Live Mick Jones and Elvis?

Just curious...

I know that Mick Jones played on the studio recording of "Big Tears"--but has he ever performed this song live in concert or on the BBC or otherwise with Elvis?

If you can help, THANKS! 8)

Re: Mono Releases?

I'll check further later but U.K. pop radio was primarily non-FM in the 1970's and I'm sure I've seen reference to special mono mixes being prepared for promo. editions of singles. If you could check, that'd be great, John! I know there was at least a mono mix for "Accidents Will Happen"...

Thanks for checking! I hope it surfaces one day on CD... Why they didn't substitute this edit for the singles box set release OR any of the hits collections, I don't know.

This time I hope that they release the full version with the extra tracks I had to download from e.g. SoulSeek. Do you mean the Nick Lowe tracks? If so, here-here...
