I must admit, it crossed my mind to buy seated tickets.....   We must be getting middle aged.  

Surely not, Tickster!

I'm going to Liverpool!

hi there, i'm flying in from Amsterdam to see one of the shows. which venue would you recommend? on the Manchester and Leeds dates I have to be in Holland.
Judging by the size of the venues i'm thinking of Cardiff.

thanks

I'm going to see them in Cardiff   I cant wait

Newcastle 31st March O2 Academy! Sister bought ticket for my birthday on pre-sale yesterday   . birthday isn't until end of April haha   . general release tomorrow

Wonder if guy will pick up the guitar on this tour???? Or has a the lure of the runway precluded him from doing that anymore?

hopefully leaders will be played. at iTunes guy said it had no political relevance anymore. since then it probably does with Syria, Russia's anti gay laws and least we forget the flooding in the south. amazing the army turning up in posh areas so quickly

i had Red on my wish list, but as guy plays guitar on it [live] i suspect he'll not want to perform it, ditto Newborn.

Hey guys, I ordered my tickets months ago when the tour was announced, i've received the dvd, i had that a while ago, will the new album be delivered to me this week, thanks for any help any one can give, i haven't listened to any new stuff properly yet i'm waiting for the album.

I really can't wait to hear it and see them live again next month, i'm taking my younger sister who hasn't seen elbow live before, i know she's going to love it

Ok nevermind my last post, the album came today, now just waiting on the tickets

(Wasn't able to create a new topic, so lobbing it in here...)

Glasgow last night - setlist:

Intro - This World Blue music
1. Charge
2. Bones of You
3. Fly Boy Blue/Lunette
4. Real Life (Angel)
5. The Night Will Always Win
6. New York Morning
7. Tower Crane
8. Great Expectation (acoustic again)
9. Blanket the Night
10. Mirrorball
11. The Birds
12. Grounds for Divorce
13. My Sad Captains
encore
14. Starlings
15. Lippy Kids
16. One Day

Not much to add after the reviews of the LG gig on Saturday - excellent show as ever, new songs great, sound was strong - Grounds and Birds really powerful, Great Expectations stunning, and ending with the customary One Day singalong. Visuals not half bad either. Guy's voice seemed to need a bit of a warm up at the start, struggled a bit with the high notes on Charge. Good banter throughout, although a bit too much arm waving for my liking.

I still maintain TTOALOE would have made a fantastic set closer, and would have sounded superb, but not to be... and the lack of a few more earlier tracks detracts a bit, but hey ho, not complaining...
