Elvis Costello and The Imposters
The Mountain Winery
Saratoga, CA
September 2, 2014


After playing Bumbershoot in Seattle, EC played a couple of stand alone shows with the Imposters in Northern California. Here they are.

First up Saratoga. A superb show. A stellar venue - the sound was fantastic. Excellent sounding recording. EC and the band at the top of their game. These shows are probably as close as we will get to a Wise Up Ghost Imposter tour - and songs from that album sound great. This is s great, great show. Samples below.

The Rohnert Park show will follow in a couple of days.

The Last Year Of My Youth is a full band version with EC playing his Jazzmaster. He started out the show playing th '52 Telecaster, but unless playing acoustic, he played the Jazzmaster almost the rest of the night. One Bell Ringing was with the Fiesta Red Stratocaster, and it is great.

If burning to CD follow the disc breaks below. If not, the show will play seamless.
