Doesn't get much better. I picked this gig up on VHS for 99p from a charity shop (A Case For Song). It's very varied. I'm not so keen on the Brodsky Quartet segment but some will enjoy it. Try to track it down on eBay
I first heard Anne Sofie von Otter's recording of this song. I have to say that Elvis' interpretation and delivery (much like the song "Fallen" from the album North) just can't be matched. Absolutely brilliant.
@wehitandrun Hey, I've seen two Big Lebowski fans try and out-slack each other. In fact, I feel so strongly about this sort of in-fighting, I may just write an anonymous satirical pamphlet.

Awesome. Nothing can compare to a song so beautifully contrived and so deeply sad. A rare treasure.
