Elvis Costello Plays Vegas Show With The Roots

Elvis Costello and the Roots paraded out much of the music from their critically acclaimed album, Wake Up Ghost, on Sunday night at the Brooklyn Bowl in Las Vegas.

The show was the second of two nights at the venue which saw the two artists also cover a few of Costello’s classics in what was described as an updated style to suit the Roots and covers of songs by The Specials and John Lennon.
