| J-Card Comment | Elvis Costello with the Confederates Vanderbilt University Nashville, TN November 7, 1987 In November '87 EC played a short, five city tour in the southern states with the Confederates. Three of these shows were taped by a friend and I, each running our own decks. I think these shows have been uploaded before in some from, but since if wasn't by he or I, it wasn't from the master of either version. I downloaded one of them, but didn't study it enough to determine which version it was. I did notice that it was noticeably off-speed (fast). This upload is from my master and is at the correct speed. These shows are unique and great. Nick Lowe opened the shows then joined the Confederated on rhythm guitar and backing vocals for the rest of the show. Lots of King of America material, some cool covers and some pre-Spike Spike songs. Plus, a John Hiatt guest appearance. The sound of these shows are excellent. Nashville is the better, longer show, but Tulsa has the best sound. Tulsa will follow in a couple of days. Austin, which is still on cassette at this point, will follow...someday. Two slight issues with the Nashville show. Very end of Everyday is cut due to tape roll out, and par of He'll Have to Go is a bit muffled. I had to momentarily lower the mic because of snooping ushers. All other issues have been repaired. All tape flips repaired. Enjoy.
