Elvis Costello and the Attractions
Tokyo, Japan
Kosei Nenkin Hall
September 9, 1996

The third show of the 1996 Japanese tour with the Attractions and the first of a four night run in Tokyo. These seven shows were the last shows of the All This Useless Beauty tour and EC's last shows with the Attractions ever. The weirdest show of the seven. EC tacks a verse or so of Mystery Dance and Shabby Doll onto the end of Honey, Are You Straight and So Like Candy respectively. He begins singing Shipbuilding without the band and they have to just follow along, leaving out Steve's signature piano opening. Also, apparently there were crowd/security issues. EC mentions it several times and even tells (off mic) an audience member to "leave." The encores contain no rockers (the Accidents played is an odd mid tempo version) as to not excite the crowd. This version is an upgrade to any previous versions, but I'm pretty sure there is not one for this show. Cool JohnE artwork included.
