Tom Snyder Tomorrow Show 2-3-81 Elvis Costello Punk Rock New Wave 

Saw this the first time and never since then... Thanks for sharing! Loved it!

a man out of time and on top of his game.

"You don't make a lot of money in computer programming?" Little did they know in 1981... Lol 😆

"20 years to write your first album, 6 months to write your second..." apt.

Loved the 80s new wave music. Elvis Costello,new order,,duran duran, blondie, the list goes on. Omg fun times.

Wow this was Feb 3rd '81. I had just seen Elvis with Squeeze opening at the Palladium in NYC on Jan. 31st and Feb 1st. Front row center the first night. Great night. Incredible show!!!

Fantastic! Can't believe how few people have seen this.

But the version of Watch Your Step is possibly the greatest thing I have ever seen.

Love. Love. Love. Crushing on him since I was 12❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I can't fucking believe how incredible tom snyder is what a nice nice nice guy wow. We have fkng clown circuses these days.

My King! Love Elvis Costello! 💖

Loved Tom. Super square.

Can we bring back that Coalition thing to deal with Reality TV? :) But seriously, Synder makes a good point that censorship can get carried away. And I'm so glad he called the guy out on not even wanting to see marital sex on TV. That's absurd.

DECLAN YESTERDAY TODAY FOREVER😀❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

10:48 Elvis Costello, "New Lace Sleeves"

Tom Snyder was a master at one-on-one interviews. He got things out of people in that midnight hour, where you could HEAR the lint floating in the air, that you other hosts couldn't. Quiet, introspective, open dialogue, where the guest was the star, not the interviewer. Then, for a BRIEF time thankfully, they brought in a damn studio audience. Now it's gags & laffs & double entendres to a third party & 💩, and you can forget about learning something from and about the guest. Thank GOD they sent that stupid audience BACK to Happy Days. Did that sound bitchy?

Damned Cosclello

Where. Did. You. Get. This?

I could comment on almost every moment of this thing, it is so comically backward. Tom Snyder imagined and more imoportantly some TV executive imagined him as a cross between Carson and Donahue, and he somehow fails to be either while still being compelling.

Did Tom check in with Elvis 22 years later to check on the success of his career?

Unfortunately one of the best parts is missing at 27:56 from Watch Your Step. The "when your kicking the car chrome" line is missing (EC makes a glare backwards after the line) . This is one is poor quality but complete. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7OR25MqPWuc.html

Out of curiosity, did Tom keep this intro until the end of the series?

You don't make a lot programming computers.

Capra FOLLOWS Costello.

Stick 'Rev' before your name and you can get away with anything. He looks terrifying!

It's bizarre. At 21:16 there is a burst of Costello music, for one second. This live performance of "New Lace Sleeves" was sluggish

you don't make much money programming computers, since 1981 Bill gates and Mark Zuckerberg EACH have earned more money than all 4 Beatles and every other rocker combined...tens of billions of dollars EACH GUY

Cancel culture in 1981?
