This review is from: Live At Hollywood High (MP3 Download)

You may not have been on tenterhooks, but for EC completists, here at last is a 20-track set recorded at the Hollywood High on June 4, 1978. I'm still the proud owner of the original 3-track vinyl promotional "Live at the Hollywood High" EP of the show released in 1979, the cover of which famously featured the mangled title Adcicents Will Happen. I got happy when I saw I could download all 20 tracks and install them quickly on my iPod for under 10 bucks. Got a little less happy when, upon hearing the intro to Lipstick Vogue, I realized I had heard it before. Watching my detective work, you would have seen a quick investigation to uncover the fact that I already had nine of these tracks on my Rhino Armed Forces 2-CD reissue from 2002. Maybe if I had committed all my liner notes to memory, I would have known that already. Then again, if I could keep track of all EC's recordings, reissues and repackaged products I would be a miracle man. If you want to hear a great live show, even if you already own The Costello Show: Live at the El Mocambo, this might be the ticket. While you're waiting for the end of the world, you'll be transported back in time to a great high-energy gig, hear Elvis mocking "physical jerks" with a stronger London accent than you get from watching Elvis Costello: Spectacle: Season 1 (4pc) (Ac3), and enjoy some fun introductions to the three members of the Attractions, who EC claims are "feeling extremely unloved here in Hollywood."

Maybe you don't really need it. But that's no excuse not to pump it up.
