Costello did a slow, soulful version of "I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down" at the grand piano, and the emotive anti-war "Shipbuilding" on the Wurlitzer electric. His ballad style further served on Dylan's "I Threw It All Away" and the Beatles' "Yes{{nb}}It{{nb}}Is." | Costello did a slow, soulful version of "I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down" at the grand piano, and the emotive anti-war "Shipbuilding" on the Wurlitzer electric.

Burnette opened the evening with a 14-song solo set which — while excellent — couldn't help but be overshadowed by Costello's. The lanky Texan humorized and moralized on songs ranging from a singalong version of "King Of The Road" to the unreleased "My Life And The Women Who Lived It." Burnette also used the occasion to announce his candidacy for president, saying: "I figured to pick up the ZZ Top spillover." | Burnette opened the evening with a 14-song solo set which — while excellent — couldn't help but be overshadowed by Costello's.
