Elvis Costello goes grocery shopping in 1978



In footage meant to air on 20/20, Elvis Costello and the Attractions play Boston and Detroit at the height of their powers and buy avocados with Geraldo Rivera. Included below is the full, hour-long bootleg tape, which encompasses the supermarket clip along with the band’s performances and some backstage hanging out. This is prime Costello material, right when his Angry, Sensitive Young Man phase was at its apex.
