Elvis Costello - 1996-05-18 - Chicago IL (FM)

1990s - #4: In May 1996, Elvis Costello released his 17th studio album, entitled All This Useless Beauty, which was his final disc with his long time backing band, The Attractions. To promote the album Costello hit the road full force, not only playing concerts but also also making TV appearances, playing live on several morning radio programs and even playing several "secret" unannounced gigs. Attractions' pianist Steve Nieve backed Costello for the tour.  This FM broadcast captures Elvis during that run, in Chicago on May 18, 1996, 29 years ago today.
