Heres the full colour version of The Pirate Song from George Harrison from Rutland Weekend Televison BBC 1975. Also starring Neil Innes and Eric Idle. Contains the end of the previous sketch too!
This is Elvis Costellos first ever TV appearance - only a small part of this appears on his official DVD 'THe Right spectacle'. The original master tape was wiped.
Great line-up for this - Elvis Costello at the Montreux Jazz Festival(??) with Glenn Tilbrook, Chris Difford, Nick Lowe and Gilson Lavis singing Manfred Mann's Pretty Flamingo sometimes 1980s I think!
Nationwide special on Kate Bush only tour. Includes what must be one of the first filmed interviews and Kate in leotard doing her dance moves...first part!
Introduced by Peter Cook, Elvis appears doing This Years Girl and Radio Radio. This also appears on Elvis's official DVD THE RIGHT SPECTACLE but on that the TV monitors have been blurred - in the un-blurred version here, look out for Margaret Thatcher, Kate Bush, Elaine Paige amongst others!
Only footage I know of with Kate performing this song live at the piano. Recorded in Sweden I think. taken from my ropey old VHS that I've had for 25 years.
My little film of Elton and Davids 'wedding' at wIndsor December 2005 showing the media frenzy before the event. yes I know this is old but I didn't know about Youtube then.
Probably recorded the same time as the official version, this one doesn't feature the hanging from wires in the lights and the vaseline line is strobed.
Live at Deptford Albany Theatre May 4th 2008. Squeeze made an appearance for charity at the end of a solo Chris Difford gig. This was the last song - recorded on my camera the meomrystick got full just before the end of the song - goddamn! Anyways its a bit of a rough recording of a fantastic night.
I just realised theere does not appear to be the complete performance on YOUTUBE of Them Heavy People from 'Revolver' So for your viewing pleasure here it is...
I shot this in San Francisco 2nd September 2007. First few bars are from the CD as I hadn't started the video camera. Rest of the track is live - then I spiced up the video a bit!
