I would have liked to hear a few more Costello songs than those he played (and, for that matter, I didn't hear "What The World Needs Now", "One Less Bell To Answer" or my all-time favorite Bacharach tune, "Don't Make Me Over"), but there was more than enough of both of them to go around; every song on "Painted From Memory" was played tonight. Here is what I remember (all songs from the new album are marked with an asterisk for those who don't have it): EC played the first verse and the chorus of "Baby It's You" on acoustic guitar behind the curtain, then introduced BB as the curtain rose on the 30-something-piece orchestra. Then... Toledo*--it's odd that they started off with the one song from their album that I cannot, for the life of me, get out of my head. Such Unlikely Lovers* This House Is Empty Now* Tears At The Birthday Party* I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself--I think most EC fans have heard by now that he loved to play this one years ago with The Attractions. By the way, Steve Nieve was onstage and in full effect tonight. At this point, EC left the stage, and BB kicked off a medley of songs he wrote (mostly with Hal David, he mentioned) for movies: The Look Of Love (from "Casino Royale", not "Austin Powers", for you youngsters out there) Arthur's Theme (The Best That You Can Do) What's New, Pussycat? A song I didn't recognize (I came for Elvis, dammit!) Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head--Burt invited us all to sing along on the last verse on this one...and we did. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Another unrecognized tune Alfie Yet more unrecognized Then another medley: Walk On By Reach Out For Me Yet still more unrecognized again I Say A Little Prayer Trains And Boats And Planes Wishin' And Hopin' (There's) Always Something There To Remind Me Return of the son of unrecognized Then EC rejoined the festivities: Painted From Memory* What's Her Name Today* Then Burt left Elvis unattended with all those musicians. He didn't waste any time: Accidents Will Happen--a breathtaking arrangement for the full orchestra by Steve Nieve, based on his piano arrangement heard on the Hollywood High live recording. Just incredible. Veronica--just EC on acoustic guitar and Steve on piano until the end, when everyone suddenly bursts in for a big finish. Still Too Soon To Know Just A Memory--an EC arrangement for full orchestra. Almost Blue Alison--another EC arrangement. Way cool. Burt returned for: In The Darkest Place* The Long Division* My Thief* I Still Have That Other Girl* The Sweetest Punch*--at the end of which EC and BB took a bow and left the stage, orchestra still playing. They came back and turned the band off, and went forth into the encore: My Little Red Book--this one took me by surprise a little bit, considering that the only version I had heard of this song was by Arthur Lee and Love. This version was very different and, I imagine, closer to what Bacharach had intended. Anyone Who Had A Heart Before the final encore, Burt introduced the orchestra (all by name except the strings), and then they launched into the killer finale, God Give Me Strength*. (By the way, if you haven't seen the movie this song came from, "Grace Of My Heart", don't bother. It's rather deeply flawed.) It's a shame the tour wasn't longer, so more people could see them. If you missed it, I hope this helps a little.

I mean , one of the worst consequences of heroin use in a social respect is the huge degree of prostitution, burlary and drug dealing that goes on to support the addiction .I don't see why the awful social consequences of alcohol abuse should be ommitted from any study as it often leads to risky behaviour and violence. We are always hearing the stories of LSD takers who think they can fly and other horror stories , but this is far less prevalent than those who get in a car after drinking and drive.Like wise the drunken wifebeater, millions of those around who only beat on the misses when they are full of booze. The drug does influence these behaviours in many cases , because it loosens inhibitions. If we are going to equate Alcohol as LESS dangerous than LSD ( which is dubious, especially seeing some of the binge drinking that goes on amongst kids nowadays ) then we need to take a holistic approach rather than just a clinical one.Of course controlled booze use can be mildly beneficial, but you don't need to drink very much on a regular basis to cause lasting damage to almost every organ in the body, including the brain.Over the years, I've known LOTS of people with major booze problems , drinking two or three bottles of spirits a day,but very , very few people who have addictions or brain damage from use of hallucinogens ( but then I must admit for the last 20 years I've not known many people who take major hallucinogens , so perhaps my example is'nt a very good one). . dave ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Oct 1998 03:29:59 -0700 From: Eb Subject: Re: Elvis Costello/Typical Ebbish Post-Show Indulgencies West: >I got back from the Universal Amphitheatre a little while ago, and I >just thought I would tell you all that I enjoyed the show tremendously. Me too. Actually, I was more impressed by Bacharach than Costello, in a way. I really got a sense of Bacharach's "vision" -- that entire band (all 25-30 members) were just SO in his back pocket. He really gave me an intrinsic sense of awe, somehow. So much leadership. So much easy-going confidence. So much star quality. What a stud. :) >I would have liked to hear a few more Costello songs than those he >played (and, for that matter, I didn't hear "What The World Needs Now", >"One Less Bell To Answer" or my all-time favorite Bacharach tune, "Don't >Make Me Over"), but there was more than enough of both of them to go >around; every song on "Painted From Memory" was played tonight.

