Comments:
Last show of the Elvis Costello spring 1989 "Spike" college tour. Nick Lowe opened for Elvis; both were acoustic sets.

The performance is really fun, by both artists. Lowe joins Costello for the last few songs of the main set. The encore was unusual -- a pseudo-all-request segment interacting with audience members (more in the info file). Elvis's set is fantastic, full of intensity and cover songs.

The recording is great. I remember the taper telling me he was in the front few rows of the floor on the side, and his equipment was great. There is minor phase shifting and a small cut near the end of "God's Comic"; otherwise, this recording is really excellent for the analog era. The Lowe set is a little rougher-sounding due to a talkative crowd, but still very good.

This show was the first time I'd seen Elvis, and it made me a fan for life.

2008 edits by john234: I used Audacity to:
- trim about one minute from the taped intro music.
- separate "American Without Tears" into its own tracks.
- separate lengthy intros for "God's Comic" and "Mystery Dance" into their own tracks.
- remove two tiny gaps at tape flips, and smoothed over another with a fade after "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"
- minor retracking throughout.
Editing lineage: FLAC > TLH > WAV > Audacity (retracking, fades) > TLH > FLAC 6 (align SB) > Foobar (flac tags).
