Elvis Moderne [87; Faux Music Video]
Filmed in Hamburg, Germany, '87. Reviewed in 'Creem' (Feb/87): "Features
Bruce Springsteen, EC, Lou Reed & Shane McGowan on stage together singing
'nothing' but the best of Elvis Presley! Although Reed's stirring
rendition of "I Believe In The Man In The Sky" is certainly the artistic
highlight of the show (and I must note that Springsteen, Costello &
MacGowen make a fabulous New Jordanairres), it is Costello who
electrifies the crowd with his extended reading of "Viva Las Vegas". No
cynical Elvis this! If you can find a copy of this rarity, scoop it up -
but don't be surprised if the asking price is $150 or more."
Elvis Live At The Beacon Theatre, New York, 12-Aug-96 [96; Living After
Midnight Videos; 2 hours]
This contains the first 23 songs of the show in order, but the last 3 of
evening are missing. The start of "Why Can't A Man Stand Alone" and
"Clubland" are missing. This is worth having just for the "It's Time"/
"All This Useless Beauty"/"Green Shirt"/"Distorted Angel"/"Chelsea"
segment.
Quality: It takes a few minutes before the camera is focused correctly,
but then most of the rest of the show is very clear. Very good
audio for a video, but the audio/visual synchonisation is a
problem at times.

This claims to be a promo but isn't. The quality is mostly reasonable
mono, with some particularly poor parts (particularly "Alison").
EC is miming to a backing track on all but the live tracks, although in
some cases these backing tracks are specially recorded and differ from
released versions.

work is mostly steady, with occasional wild lapses. Sound is

Rockpalast TV Show [100 mins.]
The only title on this video is 'Elvis Costello', but on the back it
mentions the source as being the German live concert TV show 'Rockpalast'
recorded 15/16-Oct-83 at the Grughalle, Essen. This is EC+A with the TKO
Horns and Afrodiziak. The front of the mono version has a picture from
_Might Like A Rose_, while the stereo version comes with different
packaging.
Quality: The quality isn't bad, but the performance lags at times

This Is Tomorrow [No label or cat.#; E-180]
Mainly recorded at the Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool on 9-Dec-86 using
a hand held camera in the balcony.
Quality: The picture goes black for a while as Mr. Xavier Valentine
(Paddy Callaghan) stalks the balcony for volunteers to spin the
wheel. The picture is wobbley in parts and suffers from too much
concentration on EC in the wheel section. The audio quality
reasonable during the music, but there is crowd chatter and the
between-song banter is muffled - Phil Dennison
{cbase86@vms.strath.ac.uk}
The main show lasts 2h 36m and consists of:

from a Zurich show).
