I saw Nick Lowe last night,

[AmandaRuth]

i'm still processing, it was incredible. small club, sold out (of course), I felt like I was seeing the Beatles at the cavern club. I'm trying to remember everything he did, but Cruel to the Kind, Half a Boy, Tokyo Bay, Heart of the City, I knew the Bride, Peace Love and Understanding, and thats only what I can remember right off the top. I've been on the ceiling ever since, lucky lucky me. he opened his second set with this one.

1. and after he encore, people started leaving, and he comes back

on stage, and does an acoustic version of Allison,.... I mean

2. Cruel to be Kind is a top 5 pop song

I had no idea Peace Love…and Allison were Nick Lowe covers.

3. Elvis wrote Allison, i love how they do so much of each others material.

i'm still shaking at how good this was

7. Saw Nick Lowe and David Edmunds open for Elvis Costello

at Winterland in San Francisco as part of Costello's first American tour. Haven't followed new music of either for over 30 years. That concert was in 70s when a Cal undergrad.

5. Cruel To Be Kind

That tune is one of the great new wave tunes.
Jangly, catchy, excellent harmonies, and a fun video.
Did that tune back in '80-'82.

6. Cruel To Be Kind is one of my favorite songs! Nick Lowe looks so cool in the video too!
