This should be the benchmark for all professional artists, excellent version...and of course Pete Thomas, restrained, understated, and solid as ever...thank you EC and your sublime band.
Every time I fear his voice or skill level is dropping due to age he knocks it out of the ball park with a great performance. I was just listening to 1980's Elvis CZcams when I came across this. Yes he has changed but he is still amazing. As is the whole band, Steve, Pete, Dave (thank you Dave for doing a great job, better than Bruce could) and Charlie.
Dave doesn't get enough love! He plays some busy basslines while harmonizing with Elvis, which gives the sound a fuller tone. Back when they had no back up singers they couldn't replicate the intricate vocal arrangements Elvis made on the albums.
Such beautiful sweet words. He should go to her, take her in his arms an tell her in person. That's what true love is all about. Bet she still cares about him but is afraid she isn't good enough for him. Thanks xoxo
I love this very much. I couldn’t help but notice that he pronounces “perfect world” the way his wife would. She seems to love to hit the R her Rs real haRRRd. It’s sort of her signature to me.
I like it and really appreciate the extra soulful vocals, but nothing beats the original studio version! I was surprised to read that EC is not fond of the record. I consider it one of the best produced hit singles of the '80s.
I believe the man's voice may in fact be in better shape now than ever. He reaches all the notes and then some, all while playing fantastic guitar. His new album proves this out.

Absolutly stunning band. Respect100%
My All Time Fav' E.C. tune!!! Man this version is GOLD!
This is such an impeccable performance of this classic tune.
"In a perfect world where everyone is equal, I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel..." one of my favorite lyrics of his...
Wow!
Probably his best performance of this song ….genius
Man, what a beautiful voice, still! He’s just amazing. ❤️
This and Ron Sexsmith's version are my favorites.
That's the best I heard elvis sing in a while.
I'm sorry but this song is so beautiful. I know you don't like it, but this is so wonderful.
absolutely FANTASTIC to have stumbled on this version MELLO
Nothing compares to the original studio take, but this is quite lovely. Nobody sings like Costello … Steve/Pete look great too 🎹 🥁
This is wonderful. Everyone just relaxing totally into the song knowing they have 100% control over how they want it to sound. Masterclass.
Fantastic Elvis! A great live version...

@@patriciofernandez2711 Yes! His harmonizing just fits in so nicely. Either Side of the Same Town from The Delivery Man really showcases it.
I couldn't love this anymore possible! It's fantastic!
you mean any more (possibly any more than I do)?
It's a perfect song.
I was skeptical of this version and, frankly, didn't enjoy it as much live a few weeks ago, but I get it now and this is bloody marvelous!
Wow, this is an astounding rearrengement. Elvis is a master singer and the band lays down pure magic. Relaxed, sorrowful yet soulful. Bravo EC!
awesomeness, as usual.
Cool, different arrangement of the song, more of a ballad, feels more sincere, also he crushed it on those long notes
A slice of wicked awesomeness!!!!
Awesome! Thanks Elvis 😊
Hello
Total Class!
I expect nothing less than greatness. Even still, this is a fantastic performance.
Elvis sounds in great voice, can’t wait till he visits the uk.
Shame radio 2 doesn’t promote his music properly
Que gran cancion.....todo un clasico.....grande elvis costello grande y gracias......bella cancion
He is so good!
Hello
Wow! Brings back great memories of that era! Such a wonderful time in music.
Nice song, great singer and amazing band !
Wow really like this version typically brilliant Elvis
glorious version -- thanks, mates.
Superb! A really nice spin on the 1983 original.
magnifique chanson..tout les jours..
Really very nice
Went from Reggae to Blues. Love it still. I didn't know how deep the words are until I heard this version.
Great version Fellows ! Rock on !
very underrated artist, this is fantastic x
Such beautiful sweet words. He should go to her, take her in his arms an tell her in person. That's what true love is all about. Bet she still cares about him but is afraid she isn't good enough for him. Thanks xoxo
i wish I could like this twice
Woah! What a great version. So groovy
brilliant.
Genius.
Charlie Sexton.....Legend
Great player. Loved his stuff with Dylan.
@@boosh90 yeah!
The opening song to Pride and Prejudice (Sort of). Brilliant rendition of a brilliant song!
bang on form . quality.
Bravo !!! 👏👏👏 amei 💕💕💕
“Ok guys, we’re going to play it in this key. Do whatever you want, have fun.” = magic
3 notes de musique 🎵🎶🎵 et c'est partiiiii ! !
I❤️Elvis
Nice version of his song 👍👍
Outstanding.
I love this very much. I couldn’t help but notice that he pronounces “perfect world” the way his wife would. She seems to love to hit the R her Rs real haRRRd. It’s sort of her signature to me.
Just love Costello, sounds a little like a burt bacharach with Costello tune
Elvis looks like my uncle who always be the host of every party
I like it and really appreciate the extra soulful vocals, but nothing beats the original studio version! I was surprised to read that EC is not fond of the record. I consider it one of the best produced hit singles of the '80s.
I agree- arrangement and lyrics are phenomenal! The song is an important thread in the fabric of 80’s music❤
Beautiful song
Excellent guitars too
Voice just gets better with age..
Excellent!
everyday i wish i could write the poetry book. it's been shelved in some underwater dream.
I believe the man's voice may in fact be in better shape now than ever. He reaches all the notes and then some, all while playing fantastic guitar. His new album proves this out.
His singing here and on his most recent album The Boy Named If is terrific. In concert not quite so much these days, alas. I still go, though!
Bravo!!!!!
If only EC's live shows sounded this good.
Wonderful
Classic !!!
You were my late teens defined
Probably my third favorite version, behind his Merseybeat version and Ron Sexsmith's version. Still miles ahead of the original version.
le meilleur !
صديقي الجيد🙆♀👀🌺🥀🌺🌹🌺🌱🌷🌱
Just love....sigh.
chill on the vid mix. sheesh
Charlie Sexton on guitar?
Yes.
The newest Imposter. We want to keep him!
Ameiiiiiiiiiii
Great stuff who is the other guitarist
Wow. Even in his pyjamas he’s better than most
LIKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Elvis is a Chiefs fan? Who knew. I'm an Elvis fan.
And Charlie Sexton on guitar!
Charlie Sexton? this is great!
thought give listen hook from first line
A Wirral legend
Odd considering he was born and raised in west London.
Nice w Charlie Sexton
I know it's a morning show but EC could have changed out of his pyjamas, surely?
Declan needs a sunglasses intervention
I love Elivis but this is a weird rendition.
hardcore autotune
Why. Dragged out or what, original lots better
