Elvis Costello & The Attractions :: Almost Blue, Almost New :: New Year's Eve 1981 :: Palladium, New York City, NY :: Most Of "Almost Blue" Performed :: Soundboard Recording

Once available in a very truncated bootleg entitled “A New Year For The Roses: A Country Gentleman Rings In The New Year”

Notes from A New Year For The Roses:
"This album features the seldom performed songs from EC's classic country album Almost Blue that was almost universally overlooked by both fans and critics alike. For this performance, the group is joined by Mr. John McFee (Clover) on pedal steel guitar. Enjoy it now, you may never hear these tunes again." The title on the label is 'Lucky Stevens Sings'!

Seeder's Note: Source claims to be soundboard. Extensive setlist. Ten out of the twelve songs from "Almost Blue" are performed. Contains all twelve minutes of Steve Nieve's intermission solo, which includes a tribute to John Lennon (Imagine) and Auld Lang Syne. Alison was performed that evening but did not make it onto this version of the show, presumably due to time limitations of the CD. What this recording may lack in quality it more than compensates for in quantity and novelty.
