About two years ago I saw a cartoon video to this great song. Since then I haven't been able to discover it again. Can anyone post a link, please? Or upload it again?

Werchter 1989, I was there! I seem to remember Costello on the schedule inbetween R.E.M. and Joe Jackson. I didn't know him then, but the day after I went out to buy 'Spike' on vinyl.

Can I buy this somewhere?

[BollocksUtwat]

This is some trippy shit. Nobody does it like this. Just totally tearing the normal song apart and putting it back together live. I'd love to be there live.

A universal want

He came on stage, only him with his guitar and he played there all his songs just alone.

I still remember this concert

GREAT
