That version of Penny Lane.

OMG. It's just amazing. Thanks for sharing it Zig!

Thanks - although looking at Mr Sun King Coming Together's post, it should be Macca/MacMa. (A number of sites spell it McManus, but on Elvis's site it says MacManus; I guess he would know.)

Loved the "Penny Lane" one. I also love the title of this thread.

I've been a long time fan of Declan Patrick MacManus.

For those who haven't seen it, I'll post again the vid of him performing "Penny Lane" in front of Paul and "some other people" at the White House. I'm still blown away by the Marine playing the piccolo trumpet.

Hey, haven't seen that one in a while. Thanks Zig!

The vigotone bootleg was quite good (ive not heard it for years) and Elvis certainly inspired Paul to write and record better material as evident on Flowers In The Dirt, Pauls first really good album since Tug Of War.

Don't Be Careless Love is one of Pauls best songs with darker lyrics than normal and the demo is really good too.

I didn't know Elvis had played at the White House!

Super.

The Jonas Brothers performed "Drive my car" on the same occasion…

I also like Costello's Live Aid performance of "All you need is love" with the crowd doing the "dee-de-dede-dee" part!

On topic:

Yeah, the "Flowers in the dirt" album is one of my favourites, although "I want her too" is one of my least favourite songs off the album.

"Mistress and maid" is quite nice (Off the ground album).

The McCartney/Costello collaboration was terrific.

Putting all the songs together would make a terrific CD (a bootleg exists out there).

Any thoughts on this?

Here are some good links:
