Elvis Costello w/Clover and Pete Thomas.
I think it would have been a treat even for non fans but at $100.usd a head I suppose it was mostly hardcore fans and some supporters perhaps of the cause as it was a benefit for:

{The Richard de Lone Special Housing Project is a newly formed nonprofit agency with the mission of working toward providing a state-of-the-art residential group home setting in Marin County, California, capable of serving both children and adults with Prader-Willi Syndrome and utilizing best practice techniques to serve the Prader-Willi population. By extension, we hope to be able to benefit all people who need to live in special care facilities. }
Clover had John McFee jammin' the awesome slide guitar and regular guitar and some other guys who were later The News of Huey Lewis fame. So they played My Aim Is True in it's entirety in the order of the Lp w/some Elvis stories in between like how they told them not to turn of the lights in the room they were staying in cuz of rats and how Huey Lewis came back late one night w/the mgr and Elvis woke up and heard scratching and turned on the lights to get his shoes and saw all the rats and thats when he wrote Blame It On Cain. It was all so awesome and the whole audience seemed to know everyword and then at the almost end they used Watching The Detectives for and encore and so that still wasn't very long so E.C. did some REALLY obscure stuff he had written in those days by himself for a while then brought the band back for some country stuff.. Oh yeah and only diversion from the Lp was in the end of Waiting For The End of The World when he started singing G-L-O-R-I-A gloria ..... hah aha back to the country stuff including Radio Sweetheart and Stranger In the House. In a way it was really for the afficianado's like me :-) but nevertheless it was most awesome!
Some of his old stuff had lines he later used like from Big Sisters Clothes, and darn memory of mine but they did a really wierd version of Living In Paradise and just lines would pop out that i'd recognize in wierd songs...
Worth every buck'o. Thanks for reading,

Re: Elvis Costello w/Clover and Pete Thomas.
Wed, November 21, 2007 - 12:32 AMLucky guy. I didn't hear of this gig until it was sold out. But, then, I couldn't have afforded $100 anyway. Though the cause is admirable.
