Elvis Costello and The Imposters
Arizona Theatre
Phoenix, AZ,
June 18, 2023

With Charlie Sexton on guitar

Perhaps the best sounding Elvis band show I have attended ever. Everything clear as a bell. The most Elvis guitar you will ever clearly hear. A mostly respectful crowd stayed seated for 98% of the show. It was like a TV show taping. Recording is fantastic.

Show itself is great with EC in a chatty mood and throwing in some curveballs. Chelsea shows up too early in the show and EC abandons the long band introduction part and the song slowly morfs into The Death Of Magic Thinking. MOUT was a stage call out. And a very rare NO Detectives. The seated part of the show is the the most together one I have heard on the tour. Recorded about 7 rows back in front of the mains. Arizona Financial Theatre. Write that down tapers. A tremendous sounding venue. Samples below.


24bit 48K recording. If you still burn to CD, it's pretty easy to convert the files to CD specs. Most burning programs do it internally. If burning, divide the discs after Candy. If not, the show will play seamless.
