Elvis Costello: Bochum, Germany 

Century of Song 21-May-2004

Interesting venue. An old warehouse in an industrial area. Pretty cool though. There was natural light coming in from the windows above throughout the entire first half of the show. Elvis played with Bill Frisell and his band for a series of shows called "Century of Song". Interesting set list, good show. Unfortunately, Elvis cancelled the second night of this show and Wouter couldn't go.  Fashion report: Elvis wore a purple/green paisley shirt, no tie. 

We had a lovely weekend in Germany with our friends Dirk and Martina in Muenster. They are wonderful hosts and Ian had a great time too. Unfortunately, we discovered upon our return that Master Ian Declan is most likely sporting spotty red chicken pox blotches!

 

The venue...Jahrhunderthalle in Bochum, Germany. A very old warehouse with a newly added front hall. Lots of press here for the show.

The set list from the second half. Would have liked it from the first half since there's a song that none of us could figure out!
