Great version indeed Ian. One of those rare gems he throws into the touring mix every now and again. I was listening to These Foolish Things only yesterday and quietly marvelled at some of the classic rock n roll song choices, thinking we wouldn't hear their like again from Bryan - and then up pops this!

It was a special night to celebrate Elvis,I think. On the same night he also performed It's Now or Never, dueting with another male singer who sung in Italian while Bryan sung in English.

Yeah I remember the Italian singer, he sang way to loud and drowned out Bryan's vocals ... some duet that turned out to be. haha

Ageing Hipsters,
What a great version and what a fabulous jacket - I remember it well from the Dylanesque tour.
One trivia question - who is the female guitarist and how did she get into the line up?
I don't know her musical merits but aesthetically, she could make for a great reason to take in another Ferry gig.
Regards,
Windswept

I agree Sometimes these one offs produce more gems than something out of the studio. Compare the first ever performance of Jealous Guy with the eventual studio recorded release So much more energy and passion Link below.
