Elvis Costello / MTV Unplugged June 3, 1991 - VOODOO WAGON

Elvis Costello - MTV Unplugged - June 3 1991

Elvis Costello & the Rude 5

VOODOO WAGON [a draftervoi special]

MTV Unplugged, Warner Hollywood Studios, Los Angeles, CA June 3, 1991


Unknown source, probably videotape. There's a VHS promo out there, but I don't have it.

This is NOT the audience tape.


According to www.elviscostello.info, "Home Is Anywhere You Hang Your Head" was started as the first song, but was aborted and there was no second take. It was not on my copy of the tape. I've marked the songs that were broadcast on the show.
