  • My mom told me once that elvis costello was my dad, i belive her

  • agredd this sucks. thumbs down

  • Did NOT Suck !! Its an Awesome version!!!

  • funkin' hipster... not this concert sucks, his whole life does.

  • @AsukaOkiba Stop sucking your own dick and have a try with mein. Don't be a hater, love my dick, don't just lick it.

  • who else saw the beachball

  • Thousands of people and you could here a pind (pin) drop you say! Only because he sucked so bad that nobody could believe he was allowed to go on stage! My God he sounded horrible! Yuck, Sucked, and double yuck. I've not heard ANYONE this horrible allowed to spew this awful sounding stuff (nit music) to so many!  Major FAIL !!!!

  • @wakeup2it tosser you dont know shit about music!!!!

  • this video = Elvis schooling the next generation about what music actually is :-)

  • this version sucks

  • I'm named after this song!

  • Declan Mcmannus

  • i love this guy so much you have no idea

  • 17 people let Elvis' little friend take off their party dresses/I know this world is killing 17 people

  • the brandon boyd cover sounds better IMO.. =]

  • @jessrocked

    Are you retarded?

  • @thound2 no.. you are.. seriously how old are you Mr.Faggot?

  • @thound2 Yesh!

  • There's a deep well of anger and pain somewhere within Mr. McMannus (or at least there used to be). I've always thought this was an "I told you so" song, and that there's a bit of glee and satisfaction with that fact.

  • @tilwebb4 and @tarbethia: What kind of lyrical argument is this?

  • My Name is Alison.

    incedentally who invited the argumentative /tits?

  • My Name is Alison.

  • Declan Mcmannus

  • When did this descend into a race war? I'll listen to Elvis in the meantime.

  • @tarbethia Dont know of trolling or really dumb...

  • @tarbethia : There are NO LIONS IN THE JUNGLE FOOL! They live in the plains. Way to represent Africa ! Perhaps you should go home and look around a bit. The youtube family will buy you a ticket back to the continent. Perhaps you should have said "I'll be on you like a crackwhore on a rock". At lest you would have had a frame of reference.

  • @tllwebb4 i agree now i guta tak a shit so open u white honkey mouth so u can taste afrikan suprize made special 4 u an watz dis u white mama iz guna cleen ma hole since u done eating OOOHHHEEEE dis nigga feel lik da president at u houyse da whole family gathering round my nigga azzhole like a campfire i feel so special at da tllwebb houze even grandma take her teeth out everytime she c me

  • @tllwebb4 YA GOTTA FEEL DAT MUSIC IN YA HEART, IT DONT MATTA IF YA DONT KNOW WHAT YA DOIN' JUST PLAY IT OUT ROFLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO FAGS

  • this song is just phenomenol

  • Just gorgeous. Both of 'em. Thanks for posting this.

  • i was named after this song same spelling everything <3 <3 <3 thanks daddy love you...

  • @tllwebb4 I know... I like trolling, too. ;D

  • @emphaticleech Oh man you two made my day.

  • @tllwebb4 ARPEGGIOS and CHORDS are MUSIC THEORY. lmfao omg. You just need to stop commenting, seriously. You don't know what you are talking about. And no, a lot of classical music (think Baroque) is very similar to stuff that Cream, Zeppelin, Yardbirds, etc were doing. Lots of dissonance and feel. It was less technical than earlier classical music, but that doesn't mean classical artists didn't FEEL their music. Paganini ftw. He would roll his eyes in the back of his head and go apeshit.

  • Sod the comments below (apart from the fact I've met Plant a few times & been banned from a pub for arguing with him - how cool is that!) Allison is simply a simple song of such beauty it hurts the bottom of your spine when you hear it. it's not rock and roll - it's pure emotion. If people can't feel that their surname must be Cameron or Clegg.

  • @tllwebb4 --cont'd. .... it will sound WRONG, and BAD (well, worse than Zeppelin already sounds). Rock is influenced BY THE BLUES and employs BLUES SCALES AND TIMINGS. Are you telling me you don't play scales? Or chords? Or anything? Do you just stare at your guitar? lol I bet you don't even play. There's nothing snobby about music theory. There's snobbishness in thinking you're above the laws of music theory, though.

  • @emphaticleech ROFLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL EPIC TROLL FIGHT

  • @tllwebb4 Wow. You are ignorant. You realize Jimmy Paige could read music, right? Guess he's shit by your logic. And no, you know about music theory if you play guitar. You are an idiot if you think otherwise. If you didn't, you wouldn't be able to play in key... or know anything about timing. 99% of everything in music is theory. I'm sorry, but if you don't know theory... then your music CAN'T sound good. It's impossible. Try playing Black Dog along with the recording...tuned half a step down.

  • @tllwebb4 Besides the A-Minor BLUES scale used in the guitar solo from Stairway? Only the C-Am-D chord progression, which is very common in most blues music. You play guitar, yet don't know your simple music theory? GTFO.

