Re: Rolling Stone (Germany) chooses Elvis' eight best albums

Now I have to spin PTC because honestly besides the singles I don't remember the other songs. I would have put Mighty Like A Rose in it's place.

Re: Video from original Spinning Songbook shows?

Now you have my curiosity up more about this spinner :)
I think I may have read something about that years ago.

I've just seen the few clips on YouTube but I've never seen that complete show yet. Maybe not circulating?

Video from original Spinning Songbook shows?

Has any footage of a complete Spinning Songbook show from 1986 ever surfaced? Great to have the audio but it would be interesting to see what was going on too.

Re: My Dark Life

I'm a fan of both EC and Eno as well as a huge X Files fan. I really enjoyed this piece you wrote for this hidden gem of a track. They also captured the feel of the show perfectly in the song.

Re: All This Useless Beauty

Very nice essay on this track. I always found that whole album very different from his work before or since. Maybe because most of those songs were written for other artists.

Re: Tokyo Storm Warning

Wow :shock: What a great essay. It's definitely the song where EC does Dylan better than Dylan. Some very interesting images in the lyrics. I feel like Billy Joel's Scandavian Skies is in this same realm as Tokyo Storm Warning too.

Re: Elvis should play Ska

Wow. I didn't know there was any footage of them. Pre Tears For Fears. I have this album. It's not bad and this is a fun track. This is miles away from what they would go onto do. Thanks for the reminder :D

Re: Mystery EC tracks

That's very possible for that track. The Breaking Up Is Hard to Do performance remains a mystery. Maybe a private performance where someone managed to record this track.

Mystery EC tracks

I found two EC tracks on my hard drive and I have no idea where or when I got them and they're not on the wiki. It says their from the MLAR rehearsals and one is an opera style song called Songbird. I don't know who the female vocalist is and EC sings in the latter part of the song. Sounds like a st...

Re: Is "The Beat" the first recording by EC and the Attractions?

It's great you had a chance to ask Bruce about this. I figured outtakes would be kind of an iffy subject. I bet there's a few we don't know about.

Would anyone be able to help with the three shows on this set from March 2018 in New York. I checked the usual spots with no luck. Very appreciated.
