No-one seemed terribly sure why Elvis Costello decided to play just one date in support of his vibrant new album ''[[The Delivery Man]]'', but his Scottish fans were delighted he had selected Barrowland as the location, even if a couple of hundred extra devotees could have been accommodated round the sidelines and at the back of the hall. | |||
The new songs were mostly convincing. Current single [[Monkey To Man]] was dispatched with rootsy swagger, [[Country Darkness]] was suitably yearning, and [[Either Side Of The Same Town]] was simply as great as anything Costello has performed in his career. Yet, something was missing | The new songs were mostly convincing. Current single "[[Monkey To Man]]" was dispatched with rootsy swagger, "[[Country Darkness]]" was suitably yearning, and "[[Either Side Of The Same Town]]" was simply as great as anything Costello has performed in his career.

Interestingly, he favoured tracks from debut album ''[[My Aim Is True]]'' on this outing — a sign that he and his [[The Imposters|Imposters]] (featuring two former [[The Attractions|Attractions]]) were feeling youthfully virile. | ||
However, indulgences staggered in and came close to derailing the latter stages of the concert. [[Shipbuilding]] pulled the set back from the brink, but it tottered again, until the final salvo of [[Oliver's Army]], [[(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding?]] and [[Pump It Up]] provided a belated reminder what he can achieve. | However, indulgences staggered in and came close to derailing the latter stages of the concert.
