Elvis Costello opens for Bob Dylan
Elvis opened for Bob Dylan for 5 nights in 1995
(March 24 in Paris, March 29, 30, 31 in London, and April 11 in Dublin Ireland).
As Reviewed in The Times in London, by Giles Smith...
"...incredibly, miraculously, just like the sixties: crisp, audible lyrics sung with passion, taxt, and poise; clear political commitment; a concern by the singer to dwill within the songs and deliver them as if newly written; a deft manipulation of the overpowering noise that can be made using only a voice and six accousitc guitar strings. And then the support act left the stage and Bob Dylan came on."

After a solo set where EC introduced the songs that would later become 'All This Useless Beauty'
he returned on all nights except the 29th to join Bob for a duet on 'I Shall Be Released'. On the 31st, Chrissie Hynde and Carole King joined in for that song as well as 'Rainy Day Women Nos 12 & 35'. On the 11th Van Morrison replaced Chrissie for the two songs.
