Just back from Asheville. What a show. Loss of words other than wow. T Bone for two songs, stage invasions, crowd on its feet for the last hour. Once the set list is posted you will get a sense of how amazing. Asheville audiences are one of the best in the south and tonight was no exception.

Re: Elvis/Imposters, Asheville, NC July 19 '11
Those are great YT clips by rohbear. Looks like he recorded the entire show. I hope he's familiar with torrents, because this would make an excellent DVD.
BTW, has Pete ever worn a hat? Doubt it, but it would be fun for at least one night to see all 4 guys with lids!

Review: Costello spins gold at Wolfe Auditorium show
5:46 AM, Jul. 20, 2011 |
Written by Tony Kiss
ASHEVILLE — If the music game ever goes sour for Elvis Costello, the singer could probably find a whole new career as a game show host.
Costello morphed into a musical Bob Barker Tuesday night when his Spectacular Spinning Songbook show played Wolfe Auditorium. It was Costello’s first time in Asheville and he gave the crowd plenty to remember.
This was no typical rock show. Costello’s managed a mash-up of vaudeville, cabaret, kitschy 1960s go-go club with more than a touch of “The Price is Right” and “Wheel of Fortune.” Many surprises were packed into a long night of music, including an appearance by T. Bone Burnett late in the show.
Costello has revived the Spinning Songbook concept for this tour. The stage is filled with a multi-colored wheel containing dozens of songs. Some are Costello classics, some are written by others like the Beatles.
Costello did the “come on down” routine at Wolfe, beckoning contestants from their seats, and in some instances, coming off stage to find a player, and bring him or her into the show. Most of the contestants then took a spin on the wheel to determine the next tune by Costello and the Imposters.
Adding to the eclectic vibe was the go-go set – which included a beaded 1960s-like dancing cage and a vintage portable black-and-white TV that flashed with a static pulse.
Costello, looking sharp and usually wearing a fedora, was on his game. Inviting a contestant to take a seat, he allowed that the seats were a gift from “my good friend Rupert Mudoch."
Later: The big wheel had “the power of love," he declared. And there was a warning: “Believe me, the rapture is coming,” he proclaimed.
Musically, the show was all over the place but never slow. The first spin of the wheel yielded “This Wheel’s On Fire.” Then came “I Want You,” “Joanna,” “Episode of Blonde,” “Bedlam” and “Girl.”
Another game gimmick was the “Hammer of Songs,” a sort of strong man routine, in which a contestant pounded a bell-ringing carnival device to determine the next song. That brought “Pump It Up.”
To assure that some of the hits made it into the show, Costello sometimes took the music into his own hands, including such crowd favorites as “Radio Radio,” “Watching the Detectives,” “Chelsea,” “Alison” and “Peace Love and Understanding.”
Still, a few favorites never made it into the show: "Veronia" and "Everyday I Write the Book."
Late in the gig, he brought out his Burnett for a couple of tunes, including “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels.”
The crowd was into it through the night, jumping to its collective feet again and again. It all made for a memorable musical night.

Re: Elvis/Imposters, Asheville, NC July 19 '11
The YouTube videos are not too bad. It looked like a great show. T-BONE! Love that guy. And quite the ladies scene during Episode of Blonde. Nice. Of course, I'll be on the east coast right after this tour ends . I hope they roll that wheel through California again but, looking at the tour dates, it doesn't look like it will happen.

Thanks so much to the person who taped and posted this show! I'm Heather, I was the first 'spinner' of the night (This Wheel's On Fire). I was so excited to find these, have shared them on my FB page, love being able to prove that not only did I make it on stage, but got to dance in the 'cage' too! LOL
This was my second EC show, my first was back in 1989 (or '88) for the Spike tour. I've always wanted to try to see him again, have a large collection of his music, and when I heard he was coming to my 'backyard', I knew I had to be there. Never dreamed that I'd get to meet the man himself though!! Such a great and totally memorable night, definitely my best concert experience ever.
Thanks again!
