Elvis Costello, Alison / I Hope (live), Fox Theater, Oakland, CA, November 14, 2021 (4K)

Elvis Costello & The Imposters play the songs "Alison" and "I Hope" live in concert at The Fox Theater in Oakland, California on November 14, 2021. Alison (often misspelled "Allison") appeared on Elvis Costello's debut album, My Aim Is True (1977). I Hope was a bonus track on National Ransom (2010). Costello is a Grammy Award winning English singer-songwriter who was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2003. The Imposters are Steve Nieve (keyboards), Pete Thomas (drums), and Davey Faragher (bass). Joining them onstage was special guest Charlie Sexton (guitar). In his autobiography, Costello said about Alison: "I've always told people that I wrote the song 'Alison' after seeing a beautiful checkout girl at the local supermarket. She had a face for which a ship might have once been named. Scoundrels might once have fought mist-swathed duels to defend her honour. Now she was punching in the prices on cans of beans at a cash register and looking as if all the hopes and dreams of her youth were draining away. All that were left would soon be squandered to a ruffian who told her convenient lies and trapped her still further." ============= Alison lyrics: Oh, it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl And with the way you look, I understand that you are not impressed But I heard you let that little friend of mine Take off your party dress I'm not going to get too sentimental Like those other sticky valentines 'Cause I don't know if you were loving somebody I only know it isn't mine Alison, I know this world is killing you Oh, Alison, my aim is true Well, I see you've got a husband now Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake? You used to hold him right in your hand I'll bet he took all he could take Sometimes, I wish that I could stop you from talking When I hear the silly things that you say I think somebody better put out the big light 'Cause I can't stand to see you this way Alison, I know this world is killing you Oh, Alison, my aim is true My aim is true =============== Hello Again live tour dates (2021): Oct. 13 - Memphis, TN @ The Soundstage At Graceland Oct. 15 - Louisville, KY @ The Louisville Palace Oct. 16 - Cincinnati, OH @ ICON Music Center Oct. 18 - Raleigh, NC @ Raleigh Memorial Auditorium Oct. 19 - Atlanta, GA @ Coca-Cola Roxy Oct. 20 - Charlotte, NC @ Belk Theater Oct. 22 - Red Bank, NJ @ Count Basie Center For The Arts Oct. 24 - Philadelphia, PA @ The Met Oct. 25-26 - Port Chester, NY @ The Capitol Theatre Oct. 28 - Providence, RI @ Providence Performing Arts Center Oct. 29 - Portsmouth, NH @ The Music Hall Oct. 30 - Brookville, NY @ Tilles Center Nov. 2 - Ann Arbor, MI @ Michigan Theater Nov. 3 - Chicago, IL @ Chicago Theatre Nov. 4 - Minneapolis, MN @ First Avenue Nov. 6 - Madison, WI @ The Sylvee Nov. 7 - Indianapolis, IN @ Murat Theatre Nov. 10 - Phoenix AZ @ Arizona Federal Theatre Nov. 11 - San Diego, CA @ The Magnolia Nov. 13 - Los Angeles, CA @ YouTube Theater Nov. 14 - Oakland, CA @ Fox Theater ============== Elvis Costello official bio: Elvis Costello began writing songs at the age of thirteen. 2017 marked the 40th anniversary of the release his first record album, “My Aim Is True.” He is perhaps best known for the songs, “Alison,” “Pump It Up,” “Everyday I Write The Book,” and his rendition of the Nick Lowe song, “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace Love and Understanding.” His record catalogue of more than thirty albums includes the contrasting pop and rock & roll albums, “This Year’s Model,” ”Armed Forces,” “Imperial Bedroom,” “Blood and Chocolate” and “King Of America” along with an album of country covers, “Almost Blue” and two collections of orchestrally accompanied piano ballads, “Painted From Memory” – with Burt Bacharach and “North.” He has performed worldwide with his bands, The Attractions, His Confederates – which featured two members of Elvis Presley’s “T.C.B” band – and his current group, The Imposters – Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher – as well as solo concerts, most recently his acclaimed solo show, “Detour.” During his career, Costello has received numerous prestigious honors, including two Ivor Novello Awards for songwriting, a Dutch Edison Award with The Brodsky Quartet for “The Juliet Letters,” the Nordoff-Robbins Silver Clef Award, a BAFTA for the music written with Richard Harvey for Alan Bleasdale’s television drama series “G.B.H.” and a Grammy for “I Still Have That Other Girl” from his 1998 collaboration with Burt Bacharach, “Painted From Memory.” Elvis Costello and The Attractions were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.
