Revision as of 00:49, 16 May 2007

The purpose of The Costello Performance Index is to list the first and most recent live performances of every song officially released by Elvis Costello. The songs are sorted by album. Additional non-album songs will be added in the future.

Almost all of the information listed here is based on the setlists posted on this website. Because the collection of setlists is incomplete, this information should not be considered definitive.

If a song was played at any point during the May 2007 tour, its "most recent" performance is listed simply as "2007-05." The precise date will be noted at the end of the tour.

If anyone reading this has additional setlists (such as anything from the Australian leg of the Mighty Like A Rose tour), please post them!

Corrections are welcome. Feel free to edit this page directly or suggest changes on the discussion page.
