Nick Lowe's 'Quality Rock & Roll Revue' Starring The Los Straitjackets performing Elvis Costello's "Allison" at First Avenue Minneapolis, MN November 18 2021

What makes this end segment of "Allison" so incredible is not only Nick's pure and heartfelt voice but the absolute silence of the large audience. You could honestly hear a pin drop along with the packed house faintly whispering "Allison" along at the chorus.
I've been going to mainroom shows at First Avenue (Uncle Sam's) since 1980 and have never experienced such a quiet, soulful moment.

Incidentally, Elvis Costello played the mainroom for the first time ever just a couple weeks before and opened his set with Nick Lowe's "Heart of the City"

"Alison" is a song written by and first recorded by Elvis Costello in 1977 for his debut album on Stiff Records (UK) and Columbia (US). Single released May 21, 1977 and produced by Nick Lowe.
