After that, to 23h40, to the one sound reggae, went up to palco the English Elvis Costello folloied for its band The Imposters. With a career initiated in the end of years 70, in the height of punk and new wave, Costello reached with passing of the time a consistent discografia, that passes successfully for varied styles as pop, country, rockabilly, jazz, romantic ballads and even though opera. Except for the opera and the jazz, all the other styles had been gifts in this first alone presentation of Costello in the country.

Soon in the first song of the night, "Uncomplicated", the musician already asked for with gestures so that the public if raised and was onward of palco. Order taken care of readily for the majority of the gifts, that from there, had attended an election of 23 musics touched with great enthusiasm and ability for the band. As a teacher, Costello conducted the choir of the auditorium in songs as "Monkey Man", Radio Radio "and" Pump It Up ", that they made the gifts to jump between the tables of the place. The repertoire brought musics since its first record, "My Aim is True", of 1977, until the most recent "The Delivery Man", of 2004. Dressing tender dark, red shirt, necktie and using dark eyeglasses during all the show, the English changed of guitar to each new song and if he put into motion for palco livening up the public. During the show, Costello gave to homage the Elvis Presley.

During music "Alison", it sang stretch of "Suspicious Minds", success of the king of the rock. Elvis Costello, by the way, is pseudonymous of the singer, in homage the Presley. Its true name is Declan McManus (Costello is the name of bachelor of its mother). One of its more famous musics, the version for the ballad "She", of Charles Aznavour (enclosed in the track of the film "a Called Place Notting Hill", of 1999), was kept to open the bis and packed the couples gifts. But the romance climate did not last all for the bis. The presentation was closed with an excellent version of "I Want You" that left the public wanting more.

Em seguida, às 23h40, ao som de um reggae, subiu ao palco o inglês Elvis Costello acompanhado por sua banda The Imposters. Com uma carreira iniciada no final dos anos 70, no auge do punk e new wave, Costello atingiu com o passar do tempo uma consistente discografia, que passa com sucesso por estilos variados como o pop, country, rockabilly, jazz, baladas românticas e até mesmo ópera. Exceto pela ópera e pelo jazz, todos os outros estilos estiveram presentes nesta primeira apresentação solo de Costello no país.

Logo na primeira canção da noite, "Uncomplicated", o músico já pedia com gestos para que o público se levantasse e fosse para a frente do palco. Pedido atendido prontamente pela maioria dos presentes, que a partir daí, assistiram a uma seleção de 23 músicas tocadas com grande entusiasmo e competência pela banda.

Como um maestro, Costello regia o coro da platéia em canções como "Monkey Man", Radio Radio" e "Pump It Up", que faziam os presentes pularem entre as mesas do local. O repertório trouxe músicas desde seu primeiro disco, "My Aim is True", de 1977, até o mais recente "The Delivery Man", de 2004.

Vestindo terno escuro, camisa vermelha, gravata e usando óculos escuros durante todo o show, o inglês trocava de guitarra a cada nova canção e se movimentava pelo palco animando o público.

Durante o show, Costello prestou homenagem a Elvis Presley. Durante a música "Alison", cantou trecho de "Suspicious Minds", sucesso do rei do rock. Elvis Costello, aliás, é pseudônimo do cantor, em homenagem a Presley. Seu nome verdadeiro é Declan McManus (Costello é o nome de solteira de sua mãe).

Uma de suas músicas mais famosas, a versão para a balada "She", de Charles Aznavour (incluída na trilha do filme "Um Lugar Chamado Notting Hill", de 1999), foi guardada para abrir o bis e embalou os casais presentes. Mas o clima de romance não durou por todo o bis. A apresentação foi fechada com uma ótima versão de "I Want You" que deixou o público querendo mais.
