Elvis Costello played 10 show at Gramercy Theatre (setlists & video for whole residency)

Elvis Costello just completed his 10-show "100 Songs And More" residency at Gramercy Theatre. The original announced concept was that there would be no repeat songs between shows, announcing 10 songs of the setlist from each show when the run was announced, and promising at least 10 more at each night. In practice, Elvis deviated from this almost immediately, switching things up to fit themes and special guests.

The first five shows were billed as solo shows with the next five being with Steve Nieve. Steve ended up showing up straight from the airport halfway through Night 5 (Valentines Day), and the rest of The Imposters joined halfway through Night 9; along with guitarist Charlie Sexton, they were there for all of the final show. A few highlights:

• Elvis paid tribute to his friend and collaborator Burt Bacharach, who died the day of the first show at age 94, at every night of the residency.
• Night 1 focused on material Elvis wrote, or was influenced by, leading up to his 1977 debut album, My Aim is True
• For Night 2 (2/10), Elvis was joined for the second half of the night by Eleanor Whitmore on fiddle / vocals, Brigid Kaelin on accordion, musical saw, piano, and vocals, Colin Nairne on mandolin, Bob Dylan sideman Tony Garnier on double bass, and Kara Doyle on uilleann pipes & whistle
• Night 3 (2/13) featured a performance of the songs from Elvis' in-the-works stage musical adaptation of classic film A Face in the Crowd with collaborator Rob Mathes and cast of the production.
• Elvis and Steve Nieve were joined by the horn section of Michael Leonhart, Donny McCaslin and Stuart Bogie at the end of Night 8 (also with JSWISS) & Night 9 (with La Marisoul and Ray Mason).

Check out setlists for every show via Setlist.fm, plus videos, below. We also posted full sets of photos for Night 5, Night 9 and Night 10.

With The Imposters in tow, Elvis starts a short East Coast tour tonight in Bethlehem, PA, and they play Montclair, NJ's The Wellmont Theater on February 26, Kingston, NY's Ulster PAC on March 2, and Port Chester's The Capitol Theatre on March 3.
