Costello fronts bill for Rockin’ at the Knox
By Mark Sommer
NEWS STAFF REPORTER
07/11/07
Elvis Costello, the musician, songwriter and composer who began his career as a New-Wave sensation, will be headlining this year’s Rockin’ at the Knox on Friday, Sept. 7.
Also performing will be acclaimed Canadian singer-songwriter Feist and 20-year-old Scottish singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini.
Rockin’ at the Knox has been an evening entertainment event for more than 10 years, but in 2005 Albright- Knox Art Gallery Director Louis Grachos moved it outside with live national acts. Costello follows fellow New-Wave band Blondie, who performed last year, and Wilco and My Morning Jacket in 2005. The concert is held outside the gallery, rain or shine, along the Elmwood Avenue entrance.
In past years, the performance has been part of a multi-tiered event, with art inside the gallery and music outside, and with several local bands playing throughout the day.
Tickets for the event, which will run from 3 to 11 p.m., are $40 in advance and $45 at the door, and go on sale Friday. Tickets are available at the museum’s admissions desk, online at Ticketmaster. com, and Ticketmaster outlets in Macy’s department stores. To charge by phone, call 852-5000.
The ticket provides all-day entrance to the gallery’s exhibitions “Remix: The Collection,â€

I'll be there. It's my first Elvis show and I can't wait. It's taking him forever to play a Canadian date so I'll make the trip to the States for this one.
I'll still have to see him sometime with the full band, but I've heard solo shows of his and they are also mind blowing. As long as he plays "Indoor Fireworks" I'll be happy.
Will Nieve be playing with him?

Elvis and Steve were incredible. There were some heavy rains and winds during Feist's set so we were kind of scared that Elvis would cancel. However, the tickets said rain or shine and the art gallery probably didn't want 5000 people demanding their money back so the boys soldiered on. However, their set was cut short so many of the songs on the setlist weren't played.
Here are the ones that they cut from the setlist:
Brilliant Mistake
Town Cryer/45
American Without Tears
Blue Chair
So Like Candy
The River in Reverse
Deep Dark Truthful Mirror
New Amsterdam
One more thing, The Scarlet Tide and PLU were switched around at the end. We were worried that Elvis would be in a grumpy mood due to the weather, but he was extremely playful all night and seemed to be genuinely enjoying himself. Nieve was incredible to watch as well. Not too bad for my first Elvis show, but I wish he would've played for longer. There's always next time. I'll be uploading a full video of "Man Out of Time" to youtube sometime in the future. I'll post a link when I do.
Here are some scans of the setlist.

Could anyone tell me which ones these were? Unless by "years" he literally meant two.johnfoyle wrote:

The headliner performed songs he hasn’t played in years,
I agree with SoLack. The setlist looks a bit tired. It would have been great to hear Town Cryer though - a truly genuine exception.
Does Alison (30:10) mean he sang the 2007 version of Alison as evidenced on the US tour?
Who’s this kid with his mumbo jumbo?
I don't know about the setlist seeming tired.
Mind you, Elvis could take the stage and read the fine print on a loan application and I would feel like I had gotten my money's worth.
I have seen him several times now and every show was a completely different experience, but with one thing in common.........I was awestruck.
I love to hear him pull a song completely out of his ass just like everyone else, but never have any complaints when there are no suprises.
To me, just getting to see someone so utterly talented in action is something I could never tire of.
I'll stop now.

Val, I think you may have found the root of the discussion here regarding who thinks the setlist is tired and who doesn't. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that we are females and, while we do love his music, that's not entirely all we love about him.
Loan application, stereo instructions. . . . . .

I would reply to this obsurd notion but I have to go re-catalog my EC CD collection for the 47th time.spooky girlfriend wrote:Val, I think you may have found the root of the discussion here regarding who thinks the setlist is tired and who doesn't.
