Happy 70th Birthday to Robert Wyatt!

[martinfoyle]

Found 3 tracks from Elvis contribution to the Robert Wyatt night on June 24 2001 while sorting out my Elvis bootlegs. It's a pretty decent audience recording , Left On Man and Shipbuilding are fine. The absolute classic, imo, is Elvis heartstoppingly gorgeous take on Caroline. Wyatts original is one of those extraordinary, captivating recordings that should move anyone with a pulse.
Here's a mp3 of Elvis performance

And I thought my Meltdown set was great.

Truly beautiful. Thank you.

Maybe someone would transfer the file of Elvis's version to youtube - I'm still trying to figure out how to do same!


While I'm at it, I highly recommend this new biography -
