@kjweisner - Did you see the Elvis Costello show last week? Just curious as I'm seeing Elvis Costello and the Imposters next month. I saw Elvis Costello with Larkin Poe and The Preservation Hall Jazz Band last October at the Ryman in Nashville and it was fantastic!
@reubent I did see the show and it could not have been better! Great seats and an outdoor venue so avoided all the sonic issues of an enclosed environment. The performance was just unbelievably good, starting with the fact that the musical theme was the Imperial Bedroom album which is my favorite. 2.25 hours overall that just flew by. Pete Thomas is a way better drummer than I ever realized and of course Steve Nieve is a huge and integral talent and contributor to Elvis' sound. EC actually reminds me of Springsteen in terms of performance work ethic and has a great stage presence. Would love to catch another show on this tour!
Richard Thompson. Last Friday @ Westbrook Performing Arts Center. Played solo and only used 1 guitar for nearly 2 hours. When he played and sang Vincent Black Lightning 1952 I swore he has 15 fingers. A really great show and a great 1000 seat venue. It's at the junior high school and sponsored by the city of Westbrook.
Richard Thompson is okay, but he's no Jerry Garcia ;-). Love Richard, seen him a few times, have all his albums, as well as all the Fairport Convention ones.
