The "80's sax" is kinda what you get in an 80's video (I'm guessing late 80's, judging from Richard Thompson's appearance). And David Sanborn was really more of a seventies sax player.

is that BJ's pedal steel guitar that sounds like a synth?

Good for you, Lisarata. You were willing to listen to the performance as it was, not as you thought it should be.
Gosh this is bleak. ... ( 1 year ago by quelian)
Gosh this is bleak. John Cale has a unique style to Heartbreak Hotel, but the sax and steel guitar take it to a new level. Makes you wonder how anyone took it seriously as a Rock and Roll song. 5 stars

Just goes to show how you can interprit a song!
When Elvis sang this, he was referring to booze. When Cale handles it, he's singing about heroin.
I agree with the previous 'bleak' comment! Spot on!!
I've seen him perform this twice in Sydney - and both performances were simply stunning!

I bought Slow Dazzle by John Cale in about 1973/4 and this was the first track on side two. Remember when records had two sides? The version on the album was slow but it worked up into a great, screaming climax. This version doesn't and is all the more depressing for that. Excellent performances all round.
This is the best ... ( 8 months ago by issue89)
This is the best i've heard so far. This is really a depressing song. The composition of this song clearly speaks for the lonliness of this song. Totally Moving!

You can´t treat a great song like that.
this is a terrible version of Heartbreak Hotel.

I have seen Cale perform this,alone on the piano and it is truly one of the most evocative versions of this bleak classic. Hearing him perform with the great Richard Thompson, as well as the beaytiful sax work by David Sanborn makes this a special performance indeed.

I actually really enjoy listening to this version.

This shows that there are more than 2 ways perform a good song! There is the one that anybody could do, like Elvis who the f-ck is Elvis, and there is this fantastic way wich is beyond my fantasy and more than fantastistic. And, are there more ways?

This really is an incredible version. They took it as far in the other direction as they could. Brilliant instrumentation and vocals, I love this trio.
I can't emphasize it enough. Brilliant.
