A fair snapshot of my life !

so, bit of a poorly-kept secret, but I made an (audience, audio) recording of this gig. now that the album is out, and with huge thanks to MT, I have permission to publicly post link! those who were there get to relive it all over again, and those who weren't get to understand why we've all been raving about the performance

download it here (192kbps mp3): http://whelk.landamore.com/elbow2011-03-02.zip

(I will possibly upload 24-bit flac version at some point in the future. pm me if that is of interest)

enjoy!

Thank you. I suspect this might be a bit better than mine, which got distracted in the middle of Lippy Kids. If not, I'll post that as well.

Koko to come.

Thanks heaps andy_landy - now I can relive it again, and again.

Yes, definitely better than mine

thanks again Stephen. Didn't see you at the gig, was looking for you in the queue

In answer to your question, both my boys are obsessed with MJ, they saw alot of him on tv when he died and its been non stop cd's in car, dvds and the wii game ever since. Well its alot better than high school musical! I have of course ensured they get a quality music education, they also know who joe strummer and morrissey are and they love a few elbow songs, especially banging cups during grounds for divorce.

Anyway, wow re the recording of cambridge - i love you and we've never met!

Thank you again andy_landy!! I admit I've listened to the whole concert a couple of times now. The pseudo-rap in One Day Like This always makes me smile

oh, forgot... yea, my 6 year old boy does know who MJ is, which is a little surprising: I don't have any MJ discs in the house! I guess that must mean he watches too much tv

So he's a good dancer, just not as good as MJ.

Does he consider him better than Justin Timberlake, I wonder?

How very dare you, my boys arent allowed to watch timberlake lol! Made me laugh how fred had obviously given it alot of thought. bet guy really practising his smooth criminal leans as we speak!

At long last managed to listen to it. It sounds amazing and the quality is excellent. Thanks for that.

Fab! Thanks Andy-Landy!

And thanks to Elbow management for being cool about it too

your next mission is to get them to let us download the itunes videos without buying the album again

thanks for asking them if this is ok - i know some management companies can be very funny about such things.

New here.

Have read all 21 pages of the Cambridge Junction review, having been there, and am listening to the MP3's .Life doesn't get better. Will contribute more when I can, but right now, having been due to leave for home, it's time to shut down my work PC and go home, like the rest of the staff did at 5.00!!

Ste

Andy Landy you're a star. 24 bit FLAC is of huge interest!!!

Hi all newbie member here, was at the Junction gig myself, to all who've put the ewe tube vids up and the bootleg fab job loving reliving that gig. Despite the odd cock up of forgotten lyrics and the odd bum note it was one of if not the best elbow gigs ive witnessed, rivals their glasto show of 2002 for me. The only low point was walking into the Earl of Derby in the afternoon at the same time Guy & Pete were walking out. Missed opportunity there

Hello there!

Highlights From The Cambridge Warm-Up Gig have been posted on 'Absoluteradio' website.

God bless you, andy_landy, I can't say how pleased I am to hear this. Great recording, but best is just to be able to relive the experience of being there. This is going to follow me around for the next few days - getting me and Mrs fm ready for the NIA next Wednesday.

Has anyone suggested to the lads that their gigs are recorded at the desk and sold on unmixed CDR's after the gig? If so, what was their reaction? I know that Genesis used to do some of this on their later tours, and no doubt other bands too, but some record companies seem to be more sensitive than others about bootlegs, even official ones.

Thanks again.


P/S: I have a new favourite picture of Mr Garvey from my Cambridge set - Looking like he'd make a great Falstaff.

I was going to suggest Sir Toby Belch from Twelfth Night

Garvey: "Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale?"

fragrant_monkey: those are fantastic photos! thanks for the kind words

I am still trying to move mountains to be with you all at the MEN... wish me luck!

I'm pretty sure that they record the soundboards, because Craig dug out a recording of Scattered Black & Whites out for someone on here about a year back.

What they do with them, or plan to do with them, is unknown.

perhaps fragrant_monkey is thinking of something like Instant Live, who bring along banks of cd writers and let you walk away from the venue with a recording? it's an interesting business model, and certainly would bring in extra revenue, but I've heard a few of those & am unimpressed. the mix is always "as-is", and in order to burn enough cds to sell the encore is usually omitted. I would expect a band such as Elbow to hold themselves to higher standards

I assume the sbd will be recorded, but I also noticed at cambridge stagelip split omnis flying high (looked like U89's from where I was stood?). would LOVE to hear those!
