Elvis Costello visited the West Coast with his band The Attractions to play the Pacific Coliseum (Nov. 17, 1978) and while they were here they shot a video for the Nick Lowe song “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding.”

The video for the song, directed by Chuck Statler,[9][10] was filmed in Vancouver in November 1978, while Costello and his band were in the city to perform at Pacific Coliseum.[11] The video was filmed illegally after hours in Stanley Park. It opens on a shot of the band on a beach with Burrard Inlet and North Vancouver in the background, and features a number of shots filmed at the park's totem pole pavilion.[12]