    Cream was great. But they were blues and jazz.

  • @tllwebb4 Dazed & Confused is a big one they stole. Blues doesn't suck. If you think that, then you shouldn't like Zeppelin. That's all they played. Blues scales. 12 bar blues. Blues, blues, blues. Guess you don't like Clapton, either? Or anything rock n' roll? Hypocrite.

    "Highly pleasing note sequences" lololol go back to your fanboyism, worshipping your crappy band. For the record, Jeff Beck was doing what Paige did better, and first. LOL at Buddy Rich being implied as bland. You're priceless

  • @tllwebb4 lol. Led Zeppelin? Innovative? That's a laugh. I guess if stealing nearly everything they wrote with a crappy singer and sloppy guitarist (who can't play anymore..and hasn't been able to since the 80s) is what you think is innovative, then sure! And I'm sorry.. but Buddy Rich drums circles around Bonham, as Jack Bruce and Stanley Clarke and Jaco Pastorious all outplay John Paul Jones... and top 5 vocalists? I dunno, man. People like Buddy Holly, Bill Haley, Son House, etc were better.

  • @tllwebb4 lol, you must have a lot of deep rooted problems in your life.

  • Yeah Led Zeppelin!

  • @tllwebb4 I bet you think Led Zeppelin was awesome.

  • For God's Sake! Can't anyone say this is a great song! I love this song because my Mom used to play it when I was a little kid and I just thought it was great because it is a great song! Lighten up!

  • Linda Ronstadt deserves the credit not him!

  • @MsPerogi I love Linda, but she has never wrote a song that I am aware of!

  • this song is one of the reasons i named my daughter Allison :o) Happy B-Day Sweetie.......Love You!

  • ALLLLLLI i son. Thanks for giving.

  • Comment removed

  • Some of his best work. Dark, Dark song.

  • I hope everybody was boneing each other,,,Screw STD have fun the world should be about LOVE...BOINK on everyone Great DConcert was...If you have cancer then boink on..I mean it in a good way ( no such thing as dirty sex, just crossing the line ).

  • it is not the same as the mind in which you can get out of our own downward cycle. america has 10 fold problems involving drugs, pills, & jail. and what is the cause? fear and repression. we struggle to survive because no matter what side you're on, there are a million in opposition. many people lose loved ones to death for a plethora of reasons. it though is in american corporate industrial fuck heads to control the masses, conquor WITH evils, and destroy any meaning of real life.

  • first off would be to FIX the issues that cause cancer. atleast as many as we can detect, but most americans are too into their own predicament to reach out for understanding. the 2nd is genetics, so, c'est la vie...

  • There will never be a cure for cancer..any cancer...the drug companies make too much money selling pain drugs to help the cancer patients ride out their last days in a drug induced fog...

  • I appreciate the upload. It was wonderful.

  • my name is allison but my nickname is allie

  • @alliegirl222 My name is "Allison" as well, and my parents call me "Ally", which I hate so much D:

  • Woodstock 99 looks better than 1969 if this clip is any indication

  • 12 people had carrots in their ears while they listened to this song

  • Woodstock revisited! with Elvis.

  • ....wow!!!!

  • i named my 17 yro daughter after this song

  • @saebersoux it took you 17 years to name your daughter!?

  • @itsameMARIO94 ok don't have to be rude about it...thanks :P

  • When ever i feel lonely or sad this song makes me feel loved. -Allie

  • I so love Elvis!

  • Wow. Woodstock 99 chupado. 

  • Thumbs up if pretty little liars brought you here!

  • I have a good friend her name is Allison, she is dying from lung cancer. "ohh Allsion, I know this world is killing you" I need a miracle THUMBS up to send a prayer to her.

  • @PERKO1966 You need cannabis oil, srsly, it cures almost any cancer. Too bad it's illegal and stuff.

  • @einXtein lol it doesn't "cure" any cancer. it just helps cancer patients get over their nausea from the chemotherapy so they can still eat food. i agree that it should be legal though =)

  • @HammerOfTheGods4 I think you're getting things mixed up. That's smoked Cannabis. The Cannabis oil does cure cancer, you can search it. I think there is a documentary about the dude that created it, 'Phoenix Tears' I believe.

  • @einXtein Seriously? You think that if Cannabis Oil CURED Cancer, the horrible monster I lost one to many loved ones to, it wouldn't be legal and more famous than, I don't know, Obama? Maybe it helps in one way or another, but there's no cure to cancer.

  • @earlsimonon Yeah, I'm serious. Look it up: "Phoenix Tears".

  • @PERKO1966 hope she ok these is a great song , i know itshard i work in palliative care

  • @672119 She is in palliative care now and can not get out of bed, Alli is so young still it is so tragic. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts

  • @PERKO1966 my prayers are with you and most importantly with your very dear friend..xxxx

  • Comment removed

  • @BAZZYDOO Thank you so much. Unfortunately Allison passed away several weeks ago. Sometimes prayers are just not enough :-(

  • @PERKO1966

    I pray she gets better. All my luck goes to your friend

  • @NiyatG001 Thank you Niyat, Allison passed away a few weeks ago leaving behind a loving family. Cancer is such a evil disease. I hate it

  • @PERKO1966

    Oh my. I'm sure that you are sick of sympathies by now since this happened a few weeks ago, but I am so sorry.

