Lupo's Report

"If you are an Elvis fan, Lupos was one of those nights you won't forget. The first set was a 90 minute version of what he's been playing on tour recently -- a good mix of the mellow and hard rocking stuff, with most of the latter being the better known and more widely played stuff (including Oliver's Army which he rarely plays any more)

The second show was unbelievable, two+ hours with most of the show being solid, straight ahead hard rocking/punk rock. Anyone thinking Costello has lost something or mellowed had to see this show -- much more hard rocking than any of his previous concerts with little repeat from the first set. Included Accidents, Watching the Detectives, Alison which weren't played the first set and a bunch of lesser known hard rocking songs, plus a great performance of I want you.

Oh yeah I forgot. Dancing girls onstage during the second set main set closer pump it up. Funniest thing when one tried to rub Elvis' head while he was playing, he was like a married man in a strip club running away from a lap dance.

3 1/2 hours of Elvis in a club that only holds several hundred people I believe that provided a combination of the most variety and most energy you will ever see from him in an evening."
