Notes:
JEMS master recording. This is a very good to excellent sounding recording capturing Elvis Costello & the Attractions on the fourth night of their third North American tour, following appearances in Minneapolis, Madison, and Chicago, It's Bruce Thomas' second night back after a hand injury. The band plays two shows, and the bill also includes opening sets from Rockpile and Mink DeVille. It's Elvis' first appearance in the Detroit area, and he cites Detroit radio as the reason. JEMS recorded the late show as well, which is torrented separately.

There is another audience source to this show that was torrented back in February. This is a different recording, with better sound. There's also some newsreel footage from an unbroadcast episode of "20/20" that circulates. Here's a video of "Radio, Radio" from that footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWYDxMKvGSU, same monologue as in this recording.

Additional notes:
- one second of tape drag/rumble at 0:03 of "Pump It Up".
- includes three songs not played in the late show - "Less Than Zero", "Red Shoes", and "Watching The Detectives"
- lovely new artwork by Colin included in torrent.

Torrent history:
- first upload on Dime: September, 2010.
