What tracks will Elbow play?

When Elbow set out to rock the nation in March we are all assuming their new material will be played, but which tracks from previous albums would you like to hear? I'd like to hear:

Mirrorball
Fallen Angel
Forget Myself

Oh, I could go on! Looking forward to March

Powder Blue, Grace, Great Expectations, Station Approach (even though they did it last time), MacGreggor - I could go on...

Asleep In The Back, August and September, Great Expectations, Hotel Istanbul, Can't Stop.....

I'd love to see Coming Second again, blew my mind on the Asleep tour.

Missing Fugitive Motel here quite a lot

McGreggor


Weather to Fly

Fugitive Motel for me, too. I would have suggested Switching Off and Powder Blue, as well, but I'm happy to have seen the Halle versions.

YES! Although if they play it this tour, and i'm not there... Hmmm!
I'd like to hear more (Or any!) of Cast of... That means Grace too!

Have they ever played that live? I'd love it if they did...

Which one do you mean errant?
August and September? (actually I'd looooooove to hear them do that!)

I'd love to hear The The do it live, even less chance of that

Don't mix your drinks is a favourite of mine and Mirrorball I adore, makes me melt!! Getting excited at the thought.

Yea, not gonna happen...

Would you settle for Elbow doing it?

Hell yes!

Well i've never seen them live before soo whatever they play I am excited to hear!!!!

Grace Under Pressure is one of my favourite songs though, so would love to hear that live!

Kayleigh, I was lucky enough to hear them do Grace Under Pressure the first time I saw them live, which was April 2008. And that was one of the songs I'd most wanted to hear! I'd seen video on YouTube of their performance at Glastonbury in 2004, and it had been so cool to see and hear the crowd all chanting along with my favorite part (see my avatar if you're not sure which one I mean!). I always felt jealous of those folks in the crowd, and it was awesome to have the chance to be part of a Grace Under Pressure singalong at my show.

They didn't play it the second time I saw them, which was last August, and I'm a little worried now that maybe Grace is being replaced by One Day Like This, since that's the big crowd-pleasing, singalong anthem they're known for now. Hope they'll find room to bring Grace Under Pressure back in sometimes, though, as it is a magnificent tune to hear live. And hopefully you'll get it at your show!

Apart from the obvious "can't wait to hear lots of stuff from the new album" I totally second MacGreggor - I missed the tour where they played it live and from the vids I've seen it must be amazing. I agree with Can't Stop as well - would so love to see that live. I always ask for Whisper Grass in dream sets like this but it will probably never happen. I can dream. Yes, happy memories of Fugitive Motel, bring it on.

Basically a nice mix of old and new, dreamy and rocking out. It will just be good to see them again

Forgot to say, never, never, NEVER drop Newborn from the set!!!

George Lasso's the moon? Or is that being too unrealistic? XD

To be honest, anything from the Asleep in the Back era. But especially epic songs like GLtM or comming second. Fugitive Motel is a must aswell.

How many song do they play in a full set nowadays??

McGreggor would be good...

I'd love it if they played Mexican Standoff

omg that sounds so awesome!

I really hope they sing it, really really hope!

tbh, I got a little sick of 'Grace', culminating with the last time i heard them play it at Delamere Forest, when a notably pissed John Bramwel (of I Am Kloot)l didn't know the song so began shouting 'Grace! Grace!' into the mic.

Happy with ODLT though, but I am suspectful of a new sing-a-long anthem on BARB.

Didn't Pete tweet something recently about having to go on YouTube to re-acquaint himself with some of the old songs?
Might be a good sign! (Well, for those of us who are keen on hearing some of the old stuff! )

yeah its gonna be an interesting set list i'm sure !
presuming they will want to play some of the new stuff - and there is a huge list of
potential 'older' stuff to choose from. I'm also wondering what will all fit well together
and not sure if i want a 'best of' kinda show or not. The fact its big venues leads me to wonder
whether the bigger tunes will take precedent - but knowing elbow I would still hope
for a less obvious choice..... who knows - will find out 5 weeks tomorrow
