Entertainment grows up as sun comes out
Budweiser Stage review

( extract)

Saturday's cold and mud and mosh pits gave way to sunshine, warm temperatures and an all around more adult atmosphere at the Beale Street Music Festival's Budweiser stage Sunday.


Elvis Costello, who did rare club shows at the Hi-Tone in Memphis last year, was back, this time serenading the sunset over the Budweiser stage. His band featured guest guitarist David Hidalgo of Los Lobos and drew heavily on material from Delivery Man, recorded last year in Oxford, Miss., with a sprinkling of old favorites such as "Radio, Radio."

There was an additional blurb in today's print edition of the Commercial Appeal in which Sarah McLachlan said about Costello, "That was a tough act to follow." I can't find the story anywhere online, though.

the show was amazing from my front and center perspective. e and the boys were in top form, and elvis was laughing and goofing around, doing this little shuffle dance. it was rather funny when he and hubert started out in different keys doing hidden charms and had to start over...what a laugh. who knows what would have happened if he could have played longer!

the guys watched ike turner before them from the wings and seemed as amused/disgusted as the crowd was when ike and fake tina simulated sex with noises and gestures. ike is a crude, crude man.

some of my friends (not nearly as huge on elvis) went totally nutso when e and david hidalgo did "bertha." i just felt so blessed to see elvis, pete, davey, steve, david, and hubert sumlin on the same stage!

i have seen ec and the boys a lot lately and will see them again thursday in cincy, but i think this show was one of the best shows i have seen fun-wise, including most of the hi-tone shows!

i wish more "superfans" were around, though...most of the people didn't even know the standard classics. i felt somewhat naked!

sarah wasn't kidding...anyone would have had a tough time following that!

That looks correct, except I am certain that Why Don't You Love Me came right after Mystery Dance.
