Backstage after the show, Costello is mellow. He was surprisingly affable, soft-spoken and good-natured. He obligingly signed autographs, discussed musical roots and his opinion of groups that had covered some of his songs. While band members Steve Neive, Bruce Thomas, Pete Thomas mingled with guests, Costello, clad in a dark gray suit and sporting black-framed glasses with blue lenses, remained seated on a couch. Asked about the long sets of encores, he replied: "Our first show (of the tour) was an hour and 45 minutes with no encore. We got booed because we didn't come back out, so we changed it to a one-hour show and a 45-minute encore." (The show at Sunrise was longer.) "I think encores are silly, but Americans seem to like encores. You think you're getting more or something. But it does allow us to present different material, like Webb Pierce's 'Wondering'. It enables us to change the pace of the show. We can do songs we don't get a chance to do during the show." | Backstage after the show, Costello is mellow.
