The set from Elvis Costello and the Attractions was the second last act for Heatwave, as Canadian band, The Kings came on after midnight to close the show. This Heatwave appearance was the only 1980 live concert for Elvis Costello and the Attractions in North American. A spectacular 23 song, double encore set must surely have been the highlight for the day, as Elvis was touring to support his album, Get Happy!! An amazing show!

ELVIS COSTELLO- Heatwave 1980. rar
Very good blog.
ReplyDeleteActually NOT the highlight- that would have to go to the TALKING HEADS for the debut of the REMAIN IN LIGHT sound just before the COSTELLO set. I had seen Costello phone it in at a Missouri show the year before, but the HEADS raised the HEATWAVE bar so high that ELVIS had to BRING IT! and he did
