Mr. Costello performed an amazing, cool, passionate and powerful concert at Summer Stage Central Park yesterday evening! For me he’s one of the guys who become even more interesting by aging, especially his voice, which has more depth and tonal timbres now. To my very satisfaction I could really watch him, his band and his fantastic background singers properly (unlike the many bands I heard live but never got to see them actually because of the tall people standing before me). One thing that pissed me off a little was that everyone had his hands in the air constantly - not for clapping or waving but for taking pics and filming. I took a pic too. ONE. You can see it above. But there’s no point for me in being busy the whole time with documenting things instead of being part of them – listening and dancing to the music. Anyway, a lot of people did, like me, and we had a great time on a wonderful, balmy summer night. Â
After two and a half hours of his awesome songs he finished with an extra long version of “Everyday I Write The Book”. Especially for me, of course. Thank you, Mr. Costello! It was another real New York Moment. Â
