Elvis Costello & The Sugarcanes 6/16 Nashville
Re: Elvis Costello & The Sugarcanes 6/16 Nashville
Absolutely fantastic show tonight in Nashville. Longest encore I've ever seen - a little over an hour with just about every song seeming to be the last one, only to have Elvis sing just one more! Total show was probably about 2 hours and 40 minutes. The songs from the new album - he played just about all of it - were great. Very nice reworking of "Everyday I Write the Book." Great version of "The Delivery Man." Actually, too many highlights for me to remember and list right now. And, afterward, my wife and daughter and I hung around and got to meet Elvis outside the Ryman. There were probably 50 some odd people lining up to get autographs and pictures with him. He was amazingly generous greeting everyone. Fantastic night in Music City!

Re: Elvis Costello & The Sugarcanes 6/16 Nashville
Good heavens! You just can't imagine what a night this was!
I kid you not - an absolutely incredible SIX songs from KOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Sugarcanes were amazing, Elvis was most gracious and didn't look like he wanted to leave - even after almost 3 hours! I can''t imagine my life without having seen this concert now. Doc has the setlist and isn't nearby right now, but it was just the most amazing show ever. Hung out with some fun peeps from listserv and much beer was consumed over the evening. Will post pics soon.
Just can't say enough about the whole thing. Utterly amazing.

Re: Elvis Costello & The Sugarcanes 6/16 Nashville
Sounds like a great show, spooky. I'm green with envy as I've not been able to get to a Sugarcanes date on this tour. Maybe there'll be a nice live DVD of this tour like was done for the Toussaint tour.

Back home now, a bit tired from the beer and lack of sleep, but who cares? AWESOME show!! Working on pics now. . .
Re: Elvis Costello & The Sugarcanes 6/16 Nashville
Elvis, fantastic setlist, King of America, great concert, no kids, lots of beer = perfect night out.
A live DVD recorderd later in the tour sounds like a great idea.

Re: Elvis Costello & The Sugarcanes 6/16 Nashville
Just going by memory, Spooky's setlist looks pretty close, but weren't the last two songs reversed? Seems like Changing Partners was the last song of the night.
Also, in Alison he threw in several lines of I'll Make It All Up To You, in addition to He'll Have To Go and He's Got You.
Fantastic show, and I, too, hope that a recording will surface!

I took a day off work yesterday and went to see Elvis Costello play with his new backing band, The Sugarcanes, at the Ryman in Nashville, TN. This was my 3rd time seeing Elvis live, and just like the previous two shows, it was great. I had an unbelieveable seat (as pictured above) and the sound was perfect, which seems to be the standard for the Ryman. Elvis must be eschewing Rock 'N Roll time these days, because he took the stage at 7:37pm with an advertised start time of 7:30pm. I appreciated the gesture since I always arrive to shows early. The bluegrass/roots style of the new record translated incredibly well in the live setting. The set list was comprised of most of the tracks from Secret, Profane, and Sugarcane, rearranged versions of classics ("Blame It On Cain", "Brilliant Mistake", "Every Day I Write The Book", "Little Palaces", "Indoor Fireworks", "American Without Tears", "Alison", "What's So Funny..."), and covers of "Friend Of The Devil", "Femme Fatale", and "The Race Is On". I certainly never thought I'd hear Grateful Dead, Velvet Underground, and George Jones covers all in one set. The show ran close to three hours, and at the end I still wanted more. The drive back seemed like it would never end. I got in a good 2 and a half hour nap before arriving at work this morning. That kind of drive in one night probably sounds crazy to most people, but great shows are worth the effort.

O.M.G.
I just realized, viewing that youtube of The Race is On, that Jim Lauderdale, Sugarcane, is Jim Lauderdale, host of Tennessee Shines. Weird.

My dime account has been disabled.
Is there anyway to either send us the torrent tracker file directly or help out?
It was an awesome show and I want to get it down for SpookyG before I leave on a business trip Sunday.
Thanks.

Hi Doc
Good luck with this - sure someone will have found a way for you.
If all else fails send me a PM and I'll post off the files on CD, but I'm afraid they won't arrive from here in the UK before you leave tomorrow!
Best wishes, and thanks for the fantastic site

Re: Elvis Costello & The Sugarcanes 6/16 Nashville
The band version of Condemned Man in this show really fills out this song. The intro. to Five Small Words is reminding me big time of another tune. A few more listens and it'll come to me. Listening to this show back to back with the Beacon show it's astonishing to hear how , in the space of days, tighter and more assured this ensemble has become. Is that Jeff Taylor playing low key whistle on Little Palaces? It's just like Cormac Breathnach's flute part on the Irish tv version from 1987 -

John, in all honesty, it was really an amazing show. I wish you could have been there.
Re: Elvis Costello & The Sugarcanes 6/16 Nashville
Spooky! So glad you enjoyed your "Mini Elvis Vacation"! We did the exact same thing at the Beacon in NY.....saw the show, had a grrrreat dinner and stayed over night. A no kids, all Elvis evening.....haha
I thought the show was excellent. I was not disappointed at all. It was a great mix of songs. I thought the same....he didn't look like he wanted to leave! I think he played a few more songs for you in Nashville than he did in NY. Wasn't lucky enough to see him afterwards though : P

Wow - what a great show. I'm glad you all enjoyed it. I'm listening to it at the moment - any Board Members on the recording that I should be listening out for?
