Post by Man out of Time »

There is a brief preview of this show here:

http://therogersrevue.wordpress.com/201 ... mmer-2011/

which says:
Wolf Trap is also proud to present Elvis Costello & The Imposters at the Filene Center for the first time since 2006.
There is also a short preview on the Wolftrap site itself here:

Another preview here especially for Elvis's Catholic audience:

http://virginia.catholic.org/maps/index.php?map_id=4980
The best known rocker in glasses since Buddy Holly, Costello promises a night of fierce rock ’n’ roll and clever songwriting that will run the gamut of his 35-year career, from his greatest hits to his latest album.

Elvis Costello & the Imposters draw on a myriad of genres, layering punk rock, new wave, reggae, and country to create a sound that transcends tradition.
Listen carefully for the "punk rock" and "reggae".

It looks like two (or maybe four?) "Joker" spots have been added to the wheel.

Twitter:
Elvis begins, uncharacteristically, 13 min. late w/ "I Hope You're Happy Now." Lady in the go-go cage appears to be a pro... for now.

Also this guy:
http://twitter.com/#!/ctklimek
Pump It Up 6/8 segued into Busted 6/8. Yep, the Johnny Cash one. An @ElvisCostello gig is nineteen gigs in one, folks.
2nd wheel-spinner is a kid. Dials "Allison", repairs to Society Lounge for adult beverage w/ go-go dancer. Kid is mouthing the words!
Alison segues into Tears medley #elviscostello
Jackpot spin for "Girl" songs! This Year's Girl / Party Girl / and then the Beatles' Girl." So: Cash. Smokey. Beatles. History lesson, this!
Fourth spin - King's Ransom jackpot Fifth spin - Everyday I Write the Book #elviscostello
Everyday I Write the Book brings our first CIVILiAN IN THE GO-GO CAGE I REPEAT CIVILiAN IN GO-GO CAGE
"Brilliant Mistake" peformed as part of "King's Ransom" jackpot of tunes from NATIONAL RANSOM and KING OF AMERICA. @kgustafson cries w/ joy.
Sixth spin - Stella Hurt, EC changed to Joker - changed to I Want You #elviscostello
Spinner's name was Roxanne, so the band does a quick Police cover #elviscostello
Girl named Roxanne wins song of her choice; picks "I Want You." Elvis obliges w/ a couple verses of The Police's "Roxanne" first. A showman.

Sounds pretty similar to the previous Wheel shows so far. No surprises.

Seventh spin - Joker selection: And Your Bird Can Sing
Beyond Belief, Waiting for the End of the World, Eighth spin - So Like Candy
This cat looks like lovechild of Sam Elliot & Iggy Pop. He spins up "So Like Candy." Good song; too mellow for now, but that's the wheel!

Green Shirt/Red Shoes/Purple Rain #elviscostello
Elvis reemerges in gold lame like prior Elvis; final spin is I Can Sing A Color. "Purple Rain" cover underwhelms. 2 Elvises; only 1 Prince.
