I believe it's actually the third. Armed Forces was #10 and Get Happy!! #11.

With Lucinda Williams opening the show and "There's A Story In Your Voice" in last night's setlist, there ought to be a duet at the Greek.

Maybe we'll get "Jailhouse Tears" too. (JIm Lauderdale even appears on the studio version!)

Can someone post the details on the 3 (or is it 4) bonus tracks? There are three: "Femme Fatale," "What Lewis Did Last," and "Dirty Rotten Shame." The vinyl and the Japanese CD include both "Femme Fatale" and "What Lewis Did Last." "Femme Fatal...

Elvis played the same song with Spinal Tap in 2001:

If you watch until the very end, you'll see this card for Tina Fey's production company. Is that Tina's Elvis fan brother Peter on the left?

Isn't there a quote from Tracey Ullman somewhere about trying to get Woody Allen to listen to Elvis?

John Foyle could probably find it.

Q: Have you noticed that your career has followed a similar trajectory to Woody Allen's? ELVIS: No, that's a new one to me. I used to get compared to him although that was mainly due to the glasses.
