EC at Montreux
http://www.eaglevisionusa.com/html/news/Montreux.htm
According to the above moves are afoot to release performances at Montreux over the years commercially. That will hopefully include some of Elvis's fine shows there.

I wonder when the BBC is going to continue releasing more 'Live At The BBC' sets. I'm sure they have some unreleased Elvis stuff (beyond what appeared on the Punch The Clock bonus disc).
This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.

Excellent quality bootlegs of Elvis' BBC concerts are easily available amongst collectors. The fact that they've not been given legitimate releases reflects Elvis ongoing reluctance to let just about any of his complete live sets available in this manner. The Montreux sets are a different kettle of fish altogether. 1980's one is great recording of a band that had refined its sound to perfection over 3 years of touring. Indeed, imo, the performance there of Dont Look Back is better than the version on the recent GH re-issue. 1991's concert with the Rude 5 is a fine performance with that band. 1996 multi format show is also outstanding. Overall there is a better feeling on these shows than the rather sterile sound on the BBC sets.

I was in Montreux last week and picked up a flyer for this year's jazz festival, which Diane Krall is playing at.
Re: EC at Montreux
Credit where credits due - all these clips from the 1990's are from Dirk in Germany. He recently had his videos transferred to DVD, sent me a copy, I sent copies to Doc and here they all are now on youTube. Besides the musical content its fascinating to see the whole Elvis/Bruce interaction considering what we now know about the tensions that were in the backround. And those Italian interview segments.....priceless! Thanks Dirk!

Re: EC at Montreux
What about the footage from last summer's Montreux appearance with the Sugarcanes, supposedly 45 minutes broadcast on French TV in March??
Aren't there any French members here? Anybody who knows a French EC fan??

Re: EC at Montreux
There's something about the EC w/Rude 5 playing his old stuff that just makes me think it'd be what a bar's house band who normally plays Thin Lizzy covers having an Elvis Costello night would sound like.

Re: EC at Montreux
Just added to the Wiki, a review by Ruedi Amstutz of Elvis and the Rude 5 at the 1991 Montreux Jazz Festival.
Taken from Swiss newspaper - Bieler Tagblatt. This is an English translation taken from the original German:
"Montreux Jazz Festival
Rough Costello and lyrical Haden
Two different nights at the Montreux Jazz Festival and just as different highlights: On Wednesday, Elvis Costello shone with rough sounds, the next day Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra with lots of lyrics.
The smart schoolboy with the big black horn-rimmed glasses, an image that Elvis Costello finally discarded last year. He has changed from a loud new waver to a rock bard, trying everything between country, folk and pop. since " Spike " he has been oscillating in firmly defined waters whose clear goal he has confirmed with the new album " Mighty Like A Rose ".
Only concert
On Wednesday in Montreux he gave his only concert on the continent. He now calls his formation Elvis Costello and the Rude Five. The Attractions are a thing of the past, away from attractiveness that would eventually have died out to rude, uncompromising, insidious, unpredictable sounds.
John Hammond, Charles Brown, Bonnie Raitt and Robert Cray only confirmed what was already known about them. This is not meant to be disadvantageous, but Costello was much more excited before his performance. A feeling like at a Dylan concert, impossible to hold on to, either your own expectations fall down like heavy bags after the first sounds or the guy on the stage invites you to fly high.
Lawful gentleman
Costello as a settled gentleman with a beard, you had to get used to that too. But what came next was much more. With "Accidents Will Happen" he started a kind of sound thunderstorm, in which the individual songs sprayed like sparks. He seemed to have left the overloaded arrangements from " Mighty Like A Rose " in the studio. Dry beats and hard-hitting guitars, often only softened by the piano.
Jerry Obern Scheff (bass), Marc Ribot (guitar), Peter Michael Thomas (drums) and Lawrence William Knechtel (piano) brought the intensity of a carefree pub rock band to the stage. And on the version of "Watching The Detectives," the Dylan comparison was finally justified. Meanwhile, Costello would dissect his often tame controlled pop songs to sell them as diamonds in the rough. A concert with the originality of a demo tape and a Costello on the way to becoming an unpredictable cult figure."

Re: EC at Montreux
From my recollection of seeing the Rude Five, I would say Seanpointblank's analogy closest to the truth!
