Hi,

I was wondering if anybody has got a good version of Roxette’s cover version (live) of Blondie’s »Hanging On The Telephone« and would like to share it? [I only have a crappy MP3 with a loud audience hand clapping.]

Cheers.

Forgot about this. I’ve got it on a manky old tape somewhere from the Sept 1994 concert in Sweden. Awful recording actually, but the performance was cool.

Never understood Per’s comments though when asked if they were doing any covers on the Room Service tour. He said that Roxette as a band were too good to play punk songs like this. Something which I don’t really agree with. They’re are two totally different bands. Imagine Blondie trying to sing IMHBL. Nah, it ain’t gonna work!!
