I was driving home this evening listening to an Elvis CD, thinking about what a great track "His Latest Flame" is, and I remembered a Smiths track that had a very similar feel to it. When I were a lad, like, I recall seeing the Smiths doing said track live and incorporating a verse of "His Latest Flame" in to it.

a) Does anyone know what the track was called? and

b) Is there a live version available anywhere? or

c) I didn't just dream it did I?

ETA - i've realised that I've spelt "Presley" wrong in the title FFS

This rang a bell with me too. Look on YouTube for The Smiths 07 Rusholme Ruffians. Seems to have been a live medley of Rusholme Ruffians and His Latest Flame. I think it's available on the Rank live album, although it's not listed as one of tracks.
