In January 1996, Elvis Costello showcased his performance of "Watching The Detectives" during a special episode of "Later With Jools Holland" that aired as part of "Elvis Costello at the BBC." This period in Costello's career followed the release of his album "Brutal Youth," which debuted in 1994 and marked a return to his pop-rock roots. Notably, "Brutal Youth" was produced in collaboration with band members from the Attractions, reuniting after years of separation. The 1996 live performance captures Costello's dynamic stage presence and reflects his ongoing innovation in blending various genres. This era also highlights his ability to reinterpret his classic hits alongside new material, maintaining a strong connection with his audience and showcasing his versatility as an artist.
