Moore looked and sounded better than ever, blending perfectly with Elvis, shaking his body while belting out a powerful, soulful vocal performance that even left Costello in awe, beaming at Moore as he walked off stage. | ||

Elvis' stage personality now seems so relaxed and stylized, compared to the tense nervousness he projected in earlier shows where he sometimes alienated fans.

Lowe's keyboardist Paul Carrack, who played with the late Squeeze, sang "Tempted," his solo hit, "I Need You," and his own claim to fame Ace's hit "How Long has This Been Goin' On" which he wrote for them. Lowe sang many of his great hits including his latest "Half a Boy and Half a Man," "Stick it," and "Raging Eyes." His performance was so good that the crowd gave Lowe the same amount of applause as Costello. | ||
