Elvis Costello and Chet Baker - You don't know what love is

[The356guy]

I 1st saw Elvis live on his first tour ('76?) Have seen him live 4 times; have most of his work- yet have never seen this- with Chet Baker no less (a brilliant, tragic waste of talent [heroin]) Fantastic

[deborahsuewho]

@The356guy i estimate about 100 times. :)

[paulstevencassidy]

what year anyone?

[2711913]

@paulstevencassidy This was at Ronnie Scott's in 1986 two years before he "fell" to his death. Van Morrison also sang "Send in the Clowns" in this set. I have the whole show on vhs w/ interviews w/ Chet.  One of my all time favorite music videos. Maybe it's on dvd by now.

[paulstevencassidy]

@2711913 Thanks! I love this so much. Both their performances really compliment each other. There's real drama in this.

[loverplease]

I don´t love or know many things of jazz...but Chet Baker bewitched me.the best ,I know and heard.so sensible!

[deborahsuewho]

@loverplease chet got to me before i got to jazz so i can relate.

[seomanj]

There's no description for this video. There's no need. This music in this video is nothing but pure class. Nothing less, nothing more

[paulstevencassidy]

@seomanj well said.....speechless

[eduardoybety]

Brillantes!



[TheGarabella]

[livelovelisten100]

[lizzie7mire]

@livelovelisten100

I think it's Michel Graillier

[rienzied]

This is just totally great.... Chet is the greatest

[sc788]

[2711913]

@sc788 It was 1986 at Ronnie Scott's two years before he "fell" to his death. Van Morrison alsosang in this set.

it doesn't goes better.........!

non si puo superare !

Einfach atembreraubend !

[eruptionista]

@trumpetchump There was no way Chet could ever have left under natural circumstances - he wasn't a native of this planet

[fireblossom2u]

Genius springs from a deep well. We watch and listen and are fed by our ancient connections.

[trumpetchump]

I love Chet and Elvis C both. Chet was great on everything he did. Elvis C was great in the 70's and 80's when he played what he played best, rock, or new wave, whatever you want to call it. In this case though, no one can ever take the place of Dinah. Some things should never be messed with, and this is one of them.

I really wish Chet could have been with us longer, to leave us under natural circumstances.

God bless Youtube,

this video is priceless!

[bluejazz44]

This meeting between Elvis Costello and the genius Chet Baker was a privilege for all lovers of great music.

[UltimateJazzyQuintet]

love in music is...happy noises in silence put into rhytmic tolerances.peace love and felicity

[orson54]

Isn't that Michel LeGrande on piano?

[toiseywoisey]

Chet's backing is so delicate and sensitive it nearly turns to smoke at times. That piano player really told a story in his solo--it really took me out! Elvis sounds better than ever and certainly shows he has an ear for the great standards--here a medley of all Sinatra choices.

[frippvintage]

Elvis Costello looks like an idiot next to Chet...

[Sk0czy]

@frippvintage

Then close your eyes and listen to the beauty

[Sk0czy]

@frippvintage

Then close your eyes and listen to the beauty

[alcndlk]

@Sk0czy wise words

[orson54]

@frippvintage at least he hasn't fallen out of a window and broken his neck while zonked on smack

[rtcopper]

I love hearing Chet sing this song and Elvis Costello isn't bad either. However Dinah Washington owns the song.

[googuse]

There's a version of Shipbuilding from this same show that I would love to see

[JoeyOhm]

the sung Chet Baker version was recently removed, and i'm broken up about it. Elvis is cool, but Chet owned it.

[alessioarenachannel]

My god. They'r playing, singing, from another space, another planet.

[CaMeVexe]

Until you've faced each dawn with burning eyes

How could you know what love is...



[CaMeVexe]

I'm a fool to want you I'm a fool to want you To want a love that can't be true A love that's there for others too I'm a fool to hold you Such a fool to hold you To want a kiss not mine alone To want a kiss the devil has known Time and time again I said I'd leave you Time and time again I went away But then would come the time when I would need you And once again these words I have to say You don't know how hearts burn For love that can not live yet never dies

[CaMeVexe]

Marvelous You don’t know what love is Until you’ve learned the meaning of the blues Until you’ve loved a love you've had to loose You don’t know what love is You don’t know how lips burn Until you’ve kissed and had to pay the cost Until you’ve flipped your heart and you have lost How can you know what love is Do you know how lost hearts fear The thought of reminiscing And lips that taste of tears Loose their taste for kissing

[deborahsuewho]

Speechless. I didn't know this existed until I posted Elvis singing this with Marian McPartland on piano in her Piano Jazz radio show. Please tell me where this came from and where I can get more. I've been talking about these two togther to jazz friends who have no idea how much more there is more to Elvis than Pump It Up. You have made a bit more than my day. Thank you.

[devilhairs]

Elvis Costello + Chet Baker

I am a Rocker With a Jazz Man

What's That~~ I ever Know~~ But Fucking Great!!!

[tonk2h]

Maravilloso. Brutal. Brutalmente maravilloso !

[malarbusto]

It's a hard rain outside on a saturday morning on my own. This is painful ... but perfect

[andreaprodan]

clarity and taste

Costello in this context.

No words for Chet Baker's eternally perfect beauty

[Sita570]

Well rr7firefly, I suppose you're wrong on this count. It would be 7 more years before chet finallydied. ZIHZ

[rr7firefly]

The song is devastatingly powerful. Gotta say that I have never heard such a nakedly honest rendition of the tragic consequences of love. It's even more poignant with Chet performing it in one of his last onstage appearances.

[rachelwica]

Coisa mais linda...Você não sabe o que é o amor até você ter beijado e ter que pagar o preço...Até você perder jogando a moeda...ai ai

[margot82n]

Meraviglioso duetto!!

[gregsobekofficial]

chet was so original.
