November 11: Bob Dylan – The End Of The Innocence, New York City, 2002 (video)





bob dylan NYC 2002

 

Remember when the days were long
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky?
Didn’t have a care in the world
With mommy and daddy standing by

And we’ve been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers dwell on small details
Since daddy had to fly

My Aim Is True is the debut album by Elvis Costello (July 22, 1977,UK).

The album was recorded at Pathway Studios in Holloway, London Borough of Islington, over the course of 1976 during late-night studio sessions, in a total of twenty-four hours. It was the first of five consecutive Costello albums produced by Nick Lowe. The backing band was made up of members of Clover. They were uncredited on the original release due to contractual difficulties; some early publicity for the album identified the backing band as “The Shamrocks”.

In 2003, the TV network VH1 named My Aim Is True the 80th greatest album of all time.
