The evening was not solely devoted to old favorites, however, and if the seven or eight new songs he performed were an indication of what's to come on the next album, fans are in for some solid stuff. One tune, co-written with Jerry Dammers of Special A.K.A., was apparently titled "Your Girlfriend Is What I Like Best About You," and is easily one of the most humorous efforts Costello has ever been involved with. "Only Flame In Town" was another counttryish foray, while "Worthless Thing" seemed to be a putdown of cable television. "Peace In Our Time," an import single which Costello released under the pseudonym "The Imposter, is a powerful anti-war anthem. | The evening was not solely devoted to old favorites, however, and if the seven or eight new songs he performed were an indication of what's to come on the next album, fans are in for some solid stuff.

The folk roots that Burnett showcased here reminded old-timers of his stint with Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue tour nearly 10 years ago, and also proved Just how similar Burnett is to the unadorned Dylan. | ||
