Day 92: Oliver’s army, Elvis Costello

OK here is another funny memory. I guess I have slipped into a musical theme of great concerts I was blessed with as a young “twenty something year old” living in the vibrant city of Sydney, at the time when the Sydney Entertainment Centre (now no longer with us) was in its prime.

The video below is exactly how I always pictured Elvis Costello. Yet amazingly at the concert I saw him at, when he came out on stage, he had a full on beard and looked more like a tough Sydney biker than his trademark geeky look that he has in this video.
