Elvis Costello returned to the stage in 2011 with his celebrated Spinning Wheel tour and now comes the definitive document of this tour: The Return of the Spectacular Spinning Songbook!!!, recorded over a 2-night stand at The WilternTheater in Los Angeles in May 201, shows, which The Los Angeles Times said were the kind of uniquely invigorating experience that warrants a buzzword all its own: inspiring. Costello once again allowed his set-list to be chosen by The Spectacular Spinning Songbook, a monumental game-show type wheel spun by select fans and featuring songs from his latest critically acclaimed release National Ransom, plus new renditions of hits, rarities and very unexpected covers.
The DVD contains bonus footage including an alternate intro by Napoleon Dynamite (aka Elvis Costello), and behind-the-scenes moments captured with the Imposters–Steve Nieve, Davey Faragher and Pete Thomas–as well as extra performances not included in the main set of the show.
