Yes indeed. I'll be there, one row closer than the row I sat in for my first Elvis show ever at the same venue...Feb 28, 1978!

Twitter report:
Did he really play "Brown Sugar"? Maybe she meant "Happy"?Elvis costello;s band has a old country westwrn sound.
Elvis and the Sugarcanes just played a country, slowed down version of Blame It On Cain. Double entendre?

Elvis Costello is in fine voice tonight. Lingering over notes and caressing them like few can. Versatile, very.
Love the sugarcaneish version of "A Brilliant Mistake."
Everyday I Write the Book, slow and soulful. Elvis costello and the sugarcanes are awesomw.
Complicated Shadows
The angels want to wear my red shoes . Slow, plaintive, aching.
Now elvis costello is playing Brown Sugar, slower, richer, joyful, happy stylee, it suits.

By the time this tour's wrapped up, they'll have covered the entire Mick Taylor era! I hear they're working up a mean version of Cocksucker Blues for the Liverpool show.

Fun show with good sound. The Warner is a good venue for EC. Hope he makes it his DC venue of choice.

Elvis Costello and the Sugarcanes Wow at the Warner
Going Country With the Sugarcanes
By ALFREDO FLORES
Fri, Apr 23, 2010
If it weren't for the giant cup of tea he was sipping throughout his performance at the Warner Theater, you could have sworn that Elvis Costello has been crooning country in Nashville for decades rather than rocking out in his native London. But it's the country Costello that the audience was treated to, throwback honkytonk tracks off of last year's "Secret, Profane & Sugarcane" -- the name coming from the superb six-piece band, Sugarcanes, that played alongside Elvis in D.C.
Leading the Sugarcanes was country and bluegrass veteran Jim Lauderdale, his stellar high pitch blending perfectly with Costello's deep, brassy tones. Lauderdale, who talked to both fans and reporters after the concert, said he linked up with Costello three years ago after the two performed at many of the same music festivals.
Best known for his work in the new wave genre, Costello took a page from his own history book by going country for the first time since his 1981 "Almost Blue" album. And the results were stellar. Costello's live set showcased last year's singles "My All Time Doll" and "Sulphur and Sugarcane," with the Sugarcanes providing mandolin, accordion, bass, fiddle -- and, heck, even the dobro, to go along with Costello's multiple guitars.
In the middle of his nearly two-hour set, Costello invited his most vocal fans to join him up front, saying, "It'll be like a giant tea party." And what a party it was.
For fans of Lauderdale, he'll return to the D.C. area May 20 to perform at the Iota Club in Arlington to promote the soon-to-be-released album "Patchwork River."
