“Sam’s Town (Abbey Road Version) by The Killers – Sawdust

An acoustic version- makes the Springsteen comparisons that were floating around at the time of the “Sam’s Town” release make a little more sense to me

“You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)” by Bruce Springsteen – The River

My random function having fun with me. Two songs with parentheses in the title And presupposing my Springsteen reference above.
I still don’t get the comparison.

“Radio Sweetheart” by Elvis Costello – Call It Very Unexpected [Bootleg - Sydney 2/19/1999]

Another Acoustic number. Notable for the speech in the middle of the song where Elvis confesseses that he always imagined doing the song with three female back-up singers and that he knows, deep down inside some of the audience are wearing sequins, satin and lace, and that if those guys want to sing along that would be just great.
