Only minor changes to the wheel (unless there's something new in the two hidden spots)...
The "Happy" jackpot replaces one of the Jokers.
"Sulky Girl" replaces "All This Useless Beauty."
"Doll Revolution" replaces "Shipbuilding."

Someone just got thrown out of the Elvis Costello show in Columbus Ohio. Who fights during mystery dance?
Elvis costello is doing watching the detectives and I couldn't be happier![]()

Maybe inviting the not-more-than-15yo wheel-spinner to DANCE IN THE FUCKING CAGE was not so cool. #lamebullshit
Elvis has entered the crowd; was about 7 feet away (I always like it when they do that)
Declan McManus, International Art Theif, just shook my hand. I'm suddenly fluent on guitar.
Wasn't fast enough with my camera but I was within 8" of Elvis - see the back of his impressive noggin!!! http://t.co/5g0MQwl

This is a wonderful picture of EC. Looks like he just open up the lost ark at the end of Raiders for all the wrong reasons.

CONCERT REVIEW | ELVIS COSTELLO
Wheel spins a memorable evening
Monday, June 20, 2011 12:46 AM
BY GARY BUDZAK
For The Columbus Dispatch
Elvis Costello's concert last night at the LC Pavilion was the greatest musical version of Wheel of Fortune these ears have yet heard.
This rock 'n' roll concert had all the elements of excellent entertainment, using a gimmick I remember Costello using many years ago - the spinning wheel.
This time, Costello's stage was dominated by the large, multicolored wheel with song titles or themes on each segment. He brought people from the audience to spin it. They got to stay on stage after they spun, lounging in seats Costello claimed were from Donald Trump, and often dancing in a go-go cage or even singing along with Costello.
For his part, Costello, 56, and still bespectacled, would say cheesy things as the wheel spun. He acted like a carnival barker or a game-show host, albeit one who could play a Fender Jazzmaster and Telecaster.
It was corny and ironic and cool, all at the same time, and it was the perfect way to shake up a set list with a couple decades' worth of excellent material. Costello has called himself the Scrabble champion of rock, and his mastery of the written and sung word was in evidence for about 21/2 hours, including encores.
Before spinning the wheel, a fedora-wearing Costello and his band the Imposters launched into I Hope You're Happy Now, Heart of the City (by Nick Lowe), Mystery Dance, a snippet of Shotgun, and Radio Radio.
"These are songs about love, sex, death and dancing - although not necessarily in that order," said Costello, who had changed into a top hat and was calling himself Napoleon Dynamite.
There were women dancing throughout the show in the go-go cage, and Costello himself even did a stint in it, and it reminded one of something out of Austin Powers or Laugh-In and worked as a gilded bird cage - at one point, Costello sang And Your Bird Can Sing from the Beatles' Revolver album (the name of Costello's tour, appropriately enough, was "The Revolver," on its fourth stop).
And the wheel revolved to reveal interesting facets of Costello's career - for example, there were four songs from the rollicking, underrated Get Happy album - I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down, High Fidelity, I Stand Accused and Riot Act.
Naturally, not every category could be delved into. For example, I would have loved to have heard "Country Darkness," whatever that might be, and favorites like Veronica did not get performed, but let's see, there were these great songs: Deep Dark Truthful Mirror, Watching the Detectives, Alison (with a line from Tracks of My Tears), Indoor Fireworks, Less Than Zero, Slow Drag of Josephine, (I Don't Want to Go to) Chelsea, (What's So Funny Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding, Every Day I Write the Book, a bluesy Pump it Up (with a bit of Busted) and a heartbreaking rendition of God Give Me Strength.

Re: Elvis and the Imposters, Columbus, OH, June 19 2011
it's so GREAT to see the return of "I STAND ACCUSED" as the song holds a VERY SPECIAL place in my personal archives. it was the first song i EVER saw him perform in 1979, a full nine months before it would be released! too bad about my thread pertaining to songs played by last night Beacon. i wish i had a REVOLVER setlist thread instead; but, i don't feel like doing the statistics all over again. anybody wanna take on the task? how cool would that be to see all the songs so far performed on REVOLVER TOUR???

It does make you wonder if Elvis or someone from his team reads the board...
Let's see, I would also include God give me strength in the list of great standalone songs that don't fit.

Glad to see I Stand Accused in the set list. It's weird that no recordings of the past few shows have shown up.
