Elvis Costello & Steve Nieve, March 1st 2025 at the Cabot

Last time Elvis Costello came through Beverly and did a show at the Cabot I didn’t manage to get tickets. This time, as a member, I was able to score a great seat in front row balcony.

The Costello & Nieve 2025 tour announced 15 nights in February and March:

I can’t vet all the venues, but I’m guessing the Cabot in Beverly is one of the smaller, at ~850 seats. If you can get one of the first row balcony seats it is one of the best venues on the North Shore.

The stage set includes a number of mics – lots of places where Costello can sit or stand and use various kinds of microphones, guitars, and keyboards appropriate to the mood. Nieve mostly stayed beyond the keys there in the back left, between piano and keyboard options.

They played a wide variety of songs from across Costello’s career. He was in great form, joking about getting a capo from Timothy Chalamet who he felt could play him in a biopic after “a couple of years and a couple of cases of gin.”

(Full Setlist and review from Boston.com)

The lighting played a bit of havoc with my phone camera – this was “Black Sails in the Sunset”

I did not get many recordings – was just enjoying the show – but grabbed a few snippets.

“Brilliant Mistake” early in the set – “He thought he was the King of America /
Where they pour Coca Cola just like vintage wine”

There was a fair amount of reflection on America and the current political climate – consistent with what Costello called the “Angry Young Man” rep he’s been saddled with.

An almost meditative “Veronica” – with Nieve at the piano and Costello on the stool down-stage right where he played a number of quieter / more reflective songs.

For “Allison” Costello moved to the Fender Rhodes stage left – you can hear Nieve’s piano as well.

Finale of “What’s So Funny ‘Bout Peace Love and Understanding” on which Costello and Nieve traded singing duties – perhaps the expected closer but I was all about it.

The Replacements, Don’t Tell a Soul, 1989 on Sire / Reprise

This was the Replacements first album with Slim Dunlop replacing Bob Stinson on guitar. It was recorded in LA, produced by Matt Wallace and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, purportedly in an attempt to be more radio friendly, though Westerberg said he preferred the rougher approach of other ‘mats albums.

I think it’s a wonderful album – maybe a bit more “refined” than some of the noisier stuff, but Paul Westerberg’s songwriting is top notch here: “I’ll Be You,” “Talent Show,” and “Achin’ to Be” are among my favorites.

Various Artists, A Very Special Christmas, 1987 on A&M

Long before Maria’s “All I Want For Christmas” came this wonderful compilation to benefit Special Olympics International with a whos-who of mid-late 80s artists covering holiday songs:

• The Pointer Sisters – Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
• Eurythmics – Winter Wonderland
• Whitney Houston – Do You Hear What I Hear
• Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band – Merry Christmas Baby
• The Pretenders – Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
• John Cougar Mellencamp – I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
• Sting – Gabriel’s Message
• Run-DMC – Christmas in Hollis
• U2 – Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
• Madonna – Santa Baby
• Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band – The Little Drummer Boy
• Bryan Adams – Run Rudolph Run
• Bon Jovi – Back Door Santa
• Alison Moyet – The Coventry Carol
• Stevie Nicks – Silent Night

This is holiday music I can get behind – though Christmas in Hollis does have a certain earworm quality I still love it. Artwork by Keith Haring, of course.

My copy via Beverly Coin & Jewelry. Different versions exist with black vs gold lettering on the cover, and with green/red on different side labels.

Sinéad O’Connor, The Lion and the Cobra, 1987 on Chrysalis / Ensign

This was Sinéad’s debut album and is still just astonishingly great. The spoken word intro in gaelic by Enya before “Never Get Old” is Psalm 91:

For He will give His angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.

They shall bear thee upon their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample […]

Michelle Shocked, The Texas Campfire Tapes, 1986 on Mercury / Cooking Vinyl

This was the debut album for Michelle Shocked, purportedly recorded by Cooking Vinyl founder Pete Lawrence on a Sony Walkman at an unplanned performance at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas. Shocked herself has called it a “bootleg” and says it was released without her permission:

My music career began as the Bootleg Poster Child. It’s such a quaint word, bootleg, conjuring images of […]

Howard Jones, One to One, 1986 on Elektra

Howard Jones was one of my first concerts I saved up for and bought tickets to myself. I don’t think he was the first, but he was certainly an early one. I especially loved his early-80s output: Human’s Lib and Dream Into Action.

One to One was his third studio album – for some folks this was where he lost some luster but I think it is still a solid LP. Guests include Afrodiziak, Phil […]

Tim Finn, Escapade, 1983 on A&M

Tim Finn’s better known as one of the co-founders of Split Enz, and later member of Crowded House. This was his debut album as a solo artist, originally on Mushroom records, a large indie label in Australia, but distributed in the US by A&M.

It was a #1 record in New Zealand, top ten in Australia, and top 100 in Canada – but only made it to #161 in the US charts. Vince Gill guests on […]

Timbuk 3, Eden Alley, 1988 on I.R.S. Records

Timbuk 3 was the stage name for the duo of Pat MacDonald and Barbara K. MacDonald (nee Barbara Kooyman, aka Barbara K), as it evolved out of Pat MacDonald & The Essentials. They formed in Madison Wisconsin (later relocating to Austin Texas) and put out six albums, of which this was their second.

I love their songwriting: clever, punny, […]
