| 1. Live At Hollywood High/The Costello Show Vol. 2 | 
|
By: Elvis Costello And the Attractions January 12, 2010
This is Elvis at his finest, angriest time. Good sound quality (considering it was 1978!). Great set list, all classics. Well worth buying!!
ONE WORD OF CAUTION...do not buy this disc thinking it is part 2 to Live At Hollywood High!! It says The Costello Show 2, but this is just the same disc under a different title!!... more

By: Elvis Costello May 01, 2007
Undeniably great music, but energy literally peters out to slow, maudlin that about pitched me into catatonia. Perhaps I prefer only first 5 years. ... more

|
By: Elvis Costello & The Attractions September 29, 2009
Hello E.C. Fans, Just want to let fans know that this is NOT the full set. It's still missing the encores played that evening with Nick Lowe! If they are going to re-release this yet again,it would have been nice to finally have the whole gig. Just wanted to let people know,for an "archive " release that is a pretty shabby thing to do. Besides the fact, that the encores are really fun... more

|
By: Elvis Costello May 01, 2007
Brisk and informed rock debut from this thinking class hero had all the touchstones of a noteworthy first release even if a majority of tricks were stated right away in the first track- intelligent yet catchy structures fused with multiple styles to create something fresh for aggressive as well as slow songs. ... more

By: Elvis Costello & the Attractions May 01, 2007
Someone else may have mentioned this already, but if not, I think many have overlooked a most important component of the genesis and passion of this album. Let me see if memory serves...
As I recall, this album was indeed the boom following the lit fuse dynamite of the first album, but where did all the intensity come from? Very much like Frank Sinatra's masterpiece recording In the... more

By: Elvis Costello & the Attraction May 01, 2007
Highly relevant to how one appreciates EC's third album is the quality of the production. While the quality of the songs and songwriting is as great as the other reviewers state, many were turned off by the 'Wall of Sound' production values introduced on this third album. I still feel that all of the reverb and track layering, although often suited to the thematic content, mars my experience of these... more

| 10. The River in Reverse | 
|
From: Verve Forecast June 06, 2006
The most searing of musical indictments during 2006 didn't come from some young buck MC or a snorting enraged punk band. It came from a pair of wizened musical vets. Elvis Costello teamed up with Allen Toussaint and dropped this amazing 13 song collaboration that both celebrates the spirit of New Orleans' music makers at the same time it ravages those that willingly stood off and averted their eyes... more
