She comes back to tell me she's gone,

As if I didn't know that

As if I didn't know my own bed,

As if I'd never noticed,

The way she brushed her hair from her forehead,

Pure genius.

what a legend. It was seeing this performance that got me back into Paul after years of not listening to his records. I know, criminal!

[felsner1]

Wooow - a pedal steel is sorely missed! ;-)

[xxrosietxx]

did paul sing 'You're the one' at this show?

[mobilephone15]

i can't find that song anywhere on youtube.

[dylantoniazzi]

I'm going to try to post it

[norwayreport]

I'm not having a problem with his language delivery. The song has 'morphed' into an icon of itself, in a sense, perhaps to the point where this rendition, with its subtle musical variations, is simply lovely. The BBC has gotten the video delivery spot-on, too.

[Nedmurgon1968]

By strange pronunciation, i mean that he seems to be putting on some kind of overempahsised drawing out of words like he is imitating elvis or something, it is offputting.

[QuestionsByTaylor]

yeah, I agree... but I think its just the nature of doing too many shows in a row, you have to can feel a need to be nonchalant like that to keep yourself from burning out maybe.

[Nedmurgon1968]

thanks QuestionsByTaylor, having said all that, i still think this song and the Graceland album is one of the alltime greatest classics. It is like it has bottled lightning or something, brilliant and subtle.

[QuestionsByTaylor]

Graceland is one of my favourite albums too, definitely. I was just trying to explain why he 'sounds like elvis' as you said, and my guess was to conserve his energy.

[Nedmurgon1968]

The playing is brilliant, very subtle and beautiful, but what in the world is going on with that strange pronunciation Paul is doing, he seems to be mocking his own song as he goes on?????

[JollyPollyDolly1]

What Strange Pronunciation?

[beatleman]

He's 67, not 45 anymore, like when this came out
