Elvis Costello and the Imposters - Club Date - Live in Memphis

November 11, 2008

The old saying goes, “You can never go home again.” Elvis Costello has made a career of doing what “can’t” or “never should” be done, and Club Date: Live In Memphis is no exception. Costello returns to his musical roots, leaving the cozy comfort of theater-sized venues and stages for a tiny, sweaty club in Memphis, Tennessee for a set that rolls through his best songs from his 27-year career. Club Date: Live In Memphis, recorded in late 2004, was shot in High-Definition and features Stereo, 5.1 Surround and DTS audio to give the viewer that intimate setting from their own home.

Customer Review: Next best thing to being there
This is a fantastic show. The DVD includes such goodies as extra songs and a documentry that documents EC’s purchase of the purple shirt he wore onstage to an impromptu performance of “Needle time”.

I’m in my mid-forties and my Mother enjoyed this show more than just a little.

There is a Blue Ray version for us HD freaks but in either format the show kills.

Chatropolis Rocks! If you can’t keep it up “Pump it up”!
Customer Review: Great Live Show
I read the other reviews here and was struck by some who said Elvis looked “puffy and sweaty”. They’ve obviously never played a small club with heat generating amps and lighting raising the temp above the average comfort level. He sweats. So what? He’s put on a few pounds. So have we all. He still rocks like no other and I can wholeheartedly recommend this set. The extras are great. Good to see Elvis discovering America. Made me realize how little we value our own national treasures. To see them through his eyes was very interesting.

Buy it. you’ll like it. Buy from here…
