Houston Setlist

Just got back from the Houston Symphony show. In general, a tighter sounding show than Austin. ATUB felt more rehearsed on its second play. Hora Decubitus showed up in the encore tonight, complete with Elvis on electric guitar taking the solo when the song goes into the sorta "swing" secti...

In response to JEM's questions: It started quite promptly at 8pm. Austin is a bad judge of dress code for just about anything---its a very "slacker casual" kind of town, where you can walk into just about any restaurant in town dressed in jeans and a t shirt. Most people were dressed "...

Just got back from the SXSW show in Austin at La Zona Rosa. I was directly under Mr. Costello, leaning against the rail in front of the stage for the whole show. Never thought I'd get to see EC in a place this small. A really beautiful show all around. The setlist was a lot like Dallas: King Horse U...

There's a whole lot of good music besides EC this week at various SXSW venues. My plan for getting into that show is ...

Houston notes

Saw Elvis in Houston last night, forgot to write the setlist down, so I'm working from memory here. I'm sure someone can correct me after the fact. ('Cause I know I'm out of order towards the end) You Belong to Me Uncomplicated Party Girl Beyond Belief Radio, Radio Country Darkness Needle Time Hidde...
