Elvis Costello (II)

June 16, 1978 - At the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels

 

On June 16, 1978, the illustrious New York electro-punks of Suicide, played a 'legendary' concert in the AB. Their unseen, 23 minute storm of minimal electro and hypothermic vocals provoked strong reactions from the audience. Disconcerted about the way his support act was received, Elvis Costello, then still an angry young man (23), pulled the plug himself after half an hour. Disgruntled audiences smashed everything to pieces, after which the police turned out with tear gas to maintain order.
