While you couldn’t call this tour completely unexpected given their collaboration forty years ago on Elvis Costello’s “The Only Flame in Town” (one of the few Top 100 hits he has ever had in the U.S. and featuring Daryl Hall on backing vocals and in the video), it was still a pleasant surprise back in March when this co-headlining tour was first announced since they hadn’t collaborated since then. While Daryl closes out each night, Elvis also gets to do a headlining set of similar length (about an hour and a half), albeit slightly shorter than his normal two to three hours epic sets.
