Anyone here going?

Taste of Minnesota has new owners, a new admission policy and a new hard-rocking attitude. Previously free, the music-and-food fest is now charging $10, but that gets you 10 bucks worth of food/drink coupons. Staind, masters of rock angst in the early '00s, will headline Thursday (with Quietdrive, Halestorm and Chevelle opening). Still-rockin' metal gods Judas Priest and the better forgotten Whitesnake turn up the volume July 3. Elvis Costello, the always terrific Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, is set for July 4. Beaned-on-Broadway reality-TV superstar Bret Michaels parties on July 5. Fireworks nightly about 10 p.m. (Thu.-July 5, Harriet Island, St. Paul, $10, tasteofmn.com.) (J.B.)

The following is a list of A&E-approved destinations to make your holiday as loud, fiery and — in the case of Taste of Minnesota — as decadently trashy as possible. Happy preemptive Fourth from A&E.
(extract)
THE MUSIC: How an act as timeless and talented as Elvis Costello got stuck with the Taste of Minnesota gig is a question as baffling as it is fortunate for Minnesotans. Following two days of knuckle-draggers bobbing their heads to the likes of Chevelle , Staind and Whitesnake , the ever-classy English new wave pioneer will be on hand to demonstrate his newly polished folk chops.
But, nothing gold can stay, as they say, and that rings especially true when Mr. Every Rose Has It’s Thorn closes out our annual river festival the following night. Note: Judas Priest, the authentically stellar and awesomely gay metal legends, headline the Friday gig.
WHO: Elvis Costello , Kate Voegele , Martin Zellar & The Hardways
WHEN: July 2 to 5, noon to 10:40 p.m.
WHERE: Harriet Island, 200 Dr. Justus Ohage Blvd.
TICKETS: $10; free with festival entry between noon and 3 p.m.

Costello returns to rock at Taste of Minnesota
He reunites with the Imposters for the first time in almost a year at Taste of Minnesota
By Rob Hubbard
Special to the Pioneer Press
07/05/2009
Time was when the music at Taste of Minnesota was all about nostalgia trips, with most of the headliners having had their last hits a few decades ago. But there was a sense that the tide had turned when Elvis Costello and his band, the Imposters, were booked for Independence Day night.
Yes, Costello first found an audience in the late '70s and has already been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but he remains a vital, if stylistically itinerant artist.
But if Costello was supposed to bring something fresh to Taste, he didn't get the memo.
His brisk, energetic set bounded from one early-career tune to another. And, despite Costello's vocals sometimes not keeping pace with his right-on-the-beat band, it was an exhilarating show that grew increasingly tight as the sun set over the Mississippi.
And that stands to reason when one considers that this was the first time Costello had played with the Imposters in almost a year.
This master songsmith's musical wanderings have brought him to bluegrass of late, but he's reunited with his rock compadres for a week of shows.
Since the Imposters are basically his original band, the Attractions, with Davey Faragher replacing Bruce Thomas on bass, it's no surprise that the group seemed so comfortable with material they were performing together during the Carter administration.
Throughout the set, drummer Pete Thomas was the rock of rhythm, while Steve Nieve attacked his banks of keyboards with
a dada-esque sense of abandon.
Yes, "Blame It on Cain" got a heavy dose of country flavor, but most other interpretations hued closely to their original spirit of RB-tinged rock and roll. "Uncomplicated" pounded relentlessly, "Every Day I Write the Book" skated along like vintage Motown, and a rapid-fire trio of late-'70s vintage — "Radio, Radio," "Accidents Will Happen" and "The Beat" — were all fast and as furious as the day they were written.
Alas, throughout the evening, Costello seemed frustrated by a void between the stage and the vast majority of the audience.
Most of the "Gold Circle" seats, which sold for $50 each, were empty, while those who paid only for food and drink tickets were behind barriers that Costello often encouraged them to leap, much to security's chagrin.
It took some intimacy away from his songs, but Costello and company did their best to send their energy across the fields of Harriet Island.

It was with the band. Someone has posted most of the show in clips on You Tube, unfortunately they were very far away.
Isn't this the first time he's played RS with the Imposters?

Since you put me down, it seems i've been very gloomy. You may laugh but pretty girls look right through me.
