Elvis Costello & The Spinning Songbook premiered this week in High Definition PPV and starts May 24 on VOD. The PPV concert will be available throughout May and June at various times in both SD and HD.
Elvis Costello and The Imposters' unique concert style wows audiences when he allows his set-list to be chosen by The Spectacular Spinning Songbook, a monumental game-show type wheel spun by fans.
The Spectacular Spinning Songbook made its first appearance in 1986 at the Beverly Theatre in Los Angeles during the "Costello Sings Again Tour." Last year, Elvis Costello and the Imposters set out on The Revolver Tour and, for the first time in 25 years, Costello once again allowed his set-list to be chosen via The Spectacular Spinning Songbook, featuring songs from his latest critically acclaimed release National Ransom, plus new renditions of hits, rarities and unexpected covers. Expanded from its initial short run in the spring to encompass summer and fall dates, the tour was greeted by popular acclaim across the country, with Rolling Stone reporting, "Costello worked the stage like a burlesque-club emcee, cracking wise at a mile a minute and spinning a dandy's walking stick."
Elvis Costello & The Spinning Songbook is available for $9.99 (SRP). This one hour TV special was filmed at Los Angeles' Wiltern Theater.
