Elvis Costello is my Bob Dylan. I don't think I can say it any'r plainer....

[@Johntb100]

MY HERO!!!! I've said the same and have never heard anybody else share the same thought!!!!

Elvis seems so much more comfortable with himself on stage than when he burst on the music scene in the last 70's.

[@havingagr8time]

Pure brilliance. I was obsessed with his first five or six albums in my late teens and early twenties, and it's great to hear this different version of him. I love both the originals and these live versions. He's a genius!

[@veronicablazer]

I genuinely love Elvis Costello & his music, and I feel honored that my mom named me after his song Veronica 🥲🤍 Every time i hear it, i try to picture her life in ‘95, listening to his album Spike, and then deciding to name me after one his songs.

[@alycats99]

To hear him play these songs in a small club would slay me.

[@vinny9708]

Couldn't agree more

Elvis my poet - of my life's mind... I love EC

[@stainspecialist]

Such an under-appreciated artist

[@catherinefitzpatrick9144]

Me, myself, and I + 10’s of millions (gotta be, right?) of fans of his, Very Much Appreciate this unusually gifted, clever wordsmith....and he puts all of ‘that’ to great music, besides! That’s leaps and bounds above what any prolific poet or writer of anything has ever done! That’s mind blowing; and How did he get to be so Damn Good? I made my bed AND dinner and called it a special day because I did more than I could-do yesterday. Weird how it goes....but people like me NEED musicians like EC, and other favorites. In fact, it was Elvis’s songs that I used as my joy while I cooked. God Bless Elvis! And I thank you, Mr. Costello, for all of the songs you’ve done that have connected so many ‘dots’ along my journey of life. The friends I’ve shared your music with - some of those relationships were deeply, permanently, and profusely changed by your artistry! All for the good, of course! As a teen, I can remember hearing your early stuff with my best friend....it was love at first-listen, and it only grew. That’s pretty heavy! We could feel the transformation happening to us; we’re just about to go off to college, and then ‘real adult life’ would follow. You made Everything Better when we needed you. Thank You!!!

[@vincentvancraig]

Just found this.....holy fuck its great

[@MichaelB-gi4lt]

If they had Elvis Costello as the finale instead of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers the ending to Woodstock 99 would have been a lot less sexual assault and destruction. What’s so funny about peace, love and understanding? Elvis is truly an exceptional artist. Listener since March of 1978.

[@peterchandler9014]

He's timeles with his music which I always think is so different met him in person whilst doing his security in London at Tower Records .....was surreal

[@juandediosgarcia5737]

Elvis Costello es uno de los mejores compositores pop de la historia, pero muy poca gente se dio cuenta en ese concierto. El público de Woodstock no estuvo a la altura.

[@jakebp]

I have seen him perform life six or seven times (easily the best "moment" was at The Tabernacle in Atlanta where he did "I Want You" just with him and his guitar) - but they were all brilliant (even him and Allen Touissaint) - but this crushes all of them.

[@worldasillusion]

He is in excellent form here. Beautiful.

[@georgesmith4639]

Proof that you dont have to resort to stupid overused cliches in lyrics. An interesting story in just about every song he wrote.

[@jamj1877]

Amazing artist!

El "otro Elvis", grande Costello!!!!...amo tu música.

[@craigd4636]

thanks for posting this! I was there, waiting to see my young self. I was so excited to see Elvis, and Mike Ness the most. great time either way, and what a great show Elvis put on.

[@dragankostic26]

you real?

[@vinny9708]

Thanks for posting

[@joeceonnia5361]

I do Love Elvis Costello!! Even singing a Burt Bacharach song...

[@Ckom-Tunes]

Thanks for this! I saw him do this set live and it is as brilliant as I remember it!

[@crystalpentz1874]

He was phenomenal.

[@completeMonti]

Can this possibly be the same event and venue that has been featured in two recent documentaries about an ultra-violent, dangerous, Woodstock '99 filled with disaffected attendees? I mean, look at this! I think this EC performance shows that you *can* put on a successful ultra-large festival if your talent is of *this* caliber, sends a more positive message to the crowd, elicits the right kind of energy, and the audience wants to chill out long enough to hear what you're singing. I'm an EC fan, so I may be prejudiced. And I'm not naive about the other problems that plagued the event as a whole --- but watching this, compared to the documentaries of Woodstock '99, is jaw-dropping. And Elvis going onstage with just his guitar and pianist Steve Naive was a bold move for a big crowd. But it looks like it worked.

[@RandomNonsense1985]

I think this was early on in the festival before everything went to shit. Bruce Hornsby also had a pretty cool set here.

