I went to the concert of Elvis Costello in Seoul, Korea tonight. He is a great singer songwriter. Fantastic!!!

...........so at least we know the show actually happened.

Hi there,

I went to Seoul this weekend to see Elvis' first concert in Korea!
Although majority of the audience seemed to know only "She", the
show was quite successful, I think. It was only 90 minutes long,
but I felt very satisfied for some reason. Elvis' voice and guitars
sounded just fantastic! I'm too busy to write a detailed report,
as I'm going to see three shows of Elvis in Japan from tomorrow,
but here is the setlist:

01. (The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes
02. Either Side Of The Same Town
03. Veronica
04. My Three Sons
05. New Amsterdam / You've Got To Hide Your Love Away
06. Everyday I Write The Book
07. Bedlam
08. Jimmie Standing In The Rain
09. A Slow Drag With Josephine (without mic)
10. All Or Nothing At All (Diana Krall cover)
11. Almost Blue
12. Watching The Detectives
13. Radio Sweetheart / Jackie Wilson Said
14. Alison

Encore 1
15. She
16. National Ransom (very surprising new arrange!!!)

Encore 2
17. (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding?
18. Oliver's Army
19. I'm A Mess (Nick Lowe cover)
20. Pump It Up

I hope to post reports for the Japanese shows as well.
