Elvis Costello - 1980-08-23 - Toronto, Canada (SBD)

Held on August 23, 1980, 33 years ago today, the Heatwave Festival was officially billed and promoted as “The 1980s Big Beat Rock and Roll Party”. In the history books, however, its often called the New Wave or Punk Woodstock, and with good reason. The festival drew over 85,000 fans, and the crowd swelled to over 100,000 when, at 5 pm, the promoter allowed Dan Akroyd to invite anyone listening on the radio to attend for free!  The festival featured many of the leading lights of the new wave/punk movement, including the Talking Heads, B52s, Rockpile, he Pretenders and Elvis Costello, This soundboard recording capture’s Costello’s set at Heatwave, his only concert in North America that year.   Dowload this one, then come back later today for The Pretenders set.
