Live Version "World's Great Optimist"

He played it live in Southend-On-Sea 4 days ago. How much as I love the song, he really seems to be struggling with this one.

PS Sorry, I can't get this video to work here :(

I think Elvis' tweet explained it pretty well.

Also the video works in sunny Kent as well.
why don’t you get some pride?
