When Costello melodramatically announced at the end of the show, "We don't know when we'll see you again, or if we'll ever see you again." it wasn't coming from the pique of a singer who wants to break free of his band. It was coming from the restless artistic spirit of one of the most vital singer-songwriters of the rock era. Seeing him live, with the best band he has ever played with, is a summer musical thrill not to be missed. | When Costello melodramatically announced at the end of the show, "We don't know when we'll see you again, or if we'll ever see you again." it wasn't coming from the pique of a singer who wants to break free of his band.

By the way, the show is also one of the better values of the summer, since the opening act could be headliners themselves, the Canadian group Crash Test Dummies. A ubiquitous MTV presence with their supremely catchy hit, "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm." this group offers a melodic blend of pop-rock, and lead singer Brad Roberts's deep bass voice is one of the most distinctive in rock. He also offers witty deadpan commentary, with a delivery that blends Tom Snyder and Frank Zappa. | By the way, the show is also one of the better values of the summer, since the opening act could be headliners themselves, the Canadian group [[Crash Test Dummies]].
