Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe

Lynah Rink, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY..... This was one of the best concerts I've ever attended. Me and the people I went with--my girlfriend Alyssa, and Tim and Chris--were all Elvis fans, and we had heard that he was doing a tour with a Spinning Songwheel: audience members would be brought up on stage to spin the wheel, and whatever song it landed on, Elvis would perform.
