Elvis Costello jams with Death Cab, Fiona Apple and more

At a concert for the VH1 Classics show Decades Rock Live in Atlantic City this past Friday, May 19, Elvis Costello and his band, The Imposters, were joined onstage by Death Cab for Cutie, Fiona Apple, and Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong.

Death Cab joined Costello for "Accidents Will Happen" and "Kinder Murder." Apple lent her talents to "Shabby Doll" and "I Want You." And Armstrong energized "Radio Radio" and played an unscripted, unrehearsed acoustic version of "Allison."

Costello also offered renditions of some of his guests' songs—an acoustic duet of "I Will Follow You Into the Darkness" with Death Cab's Ben Gibbard; a solo take on Apple's beautiful ballad "I Know"; and a rousing performance of Green Day's hit "Wake Me Up When September Ends" with Armstrong and The Imposters.

Costello also performed the title track from his new album The River in Reverse, due June 6 on Verve Forecast.
