Re: Elvis/Police , Chicago, May 10 '08
May 28th in Southern California. Promise to buy a drink to any forum member that reveals. I can be a barrell of laughs, and my propensity to blog is completely gone in this atmosphere, All fun, no grief, no thinking, just pure rock and roll and style and grace. I suppose I can leave before the police, but what the hell

Alison - with Mr. Sting (who looks more like homeless man than Elvis does!He came out after EC started the song. Sang from the 2nd verse on. EC harmonized with him at the end. The guy next to me asked "Who is that?" I said "Sting", he said "who?", I said "why are you here?". As Sting left the stage EC said "Newcastle's finest!") Paddy told us in Louisville that there would be a surprise in Chicago. There it was.

Jeff Elbel , Chicago Sun Times -
(extract)
Opening act Elvis Costello ensured that most attendees were in their seats early. Costello led his Imposters through fifty minutes of hard-hitting pop, including material from the new “Momofuku” album. The spiky reggae of “I Don’t Want to Go to Chelsea” and dub-influenced “Watching the Detectives” were ideally matched to the Police’s radio-friendly mixture of punk, pop and reggae. Sting himself appeared for a duet on brooding ballad “Alison.”
