Fortunately, Costello has allowed the ghost stories back home. Instead, a tour de force across the career of the 60-year-old Declan Patrick MacManus. He was alone on the stage.

The biggest surprise, however, is Costello's opening act "Larkin Poe". [[Rebecca Lovell | Rebecca]] and [[Megan Lovell]] from Atlanta playing American roots rock. The one mainly on the mandolin, the other on the Lapsteel guitar. Even the 45 minutes to heat up were awesome.
