Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Description:

Live from the peak of E. Costello & The Attractions' early years in August 1980 at a festival featuring Talking Heads, The Pretenders, B-52's and others.After the release of the album "Get Happy" in February of the same year, i.e., the band's early peak! Generally more up-tempo than the record! The band members compete with each other to play the phrases and intertwine with each other, and the performance is unquestionably cool! Pete Thomas' drumming, which pounded out a pounding 8-beat beat! Bruce Thomas' swirling bass! Steve Naive's keyboard, which changes tone without care with synths and piano and inserts phrases excessively! And Costello, who spits and shouts while strumming his electric guitar! This is the ideal recording of The Attractions that fans have come to expect from the band. The climax of the song, (16)RADIO,RADIO→(17)PUMP IT UP→(18)PEACE,LOVE&~→(19)I CAN'T STAND UP FOR~, is especially impressive! (C)Shinjuku Store:Tatsuya Murakoshi
