Elvis Costello / Montreux, Switzerland July 11, 1989 FM broadcast [VOODOO WAGON]

 More Elvis!

I think the guys at headquarters are on a Elvis Costello kick of late and nothing wrong with that so here’s another set that intrigues from draftervoi. Here his band consists of the brains behind Squeeze and like many I have wondered at the why’s and wherefores to this without really checking. Both Tilbrook and Difford are masters of their own songwriting craft but also fine musicians in their own right, there seems to be nothing in the texts connected to this appearance as to Squeeze playing their own set. So make of that what you will. I am sure it is documented somehwere and I will check the boys website and update when I know more but meantime . . . . . . .
