Elvis Costello - God's Comic Live 1989

finally found my vhs tape, after years of searching. from bbc1's "everything you ever wanted to know about spike." the reference to Jesus Christ Superstar will forever make me smile.

Thanks for the post....I never saw before a live version on that song....And I always loved the version on Spike.....But this is so much more intimate. And Like John Lennon was saying, a great song, is the one you can just play with one instrument and voice, and can touch you......Great performance, by Elvis Costello....

this guy is just in a class by himself...most original style.

No discussion of his overtly implied atheism? Are you scared? Are you scared?

@PeglegZombie your comment perfectly sums up his music . have felt that way about it since I was 11 yo when I first heard his music and I'm 33 now :-)

this is such a gem! thanks so much!!! love this song, and this minimalist version does great justice to his words, phrasing, musicianship

[besty222]

Great version of this song (even if he does muff the very last guitar note!)

[Broblem12]

Acoustic joy!

[PeglegZombie]

This version is even more perfect than the recorded album version. This man is just... untouchable. I love how so many of his songs have the power to both break and mend your heart at the same time. He brings meaning to the word 'beauty.'
