From: "Andrew R. Neumeyer" Terrific show at the Universal Amphitheatre this evening. Lucky me, I get to see the band again on Friday (thanks, Aaron). Here's the set list of thirty songs: No Action High Fidelity The Beat Pony St. Beyond Belief Sulky Girl London's Brilliant Parade Deep Dark Truthful Mirror You Tripped At Every Step 20% Amnesia Clown Strike Kinder Murder Hand In Hand Rocking Horse Road Still Too Soon To Know Everyday I Write The Book Watching The Detectives You Belong To Me Just About Glad Mystery Dance 13 Steps Lead Down Radio, Radio 1st encore: Lipstick Vogue Party Girl 2nd encore: Puppet Girl Alison Man Out Of Time 3rd encore: All The Rage (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding Pump It Up Some observations: I'm not sure which is the bigger surprise -- that he performed "Everyday I Write The Book," or that he dropped "Veronica" in order to do so. I guess he won't do both of his two biggest hits (in the U.S.) in the same show. By the way, right before he did "Everyday I Write The Book," he sang the first line of The Beatles' "Do You Want To Know A Secret?" No, I have no idea why. Not surprisingly, most of the audience seemed mystified by "Puppet Girl." It seems odd that Elvis would do the ONLY very unusual song in the set as an encore. The line "You're spellbound baby/There's no doubting that" in "Deep Dark Truthful Mirror" was sung instead as "You're spellbound baby/That's where it's at." Has he done that in the previous shows? At first I had been thinking that the set was unusually geared toward the early Elvis albums, but then it occurred to me that the set is actually built around just two of his albums: _This Year's Model_ (seven songs, including "Radio, Radio") and _Brutal Youth_ (twelve songs). There may actually be some logic to this overview, since these two albums are the first and last to feature The Attractions. Most of the remaining songs in tonight's show are the fairly obvious "hits" ("Beyond Belief," "Everyday I Write The Book," "Watching The Detectives," "Alison," "Man Out Of Time," and "Peace, Love And Understanding"). The remaining five songs are the only oddities: "High Fidelity," "Deep Dark Truthful Mirror," "Mystery Dance," "Party Girl," and "Puppet Girl." Any thoughts?