This version was very different and, I imagine, closer to >what Bacharach had intended. Yeah, I heard Love's version first also. The chords in the Bacharach version are a bit more peculiar, and a bit jarring if you're used to the Love version. Especially right before the chorus -- the Bacharach version is much more "minor." As for MY night, well...uh, good news and bad news. Good news: My seat turned out to be FANTASTIC. First row, first section, just behind the "pit" (which contained eight rows of folding chairs). Several celebrities nearby (woo, starfucking content...and plenty more to come): Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Penn & Aimee Mann, T-Bone Burnett & Sam Phillips and...BLOSSOM. I liked the show a lot (Costello/Bacharach, not "Blossom"). It's so rare that I see a sitdown arena concert that they always feel kinda special, even if the show sucks (this one definitely didn't). It was also neat seeing a show with strings -- that's a rarity too. Especially THAT many string players. And it was downright eerie somehow, hearing those Bacharach arrangements performed live. You hear the records and the playing is so seamless, you don't even picture it being made by human beings. :) I enjoyed the whole damn thing, minus two painful moments: 1) Burt playing "Arthur's Theme" during his solo set. Hearing schlock like this during an *Elvis Costello* concert is deeply incongruous. Yuck. 2) Burt doing "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head," and asking the audience to SING ALONG. Arrrrrrgh. And what's more, they DID! And boy, Burt may be a brilliant composer/arranger, but he sure ain't no singer. Now, what you're come for: heavy self-indulgent starfucking content, such that comes from me late at night when I have a post-show adrenaline buzz going and can't sleep. I had a pass to go to the backstage patio area after the show, and also to an even more select backstage area behind a barrier. Back there, the stars included Penn and Mann, Gina Gershon, Bob Saget (eek!), Paul Reiser, Carole King, Cait O'Riordan (of course), Steve Nieve, David Was, George Thorogood (what was HE doing there???) and "E" from the eels. Wow! I'm probably forgetting someone, too. And oh yes, Burt and Elvis. I got to meet both of them briefly. Well, moreso Elvis than Burt. I was moaning to myself, however, because I don't have the Costello/Bacharach disc yet (damn it) and thus couldn't bring it with me. If I had it, I definitely would've brought it with me, having such a rare opportunity to get it signed by two legends. Oh well. But now I've hugged Damo Suzuki and talked with Elvis Costello. I guess that I can die happy (uhh, fat chance). So that was a lot of fun. But then, I guess I had to get the karmic leveler. Ah, life. OK, because I was at the backstage after-party, I was among the last to leave the venue. I didn't want to pay the $8 or whatever to park in the parking structure, so I parked about a quarter-mile away on the street (a main drag that runs parallel to the freeway). So it's about 12:15 am now. I walked back to my car, and the window on the driver's side had been smashed out! JEEZ, what a week I'm having. "Eb vs. Machines, Film at 11"! First the computer. Then the VCR (I had to take it apart today, to extract the errant Ally McBeal tape). Now this. Gawwd. A cop car drove by as I was shoveling the abundant litter of glass off my seat, and didn't even slow down. Hmpf. Cut my finger cleaning away the fragments, too. My car is absolutely full of glass shards. It's gonna take quite awhile to clean that mess up. And I was planning to see Cracker tomorrow night, but now I probably can't go because I'm sure not going to park a windowless car up in LA. Phooey. Every time Cracker comes to town, something weird and against-odds happens to keep from seeing them. Eerie. Anyway, so I have kinda mixed feelings about the night. A free ticket isn't so sweet when your car bill is going to be far more. I'd have gladly traded some celebrity encounters for a nice shiny window.

Hmmm... Well, in a long forgotten and misguided youth, I was a big fan of hallucinogens. The silly mushrooms, the reverant blotter and the god-like desert flower, to name a few. And my, ahem, experimentation lasted for 6 years or so, not counting any X experiences which wasn't around back then. I grew up with alcoholics. I come from a family of alcoholics. My memories were of a dark house with dark people who drank too much and screamed at each other until one of them passed out or was hauled away by some government agency. And I began to get away from them and look into myself. Of course I listened to alot of Floyd at the time, but the two were not necessary to acheive a high. I found it a key to opening the gates of my mind. I never wrote the great american novel while high (although i did write a 5 page poem once which is as "in the moment" as you could ever read about the experience as it was happening at the time). I read "The Old Man and the Sea" one night while tripping. All I'm saying is some folks have the ability to manage that kind of external brain stimulation and not suffer damage (well, there is this permanent eye twitch and this hump on my back and the drooling which I can't control ). Maybe I'd be brilliant now if I hadn't killed brain cells but, like everyone on this list, I don't do too bad in the intellegence department as it is. I was listening to Alan Watts and reading Jack Kerouac and Alan Ginsberg and Carlos Castenada and meeting adults who talked to me about the world as something other than republicans and democrats. At 16 my eyes opened and they haven't closed and I am pretty happy to have had the use of a helper such as a hallucinogen to get out of that narrow minded suburban mentality. Not that I wouldn't have found the path without the help of peyote or L, just that the finding was accelerated. My day to day sober life as it is now is a joy and is enhanced through some of the "eyes" hallucinogens gave me. (Of course, when we used to time our peaks to meet up with Garcias' spaceouts, now THAT was over-indulgence - but hey, we were young...)
