This 1983 period into and including the 1984 tour were great times ..I went to most gigs on those 2 tours even the support acts were pretty good ..the likes of Aztec camera prefab sprout the bluebells and the pogues .. Elvis and the attractions were on top form ..for me it never felt the same after that 84 tour ..was a special time to be a follower ..as for Steve nieve ? What a musician he is apart from all his wonderful contributions with the attractions ..just have a listen to him on Morrissey's 1991 album kill uncle..... finally what a contribution the TKO horns and afrodiziak made to the sound of punch the clock and the 1983 tour ..fantastic

Brilliant post Mark,completely agree 👍

[@blehoo1]

Entirely agree - saw them as a 14 year old touring the Goodbye Cruel World album at the Edinburgh Playhouse in 1984. They opened with Deportees Club. Completely blew me and everyone around me away. Saw them/him another 5 times after that over the years and never disappointed. Nothing will ever beat that first time though. Absolutely brilliant performer and The Attractions what an outstanding band.

Punch the Clock era Costello. Such an underrated album with a strong Dexy's influence.

[@adolforodolfo6929]

I haven't seen this before - stunningly good. Thank you very much.

Great video , Costello and The Attractions are flying high in this amazing period of their career!. Thanks!

[@notasbrightasicouldb]

Shipbuilding is such a heart-wrenching indelible classic. So beautiful.

[@notasbrightasicouldb]

Chet Baker makes 80s sax indelibly beautiful with this track. Was a lil girl when this was recorded. A teen when my dad told me how amazing Punch the Clock was. Have been a forever fan ever since.

[@swfcstephx]

Love Elvis Costello 👌 absolutely brilliant frontman for a great band The Attractions 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Right I'm going to now put my get happy vinyl on

[@kallek919]

This is undoubtedly one of the very best concert clips with Costello (in terms of sound and footage) that I have ever found on the internet 👍😀 My only objection is that it was way too short 😉.

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Glad you enjoyed it, unfortunately this is all that was broadcast.

[@rikwheatley5994]

There's the full version of 'Clowntime...' on a Best Of DVD, the best stuff after the credits have rolled. It really is EC's Otis moment but, unfortunately, I've not found it on YT yet.

[@johncavani1763]

I have found the full version of clown time on youtube it also has TKO on it. the tube (1982) s02e02. Much better sound quality as well enjoy

Elvis Costello forever 🤓❤

Hardly irreplaceable. Faragher is doing g absolutely fine.

[@L0REN0R2Z0RR0]

@@manoutoftime9057 Imposters do sound different, but it's hard to pin the loss of youthful energy on a single member instead of time itself, plus they've become far more versatile than the Attractions were.

[@kmlgraph]

Many people don't realize Elvis is a very good singer. He could have been a jazz singer in the style of Mel Torme or Tony Bennett.

[@adolforodolfo6929]

I think if you see him live, you soon realise it 😁

He did an terrifict job in North, Blue and Painted From The Memory. And he still creating new music after 50 years of career. He deserves better.
