Elvis Costello’s Rocky but Rewarding Night | Dublin News

Elvis Costello’s show began quietly—chewing gum, a rough voice, and even a hint of autotune on “Everyday I Write the Book”—but by the second half, he’d fully unleashed his magic. Crowd-pleasers like “Lovable” and a killer mashup of “A Good Year for the Roses” and “Suspicious Minds” had everyone singing, while uilleann piper Seán McKeon stole the show with a fiery solo on “Little Palaces.” Costello’s wit between songs and his new crypto-bought cowboy boots kept the energy high, culminating in a triumphant, heartfelt encore of “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding.” A shaky start, a soaring finish—proof that at 71, he’s still the king of the stage.
