You may wanna explain that it is a live concert done with the BBCSO though.

That concert
was hands down one of the greatest live recordings that has been made for TV / radio. I tuned in from the snow on Monday and watched it 3 times back to back gaping in awe.
I love the album but that performance was something else.

Oh and yes
I think it is on red button for a while longer yet and you can now pre-order the CD and DVD of the performance from Elbow's website.

really?
Better than Pink Floyd's Pompeii? Johnny Cash's Live at Falsom Prison (Documented for TV it was)? Radiohead's special performance for Jools Holland? Almost any of 'TV Party'?
I mean, i like Elbow and this performance but that's quite a statement...

Of course there was an element of hyperbole there
But I think for me its a yes, purely as a whole - the performance, ensemble and the quailty of the engineering and production just did it for me. Personal ting dough init.
Not seen the Floyd and Cash ones but in terms of recording and production I'd rate this way above the 'head on Jools one (bigger 'head fan than Elbow fan I be ;)). Though now you've got me thinking - the one they did for Canal + at around the same time with the Ondes Martenot choir was pretty special. If you've not seen it, check out the version of How to Disappear Completely from that performance, very very good.

*will shut up in a minute*
Also I think I found it pretty special just because they did the whole album. If Jools had brought us the whole of Kid A with the crazy jazzers and the orchestra of St. John's it probably would have pushed my buttons equally.

Grounds for Divorce sounds great with the strings
Still think Asleep in the Back is a better album though.

I had a pint with that lead singer guy the other day.
He was all of the nice. Lovely chap.

I think that's partly why I liked it so much
They seem like such lovely chaps and, humble as they are, were so thrilled to be doing that. Just really made up for them.

One of the very best things
I've seen recently. Featuring Richard Hawley too!
Hooray for incredibly talented Northern blokeness.
