Rock legend Elvis Costello must have surely passed through Knoxville during the past 25 years. He was, however, always on the way to a show somewhere else. | Rock legend Elvis Costello must have surely passed through Knoxville during the past 25 years.

In a little over two hours Costello performed 30 songs that stretched through his entire career — from his earliest songs, including the fun "Mystery Dance," to riveting numbers from his latest album ''The Delivery Man''. He even tossed in a spooky version of "Knoxville Girl" in recognition of his surroundings. | ||
The crowd at the sold-out Tennessee Theatre was a mixture of baby boomers, generation Xers and a few who must've been from generation Y. Costello seemed happy to deliver material from wherever an audience member stepped into his time line. After a pleasant set by Tift Merritt, Costello and his band the Imposters performed a relaxed rendition of "(Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes." | The crowd at the sold-out Tennessee Theatre was a mixture of baby boomers, generation Xers and a few who must've been from generation Y.

The Imposters are nearly Costello's original band the Attractions. Keyboardist Steve Nieve and drummer Bruce Thomas remain with the act. Only bassist Pete Thomas was absent, replaced by ace player Davey Farragher. | The Imposters are nearly Costello's original band the Attractions.

Costello took a moment to step to the edge of the stage and sing un-amplified while the audience listened in hushed silence. | ||
It was a beautiful end to an excellent show. Maybe the next time Costello's passing through, he'll decide to spend the night again. | It was a beautiful end to an excellent show. Maybe the next time Costello's passing through, he'll decide to spend the night again. | ||
