Spectacle with Elvis Costello

Andy Volk · From: Boston, MA

I'm late to the party as this show first aired in 2008, but I just happened across Spectacle on Netflix. Elvis is a terrific, insightful interviewer and the musical performances are really great. I've only seen the Elton John and Bill Clinton episodes so far but the Clinton program in particular was fascinating. I knew he played sax but I had no idea how knowledgeable he was about music and how much he credits it for who he is today and his entire world view. Elton John is equally intelligent and articulate and speaks insightfully and movingly about his influences. Great to see Elvis giving James Burton a bunch of rocking solos too. If you've never seen this show I highly recommend it.

Another good thing to watch is the nice little documentary on Richard Hoover and Santa Cruz guitars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX0RYR_laeo#t=265
