in order to make the Home Page Wiki even more the comprehensive source, for all things EC, would it be appropriate to add a section on EC's film or TV appearances? I know you can find these through IMDB, but we could add links to songs (e.g. his appearances in the Austin Powers movies), DVD releases, soundtracks (e.g. Straight to Hell). We could add links to DVD releases in the Shop. The TV appearances would be for dramas or sit coms, rather than the usual Letterman or Jools Holland appearances. I have in mind stuff like Scully or The Simpsons. We used to see Alan Bleasdale (who directed Scully and the film No Surrender) waiting outside the stage door of the Liverpool Philharmonic after each EC show. | |||

John,

I know you can find these through IMDB, but we could add links to songs (e.g. his appearances in the Austin Powers movies), DVD releases, soundtracks (e.g. Straight to Hell).

Elvis plays live for Warner Brothers staff
John,
I have been trawling Youtube and similar adding clips to the gigography. This one is a puzzle:
It has a helpful title page showing precise venue and date. The only problem is that the venue is California, and the date comes in the same week when EC was playing in London and Cardiff. There is nothing listed in the gigography for this date.
It is possible that he flew seven hours across the Atlantic for this event, then another seven hours straight back again, but it does not sound likely. Another possibility is that this clip is from the concert at Warner Brothers listed in the gigography on 26 April 1989. However, the set list for that concert (and the bootleg recording that exists) don't include this song.
Do we need an "apocrypha" for material to be included in the Wiki where the origins are dubious?

Rob Wasserman Trios Gold CD question
I noticed that the gold cd for Trios by Rob Wasserman doesn't seem to be listed on the site. (Here's a link to it's page on Amazon: Trios [gold]) I wasn't sure where (or perhaps if) it should be added to the wiki; should it get its own entry or be added to the existing Trios page?
