Elvis sings The Beatles

[Ulster Boy]

What with all this Beatles melarkey, which of their songs has EC covered? I can think of:

You've got to hide youre love away
Yes it is
She's a woman
Hey Bulldog
All you need is love

And covered some of their covers:

Twist and shout
Slow down
Money

Any others?

Wow, some list. Forgot about Baby its you and Leave my kitten alone.

[Ulster Boy]

Not on the list - All my loving (with McCartney at the Linda memorial concert)

Others include:

All I've got to do (e.g. 2007-05-04 Reno).


This is IMO a very Liverpudlian related relevant topic as I-a few others try to get to grips with TB Remastered issues last week ..

I remember EC opening with "Leave my Kitten Alone" at the Wiltern in L.A. in '86. Awesome show!

[Paul B]

Wow, never seen him do Leave My Kitten but I remember him playing Slow Down with the reformed Attractions at the Shepherd's Bush Empire. It was beautiful the way he repeated the last chorus ('You'd better give me little loving, give me little love - oowww - if you want our love to last') until it became quite ecstatic and hypnotic.

[Ulster Boy]

Saw him do Leave my kitten alone at the Royalty shows in 86. he must have been going through a Beatles/Lennon phase as he also did All you need is love, Instant Karma, Yes it is and Twist and Shout around that time - as well as the vocal steal from Anna (Go with him) on Blue Chair

He did "Baby's In Black" on the 1984 tour, with T-Bone Burnett ... a version is on the ELVIS GOES TO PARIS...AND THE ATTRACTIONS DON'T bootleg. And of course he sings "One After 909" with McCartney at the Royal Performance. Also, he covered "Step Inside Love", which was written by McCartney for Cilla Black; credited to Lennon/McCartney, Paul's demo version was released on The Beatles' Anthology 3.

Ach, shoulda looked at the wiki-list post ... sorry to repeat info...

[bambooneedle]

Remember that time he did Maxwell's Silver Hammer?




Neither do I.
