Ryman Gig Tonight!!
Well, just a few hours until showtime. DrS and I will be leaving Huntsville soon. Hopefully everything will work out for Moody and LTZ to meet us for dinner. Unfortunately Cosmos won't be able to make it tonight.
Anyone got any ideas or guesses on what he might sing tonight? With this combination of him and Steve and the Brodskys, I'm just not sure.
But I hope he plays at least one song from KOA.
Someone pinch me!!!!!

Well, Blue, not quite a complete KOA setlist. But what a happy camper I am. Except for the camera nazis who caught me snapping pics - right in the middle of Brilliant Mistake - and threatened to take away my camera. Other than that, a fantastic night.
It's almost 2:00 am and I just got back home. I must decipher my own setlist, but I think I counted 31 songs! I'm not going to get much sleep tonight since I have to take kids to school in the morning, so the setlist should be up in 4 or 5 more hours.
Just an amazing night. He loves the Ryman and we all loved him. Got to meet LTZ, saw Moody again, and got my pic made with Elvis!!!!! Got him to sign KOA!!!! Met Jacqueline from the Brodskys and she signed my TJL. And that art project that my daughter did on Little Palaces a few months ago - I took it and Elvis stood and looked at it for a while. He even told me thanks for sharing it with him and that it was really special. He asked for Jessica's name and wrote a personal note to her - she's going to flip when she sees it in the morning!!
I still have so much more to say, but I've got to grab a couple hours of sleep!!!! Cheers to my kids for being so good while I was gone - going to bed on time and everything. Great kids.
Thanks for all the well wishes from you guys. I love this board - you guys are the best.
Setlist in a few hours - I promise.

I am so excited for you! I'm so glad you had such a great time at the show. It looks like it was a pretty unique setlist. It's so exciting!!! I've been living off of everyone elses enthusiasum and excitement in anticipation of each show.
And WOW!! Not only did you meet the man but seemed to have had several meaningful exchanges with him! How cool is that? (I'm so jealous!)
I don't know if you spoke of it before, but I'd imagine that your daughter WOULD flip having had Elvis give her project a look. I don't know what it was about (but Little Palaces is a fav of mine).
It's all so incredible! Glad you and your hubby had a great time too.
Looking forward to seeing your pics too.

I do have a couple of revisions to that setlist. I don't know who posted that on the elviscostello.info site, but he definitely did NOT play Sleep of the Just though - I would have remembered that. You guys know I would have detected another KOA song. Was on the 4th row - would have seen it AND heard it.
I've been up for the past hour typing my setlist, and it's basically the same, except for the Sleep of the Just, and a reverse order of a couple of the last encores. But I'm going to post mine anyhow.

Steve was wonderful, as expected, and the Brodskys exceeded even my already high opinion of them. They were just fabulous. Don't ever let it be said that a string quartet can't jam. I don't know why I didn't think to use the camera when I was talking to Jacqueline. I was just so excited that I caught her before she left.
Me and DrS with The Man (you'd think black leather jackets were required)
And some shots of The Professor
I'm going to write more notes later - I'm getting four kids ready for school on about 2-1/2 hours sleep! This was just an incredible show.

This is my daughter's art project on Little Palaces that Elvis was very happy about signing. He listened to me explain the whole thing and wrote all the way across the bottom. Since it was in black ink on black paper it didn't photograph very well from a distance, so I got a close up of just a portion of it.
The entire signature said, "To Jessica, thank you for doing this! Love, Elvis Costello. And yes, she was thrilled to see it this morning. She's getting it framed. I think it was something really unique in the middle of albums, cds, and the like that people were asking him to sign and he was really impressed.
And after all that about being so scared to be near him, I knew that Jessica wanted that signed by him so much, so I found myself up in front of him, explaining it and having it signed - and then hugging him and telling him thank you - without even realizing what I was doing until it was mostly over. You do what you have to for your kids. And I was glad in the end.

Spooky - I am so pleased for you. You seemed to have the most amazing time and Elvis sounded like he was on good form too! Didn't I tell you he would nice? Great pictures too although Paddy doesn't look too pleased! I take it the others enjoyed it too
Great setlist. I'm glad he did Real Emotional Girl. He did it at the Sold on Song show. I'm glad it got a wider audience.
I bet you knew it was going to be your night when Elvis did Brilliant Mistake second song into the set!

Spooky was typing as I crashed last night and again when I woke up. It was a great show with wonderful things happening before and after. I don't see that Spooky mentioned we all met at a local pub (Mulligan's) a few blocks form the Ryman before the show. They were fabulous enough to indulge us and played what seemed to be all of This Year's Model for us.
The show itself was incredible. Spooky wanted to see all the "Elvi" and I don't see how he could have covered many other musical areas. The sound was nothing less than superb and he even sang some parts unmiked which tells you a lot about the man and the venue.
I saw him on the Almost Blue tour at the new Grand Old Opry House and country Elvis at the Ryman is even better.
What else can I say? The setlist and photos are already there. A good time was had by all.

Spooky et al (but esp Spooky!) I am soooo happy for you.
That's a great story. I've only ever had one thing signed by him and that too was for someone else-- it's a good motivator!!
Funny, I had a dream last night that I talked to Elvis about The Board. He was nonplussed until I mentioned his having met Lapinsjolis & Mr. Misery at Clearwater, then he was all excited. Of course, that was a dream. In the dream I also left a really expensive movie camera at my seat and it got stolen, but that wasn't Elvis's fault really...
PS, VG it is Paddy's job to look un-pleased and damn he does it well, no?

SMM - yes. But he's a lovely man in real life! He tried to convince me and my mate at the Royal Festival Hall that Steve wasn't around to speak to because he'd left early out of the main entrance to go to a lap dancing club. He almost had us believing him (for a nanosecond!).
