Robyn Hitchcock - Queen Elvis - Tower Records May 1989

Robyn Hitchcock performs "Queen Elvis" at an in-store appearance at Tower Records Carle Place, NY May 1989. Sorry for the blurriness (damn 1989 autofocus!) and the guy blabbering to his friend near my mic.

one of my favs ever of his- off of "Eye"- which is in my top ten albums of all time.

I just don`t think Morrissey is on Robyn`s radar

"Suck it baby-but be careful!" He's bloody hilarious.

I saw a documentary on this guy on the IFC chanel recently he's verry good and jams with the guitarist from REM. He sounded a little bit like Lennon.

I always figured "Clean Steve" was about Morrissey.

Is this at the San Francisco Tower?

Checked out the 'self-portraits' on your web-page. I was there for that '92 Paul Weller NYC Tower Records appearance. My stoned ex-friend was the guy who bizarrely accosted Paul for an autograph the moment he walked out to take the mini-stage. I remember two things about the performance: 1) Paul opened with a Marvin Gaye tune, I think "What's Going On?" or "Mercy Mercy Me"; and 2) he had an unusually dark tan for November weather.

Freaking incredible... my favorite Hitchcock was 'Globe of Frogs', 'Queen Elvis', and 'Eye'... absolutely blown away... thank you!

thanks for posting this - my tape copy of the album is long gone and I haven't heard it in so long. Great. Thanks.
