DS Show Review – Radio Soul: The Early Songs of Elvis Costello at The Orpheum Theatre, Los Angeles, CA
Dying Scene: Forrest Gaddis: June 28 2025.
Seeing Elvis Costello is always a good time. A set list that jumps
genres and a band that can play them all with the greatest of ease make
for a great show. The Imposters have never sounded better. Watching
Steve Nieve swivel around between his synth, grand piano, and keyboard
is always a treat. Charlie Sexton’s addition to the band in the last few
years has been a wonderful addition. I’ve been going to see Elvis
Costello for about fifteen years now. Davey Faragher and Pete Thomas are
hands down one of the best rhythm sections I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen
Costello close to ten times, and nearly every show is different. Elvis
Costello doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon, but he does keep
aging like fine wine.
