They'd need a tambourine for that

haha!! well done Grant! v funny
not a job, crawling with idiot, grace, ribcage, ive got your number... such a good album

Lol why thank you Leo i try my best

Quite happy to see them play anything to be honest, but as the Gateshead gig is going to be my first Elbow live experience, I'll be gutted if they don't do Switching Off and Great Expectations.

And then I'd like to see them slip in some new unplayed song that is so good, it muscles its way in alongside those classics on my favourite Elbow playlist.

i love how in an interview Guy said "lets write an anthemy anthem; something with lots of brass" - cant wait!

That'd be amazing New album's gonna be great got like another year to wait though

blues influenced isnt it? that means more along the lines of Grounds...

I'll be there at Gateshead as well. In fact - I've just had a look at my ticket and realised that I'll be on the front row!! Am frankly over excited!! Having thought about it a bit more, as well as Tower Crane, Some Riot and Powder Blue I NEED to hear Fugitive Motel and Swithching Off!!

I need to hear Mexican Standoff, i've actually fallen in love with that song, and newborn of course

Newborn is pretty much a permanent fixture in the setlist. Mexican Standoff was played live on the Leaders of the Free World Tour. Brilliant it was, too.

Folks who went to Delamere will remember Mexican Standoff as well, complete with die-hard types in the first 15 deep wearing sombreros. I loved it when someone chucked one up on stage and Guy wore it for a bit, complete with daft facial expressions.

Anyway...I'm with Emma G, I also need to hear Fugitive Motel.

Any suggestions for daft encore songs at this stage?

I love that bit of the gig.It always makes me laugh singing a daft song to get them back for the encore.

"come fly with me let's fly let's fly away" haha

i NEED to hear Grace under pressure live... i'll die sad if not...

would be good to hear scattered aswell

hmmm, Newcastle got 'switching off' last night for the first time this tour, and that made a couple of people on here very happy.
Dare I mention 'Mcgreggor' for Liverpool ? for someone who keeps managing to miss it ?

Would that be me by any chance?

Yes please, in any case...

Mexican Standoff is great live. Guy was looking right at me during it at Wolverhampton ( well for about 6 seconds) so its now one of my favourites. I loved it when Guy asked 'Any Mexicans in the audience' and some guy shouts 'Lets have a standoff' brilliant!

i wore a sombrero, and he never played mexican standoff totally gutted
