Vancouver Tease Report

Sounds like the tour had quite a finale:

"Quickie report:
* Six new songs!!!
* Dumbass heckler gets shot down by Elvis!
* THREE encores!
* Unamplified third encore (I Still Have That Other Girl, The Birds Will Still Be Singing, CCIU4)!!
* Unamplified Still Too Soon To Know in the middle of the set!!
* "If you read your history books, you remember that Bob Dylan got booed when he went electric. This is the first time I've been booed for just playing music."
* "His mother probably told him to come home early, so he didn't want to miss the rock 'n roll."
* (To the heckler) "You know where the door is."
* "In the words of another Irish poet, 'we really mean it, man.'"
* Meet 'n greet: some guy apologized for the heckler, but, to paraphrase Elvis, "it made for a better show."
* The Krall family was there! (which explains why this show was so great)
* Steve on fire!!!
* Homeless spoon guy got an autograph and played Tube Snake Boogie for us, and Elvis had us applaud.
