Elvis Costello & the Attractions Elvis Costello/CA,USA 1977 Late Show Soundboard Edition

The late show of the two gigs held in San Francisco on November 15th, from the 1977 North American tour, was recorded over 50 minutes with perfect stereo soundboard sound source from the radio on-air master. Since this was recorded from a first generation master copy, it is a live album that is no different from the official one, and it was recorded in the very early days after the release of only one debut album. Even so, in addition to the album, it is surprising that they performed a large number of songs from their second album, “THIS YEAR’S MODEL,” which had just started recording, and the opening of the live performance was an aggressive set that started with the first song of the second album, “No Action.” And the roughness of the performance was unique to that time, and here is a rare performance that can be said to be the starting point of a long career in official quality.
