  • I love seeing Jerry have fun.

  • @gawagney LOL true. Costello played chords and sang, kinda like Bob Dylan. He wasn't a true guitarist.

  • Jerry always said it was hell playing on a borrowed axe--he's clearly enjoying himself though

  • Where's Paul Schaffer?!

  • @gawagney Elvis lent Jerry his guitar. Jesus Christ bless them all

  • My brain just exploded....

  • You're so solid with that, you don't miss a band. I always feel like I'm missing a band.

  • But once everybody got settled we managed to struggle through a couple of Hank Williams songs. Like any sort of jam thing it inevitably came to degenerate towards lots of blues. But we managed a few songs with changes.

    Jerry: A pretty high level of jam-sessionry really, considering what it was. Really fun. And Elvis' solo set was phenomenal, I thought. That's one of those things that I can't do at all, just playing the guitar and singing.

  • So I opted to play Elvis' guitar as the lesser of two evils. [*laughter*] And I vowed I would never go to another one of those shows without my own.

    Elvis: It was a whole Three Stooges routine -- "Here, you take my guitar," "No, I'll take your guitar." I think I had Burton's old Telecaster for half a song, and James had my old Martin acoustic which wasn't cranked up so he couldn't solo--and Jerry's struggling with my guitar.

  • Jerry: Not only that, but it was one of those situations where I had the choice of playing either Elvis' guitar, which is low and it's stiff, and the strings are quite wide as well, and all this confusing script, or of playing Burton's guitar, which is strung with spider webs. I mean it's the absolutely lightest you can string a guitar and still get a sound out of it. I'd take Burton's and play a note on it and it goes "spack."
