My Aim Is True Revisited...Again!

By request, I'm digging back 5 years to a post from this blog about a concert commemorating the 30th anniversary of Elvis Costello's debut album, My Aim Is True. You can read the story behind this concert that features Elvis performing with the band, Clover who were the backing musicians on the album (pre-Attractions), by clicking the link to the post of the 30th anniversary of My Aim Is True. I guess technically this year is now the 35th anniversary of this classic record.

In the original post, I upped only a sample of 9 of the songs from the concert in mp3 and a link to lossless Dimeadozen. Not sure if the mp3's work, but I've been informed the Dime link is no longer valid. Sorry, I didn't correct this earlier. Below is a lossless FLAC link of the complete concert for your listening enjoyment and for those that didn't get this first time.
Enjoy!

Elvis Costello and Clover
Great American Music Hall
San Francisco, California

with guests Bill Kirchen and Austin De Lone

For the 30th anniversary of My Aim is True, and for a benefit for the child of Austin De Lone, Elvis and Clover re-created the My Aim is True album they recorded together in 1977. Clover members present were John McFee on guitar and pedal steel, Sean Hopper on keyboards and John Ciambotti on bass. Clover's drummer was unavailable and was replaced by Pete Thomas. Clover's vocalists, Alex Call and Huey Lewis, didn't participate in the 1977 recording or this concert.
