66% of this Costello obsessed podcast took the Detour to Manchester to see the last surviving Elvis flourish in his natural habitat playing various musical instruments whilst perched on a Blue Chair.
See if they could stand up for falling down or whether they ended up speaking Pidgin English in New Amsterdam click here or down there to find out!
The obligatory poor quality pictures keep coming.
Please note Elvis is with Chuck Berry on the big screen and Chuck is playing the same guitar as Elvis is playing for real in front of the screen. It was a memorial thing.

Went to see Elvis Costello last night in Manchester. So disappointed! Only played one song I knew – I say knew because this rendition was hardly recognisable. Unfortunately, Elvis and his friend Stevie Nieve were playing as if they were in a practice session and not a very good one. Singing often out of tune, backing music over-powering and in general the performance lacked professionalism. Sorry Elvis, time to retire. We left before the end, couldn’t sit through it any longer and we weren’t alone. So sad…
