but his intensity is on par with Neil Young with raw emotion coming out.

Thank you for posting this! Bravo!

Those backup singers are rockin' the whole "hot nerd chick" vibe..
