Just witnessed your best live gig?.. send us a review!

ELVIS COSTELLO, Liverpool Empire, 13 May 2012

Declan McManus a.k.a Elvis Costello has brought his American style 'spin the big wheel' show to his hometown tonight.

Elvis starts his show with a dancing girl in a cage writhing to every chord he plays, then he starts to ask the members of the audience to get up and join him on stage and gets them to spin the wheel which looms on the right side of the stage, and whatever song it stops on, he and his band play.

All the hits were played tonight from the brilliant 'Accidents Will Happen', to the classic 'Watching the Detectives' and the superb 'Every Day I Write The Book'.

The songs came thick and fast, 'Radio Radio', 'Oliver's Army' and 'I Don't Want To Go To Chelsea'.

Even The Beatles 'Please Please Me' was on the wheel, Elvis played two of my all time favourites 'Alison' and 'Shipbuilding' which had the crowd screaming for more

They had come expecting to hear all the hits and that is what they got, and as the gig came to a close half the crowd seemed to be on the stage dancing like something on an old Top of the Pops show.
