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.
excellent performance. this song says so much more to me at 40 than it did at 20. could watch and hear it on a loop.

I recently got turned on to this song and it stuck with me. Good solid song and good performance. I can see how he began to gain popularity. Still not into his music too much...but this is a solid gateway to check the rest out.

Sorry, that's just bullshit. The majority of the lyrics that are frequently quoted when the matter of is genius is discussed were written before he "went electric". If he had only ever written "Chimes of Freedom", he'd still be a genius in my book:

Excellent, no need to apologize.