    I hope that you are handling it well. Do what you love the most. It helps. Trust me.

  • @PERKO1966 My condolences.

  • @PERKO1966 cancer sucks, we should not take our health for granted and help the poor and sick

  • @PERKO1966 Why all these pathetic comments on youtube? BTW: the song is about Alison, not your Allison.

  • @batave Ummm I understand that some people can put stupid pathetic comments on youtube just to get thumbs up but dont be stingy on him. I believe him that his friend is dying of cancer and people need to stop blaming him for allowing her to smoke. And dont be so stupid. "The song is about Alison, not your Allison" Yes of course he really thinks that elvis costello wrote for her (sarcasm)

  • @PERKO1966 Youre a dick for not making her quit smoking. youre an enabler!!!

  • @icon54 And your parents enabled you to be and asshole

  • @PERKO1966 so she is a smoker then? why allison....why!!!! :'(

  • after someone sees CJOKUSAP's commentary, everyone probably starts looking for those boobs :p

  • Ahh. Much better.

  • Costello is Amazing live.

  • @StevietheMaster That's a Gretsch Electromatic.

  • @slayerizedjh Thank you

  • does anybody know what guitar model does he play?

  • 0:01 - 2:59 is my favorite part.

  • 0.04 Micheal Macintyre? :L

  • Nice catch

  • to all those "ALLISON/ALISON".. we .. we are all sorry.

  • There is none like Costello - he's totally original stuff. Not to be rude but you above with the "Joe Jonas" thing, well Costello has been doing this way before any "Jonas" where born. Got to love the "nerdy / Smart" look of Elvis Costello with his manly sincere voice, Jen L. James Sac.,CA. USA

  • elvis costello rules!!!

  • Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!

  • I'm Allison, I'm 15, and this song is one of my earliest memories. I remember sitting in my stroller at the mall when I was 2 or 3, and they were playing this song, and I thought they were playing it for me.

  • @LifeLoveMusical

    Aww that's such a sweet story :)

  • Today, stayed home from school and read an article about how Willie Nelson was busted with 6 ounces of weed(nice) and i listened to his music.. LOVED his music.. saw in the related videos on the side: "Dianna Krall, Elvis Costello & Willie Nelson - Crazy (Live)" listened to that, loved all 3 of their voices, gonna spend the rest of the day listening to all 3 artists' music :)

    going to be a good day =D

  • @ImRoflolpwned And smoke 6 ounces of weed right? otherwise you're doing it wrong.

  • @SpreadDisease

    You sure like "Spreading Disease" with your grumpy pessismistic attitude don't ya?

    Well have fun with that!

  • @WoodRatGirl I was simply making a friendly suggestion, cock ass.

  • I am trying to find a clip of 'Chewing Gum' from the Spike album...anyone????

  • genius

    nuf said

  • Great songs last forever. No matter how the live interpretation, a great song will resonate and hold the listener, transfixed to the song until it is a part of you.

  • @dproce I completely agree!! Are you a Springsteen fan? He has a new album coming out on the 16th called "The Promise," on his site, and it has tons of previews for his new material! Check it out, and see what you think!

  • Dude, I don't know why I like Elvis Costello. I listen to, and play, hard rock/punk/metal music! I heard A Slow Drag With Josephine on the Colbert Report the other night and I like his music now lol.

  • @cdynckl stay with it.

  • he sounds like the love child of patrick stump and brendon urie.

  • @Blarghasaur Wash your brain out with soap.

  • My aim is true..

  • was there about twenty feet from the stage,he was playing some amazing sounds!! just him and his guitar!! he coveres "hide your love away" of the beatles incredibly!!

  • I love this song...totally reminds me of High School....

  • Jugs alert, u guise. 2.31, 2 o'clock from Elvis's glasses. You can't miss 'em if you're looking for 'em!

  • @CJOKUSAP  hahaha yea that's awesome. It like finding where's waldo. good job man.

  • @lhjose where did that come from lol?

  • @CJOKUSAP

    Seriously, that was too much work to see blurry boobs.

  • @CJOKUSAP  @2:31 Nice

  • @CJOKUSAP

    Good call, thanks! :d

  • @CJOKUSAP sonofabitch.....good eye.

  • woodstock 99=fail

  • I get goosebumps whenever I hear this song.

  • @thegov08

    Me too... I've got them right now...

  • I loved this song in 1977 and little did I know how much the name would mean to me 33 years later. I guess that's life.

  • thx for the share;-)

  • my song hahaha 

  • god this sucked so bad it was actually funny. what happened to the funky guitar licks that made the song great in the first place. terrible mr costello. terrible.