[@completeMonti]

@@RandomNonsense1985 I'll check out the Hornsby set. But Elvis performed on Sunday, July 25, so it was nearer to the end, as I understand it.

[@Johntb100]

still great

[@joeceonnia5361]

Elvis is the best lyricist, next to Bob Dylan and It's my belief Bruce Springsteen(Americana) ... Elvis Costello (British Hero of Music) will be looked back in history as one of the very best! Let's not forget the rest of the Brits Invasion of Music...Which was Americana re-regurgitated

[@charlesdoherty9879]

Joe Ceonnia , i agree with you about the songwriters Dylan is number 1 followed by the Boss, Elvis Costello is in there too , fabulous, and don’t forget another musical genius, the late great Tom Petty .

[@hansjensen594]

New York To San Diego I was there for All the good music 🎶 Lots of naked people dancing and rocking out to the bands

[@mamalama7204]

I love you Elvis, I really do.

[@SurvivalAussie]

Legend

[@Johntb100]

oh yeah

[@gplunk]

The shots of the crowd are priceless....

[@gplunk]

His cover of 'I'll Never Fall In Love Again' by Burt Bacharach was truly superb....

[@matthewmcfall8465]

Gee this is good

[@barbarahourigan8462]

People cuddling to "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" is so hilarious

[@crystalpentz1874]

Saw him at Woodstock.

[@Agrigentozoom]

A mentő alapítvány reklámja rohadt jó!

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

surprised, for this crowd, no "oliver's army".

[@okrajoe]

Is he in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet?

[@mikatile]

Nope. And he doesn't need to establishment endorsement. R&R hall of fame is a shit bag.

[@oiyabastard7275]

okrajoe is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame worthy of him yet

[@steveheck4348]

Yes he is with The Attractions!

[@LOCKEYJ]

Drink Paint he is and was when the original comment was posted.

[@sratus]

@@mikatile errr he is

[@perfectsims]

❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@mlwsf]

How bold and brave was it of him to take a stage this size with just a guitar and a piano player? Fucking James Brown and P-Funk had about 30 people on stage and didn't sound half as good

[@jmm1000]

this crowd was badly wanting a dance set & rockin band. Great show - for a coffeehouse

[@BookClubDisaster]

What model Martin is that?

[@vincegedeon6583]

Why on God's earth didn't he have his whole band geeze

[@alycats99]

Right??

[@mattgilbert7347]

Probably because he couldn't be arsed.

[@ciaranosullivan9352]

He had a falling out with his bass player bruce thomas who was a vital part of the attractions sound.

[@JAOB1968]

Does not really sound like he needs them

[@dragan0405]

Had to try dry

[@lauraball445]

Breaking news, water wading, brings a greater breakthrough!

[@carpenoctem775]

I think after all the rowdy bands at that festival, they needed someone to chill out the crowd.

[@opinionday0079]

Most of the american folk seem to be looking on in puzzlement proberly wondering who the hell is this guy.

[@StickmanCyclops]

So this is the concert with at least documentaries talking about how bad the audience was and how it was a bunch of "hateful young white males", eh?.....I'm seeing a very respectful audience here to Elvis, applauding and singing along, of all ages.

[@RandomNonsense1985]

The meatheads didn’t come out of the woodwork until later on in the day. They’re out in full force during Alanis Morrissette’s set yelling for Limp Bizkit to come out.

[@danschreffler1280]

No one knew the words! Respectful though!

[@scottpecorino6320]

Who are the trusted?

[@mattgilbert7347]

And where is the harmony?

[@roydagger]

The crowd doesn't seem too into this.

[@tomcarl8021]

Acoustic set for a crowd that big? No way. And Elvis's lyrics are impossible to understand in such a large crowd, so what's the point?

[@djangoyorke9770]

No Oliver's Army? I would have been so pissed off I would have broke stuff and then set it on fire.

[@lyndagomes7132]

So...YOU must be one of those "...hateful young white males" the documentaries refer to. Way to go, BOZO!

[@mecetnoca]

LOL.

[@recipehacker9752]

Those losers at Woodstock 99 were more interested in setting shit on fire than the king, Elvis

[@manuelitoperbera6592]

😩😩😩😩so sleepy. I'm waiting for some other guys to arrive. but it's him and his acoustic guitar ad the guy on keyboad...but he keeps complaining on Morrissey's music..

[@lyndagomes7132]

Morrissey WISHES he was half the man EC is...that fucking whining SNOT!

[@Pascal5207_]

He only "complained" about Mozzes music once. If you can even call it that. This is Woodstock, not some metal concert. He does not need a full orchestra to spread his message.

[@agustinortega5688]

Lamest audience ever

[@walkertongdee]

And then black dudes stole the line...
