Elvis Costello - Little Palaces - The Session - LIVE - 1987

[@spinningreelsofrhyme]

I do not understand how his lyricism & songwriting is not more widely appreciated. The majority of this album especially. Saw him live at The Murat and it was a really excellent show. This was about a year and a half ago.

I've met Elvis Costello in Whole Foods in West Vancouver in the vegetable isle. He does the music he wants to and has a "if you build it they will come" attitude. He's a really nice guy to chat to for a few minutes.

@@dbaider9467 Ha! That's awesome! You never know who you might run into.

[@dbaider9467]

@@spinningreelsofrhyme The conversation started with me saying "Merry Christmas Mr. Costello", and bowing slightly... Then he opened up. You get the idea.

[@spinningreelsofrhyme]

@@dbaider9467 Very cool.

[@eleanorruby]

this is way too cool. one of my favorite costello songs, and i've never seen it live.

[@binghamhumber]

This is so cool. Firs it's a great song. But the way they evolve it into a reel at the end just gives it a timelessness as well. Elvis Is King.

[@NotAFanAnymore]

Absolute magic performance here. Brilliant

[@Tshea13]

This has always been one of my favorite song by Costello. I love this arrangement of the song with the traditional Irish musicians. He sounds great with uillean pipes.

[@ThePoeticEdge]

Great song, never heard it live before, cheers. Love the pipes as well, really fits.

[@biglexy12]

Very glad I stumbled upon this.

[@noddyholder79]

this song recounts elvis' time growing up around Liverpool and, specifically, the Wirrall 'in chocolate town all the trains are painted brown' a big up for Cadburys in Moreton!!!

[@dbaider9467]

Great version thanks for sharing.

[@pvtrichter88]

always was one of favourite EC tracks and i know of the area he's talking about as well GRET SONG THE PIPES ADD THAT SPECIAL FLAIR TO IT AS WELL ! CHEERS!

[@SDSsongs]

Can definitely hear him channeling the energy of the Pogues here.

[@NotAFanAnymore]

Brilliant tune

[@liamjh81]

i lived right by the factory and worked there for a bit

[@debbiemccarthy3864]

Talking about Cadbury’s Factory in Moreton on the Wirral no longer there 😢

[@toddness305]

I keep telling everyone that he is our greatest living musical genius. He could fart and it would be profound....

[@artistak1]

I do love him but no one seriously listen to my opinion.♥♥♥

[@lyonslaforet]

Has anyone else noticed that this song is very similar to Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner by Warren Zevon?

[@davecohen4960]

Elvis, your mic is off!

[@tonymagrogan]

Looks like Donal Lunny on bouzouki

[@jubjub2112]

This song is not only totally bitchen . . . . but I think it is good luck . . . . I have won about $600 playing online poker in the past 45 minutes . . . . Thanks Elvis!

[@catherinefitzpatrick9144]

jubjub2112 I want a Cadbury Caramello Bar!

[@sambomcl]

No need for the shitey Irish pipes, but thank you very much none the less. (Not your fault)
