DYLAN COVERS #155 Flip City/Elvis Costello - It takes a lot to Laugh/Knocking on Heaven's Door

Flippin' Heck it's Elvis!



 
FLIP CITY - Knocking on Heaven's Door (74/75)

They all start somewhere and before Elvis Costello broke through for solo success he fronted the Band Flip City. They did the rounds in the London area during the early Seventies. Not only that they covered Dylan with  a Demo of Knocking on Heaven's Door. This can be found on the Boot Flip City Demos which can be found quite easily.

It takes a lot to Laugh, it takes a Train to Cry was also coverd at a live concert on the 30th November 1975 at the Red Cow in London. Good on ya Elvis!

TWO FOR THE MONEY - Elvis Costello - You little Fool/Accidents will Happen

OLD PA'S WEDNESDAY CLUB

VACATION XTRA
Strange hands in your sweater

ELVIS COSTELLO - You Little Fool

Well I have been in the UK for almost a week, the weather has been kind of mixed.

The highlight of the visit (apart from being introduced to Ted my new Grandson ) has been going out on Sunday morning to watch my Grandson 1 'Maxy Big Boy' play Rugby on Sunday morning at 09:00 (sharp).

I cannot remember when I was so cold, it was bleeding freezing. There was a guy in front of me with one of those shaved heads (he had tattoos, two, 2) he must have had a case of Headpothermia!  These guys are so tough.

Then suddenly, before I collapsed, a couple of Rugby types (big strong and looking like real men) passed in shorts and tee-shirts. What is wrong with me? Don't answer that question please!!

I was promised a 'Bacon Butty' but the cafe was closed. I bought some bacon on the way home and had my first BB for 'Donkeys',  Luvvely!

It was all worth it to see 'Maxy Big Boy' do his stuff.  My Boy! Thats what memories are about. Am I right?,

Here are a couple of good ones from EC. This is when Elvis was indeed King.

DYLAN COVERS # 48 Elvis Costello - I threw it all Away/Knocking on Heaven's Door

Dylan and a young Woody Guthrie

ELVIS COSTELLO - I threw it all Away(2010)
ELVIS COSTELLO(Flip City) - Knocking on Heavens Door(1975)

Elvis C first recorded  'I Threw it all Away' on his album the 'Kojak Variety'(1995) an album of covers.. The take here is from a live show 'Spectacle' in  2010 and is splendid thank you very much.

The second take of  'Knocking on Heavens Door' by Elvis C is when he was with a band called Flip City and before he became famous. It is s from a CD of Demos of the Band live in a Studio in 1975. It's pretty good to.

Elvis has covered Mr D in quite a few occasions and I will feature some more in the future.

There are only two Elvis's in my book
