Thanks so much for bringing this back, used to watch it loads. Fantastic period for Squeeze when Elvis Costello was working with them to produce the East Side Story Album. Brilliant live version of a classic song! Thanks again.

The 1960's 'Pretty Flamingo' is now a 'Crispy Duck' :-)

i've loved this song ever since i first heard it -- the rod stewart version in 1976 or so. probly cuz it reminded me of a particular female schoolmate :D i never owned up to liking it, my crowd were all into zz top, the stones skynyrd etc & it was 'too pop' & 'too romantic.' interestingly tonight i learn not only did elvis costello cover it live - springsteen did too. [i much prefer EC's version.]

Absolutely Fabulous. So nice to see the cream of late '70's pop all together. I think Elvis and Glen blend fantastic on vocal, mind you Glen would blend with anyone! Elvis vocal much more "believable" than the original. I am from the generation when bands created music in parts,so nice to hear a great bass player doing exactly that! Gives room

Give Elvis his dues. His voice has improved substantially over the past three decades. I heard him live recently and his singing was really accomplished. Back when he was in his 'prime' he probably hadn't put the effort into vocal training.

Squeeze were great! Super lyricists - tho this song is by Mark Barkan. Elvis isn't the world's greatest singer. Check out the Manfred Mann version.
