Second night of a 3 night run. I won't be there, but looking forward to reading good reports and hearing an analog recording as well.

Elvis just brought Stanford from sex and the city to spin the wheel and it "landed" on so like candy, perhaps for Candace Bushnell?

Elvis just brought Tennessee Thomas on stage to play drums and it made me remember how cool the @rachelantonoff fashion show was..
This guy has tweeted what looks like most of the show so far:Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys just joined Elvis Costello on stage. What a throwback.

Elvis Costello slew tonight at The Beacon Theater! Three encores! Finished the night with Pump It Up into Peace, Love & Understanding!
But not before an awesome rendition of Alison/Tracks of My Tears/Suspicious Minds... did I mention he blew away a cover of Purple Rain?

In this case I did it, but others may have been responsible in the past. I hope it's correct now.

I'm sure there are some downsides to living in NYC, but you guys have the most incredible good fortune in concerts. What's this - four full EC gigs in two months?

Thanks for the setlist. Was trying to piece it together in my mind on the long train ride home. All Grown Up was awesome, but a special word of praise for So Like Candy, I Want You and a fantastic Chelsea. Also loved the Bible Code Sundays mini-set. BTW Arctic Monkeys singer is Alex Turner.

Good God...tonight could be massive. glad i'll be in the orch third row! E made reference to today being Dylan's birthday also, so you KNOW he will honor it at least once. who knows what else he has up his sleeve to unleash upon us? should be lots of fun indeedy! get yourself a ticket....
Re: Elvis/Imposters Beacon Theatre New York, NY May 23, 2011
A great show!
My only complaint is that Elvis broke my heart TWICE with "Detectives vs. Hoover Factory."
The audience vote obviously went to Detectives, but Hoover Factory was competitive enough in terms of audience response that I had truly hoped he might play BOTH.
But THEN, when the next spin ALSO landed on "Detectives vs. Hoover Factory" a few minutes later, rather than taking it as a sign that he ought to now play Hoover Factory, he leaned on the wheel and moved it to "Oliver's Army" instead.
From then on, he pretty much dictated the outcome of all the spins! It was funny, and a terrific show, but super-heartbreaking to come SO close to "Hoover Factory" TWICE and not have him play it....
