Hello all -- I just joined the forum with the express goal of solving a mystery that has been bothering me for years.
Ages ago I saw Elvis Costello on cable television. The format, I believe, was a talk show focused on musicians. They would chat with the host and play some tunes. My best guess is that this was probably between 2000 and 2005.
EC was a guest on the program. He performed Watching the Detectives with a drum machine / sampler and a guitar. It was INCREDIBLE.
I've never been able to find the clip.
Anyone here know what I'm talking about? I would love to see the performance again and put this mystery to rest.
Thank you all!

I think this is the show, but it doesn't appear to be available online.

Yes, this is it. It was definitely with David Wild interviewing.
