It is 30 Years Ago today that Elvis Costello got himself into prime time US trouble by stopping Less Than Zero mid-tune on Saturday Night Live and launching into a ferocious version of Radio Radio to sum up his feelings about US radio.
It eanred him an instant tv ban but the notoriwety brought him publicity that was to serve him well.
The first video is the original 1978 promo video for what remains a classic song of its time.
30 Years on, take a look at a fantastic jam with Elvis, his group and The Police with a segued version of Watching The Detectives/Walking on the Moon aired on UK Channel 4 and 4Music this week as part of Elvis' spectacle series in which he interviews and plays with leading musicians which is well worth a watch.
