Elvis Costello is in my top 5.
Having said that, I developed an even deeper love for him after hearing two songs: “Sweet Pear” from Mighty Like a Rose and a live version of “Possession” that was a bonus track on an album’s CD reissue.
Both feature the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. No surprise there.
Imagine my delight at finding this entire concert when I searched for that live version of “Possession.” This isn’t the Dirty Dozen, but it’s pretty hot. I’ve cued it up for that track, the second in the set.
