Late Delivery
From the Memphis Commercial Appeal: Elvis Costello and the Imposters perform with special guest Emmylou Harris in two sold-out shows 8:30 and 11 p.m. tonight at the Hi-Tone, 1913 Poplar.
A limited number of tickets at $25 will be released before each show, however, according to club owner David Green. "It could be 5 or 70," he says, citing the need to first accommodate Costello's film crew before deciding how many additional people to let in. Around 425 total tickets have been sold, not including some 50 comps per show. Green hopes to be able to squeeze in 300 folks at each show.
Originally scheduled to start at 10:30 (as stated in Memphis Playbook) the late show has been pushed back to handle the expected walk-ups, ticket checks and crowd transfer between shows. Call 278-8663 for more info.Costello's only other scheduled U.S. appearance will be Sunday
