| J-Card Comment | Elvis Costello and the Imposters Royce Hall UCLA Los Angeles, CA March 28, 2003 In 2002/2003 Elvis Costello was given the title "Artist in Residence" at UCLA. For whatever reason, he apparently ended up not doing a whole lot, but repaid the honor with two stand alone shows at Royce Hall on March 28 and 29, 2003 with the Imposters. Two great, interesting, and very unique shows. Both opened with Everybody's Cryin' Mercy - an apparent comment George Bush's nine day old Iraq War - and continued on an eclectic and subdued path. Lots of obscure tunes. Few hits. Excellent sound. Excellent mix with clear vocals. A (mostly) respectful crowd. Taped from the 10th row center. In 2003, I made a few discs and sent them to only handful of people, but the show could have made it around a bit. This is a complete remastering from the original DAT, and in my opinion a major improvement. So it you have the old one, get this one and throw your old one away. I'll post the March 29th show in a few days. Sonics>Sony D7 DAT>ProTools (for level adjustment, compression, eq, and song separation)>flac Taped and mastered by JB.
