Elvis Costello Fan Forum

It's growing on me I suppose. I'm liking EC's versions a lot more, though.

- I just found what sounds like a studio version by Elvis. He does chuckle in the middle, which hints at it being live- but with the quality and lack of any crowd noise you wouldnt know the difference.

I missed the boat.

This song is incredible... but McCartney's Flowers In The Dirt version nearly destroys it. I have the demo, and a couple of live versions- but did Elvis ever venture into the studio to record a solo version? Or has he featured it any live tours?

As people who have heard basically every album- I don't see how he wouldnt be your #1- even against Dylan. Since I doubt I'll be able to explain in a way that would satisfy you, I won't bother. It is what it is, and that's just part of what makes this board such a fine tapestry of opinions. Okay, I...

Isn't that the point of the movie?

Ron Bennington was raving about this documentary the other morning.

I hate when you guys try to riff together.

MANY EC sites on the web. "Bright blue Times" is the greatest one left if Elviscostello.info is gone.

ecinfo was/is an incredible site.

This is a tragedy.

Hah, yeah it should be arriving today.

I probably should have waited and just picked it up with the Gilmore Girls Season 4 set, but I didn't realize that the release dates coincided until after I had ordered.

I don't mind, this dvd is worth the 27$.

I picked up a copy on Saturday. I've watched all the videos (without commentary) and about half the live shows and about half of the videos with commentary. There's a lot of stuff here, worth the price. The early videos have a "so bad, they're good quality" - Elvis is at a loss for words ...

I ordered it from co.uk.

Do you normally pay double what you would to get it in your own country to have it a week early?

Yeah, then we gather together, hold hands, and laugh at Canada. It's an odd ritual.

I know that story!
Noise, I understood one of your political references. This is awesome.
