Costello also faced the tough task of wowing a big crowd with a format he used at Park West. His only accompaniment was his longtime keyboardist Steve Nieve, whose flourishes drove strong, stripped-down arrangements of early Costello songs "Talking in the Dark," "Accidents Will Happen" and the ever-tense "Watching the Detectives" — but whose cocktail-like tinkling undercut the brittleness of "Inch By Inch." | Costello also faced the tough task of wowing a big crowd with a format he used at Park West.

But he and the band found their groove as they performed the new "Back on Top" and more of the horn-driven rhythm-and-blues that characterizes his recent output. | Morrison's set began as if it were the Van Morrison Revue: He sang the opening verses of "Moondance," wandered off stage as his seven-piece band traded overly tasty saxophone, organ and guitar solos, and returned just in time to finish the song.
