Ten Nights, 250 Songs, Only One Elvis Costello

More than four decades into an astonishing career, the pop legend's energy and ambition appears undimmed. Esquire joined him for the entirety of his recent residency at the Gramercy Theatre, Manhattan, for a rare encounter with a remarkable man

By Simon GarfieldPUBLISHED: 11 MAY 2023

In September 2022 I got an email from Elvis Costello. Technically it was from elviscostello.com, a fan subscription list, with news of shows planned for February 2023, but I felt it was sent only with me in mind. Costello was to play 10 nights at the intimate Gramercy Theatre in Manhattan, promising not to repeat a single song in the entire run. This meant at least 200 different songs, perhaps a third of his entire catalogue, stretching back almost 50 years. As far as I knew, no one — not Dylan, not Springsteen, not Schubert — had ever tried a similar thing before.

Really good interview and what is more impressive is the list of songs Elvis performed at the Gramercy that runs as a sidebar over the pages of the interview,

Well worth seeking out

It's taken me a while to get to this (eventually did via my library app Borrowbox) and I concur!

First time I've ever read Esquire and, apart from all the wristwatch porn, I was surprised at how good a read it was.

"My first major physical magazine mention, in the cover story in Esquire Magazine on @ElvisCostello
The whole story is about Elvis’ run of shows earlier this year, which @MichaelLeonhart and I were featured on. Shoutout to my parents for spotting it first by accident"
