In September 2013, Costello released his latest studio album, "Wake Up Ghost," supported by the band the Roots. So one would think this concert just two months later would promote that. But no, you would wrong. Even this concert was over two hours long, only two of the songs were from that album ("Cinco Minutos con Vos" and "Tripwire"). Instead, it seemed he played whatever he felt like playing from all points in his career, including some obscurities. Then, in early 2014, he returned to this venue backed by the Roots, and performed a more typical concert promoting the "Wake Up Ghost" album. A recording of that concert has been leaked as well, and I'd like to post it eventually.
Some improvements were made by this recording by my musical associate Lil Panda. I made some additional minor changes on top of that, such as boosting the volume of the cheering at the ends of some songs, since that usually was quite low, as is the case for many soundboard bootlegs. I also boosted the volume of most of the banter between songs.
If you're a big Elvis Costello fan, this is a good concert for you, because he only played a few of his hits and made a lot of unexpected but interesting selections instead. And the sound quality can't be beat.
By the way, when this appeared in the leak I mentioned above, it was labeled as a 2012 concert. But I found out it definitely was a 2013 concert instead. The proof is from this page from an Elvis Costello fan site:

It links to a newspaper review of the concert, which removes all doubt about the date. It also has some other interesting things related to this concert. For instance, that's where I got the photo for the cover.
This album is two hours and 12 minutes long.

The cover photo isn't the best, for instance, with his face mostly covered in shadow. But I used it because it's from this exact concert.
