Shot in 2009 at the storied Harlem's Apollo Theater and Toronto's Masonic Temple, Costello and his band The Imposters wow their audience with jam sessions in between Costello's colorful and creative discussions. The press has loved it:

an engaging showcase for a curious mind (No.1 pick) Time Magazine the appeal has much to do with Mr. Costello's intergenerational coolness. The New York Times we love the show! Rolling Stone

Mr. Costello is thrilled by the caliber of musicians who come on his show. Our guests have been faultlessly generous with their time, their reflections and their music, he says.

Bonus features include: the behind-the-scenes documentary Spectacle: Elvis Costello With...Inside Notes hosted by co-Executive Producer David Furnish and four bonus songs from Elvis & The Imposters and guests not seen in the original broadcast versions.

The response we've had to the show is so gratifying - not only from people who've seen it, but all the artists who've come on with Elvis have been thrilled to be a part of something that's genuinely - and passionately - about music," said co-Executive Producer and guest star Sir Elton John.
Conceived and developed by creator/Executive Producer Stephen Warden, SPECTACLE is co-produced by Toronto's Tri-Fi Productions Inc. (a partnership of SpyBox Media, Prospero Pictures and Reinvention Entertainment) and Sir Elton John and David Furnish's Rocket Pictures.

Elvis Costello: Spectacle: Season 2 contains behind-the-scenes stories and rare audio performances. It is like having your own video library of the history of cool music.

Elvis Costello takes his performances and interviews a step further than most, capturing music history and memorable anecdotes from A-list music legends, said VSC President Jonathan Gross. As a DVD boxed set, it works both as an emotionally involving television series and as a must-see episode in the history of popular music.

The retail price of Elvis Costello: Spectacle: Season 2 is $29.95 for the DVD and $39.95 for Blu-ray.
