Review by Mats Gunnors
It struck me last night at Chicago Theater that the questions of what Stu
contributes to this band were answered in part during Ain't Talkin' where
his acoustic work was creating the perfect envelope. His delightful
playing made it seem simple, natural and very relaxed. Wonderful
performance, far transcending the album version. Also incredible to me
was Masters of War, with Bob playing some insane carny-organ and Danny
managed to stay with the horror for the entire song. To me, this band
excells in a kind of pistonic staccato style, whereas in comparison the
Larry and Charlie band had a more rolling feel. Danny can play those
jazzy, slightly detached, fast riffs all night long, and they are very
good, but when it is time to cry that just does not work for me.
Sadly I found Elvis' set just left me in an anxious state. Made me want
Merle back. Most of my friends, in all fairness, loved the Costello.
