J-Card Comment Originally seeded here on DIME by gessig back in October 2005, I am re-seeding this great show for those that did not get a chance to grab it back then.

The original seed had a bonus footage of Costello's appearance on the Tom Snyder show but given that that has now been released officially, I edited that out using TMPGEnc. No re-encoding was done.

I have not seen this particular DVD torrented. It is an excellent PRO Shot video of Elvis and the Attractions in 1980. There are not many PRO Shot Elvis Costello and the Attraction shows currently in circulation so this is a special treat. Be patient for the first 45 seconds until the sound corrects itself. Then sit back and enjoy the show. One very interesting song is Elvis' cover of the Temptations' "Don't Look Back". The second part of the video is Elvis appearing on the Tom Snyder show. The quality of that footage isn't great but it's interesting to watch.
