Stones fans review EC's opening slot

...Elvis Costello warmed up the crowd by playing a solid 45-minute set. The crowd was attentive and appreciative during the set...

...We're both big fans of Elvis Costello and he did a great job opening up, especially with a closing run of 4 of his best hit songs...

...Elvis Costello put on a solid high energy performance as the opener. I'm not sure how he got the gig, he even mentioned that he was surprised to be opening for the Stones, but I'd recommend that they add him to more shows if possible. He played a tight powerful mix of his best songs. Everything from "I don't want to go to Chelsea" to "Radio,Radio" & "Watching the Detectives"...

...Up first was another seasoned pro, new-waver Elvis Costello. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominee and his Imposters band made the most of their opening slot, delivering passionate renditions of "Alison" (punctuated with a few bars of "Suspicious Minds"), a timely "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding" and "Pump It Up."...
