Multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell joined the fun to add oomph to the already muscle-bound Imposters, and Costello's expressive nasal bleat blended remarkably well with Harris' crystal-clear vocals. Recklessly fast versions of "Luxury Liner," Merle Haggard's "Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down" and Hank Williams' "Why Don't You Love Me (Like You Used to Do)" drew ovations. But it was the quieter stuff that made the biggest impression: the Louvin brothers' "My Baby's Gone" and "Sleepless Nights," which Harris first sang with her late partner Gram Parsons. | Multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell joined the fun to add oomph to the already muscle-bound Imposters, and Costello's expressive nasal bleat blended remarkably well with Harris' crystal-clear vocals.

After 11 songs, Harris and Campbell were gone. Costello and company performed a batch of songs from the new ''The Delivery Man'', with mixed results. The crowd stayed seated until "Pump It Up" and "Alison," which drew a sing-along so loud it rocked the Pavilion tent | After 11 songs, Harris and Campbell were gone. Costello and company performed a batch of songs from the new ''The Delivery Man'', with mixed results. The crowd stayed seated until "Pump It Up" and "Alison," which drew a sing-along so loud it rocked the Pavilion tent — and included snippets of "Suspicious Minds" by that other Elvis. | ||
Deadline forced an early exit, but the musicians were going strong at 10:45 p.m. Encore highlights included a terrific "Pancho and Lefty" by Harris and an inspirational version of the Stones' "Wild Horses" with great Costello/Harris vocals. Elvis and Emmylou are together only for a quickie two-week tour. It is a midsummer night's dream pairing. | Deadline forced an early exit, but the musicians were going strong at 10:45 p.m. Encore highlights included a terrific "Pancho and Lefty" by Harris and an inspirational version of the Stones' "Wild Horses" with great Costello/Harris vocals.
